This is an older cabin with all the quirks associated with childhood nostalgia of an “up north” vacation. The cabin is very clean with a beautiful lakeside beach view. We very much enjoyed our stay here!

The cabin on Lake Mullet is so quaint and you can't beat the view! The house is as pictured, was very well stocked with many items you need, coffee, paper products, foil, clingwrap, pots and pans! The check in and out procedures were easy and communication with the host was excellent. There are many places to explore in the area, and a great place to bring (or for us, rent). We had a wonderful week's stay!

The cabin was a perfect getaway for my husband, myself, and our two dogs. It was very well appointed and had everything we needed (even Kleenex in every room which is rare for a VRBO - we usually end up needing to buy our own). The lake is beautiful and where we spent most of our time. We would definitely book this spot again!

Our second stay at the Mullett lake Cabin was just as great as the first! Kids love the sandy beach. The location is wonderful - close proximity to everything. House is rustic as described but very clean, even the little things like spices Owners easy to contact. Only great things to say. Can’t wait to go back!

We loved our stay at the cabin on Mullett lake. Plenty of space for our family. Rustic enough that I wasn’t anxious about my kids getting something dirty but clean and comfortable at the same time. Can not beat the location. Will definitely be back!

Hidden gem

My family and I thought this was the perfect spot. Being on the water with our own dock and buoy to tie off too was very convenient. This place had everything we needed and was clean. I was very surprised how roomy it was, pictures do not do it justice. We wanted to book again for next year but it’s already taken for the month:-/ Thank you for sharing your wonderful cottage with us!

We were a little surprised at the scarcity of outlets (none in the main bath). That was a minor thing. Everything else was great.

Im sorry Celeste. There is a gfi outlet in the main bathroom, but it is difficult to see, on the left side of the medicine cabinet. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention and will mention the location of the outlet in the "Quirks of the Cabin" section of the Welcome Book. Hope you will join us again in the near future.

Total relaxation

We brought our oldest daughter and 2 grand daughters to the lovely Mullet Lake. This cottage is fully equipped, right down to am coffee, or tea if you prefer. The 2 kayaks are an extra bonus for going out on this quiet lake. Even Grampa got in the water to play Frisbee catch. Grandgirls loved the upstairs loft and their miniature bathroom. Would def go there again if we coe up north.

Simple older Cottage on the lake

Simple older Cottage on the lake with a nice small Beach and a small deck to enjoy the views it's on the west side so there is no sunset views and the shade comes in early afternoon. It's well equipped with adequate furnishings and kitchen supplies however some of the beds are not very comfortable with just foam pads on a futon board. For being a very old rotten long structure it is surprisingly not musty inside

Dear Jon, We appreciate your review. Windows were our "upgrade" project for this season. We were able to replace 5 before the season started and the other 5 will be replaced in September. There are a couple more upgrades scheduled for this fall. The "log rot" you mentioned is mostly carpenter ant damage and although they are under control they remain an ever-present concern. At some point we'll deal with the cosmetic issue the logs present. Again thanks for the review. We look forward to seeing you next July. Sincerely, Michael Smith

House lake and grounds

The grounds are very nice and well-kept very nice location. The lake. Is beautiful and the weather wash Great. I Was disappointed that there wasn’t a dock for a boat even a small one. As far as the house was very clean roomie, the beds We’re fine. I was concerned about the electric in the house and the lack of heat in the bedrooms. Thank you so much Joe and.

Joe, We're so happy that you enjoyed the grounds and the lake. I'm confused however about the dock. We do have a dock from which a boater can load and unload passengers. The boat however must be moored at the bouy. I apologize if that wasn't clear when we communicated. We sincere hope that you'll consider staying with us again in the near future. Michael & Julie's
