This small northern Michigan lake town is a summer time paradise get away and all of the locals are a nice bunch that are very welcoming who for the most part all come from down state on weekends and holidays to enjoy family time on the water and a relaxing getaway. It is a very relaxed area with plenty of activities for all ages. The 850 acre lake has 3 islands and is large enough to where it is never crowded and is surrounded by nice cabins and great views.
There is no public transportation. The only way to actually get to the island property is by boat. We have different pontoon boats to rent at different prices or guests are welcome to bring their own boats to get to and from the island. Boat transportation is a must though as there are no roads or bridges to access the island with a car or by walking. We have a 2014 Misty Harbor 12 person pontoon boat that rents for $250 a night and a 2020 Misty Harbor that rents for $300 a night.
There is a $150 cleaning fee that all renting groups pay so the home is professionally cleaned before they arrive and after they check out. We provide all linens and they are freshly cleaned and folded in the closest and all beds are made prior to each guests arrival.
Guests are expected to behave as responsible adults with no wild and crazy parties. Of course the property is there to be enjoyed by all we just ask that it is respected as if it were your own. The cabin is ran on 32 solar panels so power needs to not be wasted however we do have a back up generator that is set up to turn on automatically if the battery bank is below a certain amount. If you have questions about what you can bring please ask and feel free to contact me at anytime.
Dishwasher & laundry must not be used at night since they do require a lot of power so we ask that only be used during the day.
We don’t allow any check in/out days or changeover days to be on a Saturday.
We have 3 different pontoon boats that are available between our two properties and for other people around the lake. We require a pontoon rental be booked for the duration of your stay even if you’re bringing a boat of your own. Ask about pricing as this will be an additional cost to the booking and must be figured out before a reservation can be accepted.
Must be 25+ to book.
When booking in July we do not give weekly discount for a week long rental.
