Beautiful property
This home was beautiful! There were six of us women that stayed here for our VFW State pool tournament. So much room for us all and two bathrooms was great. We would definitely stay here again.

Fossil hunting in Alpena
My wife and I wanted to get away for awhile to relax and look for fossils. The home was very clean and the owners thought of everything. If you forgot something, they probably had it available in the house. Communication was top notch and again really appreciate the attention to details.

In town visiting family
We had a great stay over a holiday weekend. This house was great with small kids (assuming they can navigate stairs safely) with lots of games, books, and new toya to play with. Having a nursery with a crib was a huge plus because we didn’t have to bring a pack & play! Plenty of space when family came over for dinner & a movie.

Weekend Trip to Alpena
The property was very clean and the location was great with a short walk to downtown and the beach/parks. I traveled with my 11 month son so it was great to have a crib in one of the rooms!
