We really enjoyed our stay at Clarklake Cabin. Such a beautiful huge cabin with lots of room for a large group. The cabin itself is massive with so many gathering places, lots of comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, so may games and play equipment, and 4 bathrooms. The property is also quite large with many gathering places including a large outdoor gazebo room, fire pit, large deck and fishing pond. There was so much to do at the cabin that we never even ventured over to Clark Lake.
We booked this property for a group of us who have been friends for 35 years to celebrate a few birthdays. This property has the space and amenities we were looking for, and many we didn't know we wanted. The giant JBL speakers and magnificent espresso machine were massive hits. If we had known about the many different outdoor cooking options, we would have planned food differently, but we did use the Blackstone to make a mountain of pancakes. Between the four lounge areas, the outdoor pavilion, and the basement game room, there were plenty of spots for simultaneous noisy and quiet pastimes. Getting familiar with the light switches took some effort, but everything worked, and the Wi-Fi speed was excellent.
Lots of room to spread out, both inside and out. A remote bedroom that allowed for quiet time for younger to take naps without interfering with everyone ability to socialize. Nice and big yard to play fetch with the dog. Overall, a very relaxing place.
This property has everything you want for a group get together. Tons of large bedrooms, communal space, things to do. 10/10 no notes, would gladly stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay/time. The property was all decked out for Christmas. So much space for 16 of us to spread out!
We all enjoyed the hot tub. Especially the kids. We were bummed there wasnt any snow. Just the typical mushy Michigan weather. Lots of space outside also to spread out.
A few suggestions would be to clean out some cupboard space for guests to use for food/supplies. Also, organize/upgrade pots and pans. We were searching between kitchens for things to cook with. There is tons of stuff in the kitchen to use, but so much its hard to find things. Maybe pack some stuff away for now.
Also, maybe some instructions on how to use appliances/tvs. We figured out the fireplace and hot tub by fiddling with it. There is a sauna outside but we couldnt figure it out.
Theres also a fancy coffee machine in addition to the keurig and coffee pot.
Overall its a very nice place to have a family vacation. Very clean and lots of space. Its probably really great in the summer!
20+ of us from age 3 to age 60+ stayed at this property for several days and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Everything was very clean on our arrival and the kitchen, etc is well stocked. So much space..... inside and out...... Highlights included the fantastic fire pit, the pond with its fish and turtles, the deck and large yard for playing kickball, bocce, cornhole and just hanging out. The gazebo was fantastic. We went to the small, public beach at Clark Lake a couple times as well as the local playground. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to return!
I get together with a bunch of high school friends every year, and this year we landed on this house (when looking for somewhere to rent). Man, was this a great house! Everything that we need/wanted. So many places to hangout, from outside to inside.
This is definitely on our list of places we will be back to FOR SURE!
Who knew such a fantastic place was located on the outskirts of Jackson, Michigan? We loved the rustic cabin atmosphere with plenty of space to spread out both indoors and out. Close proximity to Cascades, Clarklake, and The Parlour made it an awesome experience. We would visit this place again in a heartbeat.
The house is amazing. All of it. The teen girls loved the separate attached apartment (and we all used the 2nd kitchen). All the other bedrooms were great. Kitchen was amazing - the adults hung out around the large island that always had plenty of food. Cooking facilities and plates, silverware, glasses and other supplies - everything was perfect. A few of us used the expresso/cappuccino maker. The other rooms were wonderful. Hot tub outside was very cool. Basement was great - with ping pong, air hockey and foosball. Futon room was great too! It was very cold outside, so only the kids ventured around the property.
We had four families - 8 adults, 7 teens and two under 12...it was a wonderful time. Four nights (kids' winter break). Everyone thought the house and amenities were incredible.
We'd rent it again in a heartbeat.
This place was great! It had everything you might need and some. Literally. Great, quiet location, with a massive backyard, a place for bonfires and grilling. Host and his staff were exceptional, very responsive and supportive. We forgot a few items in the house, but they found everything and shipped it to us. We definitely recommend this place and will be coming back.
We went with a big group and a lot of kids. The property was so spacious and so functional, that it never felt crowded. All the amenities that you can think of. Would like to visit again in summer time to enjoy the outdoor spaces more. Highly recommended.
My work was holding a work retreat and this was the perfect spot. Everyone had their own space for themselves and to work together. Loved the outdoor deck and fire pit, allowed us to to have a relaxing weekend. Would 10/10 recommend!
Had a wonderful time staying here for the weekend with a large group, the place is massive and we had no issues with sleeping arrangements or cooking. The location is quiet, the yard is massive, and we had plenty of room to have separate groups doing different things without getting in each other's way. Would recommend for large groups for sure!
The property was perfect! It was beautiful and loved that it actually accompanied all of us! We have a large family and a lot of the places we have stayed at has enough bed but never enough supplies (such as dishes and table space) but this place had everything we needed and more! We were able to eat all of our meals together. The downstairs livingroom even had enough seating for us to watch movies together!
Overall a wonderful experience. Beautiful house and property! Definitely recommend for large groups. Kitchen should have been cleaner. Cable tv cumbersome. Had to download aps just to watch local channels.
It was last moment for us booking the house and we were all amazed by how the house looked. Right fit for more families with kids. Plenty of room and entertainment for the kids and adults too. We are going back here for sure soon.
