Relaxing, family retreat!!
Gorgeous PRIVATE waterfront setting on Beaver Lake. Wonderfully maintained, clean, up-north cottage with 2 bdrms, sleeper sofa, 1 1/2 baths, washer and dryer, large deck, propane grill, outdoor hot tub and fire-pit. The detached garage provides a heated bunk room that can sleep 2. Also included is a paddle boat and all fishing equipment needed. Very close to the swimming and boating lakes Avalon, Long Lake and Ess Lake, ORV and snowmobile trails. Adjacent to thousands of acres of state land for hunting and hiking.
The property was very nice, clean and well maintained. It was well stocked with supplies for cooking. The bedrooms were cozy and comfortable. It is close to lots of great fishing lakes. We caught two bass in the lake on the property. The hot tub and deck were wonderful for hanging out at night. The neighbors dogs stopped by every day. They were friendly, but just be aware if you have an anxious pup of your own.
We arrived in the midst of the hottest day of the year, with temps at 93. It would have been nice if the "bunk room" had AC, but we used the pull out bed in the couch and positioned fans strategically around the interior. The 1st night was bearable, certainly not what was desired, but we chalked it up to the adventures of cabin life! By the end of the 2nd day the temps were cooler and the cabin became comfortable. By the endo f our 4 day stay, the morning temps were in the 50's and the morning coffee was perfect on the back porch!!
Our family gathered at this clean, roomy, well supplied home for a few days of peaceful time away from stressful lives. Grandchildren loved the paddleboat and dock. Adults loved that location was so close to bigger fishing lakes in area. We had a wonderful time! Loved this place!
We enjoyed our stay at this gem of a property on Beaver Lake. The long private dock out to the water provides a tranquil environment to sit and relax or hop in the paddleboat and do some fishing. The Smores provided as part of our stay was a nice touch. Would stay here again on my next trip to Hillman.
The cabin was absolutely beautiful! The lake view was stunning. Pretty much had the lake to ourselves. It was really nice to get away from the metro Detroit area and recharge. My husband and I brought our dog and she had such a blast. I would highly recommend this cabin for anyone that is looking to spend time with their family, loved ones and their dog!
Due to the wilderness location but very comfortable house, we convinced our adult son to join us. So much to see not far from here, but also great location to really feel away from everything. The pictures don't do it justice. If you need to get away from it all and/or love nature, can't beat this place.
The place was idyllic and peaceful -- just what we were looking for in a quiet holiday family retreat. There was plenty of kitchenware, towels, and linens for us for a few days. Hot tub was excellent and wifi was quick. It snowed about 4-6" over the first day we were there, and our car had trouble cresting the hilly gravel driveway with all the snow. But that's just our car, which doesn't have 4-wheel drive. Would love to see the space in the summer months!
This cabin was perfect! Very clean, great location.The scenery was beautiful. It has all the amenities that you would need and more. I definitely want to come back
The cottage is just as advertised. This is our second fall staying. We take a yearly fall trip to play disc golf at Clear Lake park. The kitchen is fully stocked, beds and furniture are comfy, house was clean, property is beautiful. The hot tub is nice to relax after a day of disc golfing. We will be back again. Thank you.
This was a very Beautiful home to stay at. Everything was so nice, well maintained and great instructions for use of the place. Night sky in the peaceful hot tube was Amazing. Hope to book again.
We had a great visit and even saw the NORTHERN LIGHTS from the backyard dock. The dock was a great place to star gaze, listen to the owls, and enjoy the little lunar eclipse. We hiked and swam at nearby Ess Lake and ClearWater State Parks. The place was clean and adorable with all the up north decor and beautiful views of the lake.
This was an amazing spot for me and my family to get away for a long holiday weekend. There's a great view of the tiny lake and it didn't have many neighboring properties so it stayed quite for the most part. We had some of the best nights stargazing as there was very little light pollution. The backyard had more than enough room for games and the trees in the back were perfect for putting up a hammock. We enjoyed the hotub and all the amenities this place had to offer. On the days we felt like exploring or being productive, we took a quick trip to Alpena. We are so glad we found this spot to relax!
We had a great stay! The cottage had everything we needed. The property was very clean and we had a peaceful weekend. We enjoyed the pedal boat and the fire pit and the hot tub!
This cabin is very comfortable and well supplied with everything you may need. The location is very quiet and beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay there and would recommend this cabin to others.
After we got the key to the cabin, the owner showed up while we were running errands. We had no idea who he was or why he was in the cabin. The doors were wide open and the A/C was shut off (90* outside). I mentioned how unsettling that was to me by him coming into the cabin and there was no apology. Isn't that illegal?! What if my dog had been in there? There was a mouse that would run from the laundry room to the kitchen each night. The floors, and bathtub were not clean. A lot of ants on the kitchen sink. If you didn't dead lock the door it would push open even if the handle was locked.
It was a nice cabin over-all but there are too many variables that would prevent me from renting again. I couldn't afford another place to rent or I would have left. The door alarm I have is the only thing that gave me peace while I slept, which that wasn't good because I was afraid the mouse was going to crawl on me.
The neighbor's dog pooped in the yard, I hope I don't get charged for that. My dog never pooped there. Overall disappointing!
Second time staying here. Perfect for our family of four. Very well stocked rental at a great central location for exploring many lakes, nearby up north cities, and activities. Some of our favorites are Clear Lake, Rockport, Ocqueoc Falls, and Alpena. We even mixed in Onaway, Indian River, Gaylord, Mackinaw City, and Rogerâs City. We finished every night with a mix of bluegill/bass fishing, relaxing in the hot tub, and a campfire w/ smores. We might just have to make it three years in a row next summer.
I rented this property as a base for a week long fishing trip. The property is spacious and clean. Plenty of room for boat parking and other vehicles. The lake is beautiful, but it is not a swimming lake. The lake is heavily silted, so you sink down in the muck if you try to walk in it. My nephew and I took the paddleboat out for about 30 minutes and boated about 10 bass, a nice blue gill, and a 32 inch pike, all on a drop shot rig. All of the bass were about 13 inches long, but we saw a couple of 3 to 4 pounders cruising the drop off. Anyway, there are fish to be caught with relative ease it would seem. Of course, we threw all ours back for you to catch yourself! This is a very nice place for my purposes, and I will look to rent this place every time I go to this area for a fishing vacation..
Kitchen had every tool, grill was awesome. Hot tub, was great to watch the stars. Only thing I would have asked is a heads up on the neighbors letting their dogs run free. Beyond that, perfect stay.
