This property was perfect for our annual ice fishing trip and accommodated six of us very nicely. The rental was spacious and clean, and the host was very pleasant to work with. The location of the rental is great for anyone looking for quick and easy access to all that Mullett Lake has to offer.

It was a pleasure to have you and your friend here, what a great place in northern Michigan to rekindle friendships and enjoy the beauty of the north country!
We enjoyed our stay and the cabin was fairly close to the lake, a short walk away. Not too far from Cheboygan. Nice large lawn for kids and dogs to play.

Glad you enjoyed your stay, your dogs were very well behaved and enjoyed the outdoors and walks.
Jim, we are so glad you felt our place was comfortable and relaxing, wish we would have had more time to visit, glad your family was able to come also, hope your wife had a chance to visit the places she remembered when she was young. Also the Shrine in the Woods is an unbelievable place to visit. Hope you can make the trip again!
We were thankful to find such a lovely setting to stay at for our large family gathering on Mullet Lake. The home was large and cozy, had great space in all the rooms and the beds were very comfy. The home was also pet friendly, which was a must.

It was a pleasure to have you and your family here during a special time of a memorial for a very special lady that touched everyone’s life in a special way, May her legacy go on with the next generation.
Great place! Close to everything we did.
Great space for 8 ladies to enjoy themselves. Beds were very comfortable. Loved having an outdoors grill and fire pit.
We would stay again!

Thanks for choosing our vacation rental, glad you enjoyed your stay, if you decide to have another ladies weekend hope you know you are welcome back, home away from home!
What a perfect place for 3 dads with their boys for a High School fishing tournament. Everything was as advertised and we had enough room for all 7 of us to have our own space! Plenty of beds! Sue was a pleasure to talk to and deal with. Very nice hosts! Will be back next year if available!

So glad everything was good for all of you, thanks for keeping things picked up when you left, your group was a pleasure to have here and will be welcomed back, hope to see you for the next tournament or just a vacation!
My wife and sons and I stayed here and used it as a base of operations for day trips (Mackinac Island, St. Ignace, Cheboygan). It was great! Homey and comfortable. The fire pit was great, the host provided firewood (plus there’s tons to be gathered in the nearby woods). Kitchen was very nicely equipped for a northern Michigan cabin, we cooked breakfast and dinner every day. Lastly, it was nice watching the deer eat from the fruit trees on the other side of the road.
Would recommend!

Thank you for your kind review, always a pleasure to see families like yours to enjoy our place, hope your boys will have great memories of northern Michigan !
We were a group of anglers up at Indian river for a bass tournament. There were 6 of us with 3 truck and trailer rigs. Plenty of room for vehicles. Homeowners lived next door and were super welcoming. Got home the first evening after fishing and we had a fire bull for us and plenty more wood for the week. The cabin is open and spacious. Great for a larger group like ours.

Thank You Brad glad you enjoyed your stay, we enjoyed having you and fellow anglers, your always welcome to stay again if you are in this area!
Nice place, the issues we had were discussed with Sue seems cleaning service needs to do little deeper cleaning. Concern about furniture needing repairs. Also needed more than one trash can. Great location

Thanks for your concern, we have changed the cleaning service, we had no idea about the furniture that needed repair, the cleaning service is supposed to keep us informed on any repairs that are needed. We had added a larger trash container for larger groups like yours.so glad you and your family had a great vacation and enjoyed our place!
There was no washer or dryer working as it was supposed to be included. The controls for the upstairs TV were missing which was a problem for an elderly person that could not go downstairs However, the property owners were friendly and the home was very clean.

A new remote was being sent from dish tv and it took a few day to get here and the washer did not get hooked up completely due to mechanical problem, guest was compensated for inconveniences, glad you enjoyed your stay!
I cancelled this listing last September. If my card/checking act was charged I will submit Fraud charges. I told woman owner twice on phone I was not interested. I did not go. VRBO SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PERSON

OUTSTANDING!!! The Cabin/House Location Perfect
Our family traveled from Poseyville, Indiana (Far southern Indiana) to visit Michigan! The Cabin/House location was perfect in Indian River. The cabin sets back off the road somewhat in the woods. The cabin was so accommodating for the six adults and 2 children. The cabin was clean and well maintained. The cabin had a basement therefore, plenty of space for watching TV upstairs or downstairs. Plus some could sleep downstairs or upstairs. A dinette in the kitchen with bar stools at the kitchen counter, or you could eat at the dining table. It was everything we had hoped it would be. This was perfect for our 40th Wedding Anniversary Family Vacation. Adults and kids loved that we cooked outside or inside. The weather was beautiful all week. Sue and her husband were very sweet and helpful. They met our family when we arrived. We built a campfire at night, told spooky stories, & shared family time. There were chairs and a picnic table so we ate outside alot. Our family rented a pontoon at Mullett Lake, went boating, tube riding. We boated Mullett Lake, Birch Lake, and near Indian River. Several days we went to the public beach, it was beautiful . We went to Aloha State Park. We swam, played in the sand, and watched the boats. One day we went to Mackinac Island where to our surprise, our daughter was proposed to by her boyfriend. We celebrated their engagement on the wonderful island. We drove across the Mackinac Bridge. We went to Cheboygan to fish, ate at the restaurants. We went to several great ice cream shops. Our family also visited the Cross in the Woods, another beautiful place. One evening we went to the boat docks and watched the Indian River Lighted Boat Parade. Great memories! Thanks Sue

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay, we love to accomadate our guests and glad we are part of your cherished memories in the beautiful north country. We want you to feel this your home away from home when you visit the area again. It was our pleasure to meet you and your family !
Was very clean when we walked in. Very spacious and the 2 separate living areas was very nice. Owner was very nice. When renting please be aware that you need to bring your own paper towels and tp. Beds were super comfy. Overall a great experience.
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Even though it is secluded, there is some type of motocross trail across the road so it can be noisy in the evenings when sitting outside around the campfire. A couple noisy trucks also went up and down the road each night. The cabin could use a little TLC, but it worked for us. Pluses: A/C, fire ring, roomy, large TV on the main floor and basement (access to Netflix and Prime Video), nice paved area for parking and clean. Remember that one bed is on the main floor and the rest of the beds are down the stairs in the basement (no bathroom on that level). The pictures are a bit outdated and show furniture that has been replaced or removed. This is more of a cabin setting. You will need to bring your own hairdryer, TP, paper towels. There is no dishwasher, washer or dryer. There were no hooks in the bathroom to hang towels or dresser/closets for clothes. The deck on the back is very small and has some loose and rotting floor boards under the carpet, so be careful. I don't think I would stay here again due to the one bathroom and the basement also has a musty, humid odor. But Sue the owner was a great communicator and the stay went as planned. You may not be able to tell from the pictures but there is a house trailer on one side, and the owner's home on the other.
We chose to stay at a cabin for a family vacation. We wanted to see Makanawic island which we did one day. Thought cabin was on a lake is by a lake but not for swimming. We found lots of nice beaches. Cabin was very nice and big. Has everything you need. Shower is nice but alittle small. We enjoyed our stay and loved our visit to the Upper Pinsulsa!
Great location, quiet and spacious. Bathroom was nice size but the shower was tiny and there is no tub. Most places we’ve stayed previously had washer & dryer, this one did not. A little inconvenient, but not a deal breaker. Lots of missing face plates on the electric plugs, and a hole at the the bottom of the front door that was covered with duck tape. It didn’t bother us much but it is a hazard for curious little kids. Overall we had a good stay.

This property has everything but bathrooms. Roomy sleeping six but the bathroom would be crowded for two midgets! Shower (only) is tiny.
