The dining area off the kitchen allows you to focus on your family as you enjoy a meal together. A simple 1/2 bath on the main level provides another level of ease between the kitchen, dining and living rooms. The main floor washer/dryer is beneficial after a long day on the water or at the nearby Lake Huron beach (Oscoda Beach Park, just a 3-minute drive). Each step up the stairs brings you one pace closer to descending into one the three (3) queen-size beds upstairs, as you lie your head at night. Each room has a ceiling fan to keep you cool in the evenings. Opening an upstairs bedroom window brings in the crip air in the evenings near the water. The full bathroom- tub (with shower), toilet and sink near the bedrooms provide the convenience we crave while on vacation.

Our group consisted of 5 adults, a 3yr old, and a golden retriever. The house was very spacious so we never felt crowded and the games in the living room were a nice touch. We made most meals at the house. There wasn't a lot of cabinet space to store food but we made do. The only other non-postives were the mini-blinds in the bedrooms didn't block the sun at all so we were woke up at sunrise, and the house needed a good cleaning. There were a lot of spiders & spider webs and dust. Overall, we had a great weekend getaway.

House was clean, somewhat dated, in subdivision- I guess I didn’t realize from reviews- pictures look like it’s more remote - just a normal subdivision- Beds too small for two adults- need 1-2 queen/ king beds for double occupancy. Kitchen pots and pans very used, scratches and residue. - smelled like mildew till we added candle and aired it out. Better than cheap hotel.

This house worked out perfect for us while we met up with family in the area. The home was clean and had everything we needed. I would describe it as having all the comforts of home while still being Upnorth and being super close to a lot to do. I would definitely stay there again.

The inside was very clean and the kitchen was very nice. I picked the property for the proximity to the lake and town. The biggest complaint is the outside. The grass was not cut, the front of the house needed to be power washed cob webs all over, landscape was very lacking. The fire pit was okay but again in the midst of uncut grass. Two buckets of stagnant water by the wood pile. We dumbed them and there was a dead rat in one, which then made it hard to enjoy our fire because all we smelled was the dead animal. The yard and patio were not anything you would want to relax outside and enjoy a cup of coffee on. Felt trapped indoors unless out to the lake. If you had younger kids it was welcoming to relax outdoors. For a vacation area, I think a relaxing yard is essential. In the bathroom the soap dispenser (an old pink tile one, fell off the wall when barely hit with my leg. I think the property has a lot of potential and again inside was very clean and comfortable. Good proximity to other attractions.

Overall lovely place in a quiet neighborhood, with lots of outdoor space. Clean and nicely appointed, it served our purpose for a weekend stay. It's a multi level layout, with steps and stairs to access all rooms and entrances.

We had to find a place quickly for a couple of nights for an out-of-state funeral on a wintery weekend. We had our daughter and grandchildren with us, so this was much better than a hotel. The management was excellent to work with and responded very quickly. We were very happy to have found such a roomy, conveniently located, comfortable, warm place to lay our heads. There was an abundance of games for the kids. The big yard would be nice in the summer.
