Relaxing and Beautiful

Me and my family stayed for five days four nights and it was beautiful. The weather wasn’t the best, but we still enjoyed our time. The small town around the lake was absolutely amazing. The neighbors were Friendly. We did some fishing and swimming right up the Backyard. We had a few fires at night or some marshmallows. It’s not a far drive from East Tawas Where we went swimming in Lake Huron, which was absolutely breathtaking. it was so great me and my family will be returning next year

Stayed during the week and was very peaceful, It seems it would be busier in the weekend. Fishing was not so great, but was a quick trip to Ausable dam for good fishing. Hosts are excellent, very responsive. Beautiful view of the lake.

Girls weekend

This was the first time us ladies rented a house. We loved it. We were on the waterfront but couldn’t get into the water. Steps are needed. And maybe a fire pit up on top of the hill. Our group of seniors had canes, hip problems. So going up and down the hill slowed our activities. But all in all we had a great weekend. Thank you
