A nice stay for our family annual up north trip. The towels and bedding were very nice and we had plenty of space in each of the bedroom and living room for 8 people. The hot tub was a nice bonus especially for the kids. The extra frdige was nice for drinks to keep cold. The kitchen could of been stocked with some better pots/pans and the house had some cob webs in the corners, some areas not super clean floors, and the gas grill needed to be cleaned as it has some rust in there when we went to use it. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!

We had a great stay on our side by side getaway! The property and amenities were great and the location was perfect for trail access and other locations we wanted to see. Jay communicated everything very well and was responsive to any questions we had. Also plenty of parking for our trailers which is very hard to find. We will be back!!

Cute Cozy comfortable clean cabin

We had a very enjoyable stay at Jay’s cabin in “Lakes of the North”. The beds were all very comfortable and house was very well taken care of. It has older decor wich made it feel very Nostalgic and reminded me of my childhood. Jay was very easy to communicate with before and during our stay. I would highly recommend this beautiful place in Elmira.

Cabin is perfect for our group. This was our second stay and all our guest enjoyed the cabin. Location is perfect for snowmobiling trails and side-by-side. Cabin was clean and directions are easy to follow.We really enjoyed the large open living and dining room space as a group. The rooms are private and beds are comfortable. Plenty of towels for everyone. We even enjoyed the hot tub and sauna as a bonus to our stay. Overall, the cabin is five and our host Jay, was amazing & very responsive. We will definitely stay again!

Anniversary weekend

The cabin was centrally located to all the places we wanted to visit: Charlevoix, Petosky, Our family had a great time and loved that everyone had their own rooms. The weather was chilly but that certainly wasn’t the host’s fault … we were thankful for a fireplace.
