Escape to the Holiday House. Serenity of Sunsets, Lakeside boat dock included.

The sunset on the first evening I arrive for my stay was totally amazing. The orange and red glow from the sun reflecting off the lake setting behind the trees was mesmerizing, and it set the tone for a very relaxed enjoyable week. Local antique shops, thrift stores, gift shops, restaurants, and grocery stores had everything one could ask for and the larger cities of Gaylord and Alpena were so close by. The host and hostess even knocked on my door one evening and took me for a pontoon boat ride around the lake. It was beautiful and wonderful. They were so gracious. I look forward to my next trip back up there.

Stunning location on east twin lake. Peaceful, cozy, and clean. I loved it so much that it was hard to leave! Marilyn and Jim were wonderful hosts. They had info on local events and had kayaks, bikes, and lounge chairs on their lake front beach for use to use. I look forward to coming back next summer!!!

The cabin was absolutely stunning. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. I was here for 20 days for work and I couldn’t wait to get back to the cabin to watch the sunset over the lake just footsteps away. The owners were so friendly and welcoming to the point that they offered me an extra night at no charge. I’m definitely coming back here every time I visit Lewiston MI

This property is a quaint cabin right on the lake. It still has that cabin feel, but the look inside is more refined with furnishings, carpet, heat, and A/C, but it is still a small cabin. The beach is steps away, and it is a great area to watch the sunsets or look up at the beautiful stars. Other than that, it was far too cold for us to utilize the beach. This is not a luxury hotel, and if you are looking for luxury, then you are in the wrong place. It is a cabin in a small town, in the middle of the woods, with birds, and critters, bugs, and a lake. The cabin was clean, and they provided disinfecting wipes, and hand sanitizer. In no way, did we ever feel unsafe or worried about Covid in the house. Due to unforeseen issues, we arrived at the cabin far later than planned. We did not want to appear rude and wake up the neighbors (which I am sure we did), but the owners were very gracious and understanding. The sky was fabulous that night and we were grateful for the peace and tranquility it offered. They have a total of three cabins, with this one right on the lake. The entrance to the lane is difficult to find in the dark, so I suggest you try to get there sometime before dark. Look for the sign that says Holiday House, and the orange ribbons. The parking is across from the fire pit and was more than adequate for our large SUV and boat. One of the owners stayed in his cabin throughout our stay, but I do not believe this is a usual occurrence. He was kind and a gracious host. If we needed anything, he was more than happy to help. We tied our boat up to their pier and enjoyed several days of fishing and relaxation on the lake. Is this cabin perfect? No, but we didn’t rent this place for its perfection, we rented it for the view, the lake, the sunsets, stars, and the peace. If you are looking to work from home in this cabin, I would suggest bringing your own WiFi. They have internet and TV, but it sometimes glitches and that was okay. There is not cable, but they provide enough options on the smart TV to be comfortable. The bathroom is small, but it had everything we needed. The bedroom is tiny with a full bed, but who’s going to spend all their time in the bedroom? The bed was way too firm for me, but I just layered blankets on top.We really enjoyed our stay, and we would like to thank Marilyn, Roe, and Jim for opening their home to us and allowing us to use their pier. We had a great time!! This was a little oasis!!
