Very nice time

Property accommodated 6 adults with no issues. Local air conditioner units keep all rooms cool even in the mid-80's. The dock with water toys and swim platform is a huge selling point. Mark was a good host and very responsive. Hope to make a return trip next year.

New Years Trip

We stayed at the cottage over the New Year weekend with the main purpose to ski and celebrate New Years. Due to luck of snow we didn't ski as much as we planned and spent more time at the cottage. The cottage was really clean, cozy, comfortable beds and we enjoyed holiday decor throughout the house. When the listing said to only bring coffee, it meant it. It truly had everything we needed and more. Spending time with my family and friends, playing games and cards (plenty at the cottage) while enjoying beautiful view of the lake, creating unforgettable memories. The host is amazing. Great at communicating even wishing us Happy New Years. We had zero issues. Highly recommend. Perfect for one large family or two smaller families.

Great cabin on the lake for families

Clean and cute cabin. My family and I had a great time kayaking, paddle boarding and jumping off the floating dock (all included in the rental). Property owner was easy to reach if needed. Would definitely visit again!

Lots of fun at this cabin

I, my 2 children and 5 grandchildren (ages 1 - 15) enjoyed our stay at this property. My 11 year old grandsons loved fishing from the dock and caught many fish right there. There were lots of water activities available right at the cabin. Weather was a little chilly for our stay, but we used kayaks and paddleboards that are provided and on last evening did take a swim and lots of jumps off the swimming platform. Cottage is located about an hour or so from Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. We took day trips to both of those. And, Mark is a great host. We accidentally left behind on the dock a newly purchased sweatshirt which Mark kindly made sure was returned to us. Thanks Mark.

A great place

We traveled to celebrate the new year in Northern Michigan. Enjoyed the place. Had everything you needed for a great stay. Cozy family room made us feel right at home. The decor was adorable. View of the lake was beautiful. I’m sure it’s a great place in the summer as well. Plenty of space for our larger group. No issues at all. Would rent again. Mark was a great host, communicated throughout.

Cottage at Arrowhead Lake

Very peaceful setting; so quiet you can hear the acorns falling. We loved the fire pit in the evenings. This was our “home” for exploring Northern Michigan and Mackinac Island, so we weren’t here much. We truly enjoyed our stay, but there were three things we weren’t thrilled with: the downstairs bed is too large for the room and hard to get in/out of; the master bdrm shower is almost big enough to turn around in; and the Roku TV system should have had detailed instructions for use.

So cozy

Such a relaxing and carefree experience at Mark's place - no surprises, everything as pictured, and he was great with updates and advice to aid in our pre-planning. The neighborhood is lovely and so relaxing to be right on the lake. Too cold for us to take advantage of many outdoor amenities, but the seclusion and relaxation to be gained from just sitting at the deck, dock, and firepit was just what we needed. Home is very roomy, cozy, and provided plenty of amenities. Would absolutely stay again!

Pleasant, Well-equipped

We represent 4 adults in our 70's. This VRBO is very nice and well-accommodated. Good amenities. The beds we used were comfortable. The downstairs queen-size bedframe is heavy and we thought oversized for the room. Note one side is placed against the wall, which could cause some inconvenience. Suggest rethinking the furniture for that room. Those with physical problems that cause stairs to be a challenge, may encounter difficulty accessing the dock. Didn't stop us, but there are lots of steps to tackle, as shown in the photos. Kitchen has everything and than some. Fishing was fun from the dock and from our boat. We brought our fishing boat and launched it from the community launch. Lots of outdoor seating available. The lake scene from the windows is lovely to view. We enjoyed our stay very much and Mark was very good with communication. .
