4th of July weekend
Cons: We were surprised that the Family room did not have an A/c. No centralized A/c. Game room lighting needs a lot of improvement specially the ping pong table lighting. Too loud and old window a/c units.. Pros: Good location.. very safe. Walk in the woods was very nice.. backyard we setup a volleyball net and that was good.. dining table perfect for playing cards.. outdoor spot for fire was good.. Overall some improvments will make this stay even better.

Gaylord Family Vacation
The house was great. Only constructive criticism would be to have more full or queen size beds. Too many twins that were not large enough for several of my taller kids.

Great for families with young children
We had our annual family vacation here and it was a great week. Perfect weather and the house was great. We had young children with us 10 months-5 years and the rooms were virtually sound proof which made naps and bedtime easier. We took day trips to mackinaw and the soo locks. Downtown Gaylord has a few fun places to go. There are also a few trails in the area, and one right behind the house, that we took advantage of. We will consider this location again next year.

Loved the back porch
The setting provided convenience to modern conveniences, yet was secluded and quiet with woods, large yard, and fire pit. Plenty of room for our large family. Could have used more seating in the kitchen, and would be nice if central air conditioned.

A fantastic experience at a great location. Sue was super helpful with communication and laid out very clear instructions for the process. The cabin was perfect. It was clean, well organized and allowed for a very easy to plan weekend. I would stay absolutely stay again. It was a perfect location to access all the local golf courses with easy drives.

Beautiful House
This was our second time staying here. The house is very spacious. large enough to accommodate our family. Very clean! Well stocked! Peaceful, wooded location. Bonus room is great area for grandkids to play. State park is nearby with a sandy beach and fun to swim. Covered porch is is a great place to gather. Stocked well with inside games for rainy days. Sue is quick to respond to emails. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

Tranquility
This property was in great shape and the location was awesome! We were only about 12 minutes from Gaylord which had everything you might need during your stay. Being in the woods was a huge hit for the kids and us. My father-in-law spent most nights sleeping outside on the wrap around porch! We all enjoyed that porch a lot. All ages from 8-62 enjoyed the rec room above the garage. This place was amazing and well cared for! Sue even reached out to let us know that the forecast was showing more humidity than previously and told me what to do to make it a comfortable temperature in the house. Thank you, Sue!

Great place for us to be all together and separate at the same time. There was perfect space and flow for everyone to gather all together or to separate into sub-groups of conversations and activities. The cabin was clean and comfortable with a well-appointed kitchen, and comfy beds.

Family Time
Timber Valley in Michaywe is a perfect home for a large group. We only had 5 staying there, but there is plenty of room for more. The beds were very comfortable and having 3 1/2 bathrooms is a plus! We were in town for a memorial, but this would be a wonderful home for a vacation. It is immaculate and the little touches of paper towel holders in each bathroom was great. Sue the owner was great to work with and we really appreciated it. Thanks for a great stay! Dan and Karin

Fantastic getaway
The house was exceptionally comfortable and cozy. Very clean and welcoming. The pictures don’t do it justice. The property is private with all your shopping needs within 15 minutes away. My family and I (total of 7 adults and one 17 month old and 2 dogs) spent a week and were not crowded at all. The owner is easy to communicate with and very thoughtful and nice. Bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and kitchen fully stocked with all kitchenware. I would highly recommend this cabin for a great getaway and I look forward to coming back!!!

Golf Trip
Cabin was cleaned from previous guests after some of us checked in early. No big deal for us (eight guys), owner contacted cleaning crew, they arrived shortly & did a great job. We had plenty of space, back porch was a great place to gather after golf & dinner. Three of stayed on the first floor & five upstairs. It would of been a big plus if two showers were available upstairs instead of one. Recommendation to all owners: Please consider upgrading a standard toilet (height of 14.5” to at least 17.5”). These are a must for most seniors. Trying to sit down or rise from a standard toilet is extremely difficult, especially for tall people or anyone with recent hip surgery.
