Family & fishing getaway 2023

We were impressed by the setting and landscaping. The pond was great and the screened in gazebo was the cherry on the top. The firepit and sidewalk had brand new concrete. This place had everything and more. It was simple and not overdone. We were able to relax and enjoy the nature. We saw turkey hens and their babies a few times. Boat launches are less than 20 minutes. We had no concerns with leaving our boat and equipment in the yard. We will definitely be back, the setting is peaceful, private and safe.

Loved this home

My family truly enjoyed our week long stay at Jeff’s cabin. We would not hesitate to stay there again. My grandkids enjoyed being able to roam in the woods with no fears (being from FL, we have snakes and critters to worry about). This house is well stocked.

Two night, Turned into 1 night

The property has potential but, we will not go back. Reached property after 8 pm, first thing you experience going inside was dark musty smell, HUMID, and 85 degrees inside. Turned on the lights and all you see through out the house is old stained carpet. So my significant other and I were sitting at the kitchen table trying to figure out if we were staying and we heard scratching from behind the refrigerator. We should have left but we had drove 4.5 hours to get there and had been up since 430am. We reluctantly stayed and left by 1030am the next morning.

The location is perfect for those looking to fish Saginaw Bay!

The house is perfect for a fisherman's getaway! The best part was being able to come "home" and clean our fish in the comfort of the heated garage.

This beautiful home was everything that we needed for our Girls Weekend.

I would recommend this rental to anyone looking for a peaceful place to just relax. It was on a quiet dirt road and was VERY clean and met all of our needs. The woods were beautiful and the gazebo gave us a nice way to be outside and chat without having to worry about the bugs. The owner was very nice and welcoming. His wife even left us homemade cookies. Please give this place a chance.
