About this property

More than Just a Cottage!

This is a great get-away for your immediate family or just the two of you for a romantic weekend. Stay in the comfort of your own home with seating for 6 in great room with 55" 4K smart TV with gas fireplace. Two contemporary leather recliners in sun room with 40" Fire TV for reading, watching sports and relaxing movies. Large library of DVD available. Love the contemporary recliners after an active day outside! Little Free Library on property, Fire Pit with generous supply of wood! Gourmet kitchen with double ovens, 5 burner cooktop, french door refrigerator, granite counter tops. White pine trees to give you privacy and attract the local birds and friendly deer! Variety of games for all ages. Lily pad, boogie boards and beach chairs for water fun at the beach which is a short walk away. Lake Huron gives you the BEST water activity and wonderful sunsets! We love to suggest early a.m. Charter fishing (reserve before arriving) for family fun and fresh Walleye. Younger children LOVE the crows nest bedroom loft with spiral staircase! Mini escape loft with double bed is favored by teenagers. All bedroom have USB charging ports. Stacked washer and dryer and tankless hot water in utility room for continuous hot water supply. Reverse osmosis drinking water in kitchen. Outside 450 sq feet deck on front and side of cottage to relax in morning sun and afternoon shade with relaxed seating and table and chairs for outside dining and crafts for kids. We invite you to enjoy our summer home as if it was yours. Welcome to the Aspen Annex!

Girls weekend get away!

The house was just perfect! It was my 3 girl friends and I! We went for a nice relaxing weekend, the inside fire place and kitchen were amazing, also a nice bonus of stacked fire wood and fire starter to light the bonfire outside! We will definitely be back!

Amazing!!

Thank you Michelle! Right from the beginning the communication was great. We arrived and couldn’t believe the layout and decor. Everything you need is there. 5 minute walk to the beach, which was one of the most enjoyable times for the whole family. It was so clean and the crowd at the beach was so light we couldn’t believe it will be staying here again. Thanks again

Great place, TERRIBLE Communication

We absolutely loved the property. The two bedrooms are a bit small, but for an up north cabin a lot of room isn't necessary. The only thing that knocks down my rating is how terrible the level of communication was with the rental owner. When we went to check in I still had not heard from her even two hours prior to check-in. Her voicemail was full. I contacted VRBO Customer Service and the owner finally texted me. I contacted her several times during our stay for trivial things. She wouldn't answer for hours, one time it was even an entire day later. If I had had any sort of emergency or real need it would have went unfulfilled. Extremely unprofessional.

Beautiful Home!

Such a beautiful vacation home that came with everything you might need and more! Was just a short walk to the beach, although we did decide to drive since we had so much we wanted to lug. Michele was so quick to communicate with me, as well. Would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Michele Ulrych and Mark

Host profile image
We purchased this property at auction and rebuilt from studs and created a home that we love to spend time in! It has been created with love and hard labor from us. Roger is a handyman and I am the willing partner who assisted in the hard labor of love to create this home. Two additions were added from the original property. We finished it with premium touches to bring it into the 21 century. We had one of the original builders stop by last year and gave us history from 1972 of the property. We are lifetime Michigan residents who want to maintain the Michigan shoreline and water wonderland.

Why they chose this property

Just enough nature and privacy surrounding property, but plenty of activity to keep it interesting with children and families in nearby cottages on Trail Road. Wonderful neighbors. Caseville has the small town atmosphere except during Cheeseburger Festival! Love the Saturday morning farmers market in Port Austin.

What makes this property unique

Memories of great visits, fire pit conversations, song and laughs! This is your story that you make, we just provide the venue! One more fun stop on your journey of life!
