Perfect Wedding Weekend!

We stayed here for our intimate wedding with just siblings & parents. It was absolutely gorgeous & worked perfectly for a venue. The property manager was very quick to respond to questions and the house was extremely clean! The hot tub was perfect! The stairs to the river are currently broken so they are taped off but we didn’t mind.

Gorgeous Log Cabin

The property is absolutely beautiful. 5 stars for sure. We had 18 men here for an ice fishing event nearby. There is a lot of space and activities for the group in the house. My only advice for other large groups like mine would be to carpool. We had a lot of trucks and parking had to be carefully planned. The Host was awesome and communicated very fast to questions. Enjoy this cabin in the woods.

Large Home for Family Gatherings

In Gladwin for our son’s destination wedding. Found the perfect home to host family and friends for a wedding weekend. Many memories made with lots of places to sit and visit from the large kitchen table dining area, to the enclosed porch, back deck and lower level for kids to hang out….simply fantastic!

Family vacation

Home was roomie enough to sleep 4 family's with kids ranging 4 to19 years old. We all had fun playing pool, pin pong, karaoke, and playing in river. (Steps were kind of sketchy, but was told they are supposed to be repaired in August.) The guys fished a local lake and caught some nice bass and blue gill. Kenan answered any questions in a timely fashioned.

Would avoid

Place itself was nice and in a nice area, got to the house and there was garbage stacked in the garage, open alcohol containers around the property, and a green hot tub. Aside from the dirty house i was sent a screen shot of a internet speed of about 500mb, me and my friends are gamers and were happy about it. I got there and it was 5mb without the ability to even stream netflix. He gave me a 1 night refund my troubles, id avoid the property.

Nice Log Home

We had 15 adults and 2 littles. The bunk beds are not really built for adults, so we had to figure out sleeping. The hot tub was enjoyed by many, and the game room area was filled with laughter during big thunderstorms. We did not find the chickens or ducks, and the chiminea and steps down to the river are gone, but overall we enjoyed our stay. Also, we found Kenan is very responsive!

Needs proper cleaning and care...

Although the house was beautiful the care for it is slacking.The hot tub was nasty and could not use it for my leisure. They tried telling me housekeeping cleaned it. The filter was all gross and unchanged. The ovens and grill were nasty unable to use. They need a good house cleaning company. The advertise chickens. There are no chickens.

Guys Trip

We had 12 guys come up to play golf by the cabin. The house had great location with many resources nearby. House setup was wonderful and gave many options for us to entertain ourselves. Front yard was great for yard games and the back deck gave great views of the forest/river.

Family outing

The property was nice. There were a few things that were run down. Screens on windows needed to be fixed, the hot tub not usable because of lack of maintenance, stairs to the river were broke, you could not make it to the river. We had 17 people, and the place was large enough so we did not feel cramped. Beautiful inside if you like the cabin feel.

Adequate stay for 14 adults

Overall the house was nice and adequate for our trip. I liked how isolated it was so we didn't have to worry about noise complaints from neighbors when playing music. The bunk beds were not stable enough to have full grown adults on the top bunk, so some slept on a pull out or couch. I don't see 18 people being able to sleep here comfortably as we had 14 adults and that seemed like the max to sleep comfortably. Quite a few light switches in the house either didn't work or were maybe two-way switches that were too time consuming to figure out. It was nice having the ping pong and pool table available, although the pool table slates we're quite unlevel, causing some balls to jump around. The Sonos surround sound system in the living room was a nice touch, as well as having the hot tub available to use.

Nice

It was a very nice house. Some of the lights didn’t work which made it darker at night. And there wasn’t a lot of comfortable furniture upstairs for a larger group of people to all sit in the living room. Also there was a piece of railing missing on the back deck that was wrapped in tape. The appliances could use some updating as well. The property was very nice as was the wood fireplace. And there was plenty of beds for everyone in the stay. It was a quiet neighborhood which was nice.

House Needs Repairs/Cleaning

The house was very dirty, not on the surface, but cupboards were filled with crumbs, etc....needs a deep clean. Internet/cable were barely usable, every movie buffered several times during viewing. Many plugs did not work. No railing on garage stairs which caused a fall of a family member. The basement is very musty. Listing says 6 bedrooms, but there are only 5. One bedroom only has curtains for a door. Listing also says 3 full baths, there are 2 full, one half. The rail around the hot tub is missing, we saw it up in the garage rafters. They have caution tape where it should be. Insulation is hanging from the garage ceiling. You really can't use the projector in the living room because 1) the plug doesn't reach an outlet and 2) If you could plug it in, it pulls down behind the TV! Be careful of the bunk beds in one of the bedrooms....screw are sticking out of the top bunk, so the person in the bottom bunk could sit up fast and really get hurt. The pictures make it look like there is a slow sloping hill, it isn't, you can't use the back yard at all. We had our wedding ceremony while staying here, so it was very sad the cabin wasn't in good shape.

Nice house that fit our group comfortably ...

Had 12 guys (all over 55) for annual golf trip and were able to find sleeping quarters for everyone without having to double up. Kitchen had everything we needed for meals and we appreciated the labels on the cabinets letting us know where things were (pots/pans, utensils, coffee mugs, etc) and the two coffee makers (drip and Keurig) offered options. The three commodes and two showers were convenient for our group with plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Nice property - location is challenging to find with GPS. House was clean and comfortable. The smoking room (on the deck) was appreciated by those in our group who enjoy cigars and our two regular smokers, however, the roof leaked during some heavy rains soaking about 1/3rd of the all weather carpet. Check-in and out was easy with great communication. We didn't use the hot tub but it was clean and ready to go.

Don't bother

Sleeping quarters were inaccurate. Says sleeps 16 with individual beds. 3 bunk beds were missing in the home that are easily countable on layout description. I had 16 guys on golf trip, 3 guys shared larger beds together, other 3 three guys went to a hotel. The hot tub water was green, and unusable. The large TV in living room was linked to wi-fi that did not work. Pool table was split down the middle, unusable. All the garbage containers in the garage and outside the home overflowing with trash. All the towels for showers were in the dryer wet upon arrival. All the dishes, silverware, and glasses where in the sink and dishwasher dirty. Contact numbers on house guest book are both disconnected or voice-mail not set up. Avoid this listing at all costs!

Our group's weekend experience was mixed.

There is a lot to like about the Crown Jewel but there is also a lot of room for improvement. Our group's weekend experience was mixed. One of the biggest issues was the actual number of beds. When I booked this house a year ago it specifically said there were 18 beds (or bed equivalents)... that was NOT the case. Counting beds, sofas & futons there were 12 at most. Another big issue was the condition of the hot tub... it was disgustingly dirty. Although the host was prompt to reply that it would be taken care of... it took 24 hours before someone showed up... but that was at 9:30 pm!... way too late to get started since we were leaving early the next morning. We also came into a house where ALL the towels were still in either the washer or dryer and ALL the trash cans were full plus several extra bags of trash. Also be aware there are only 2 showers in the house if that's of importance. When I booked, the listing said 3 full baths but that's not the case. On the plus side there was plenty of room for a group of 16 guys to socialize. The pool table and electronic dart board in the lower level were a good hangout area (but bring your own darts like we did as the ones provided have no usable tips). And as previously stated, the host was very prompt to reply to messages to address the issues although unfortunately it did not result in a timely resolution for us. This property has the potential to be a real gem but in my opinion it's not currently there.
