Last Minute Stay

After our Thanksgiving plans changed due to a medical emergency, our family found ourselves looking for a place to stay for a couple days over Thanksgiving in Hubbard Lake that would accommodate 2 adults and four 17 year old teens as well as 2 dogs. Luckily for us this was available and close to my parent’s home. It worked perfectly for what we needed. It was clean and well appointed. We would consider staying again should the need arise.

Quiet Getaway

Such a cozy and quiet weekend getaway for us, and we were able to take our dogs with us which is always a plus. Exactly as described and hospitality was amazing. They had a nice welcome basket waiting for us. Would highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Ken Kosal

Michelle and I have been coming to this area for 30+ years. We have married sons, and an English Setter, Tucker. We enjoy every minute spent in North East Michigan, and are pleased to be able to share this experience with others.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property with the intent of managing another vacation rental. We currently have one located ~ 10 miles away on Jewell Lake and love the interactions with our guest. We are excited to be able to share Hubbard Lake with new guests.

What makes this property unique

It's very quiet on a private road with only 6 cabins, most of the cabins are only occupied on the weekends. Full access to Hubbard Lake with all its beauty.
