Turtle Cove | East Twin Lake Canal Home

  • Summary:

    Turtle Cove is a dog-friendly canal home with easy access to East Twin Lake in Lewiston, Michigan. Paddle from the canal to the lake with two provided kayaks, or bring your own boat or pontoon and tie up at the dock. A large deck overlooks the canal, while a fenced area gives your dog room outside. An outdoor grill, firepit with upgraded Adirondack chairs, Starlink internet, and air conditioning make this a comfortable Northern Michigan retreat.

Amazing stay at Turtle Cove

We had a great week at Turtle Cove. The home was very clean and had everything we needed. The back deck was a great space for meals and our dogs loved the fenced in area of the back yard. We rented a pontoon for the week from Twin Lakes Marina - this made the week even better. The internet and TV were spotty... but we figured that going into it based on previous reviews. Overall, an amazing stay, and we are already planning our return next year!

Great time and a great Vrbo host.

We had a fantastic time at your property. It was very clean and organized. The hosts were very thoughtful in their furnishing of the property. Every product down to a tooth brush was provided for our stay. Ac work fantastic and they even had some nice welcome snacks and water. We would definitely book here again. The only negative that we experienced was the DSL internet. The provided tv was unusable due to how slow the internet is. So it is basically like having no tv or internet during our stay. Of course we reset the modem and the Roku tv but it didn’t help. It’s just the speed of DSL internet is too slow for today’s technology. Was not a deal breaker for us cause everything else was so fantastic.

Adorable place and extremely neat and clean. It has every amenity that we needed and then some. I highly recommend this property and it’s a great location, and walking distance to many bars and restaurants in downtown Lewiston. Also very close to a pubic park/beach.

Great stay in Lewiston

The house lived up to all expectations! It was clean and well appointed, with a well stocked kitchen and coffee/tea bar. Didn't get much usage of the deck given the winter weather, but it would be lovely in summer and the fenced yard was greatly appreciated. Couldn't be more convenient to downtown Lewiston and the surrounding amenities! The communication was prompt and thorough, and we knew they were only a quick message away if ever needed.

Wonderful Week

My family stayed at Turtle Cove 7/2/2021 - 7/10/2021. We had a fabulous week. The house was well stocked with everything that we needed for the entire stay. The wifi is very spotty, so I would recommend that you have a few shows/movies downloaded on your personal devise before you arrive if you have young children or teenagers that may need to be entertained. We hope to visit again in the future.

Lewiston 9-18 to 9-22

The house was just as described. Super clean and we had everything we needed. Manager was extremely helpful. The only thing we would change is access to regular TV and not just streaming channels. Signal is weak and it took SO long for anything to download, and then it kept freezing.

Perfect Getaway!

This was the absolute perfect destination! We were a group of three parents looking for some much needed time away from our little ones. The home had everything we needed, was incredibly clean and the outdoor space was gorgeous. I highly recommend. Bailey was also very responsive and allowed for a slightly early check-in which was greatly appreciated.
