Cabin

Cute cabin and clean. Awesome hot tub. One of the nicer hot tubs. Liked how they stocked the house with essentials if needed. Nice area. Only 2 complaints is the air conditioner. We all had to leave our doors open to get air but was not efficient enough. We woke each other up when we got up to go to bathroom . Did not sleep well thru week due to mugginess and hot. No air flow. Also first bedroom's bed , my oldest slept here was noisy and uncomfortable. My youngest was supposed to sleep with him but he chose to sleep on couch instead.

Perfect location. Not too far away from all my favorite places in Upper Northern Michigan. We spent time in Gaylord, Petoskey, and spent a day boating on Lake Charlevoix. Lake Arrowhead is a great association and we loved the pool and park. The owner Dorene was very nice and accommodating. I would definitely stay at one of her rental properties again.

Pretty busy road for a resort cottage.

When you're in the hot cub, you are 12 ft from the road that leads to boat launch. There's a 25 mile an hour speed limit that apparently isn't followed by anybody. The dust kicked up from passerby covers the hot tub, the deck, the table, your car, etc. There are an awful lot of rules for the people staying here. You have to clean your own bedding and your own dishes. Which leaves me to wonder what the cleaning crew cleans. They were cob webs in every room of the house, and spiders in half of the corners, including in the bathtub. The dirt under the sofa in the living room was crazy deep. Lastly, the hot tub had sand and pine needles in it. If it weren't for the things mentioned above, this would be a great place to stay.
