New Era, Michigan
The resort retreat of a lifetime awaits at this 3-bedroom, 2-bath Rothbury vacation rental! Your rustic cabin is nestled in the heart of the Double JJ Resort, where action and adventure are just around the corner. When you aren’t exploring the indoor waterpark, tubing hill, or rodeo, head out to beaches and sand dunes in the area! The cabin invites 10 guests to cozy up on the front porch, beside the fireplace, or in the jacuzzi tub, before gearing up for another exciting day on the ranch! Heads up, we are a privately owned cabin within the resort running on a community well, so there is an odor. Have no fear! We upkeep and treat with water softener, but it is something that we aren’t able to completely eradicate.
The stay started with a problem in getting in, as the last occupants did not return the key and the lock box was empty. But the owners were great in getting us help and a key (took an hour or so as the cabin is slightly rural).and everything else was great after that. It's slightly rural location is great for a natural setting, but it's close to several towns, the beaches of Lake Michigan, and the resort amenities. The cabin is roomy with 2 bedrooms and a large loft, 2 bathrooms, plus a nicely equipped kitchen/living room areas.
The cabin was absolutely perfect for our family. The spacious loft gave out kids their own space they could call their own for the week. All the pictures represented the cabin to a T. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to cook meals. Bathrooms were clean and organized with plenty of towels. Do take note that the water is supplied from a well, and has a sulfur type odor too it. I've experienced it with my trips to cabins before, and it could be a shock to an unexpected guest. The only reason that I gave the neighborhood a 4 rating, was that most of the resort was closed due to Covid restrictions still, and staff was limited. Also, tickets to the outdoor water park do not come with cabins not booked thru the resort. We had several incidences with booking issues thru the resort, but that has nothing to do with this amazing cabin. Everything was wonderful with the cabin and the site. Thanks again for letting our family stay in your cozy cabin in the woods!
This cabin is perfect for people that enjoy GLAMPING!!! Hubby lives to camp and I enjoy the comfort of a bed and toilet so this was a perfect compromise. Beautiful cabin in a great location on the property just near a playground and pool with water slide! The place was very clean, and stocked with everything we needed. The host was awesome when we had a question and messaged right back. This. Avon has plenty of room for a family to enjoy. My kids enjoyed the loft area that had 4 beds and a tv and couch! My husband and I had our own room with a king bed and soaking tub. The other bedroom had a double bed. The air conditioner did seem on the fritz while we were there though. We kept it at 60 as instructed by the host but it stopped working on the second day and we just turned it off and opened the windows. My husband noticed ice on the AC unit which is when we just shut it off and avoided using it at that point. Another thing to note that people should be aware of: the water is well water and has a strong sulfur smell so if your not used to that it may gross you out! We knew in advance and it didn’t bother us at all. The listing says it has WiFi and gave us a password but we didn’t see it show up on any available networks and just didn’t need it anyways because there was soooo much to do. We enjoyed a horse back riding adventure booked through the ranch (call in advance they book fast), and we went to MacWoods sand dune rides on silver lake about 15 minutes away! It was awesome and fun family activity. We enjoyed the outdoor pool, water slide, bonfires just outside our cabin, and even took a trip over to Lewis Adventure Zoo just down the road which was a blast for my kids ! The indoor water slide park is NOT ncluded in cabin rental (only outdoor pool) so be prepared for the thAt added expense which is 30.00 per person to enter. We skipped that and did many other things such as riding a mechanical bull, getting ice cream every night, and playing outdoor Ken games near the general store. The couch in the cabin needs to be replaced badly (prepare to sit on a large piece of hard wood) And is so uncomfortable to sit on but we weren’t in the cabin much and didn’t mind . Overall this place was perfect for our needs and fun for my family and kids at a very affordable price. We would stay again for sure.
Had a great little trip. Property is peaceful in the woods. Loved the nearby horses and park we could walk to. Wished some of the facilities were open but its Covid. Owner was super friendly and went out of her way to return a blanket my son left.
It was ok but the smell of the water was too much for me... it smelled like sewage ...
Overall the cabin was good. When we arrived there were cigar wrappers on the porch and the cabin definitely had been smoked in previously and smelled like smoke mixed with air freshener. A few other random things like the blankets shoved in a heap in the closets and old coffee in the coffee pot felt a little uncared for. If the cleaning fee wasn’t so much money it probably wouldn’t matter as much but that’s a lot of cash for each guest to not have the place feeling fresh on arrival. Other than that the cabin was a good set up and had everything our family needed for the weekend. Hopefully those small things were just a mishap. We would like to return! Thank you.
Owner was very accommodating . A great little get a get a way for family and friends .
I love the cabin we stayed in it was nice and clean.
We did a girls trip for the weekend and we had a great time! Easy to book and was very clean. Would definitely stay again!
Perfect spot to enjoy the Fall colors and escape some of the craziness from 2020/ Covid. Charming cabin and nice set up. Only downside about area, all the damn Trump signs .
