Cabin on the river
The cabin is quaint and small but had efficient use of the space. I should have asked that the beds be made up because I did want to use the property’s linens. We had to put the linens on the beds. The home had a lot of dead insects/flys in the tub/sink and floors that we had to clean up. The driveway wasn’t shoveled but the snow was only a few inches deep. The lockbox was hard to put back. The cabin was 19miles to Caberfae where we skied. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the dining room table and well stocked kitchen with salt and pepper. We had paper towel and quite a bit of toilet paper in stock. The cabin was reasonably priced for the holiday week.

Great little cabin
Came here to do some ice fishing. Perfect little cabin for us, has all you need for such a trip. Access to the main lake just a few houses down the road, with the canal out back (which I'm sure is awesome in the summer).

Nice location but not very clean
Location, ease of check in and communication was great. Guests should be aware that you do not pay a cleaning fee and so this is left to be done by prior guests. Items from the cleaning list were cleaned by prior guests, but any other surfaces not on the list were not clean-the place had not been dusted in likely months or corners vacuumed which makes the place seem much more dingy then advertised. Just adjust expectations accordingly for a rustic cabin.

Not a clean home, but a responsive host
Pros: - Host was responsive and quick - Big movie selection of old films to watch at night Cons: - Parts of the home were clean, others not. Yellow stains all over bed comforter and pillows, other people’s hair on pillows and couch, nightstands had not been cleaned, house smells strongly of mildew - You and your belongings will smell like mildew once you get home - No suggestions of things to do in the area

Ok Stay
House was nice, however, dont expect closets or anyplace to store your clothes except your suitcase on the floor. They need to hire a cleaning service to clean after previous renters leave. We found dirty frying pan in oven and food left in freezer. Bathroom floor needed swept and toilet was not clean. We were expected to clean house unless you paid cleaning fee when we left and I am sure it was cleaner than when we got there. Dont expect to be able to swim at this location because nothing was trimmed around channel. Had to fight weeds to put our kayaks in the water. Not really worth the price being charged.

It worked
The house was clean, however I wasn’t expecting such a list of chores to be completed before I left. I don’t have a problem picking up and leaving the house clean, but it’s a little much to ask to clean shower, mop the floors and make the beds.

Lazt Acorn Lake House
The cottage was comfortable and met our needs. The fishing was poor r/t the excessive wind and white caps on the water. This was very unusual for this time of year, according to a long time resident. We still enjoyed fishing off the dock catching bluegills. I would recommend staying at the cottage, but not having a TV can make for a long night. One thing that could be improved upon is the correct address and a more accurate description of which canal the cottage is on. The cottage is on Mitchel Lake and not Cadillac Lake; there is a canal between the two lakes.

Good location, bad smell.
Location and size of cabin was as expected. Movie wall was fun. Bunk beds were very good. Easy check in. But, the smell. The place smells so musty and moldy. The bathroom shower had lots of black mold. The shower spray is not strong enough to really deep clean and it shows. The appliances felt grimy and also lacking a deep clean. The second we came in I cleaned with the vacuum and sani wipes but it just felt dirty. I hesitated to write this review because I have a feeling it won’t be well received, after reading through other less than positive reviews. But we ended up leaving a day early to get out of there. I’d hate for another family to feel this way. I can see this cabin being good for a couple of guys fishing but not for a family looking for a clean cozy stay.
