Internet: Yes. Internet can be very spotty. Not ideal for streaming video or meetings. Everyone by now has likely been enjoying the beauty of wireless technology. But, sometimes getting a break from WiFi can be a blessing too. Between the texts and emails and notifications to your watch, there are moments of rest and opportunities to reset and connect with others in-real-life. We hope you do not get aggravated at the lack of WiFi while staying here, but that you enjoy the WiFiLess and relaxing lifestyle at this lakeside cottage. Watch a breath-taking sunset. Notice that it's often prettier after the sunset as the sky turns red or orange on the silvery clouds. Maybe capture it with a photo. You might just need to post it after you get home. We have tried every Internet provider available in the area, including Starlink. And as much as we've tried, nothing comes close to what renters are generally accustomed to. Just like city water and sewer, wired internet just isn't available in the area yet.

Couldn't stay to enjoy
This cute little cabin was awesome...right on the water and we had big plans that weekend. Unfortunately, I had to DJ a last minute wedding in Port Huron and we couldn't stay. We literally only spent the night sleeping there and that was it. Would love to come up & try again sometime. :-)

Loved our stay
We met our son from CMU here for a 4 day stay. We really enjoyed fishing and bonfires. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The lake was surprisingly quiet and we caught pike, bass, and bluegill right from the dock. Our youngest son loved playing in the sandy beach. We’ll definitely be back.
