Acorn Cabin Retreat
Great Knotty Pine and Acorn design interior. Very comfortable setting. Exterior is quiet with the Ducks swimming by the dock. Reading a book on the deck with the dog looking over the water and yard. We only wish we could have more time to stay. Next visit will be longer. The Gehde's from Green Bay Wi.

Location, location, location!
Convenient, clean & cozy. Easy booking via VRBO. Jennifer was prompt, and courteous with responses. Note...no AC installed but the area temp dropped on the first night and stayed down during our visit. Since our goal was to spend time around each Great Lake this was the perfect location for us. Many thanks to Jennifer and VRBO for the great service!

Wonderful stay
Beautiful cottage of beautiful lake. I feel the pictures didnt do the cottage justice it was much nicer than i expected. Very clean and cozy with every at home amenities i could want. Pontoon is available for rental during the stay for a very reasonable price. While out on the lake we saw bald eagles numerous times over the lake. Was a great view. Will definitely stay at acorn cottage in the future

Rental as described
The rental was pretty much as described, nothing more and nothing less. The cabin is old with older/ uncomfortable furnishings. The location is nice, on a picturesque lake and very close to the Mackinaw bridge and Upper Peninsula. We’ve stayed at a fair amount of VRBOs and most have “welcome” supplies like coffee for the first morning, bathroom soap and basic cooking supplies. This one does not, with the exception of salt and pepper.

August stay
Cottage is small, half the burners on stove worked. Several burned out light bulbs, or no light bulbs. Chairs very and futon uncomfortable. Biggest issue, no rails on steep steps to lake. This should be noted for the older customers or people with disabilities. Pontoon could use a good cleaning. Overall it was less then what I expected. We left a day early due to rain.

This place is c completely awesome. Very clean, gorgeous views, super close to Mackinawand the UP, just great. The pontoon boat was in great shape. I read that someone didn’t like this place and chose to stay in a hotel!?!? Clearly they have some screws loose, this place is top notch.
