Great up north cabin, we had a wonderful time relaxing and enjoying the water. Location was very quiet and peaceful. The hot tub was a really nice bonus to enjoy and look out at the water. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing experience!
This is wonderful little cottage on a beautiful beach and lake. Perfect place for family time! It's rustic and small, but has lots of charm! This is the perfect balance between those who like camping and those who want comfort. You get the feel of camping with nice, basic living comforts. The hot tub was a wonderful perk!
We stayed here last summer for my sons graduation at Interlochen, soon as we entered the living room smelled of dog urine from the couch that was soaked. On complaining the next day the cleaning crew came by and soaked the couch in bleach that made the whole day unbreathable. Dreamy location, nice offer of kayaks to use, but property itself is very date, Jacuzzi never cleaned and upkeep in inadequate. IF you find a different house on the same street , would be a good location, between the two lakes. too Pricey for such an old cabin.
The house is cozy and comfortable and the location is wonderful, with a peaceful view. We enjoyed the sauna. The hot tub had chemical level issues, so we were unable to utilize it as much as we would have liked. I'm sure this would be an amazing rental in the summer!
We booked this property for a short family vacation. My hope was that I could do some work while my kids and family enjoyed the lake.
The good:
* The beach was wonderful, my kids had a great time playing in the water.
* The weather was great.
* The place had a reasonable kitchen and grill, so we were able to cook some family meals and enjoy time together.
The bad:
* During the whole stay the internet would not work. Despite restarting the router multiple times and trying to connect to my phone, I was not able to work at all during the trip.
* The pipes in the house are definitely old and copper. You can smell it in the water when taking a shower and we had to double wash all our clothes to get the smell out. Unsure if it's safe to drink, but we ended up using bottled water during our stay.
* The garbage was not emptied from the previous occupants and had a lot of flies and smelled quite bad. We had to move it away from the bedroom window in order to get some sleep.
* My wife had a mold allergy which was aggravated during our stay in the cabin, and so she was unable to fully enjoy herself during the trip.
Overall my kids had a good time, but I wasn't able to get any work done and my wife and extended family complained a lot. We ended up leaving a day early due to the problems, though my two boys were quite upset.
