Overall a great stay in a beautiful home.
Nonstick cookware was scratched up. Lots of cooking utensils provided. Corn kernals found in one bed, pinecones found in another. Plenty of towels provided, but could use more wash cloths. Night stand in master bedroom unstable. Liggts are dim, could use more/brighter lighting. Directions to home via Google Maps are about 1/2 mile off. Overall a beautiful home. Host very responsive to messages.

Family Getaway
We were a group of 12 (10 adults and two kids under 3) and fit comfortably at the property. Everything was as advertised in the property description except for the water access since the stars down to river were roped off. We'd stay again!

Very relaxing around the fire pit, clean house, unfortunately the pool table needs work and the staircase down to the creek was very scary, would not want children playing on that staircase

Good for large group
The property is large and equipped ok however the cleanliness was not great. We found a joint and numerous other pieces of trash around the basement rec room. The carpeting is in serious need of cleaning. It did not seem to have even been vacuumed. The property was advertised as being accessible to the river but the stairs leading there were closed off with caution tape, a fact that should have been communicated to us ahead of time. The basement was freezing but the upstairs was very warm making it hard to sleep. The layout is a little difficult for a large group for taking showers as one of the 2 full baths is ensuite in the primary bedroom on the main floor so it was only usable to the couple staying in that bedroom. There needs to be another shower in the basement, as it only has a 1/2 bath but has 3 of the beds down there. There was no guest book for recommendations and advice. The property worked well as far as sleeping arrangements for a large group for a local wedding. The hot tub was nice but found joints laying around it as well. The "smoking room" needs to have all the cushions cleaned. Do not use Google maps to find the property, street numbers are not in numerical order and it will take you the wrong way on the road. The private drive is difficult to see in the dark.

Perfect Wedding Weekend!
We stayed here for our intimate wedding with just siblings & parents. It was absolutely gorgeous & worked perfectly for a venue. The property manager was very quick to respond to questions and the house was extremely clean! The hot tub was perfect! The stairs to the river are currently broken so they are taped off but we didn’t mind.

Gorgeous Log Cabin
The property is absolutely beautiful. 5 stars for sure. We had 18 men here for an ice fishing event nearby. There is a lot of space and activities for the group in the house. My only advice for other large groups like mine would be to carpool. We had a lot of trucks and parking had to be carefully planned. The Host was awesome and communicated very fast to questions. Enjoy this cabin in the woods.

In Gladwin for our son’s destination wedding. Found the perfect home to host family and friends for a wedding weekend. Many memories made with lots of places to sit and visit from the large kitchen table dining area, to the enclosed porch, back deck and lower level for kids to hang out….simply fantastic!

Home was roomie enough to sleep 4 family's with kids ranging 4 to19 years old. We all had fun playing pool, pin pong, karaoke, and playing in river. (Steps were kind of sketchy, but was told they are supposed to be repaired in August.) The guys fished a local lake and caught some nice bass and blue gill. Kenan answered any questions in a timely fashioned.

Would avoid
Place itself was nice and in a nice area, got to the house and there was garbage stacked in the garage, open alcohol containers around the property, and a green hot tub. Aside from the dirty house i was sent a screen shot of a internet speed of about 500mb, me and my friends are gamers and were happy about it. I got there and it was 5mb without the ability to even stream netflix. He gave me a 1 night refund my troubles, id avoid the property.

Nice Log Home
We had 15 adults and 2 littles. The bunk beds are not really built for adults, so we had to figure out sleeping. The hot tub was enjoyed by many, and the game room area was filled with laughter during big thunderstorms. We did not find the chickens or ducks, and the chiminea and steps down to the river are gone, but overall we enjoyed our stay. Also, we found Kenan is very responsive!

Needs proper cleaning and care...
Although the house was beautiful the care for it is slacking.The hot tub was nasty and could not use it for my leisure. They tried telling me housekeeping cleaned it. The filter was all gross and unchanged. The ovens and grill were nasty unable to use. They need a good house cleaning company. The advertise chickens. There are no chickens.

The property was nice. There were a few things that were run down. Screens on windows needed to be fixed, the hot tub not usable because of lack of maintenance, stairs to the river were broke, you could not make it to the river. We had 17 people, and the place was large enough so we did not feel cramped. Beautiful inside if you like the cabin feel.
