About this property

The Octagon - Country Chic-2-BR house on US-23N in N. Alpena/Presque Isle.

Visiting the Alpena and Presque Isle areas, your adventure begins at this 2-bedroom Octagon-shaped house. The site of a former bank in the 80s, this unique property sleeps 4. The ground level is bright and cheery with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom (shower only), a Master with vaulted ceiling, a California king bed, and coffee station w/beverage fridge. The 2nd BR has a queen bed and a 50" smart tv. The staircase leads to the lower level where the fully equipped kitchen and living areas are, including a washer/dryer and the original bank safe. It has the boardroom feel and is the perfect place to hide away after an afternoon of too much sun, concentrate on some work or take in a movie. Each floor has multiple plugs and charging ports, and a 75" smart TV ready to stream using your services. (no cable) There is well water, but if you talk to the locals, it's the best there is! Something about the limestone-rich area. We leave a few bottled waters and 2 gallons for your ice and coffee needs. No Ice maker, we've got some trays, but you might want to pick some up. Fire pit with wood, no barbeque (yet). A circular, spacious gravel parking lot allows plenty of room for your boat trailers, no need to unhitch. Sorry, no RVs are allowed. Right down the road from the new (2024) boat launch at Long Lake County Park. Located on US23N, sure there is road noise and in the summer the rock haulers let you know they’re coming, but in the time where there’s no one whizzing by at 55, there is silence. There is seclusion with no neighbors nearby, except the guy diagonal across, in the summer he may be your DJ, but being in the middle of everything, there is seclusion with plenty of parking....and in the winter, well, it’s just magic! With amenities like 2 natural gas furnaces, 2 AC units, WiFi, a full spice rack, air fryer, 2 coffee makers, blender, crockpot, Some ramen in the cupboard, towels, linens, games, books, plenty of places to lounge, and 2 refrigerators, our place will help you feel at home while you're traveling in Alpena and surrounding areas. Sorry no pets.

Very unique and clean home away from home
We had a lovely time staying at the Octagon. Denise was a great host and provided everything that we needed for our stay. The house was very clean, the location was ideal for where we were visiting and all of the amenities were available in the house.
Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024
