Nature lovers paradise w/direct access to lake, trails & ample trailer parking.

House is beautifully 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with 3 separate living areas and additional sleeping in basement. House is 1750 square feet so there's plenty of space to spread out. Interior is completely finished with knotty pine. Located on beautiful Avery Lake in Atlanta Michigan adjacent to hundreds of acres of state forest. A natures lover paradise.

Family room features a 50 inch TV with satellite TV and some board games. Living room features a fully functional wood burning fireplace, 50 inch TV with satellite, 2 recliners and couch. Walk out basement has game room (air hockey, table shuffleboard, ping pong, table for games/cards), couch, mini-fridge and 2 twin beds.

Sleeps 8: Linens provided. Loft bedroom has king bed, two main floor bedrooms each have queen bed, two twin beds in the basement.

House has two main floor bathrooms (one with tub/shower combination and the other with stand up shower).

Property features: Horseshoe pit, throwing block (for axes or knives - must bring your own), campfire pit (hot dog forks and campfire pie cookers on site), gas grill, canoe, 5 kayaks, 2 paddle boards and boat dock.

Avery Lake is 350 Acre All-Sport Lake with quiet hours from 7 pm to 10 am. Quiet hours are for fishing and observing nature. This lake has a mostly natural shoreline and beautifully clean water. Two-thirds of lake is surrounded by state forest land. Excellent fishing for Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, Sucker, Sunfish, Walleye, and Yellow Perch.

Canoe, kayak and life jackets are available. Please use at your own risk. Bring your own boat, jet-skis, etc. Boat launch 1/2 mile down the road at Avery Lake State Campground and park at our dock. Rental boats are available from Twin Lakes Marina in Lewiston and able to be delivered to Avery Lake for your use.

Avery Lake offers excellent swimming opportunities for families of all ages. There's a nice beach at the state campground 1/2 mile from the house.

ATV/Snowmobile riders paradise. There's miles and miles of trails throughout the state land. Many of the trails are groomed.

Excellent home base for day trips. Only one hour to Cross in the Woods Shrine in Indian River, 90 minutes to Mackinac City. Take the kids on a ferry ride to Mackinac Island or across the Mackinac Bridge to the UP of Michigan.

Great cabin, friendly owner, and fun stay
We had a fun time at the cabin with family. It was a bit cold and snowy to do too much outside, but we played board games, and shuffleboard and reconnected as a family. The owner's were very nice and made sure the driveway was free from snow. Thanks for letting us stay!

Relaxing
We had a wonderful stay! The well stocked home was perfectly clean and ready. The fish weren’t biting but the whole family had a fun time out on the lake. Campfires each night for s’mores or pie irons. We aren’t familiar with horses so we didn’t know the near by equestrian campground was going to be upset with our bike ride when we were off exploring! Oops! Won’t make that mistake again. Owners were great with communicating what we needed. Great place to stay!

Clean & cozy
House was very clean and cozy and the beds are super comfy. Great variety of kitchen wares and of great quality also, which isn’t common, so thank you for that! Of course the game room is always a hit. The location is sweet if you like being out in the boonies and want to unplug and go exploring.

The house was lovely. We stayed with another couple, there was plenty of space for the four of us. We loved the rustic decor, so cute!! We had a great time staying in this house, It was clean,and set up well to cook at the house. We enjoyed the kayaks, we took several relaxing strolls around the lake. The corn hole game was a nice bonus to get outside and enjoy the weather. We would definitely recommend this house.

Great Getaway Location
Had a wonderful time. Cabin is beautiful and was wonderfully decorated for Christmas. We were hoping to do more winter outdoors activities, but the weather did not cooperate. We did, however enjoy our time together playing games as a family and watching some Christmas movies. The cabin is definitely off the beaten path, but we loved the secluded little neighborhood. The cabin had wifi, but cell service in the area is very limited.

Family Fun!!!
The property was very nice..clean..well equipped with bath products & kitchen “stuff”!! Kids had fun fishing the channel..lots of fish for them & turtles all over! The only thing this property lacks is swimming..we found a nice beach about half hour away on clear lake! Thank you for sharing your place!!

Great vacation spot!
This property was immaculately clean and fully stocked with everything. Avery Lake is beautiful and quiet; we enjoyed going out on kayaks and paddle boards. Everything in the home was user friendly; the light switches were labeled and there were directions to all of the appliances and tv’s, etc. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of blankets, pillows and even box fans in each room. We enjoyed a couple of fires at the fire pit and the young adults enjoyed playing ping pong in the basement. This was a great place to gather and relax as a family; we already booked our return stay next year! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us!!!

Truly a nature lover’s paradise
The house was lovely - clean, inviting, & well appointed especially in the kitchen. Plenty of outside space - perfect porch, fire pit, & small dock. Garage access was nice with dogs as a staging and clean up spot before entering the house. Nice walking/hiking options both around the small neighborhood and the vast trail system that is steps from the door which allows endless outdoor exploration. Good location for day trips - ~30 mins to Gaylord & under 1 hr to Mackinaw City/Island & Alpena. Lastly, but critical, the primary bed was comfortable. There was even a massive dog bed that our pups took full advantage of. All in all, the space felt like home.

Cozy house in the woods
We enjoyed our stay at this house. It had everything you need for one week with four adult kids. The game room was perfect for rainy days (ping pong, shuffleboard, air hockey, darts, and many board games available). The kayaks provided were excellent and a short paddle to Avery Lake. The lake is very quiet and great to see loons, frogs, tons of birds, turtles, and great fishing. We caught several bass. The location is down an unpaved road, quite secluded but beautiful... we saw deer, turtles, raccoons, and a porcupine. The place was perfect for day trips to Gaylord, Alpena, Presque Island, and even Mackinac Island, all around 1 to 1 1/2 hours away. A grocery store was close by in Lewiston (family fare). We loved our stay.

Family Getaway
My wife and I vacationed this year with our youngest son who is home from college, our Daughter and her husband, and our 2 year old Granddaughter , we wanted a chance to get away with them before she has our 2nd Grandchild this August so the timing was perfect. We had an awesome time, we fished from the canoe as well as from the dock, went to some antique stores , were able to go to a very nice local beach that Michelle recommended to us as well. We did have on and off rain for most of the week so we were not able to have a fire outside but still had a wonderful time. We finished off with a movie and popcorn night the night before we left. Thank you again Michelle, we couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay! Finch / Bishop families.

Always amazing!
Well we had an amazing time once again at this incredible property. Everything from my house, to the amenities, to the lake and nature is absolutely perfect. We did some fishing…the girls caught a big Bass and a big Blue Gill….there was two families of Geese the girls named one Debra and Chuck but don’t remember the all the other names. Lol. We had a bonfire every nigh with s’mores, had a comfy, cozy bed to sleep in,…then coffee on the deck overlooking the water in the morning. So relaxing. Great night’s rest, and a great way to start the day! We didn’t want to leave. No need to bring extras…everything you’ll need is there. The game room in the basement was perfect for the kids…they’re own little nook. Lots of games too. We did some cooking and didn’t have to bring a thing…it was all there. Michelle is an amazing host who makes everything as smooth as possible, and will get with you in a heartbeat if you have a question or need help with something. This property is surrounded by state land so there’s lots of things to do outside and also not far from Lewiston or Atlanta either direction if you need to run into town. Overall, this was our second stay, and it felt like home when we walked in. We will be going back next year!

Clean and well-appointed, but no privacy
The property was clean, well appointed, and nicely laid out for our group. The second living room was the perfect place to have the early-rising children sit and watch tv while allowing others to sleep. It was obvious that the owners care about their guests' experience. My only complaint with the rental was the privacy. Since vrbo can't list the addresses prior to booking, you rely on the accuracy of the online photos and other guests' reviews. Upon pulling up, I was immediately disappointed in the lack of privacy. Standing on the deck you can see 10 other houses, and directly into the next door neighbor's living room. Neighbors were walking across the lawn to talk to each other. We spent the bulk of the time trail riding (access to trails was excellent) so this was ok because we weren't around all that much, but when we were, we opted to mostly stay indoors for this reason. I will say that the next door neighbor was friendly. I just wish the listing more accurately reflected the home's position relative to other homes, as we would not have booked it if it did and we wont book it again for this reason. I will also add for those looking to ride the trails - the owner had their pontoon on a trailer in the driveway, so between the two trucks with trailers and 2 side-by-sides we brought up, the driveway was packed full. There was access to the garage, which was a big bonus for when it rained. It's a great house and the owner's obviously care, just be aware of the above

Easy 5 stars!
I have stayed in many VRBOs over the years and this home is the nicest appointed I have ever stayed at. It had all the little things that most VRBO renters don't think of or don't bother with that make a big difference in comfort and convenience. Great for families for a nice up north stay.
