Perfect escape from city life
This was the perfect location for everything we wanted to do while up north. Made day trips to Oceqouc Falls, Mackinaw City and Seagull Point Park. The two teenage boys loved cruising around in the kayaks, even caught a large mouth bass. The house was exactly as listed, and Tammy was great to communicate with. We did have some rain so unfortunately no campfire this time, but I’m sure there will be a next time. Would definitely stay here again, and will also recommend it to family and friends as well.

Lovely, quiet area for a peaceful stay. The home was everything the listing stated. Beds were comfortable, linens plentiful, and the home was spotless. The lack of wi-fi was more than we bargained for, but that’s our own lack of imagination, I suppose. We would love to return to this gem of a property.

Peaceful house
The house and property was very clean & peaceful. We explored the area most of the daytime hours and sat by the fire at night. It's within 30 minutes of several beautiful beaches, light houses and waterfall. The kids also enjoyed fishing and kayaking in the river.

Super clean cabin
We rented the cabin for a fishing weekend with friends. The cabin very well stocked and super clean. The fire pit was great and having firewood included was an added bonus. We took the kayaks out on the lake. Great bass fishing for smallmouth and largemouth. We really enjoyed the privacy with this cabin. There are neighbors, but you're very secluded. A nice wooded setting on the water. Definitely would stay here again.

So peaceful
It was so quiet and peaceful. Loved sitting out by the river A couple of our group used the kayaks and enjoyed that. It was so close to our weekend venue. It was ideal. Very clean and neat. We enjoyed a nice campfire and playing games in the yard. Thanks for allowing us to use your beautiful cottage.

The cottage was lovely. Our girls had a wonderful time playing in the woods, on the swing looking at the river and making s’mores by the campfire. Perfect little getaway. We can’t wait to come back.

Thumbs Up
Unfortunately, I was not able to attend our time at the cottage, but my wife and two children were. Tammy was very attentive, and everything went smoothly. This is especially important because of the area. Cell phone reception is spotty, and sometimes the phone even shows that you’re roaming from Ontario. So, having someone like Tammy who was super attentive and even made a point of greeting my wife and children was especially nice. Tom

Nice house, very clean. Enjoyed the time around the firepit, they even provided wood. Grill, deck area was nice. Nice set up on a private area down by the river. Make sure to bring your own entertainment you can't even get local tv stations on the tv. Gladly enjoyed having no cell service no phone calls or internet.

Great weekend away with my fiancee!
I booked a surprise weekend for my fiancee and I. Tammy was great and gave us lots of insight on the area. Very clean place and our dog loved running around outside. We kayaked down the river out to the lake, very beautiful this time of year. Super easy check-in and check-out! Will definitely come again....

Have stayed here before love the place....great fishing in sunken lake caught many huge smallies and perch. They are very accommodating and quickly responded when communicating . Was very patient with me when I was having trouble with email/checkin..all my bad I'm not tech savvy so appreciated that a lot. Only complaint theres only 1 queen bed rest were twin and water area is mucky so wear water shoes for sure but not really a big problem and they informed me they were going to try to do something about the area. Def. Would recommend them to friends

Posen Vacation
Had a great time at the Posen cottage. Beautiful and secluded, there are a couple nearby properties but you hardly notice them through the trees. The house itself was exactly as advertised and Tammy was very nice and accommodating. The nearby Sunken Lake is beautiful and not overly crowded at all. I imagine fishing in the spring while the water is up is probably the best but even in late august we caught some smallmouth and pike in the stream and lake. Overall great time!

Quiet and peaceful, this property sits on a small river with very quiet surroundings.
We stargazed every night away from the city light we are used to. We listened to the sounds of nature instead of constant traffic noise. The cottage was pristine clean and the host is welcoming and is a treasure of info of the surrounding highlights and must sees. We ventured out on the lake in the kayaks provided by our host, biked on some awesome trails, enjoyed the swing by the river, saw bald eagles, hummingbirds, cranes and other birds we have never seen before. Such a peaceful and relaxing setting to unwind and explore Lake Huron, Posen, Rogers City, and Alpena. We will definitely come back again.
