The cabin was very cozy and relaxing and the beds were comfortable. The cabin was well stocked with toilet paper and clean towels and was very clean. The hot tub and tub worked great and the fire place was stocked with plenty of wood. The sound system wasn’t working because the internet was down but we had brought our own blue tooth speaker so our stay and small family wedding turned out very lovely. We were very thankful for the hosts making their place available. The hosts were very responsive and kind. They were open to leaving their Christmas decorations up longer and even allowed us to check in early.We look forward to celebrating our anniversary in the future if the Crown Jewel is available in the future. Thank God, wow it was such a lovely visit.We were very thankful.
My family and I stayed here for thanksgiving! The house is great and the perfect log cabin! We have 11 people and a couple of dogs and there was room and bedrooms for everyone which worked out perfectly!
The property is awesome and will be staying here again soon!
This was the perfect house for our family’s weekend get together. It had plenty of room and there was a lot of fun things to keep the kids busy. We really enjoyed our stay.
We had a great time. There was ample space for our large group and had everything we needed. The hot tub and game room were a huge hit with the teens and adults.
Stay was great as always. Nice and relaxing. I took one star off cleanliness because the sun room had a strong cigarette smell. Other than that everything was good.
As soon as we stepped in the home, we felt the warmth and cozy vibe of cabin living. We had enough room for 15 people. One of us was limited to first floor due to recent foot surgery , but was able to glide around the home with a knee scooter easily. Our host was immediately avail when we had questions. Dining table was used for large card games and other Xmas games. We stayed during freezing rain and snow storm but the weather didn’t interrupt our time together. Pros: windows, appliances, garage to home entryway, 3-car garage, hot tub. The property was great for walking and enjoying the winter weather and walking the 3 dogs! Some adults even used the sleds. What can be improved: one bedroom downstairs didn’t have privacy such as a door. Could add more seating/meeting space downstairs such as a small bar or card table & chairs. Another shower. Only because with 15 people, it took longer.
Had a great time and was very impressed with the cabin. Had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. It one of those "Same time, same place next year". Thanks for a worry free stay.
Beautiful home that was well decorated for the holiday season. Plenty of space for an extended family of 18. Cleanliness was 10/10. Driveway was plowed and salted which was a great peace of mind with the winter weather. Would highly recommend. Hours of fun and laughter to be had in the many spaces.
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!
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
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.
Everything excellent, if you want relax and stay far away from people good place to stay and spend time with family , a lot different games , but one little issue who loves Xbox games, controller doesn’t work , everything else perfect, thanks for our vacation!
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.
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.
We had a wonderful time, the house was clean and so beautiful if you're looking for a log cabin vibe to relax at, this is the house. It was a family getaway. And everyone enjoyed it, the grandparents the couples, and grandchildren all loved it
Such a beautiful house! Our family loves to cook and the kitchen has everything needed to do just that! We enjoyed canoeing and hiking nearby and did some R&R.
A lovely home with plenty of space and bathrooms for us all. It was in a nice wooded setting. We enjoyed the nature trails and walk down to the river. We wish we had been able to access the river directly behind the house as in the past.

Nice place but it’s not far away from main road and there are neighbors close to it. Also, the stairs shown in backyard are not accessible to river
