Our family definitely enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is nicely tucked into large pine trees, overlooking a clear, beautiful lake. The house has nice separation between sleeping quarters. There were plenty of beds, which were all comfortable. The primary family room has a great cozy, northern feel with great views of the lake. The proximity to town was great, far enough away to have peace and quiet but close enough to drive multiple times a day. The detail and amenities provided by the hosting family were top notch. Thanks!
The listing pictures don’t make any justice in how cozy and well maintain the cabin is. We are a family of 10 adults and it was able to accommodate all and even we had extra beds. The lake beautiful cristal clear water and all the water toys gave us a wonderful family time. Fire pit and outdoor games as well. Very nice stay. I will come back to this cabin for sure.
Our family had an amazing stay at Happy Lakeside Cabin. The house was stocked with everything we would have at home and very clean. There were guides and suggestions on what to do in the area which came in handy on days we did want to go out. Our family all slept comfortably and didn't want for anything. We spent most of our time outside enjoying the weather, water and lake amenities. It was just wonderful and Christie the owner was very easy to reach and responded quickly to our questions. We couldn't have asked for better arrangements, we loved being away from the hustle and bustle. My family is already asking when we will be able to go back. Direct review from my 7-year-old after walking into the house and checking everything out I love it here!
My family and I booked this property to take advantage of all that northern Michigan has to offer in the winter. We were able to get out and enjoy the snow on beautiful hiking trails as well as hit the local ski hill at Caberfae which is only 20 minutes away. It was great to have my daughter enjoying being out in nature and not on her phone. Christie goes above and beyond to make your stay as welcoming as possible. She has great suggestions for local activities in Cadillac as well as many things to do within the house including scavenger hunts that kids of all ages, adults included, can enjoy! Cannot recommend this place enough and look forward to returning in the future for all the seasons!
My family loved this quiet up north Michigan get away for the Thanksgiving weekend. The kids (age ranging from 8 to 13) loved the clubhouse (above the garage) where they could hang out away from the adults and watch movies and play video games. The adults loved the quaint location, beautiful view of the lake, and the ability to hike around the lake and through the nearby campground. The adults and kids enjoyed making a bonfire in the backyard, it wasn't too cold yet, and we were able to enjoy the sunset over the lake. The snow wasn't quite here yet, but we know this location is near Caberfae Ski Resort, and there are many options for sledding and snowmobiling trails accessible nearby. Downtown Cadillac has some cute restaurants and bars, and we were able to enjoy those as well. The house itself is very spacious, allowing plenty of room for 4 adults and 4 children! There is a room with 2 bunk beds for the kids which they loved. We didn't even have to use the pull out couches in the 2 family rooms, but know we know we can come with even more people if we want to. The house is immaculately clean and very cozy! There is a wood-burning stove that keeps the whole house nice and warm. This house does not leave you wanting for anything- it is fully stocked with kitchen and bathroom supplies, as well as games and movies galore, and it does also have wi-fi. Winter, fall, spring or summer, this house and location provides great outdoor fun! We will definitely be back!
