Sunset View on Lakeshore Drive

This 1,600 square foot home has a stunning view overlooking the Tittabawassee River. With three bedrooms (1 king & 2 queen beds) and a set of bunk beds in the sunroom, this property will sleep eight. (Eight is the maximum number of people we allow.) There is a large dining room with cozy gas log fireplace to enjoy family meals together. Complimentary coffee bar provided. The finished garage/game room gives you even more room to spread out and enjoy your stay. The large, deep lot has plenty of room for off-street parking. The home has a Generac generator in case of emergencies.
Typically, this body of water is known as Smallwood Lake. Due to severe flooding in May 2020, the dam creating the lake had to be lowered for repairs. We now just have the natural flow of the Tittabawassee River. The pictures shown are of the current water level with a bit of fluctuation in spring/summer. Unfortunately, due to the water level, it's not ideal for swimming and there isn't a way to launch a boat.
Outside you can enjoy the sunset from the gazebo or by sitting around the firepit. We have firewood available onsite for a donation.
Centrally located in Gladwin County in the “Wooden Shoe” area located near M-61 & M-30. Only 16 miles from I-75 and 21 miles from US-127. Close proximity to five local wedding venues.

Family Trip
My dad's family is from the area. He wanted to visit with my siblings and I to show us all the family landmarks and places from some of his adventures "back in the day". This house was the perfect location (close to everything we needed to see and just down the street from some relatives). The house was stocked with everything we potentially needed, and the views were so pretty. Would stay again if back in the area.

Just What We Needed!
We are four retired folk, siblings & spouses. 2 dogs. The accommodations were excellent! Comfy beds, well stocked kitchen, beautiful views! The water is softened, we just brought spring water for drinking & coffee & dogs. The house was very clean, tastefully decorated with many spots for being together. We built jigsaw puzzles in the sunroom, ate delicious (homemade) meals in the dining room, chatted in the living room. We even had a fire in the fire ring outside on our last evening. We selected this property because it is about halfway between us and allowed our fur babies. We will happily stay here again!

Clean, Cozy, and Serene
The property was super spacious, well laid out, and very clean. The backyard was great: excellent views of nature, beautiful gazebo, and nice fire pit. We had everything we needed, from grills to a TV w apps and bunk beds for the kiddos. We also fished in the lake and caught some big fish. We would absolutely stay here again! Looking forward to renting this place again.

Family getaway with many options
This place has it all. All the comforts of home and then some. We were looking for a family getaway for a large family with outdoor options. Rear yard is well maintained with a beautiful lake view and plenty of room for outdoor activities. Stairs to the lake for convenient access

Great location
I’m a hiker so this location was perfect. My friend and I drove about 3-5 miles down the road until we found a parking spot and took off into the Au Sable forest and hiked for hours with our dogs. The home is cozy with great views and all of the basics for a great stay. Highly recommend.

Beautiful and relaxing
The property was big enough to spread out and enjoy the view from multiple rooms. So relaxing sitting and taking in the view of the water while drinking our coffee. The birds, ducks and geese are entertaining as well. The property was well maintained and clean. We will return in the future!

This was a lovely cabin for a weekend getaway. The weather wasn't particularly favorable, but the view was still beautiful and the inside of the cabin was very cozy.

Family Wedding Weekend
We booked to attend a wedding at Crooked River and this house served the 8 adults well. There were plenty of linens, comfortable beds and all the kitchen items we needed. We ate all our meals here as you are outside of Gladwin in a lakeside setting. We enjoyed the campfire ring and the owners made firewood available for you to use. They also had a complimentary coffee bar, which was a nice touch. We had beautiful weather and the lake was quiet (except for the nightly honking geese :), due to it being off-season. The only thing that could be an issue for some, is the bathrooms are very small, especially the one off the master bedroom. It was a very pleasant stay.

Cousins Reunion
Our stay was to visit family for the weekend. Home is great for large gatherings but lake is not accessible. Understand dam broke & most of the lake has drained away. Could watch ducks, geese & cranes but could not get into water. Easy access to highways & great little family restaurant just around corner.

Nice Stay
The house was really nice and clean. We enjoyed the area, it was quiet at night and the neighbors either weren't there or stayed inside. Other than the small bathroom being really small, it was nice stay. Dianna was a super host! She replied promptly to my text. I left something behind and she mailed it back to me the next day! Things like that don't usually happen to me so I was very grateful

Peaceful and Relaxing
We had a wonderful time at this property. The house was equipped with everything we needed and was very clean and inviting. We loved watching the wildlife -- flocks of geese coming in at dusk, the baby ducks, cranes and just this morning two beautiful swans with their baby swan. So peaceful and relaxing - just what we needed. Thank you for sharing your property, we look forward to returning!
