Guest Reviews

Relaxation at the Brown Bear

Carl F Mishler

We stayed at the Red Laker last summer. We wanted to try the Brown Bear this year because we wanted a little more space. Cabin was the perfect size and was very private. Enjoyed having a charcoal grill. Used it several times. I missed not being directly on the lake, but it is not too far of a walk to get there. I enjoyed using the rowboat and using my SUP on the lake. The only negative was that my mother was allergic to the sheets and towels that were provided. She has allergies. She had to wash the sheets and towels, which seemed to help. I think it was the fabric softener that had been used to wash them. Will keep that in mind if/when we come back.

Review for Bayside Cottage

Jerry Haan

The cottage was perfect for our needs. Great location (walking distance to downtown.) Nicely furnished and super clean. The property manager (Kelly) was great to work with.

Stayed at The Coral Castle – Gorgeous and Great Location!

Thanks!

Dave Cairns

We had a great time staying at Bayside Cottage! It was so fun to be able to explore downtown Frankfort, as well as walk to the beach and farmers market. We used the house as a basecamp as we explored the beaches, communities and lighthouses in the Sleeping Bear/Traverse City region.

Life Aquatic in October

Norm D’amico

This is the 2nd time we’ve stayed at Life Aquatic and everything was great once again. As pet owners we like that the yard is completely fenced with a gate at the end of the driveway. We did get to see some beautiful fall colors until the rain came. We may be back again for another vacation in the Alpena area.

Birch Shores Resort – Aspen

Joyce Fletcher

This summer marked over 50 years of our family staying at Birch Shores Resort. Little Glen is a beautiful lake and the cottage, while rustic, is comfortable and very close to the lake. We practically live on the recently added deck. The surrounding area is a blend of breathtakingly beautiful nature and amazing galleries, adorable shops, and fun restaurants.

Life Aquatic September 2024

Douglas Peoples

After a rather stressful week before, we had a wonderful relaxing getaway time at Life Aquatic. The view is awesome and the house was exactly what we wanted. Watched the resident egret, 2 pair of trumpet swans and their constant duck companions. The water is perfect for kayaking and paddle boards. Almost no waves. The house is maintained and clean. It’s very pet friendly. Our dogs loved the fenced in yard. We highly recommend this place in the Alpena Michigan area.

Girls weekend

Judith Deering

This was one of the best places we have ever rented, and the 4 of us have done this for 30 years. Very clean, fully stocked, comfortable beds and walking distance to everything local. We would definitely stay again.
