Stayed Aug 22, 2025One of our favorite places to stay over the years! The lake views are beautiful being at the end of the lake. Clear water, great cabin and deck. Host was very responsive and great to deal with! It's really out of the way from most larger cities (TC about 50 minutes away, Gaylord about 35 minutes). But, being in the middle of nowhere makes this a very quiet property. The worst part about the vacation that we had a cold-spell for a week where the high was in the low/mid-60s for the week we were there!

Stayed Jul 28, 2025My son’s jaw dropped in joy when we stepped out onto the beautiful deck and saw that view! It was just what we needed! A sweet, peaceful lake with ducks, great blue herons, and resident loons made kayaking our favorite activity. Thanks for having two kayaks for us to use! The water is so clear and having a sandy entry by the dock made playing frisbee with our dog in the water the best! And what a nice detail that you had a doggie “gate” to keep her safely on the deck. Loved a great big table for games and eating too. Thanks for the memories!!

Stayed Aug 3, 2024We really enjoyed sitting on the upper deck in the morning drinking our coffee and/or eating breakfast. Evening was great also having drinks and snacks when the lake was smooth as glass. There is quiet time (low speed) on the lake in the evening and morning. Watching the loons (thought they were ducks at first) was totally interesting. We had two Great White Herons trolling on the edge of the lake below the deck.I would include a pic but I only got a video of them taking off. Going to Mancellona for breakfast at The Iron Skillet (which we recommend) be aware that the nav system may put you on snowmobile trails. Was happy I had AWD with good ground clearance. Started using the satellite view to pick hard roads. Although Starvation Lake is one of the smaller lakes, we definitely enjoyed our week there.

Stayed Jul 26, 2024My family & I rented this house for my birthday weekend. It was absolutely perfect! The house is a cute little cottage on the lake. The kayaks were a HUGE hit! Definitely recommend this lovely home!

Stayed Jul 13, 2024We found the cabin very comfortable and the lake highly enjoyable. The kayaks were a nice bonus. Left behind a couple items, the communication with the host was quick and our items made it back to us. Thank you for a lovely stay and exceptional service!

Stayed Jul 3, 2024This place was perfect for myself my fiance and our dog. It had everything we needed to cook and the water was perfect for all of us to swim and hangout by the water.

Stayed Jun 27, 2024This was a great location to the ORV trails and conveniently very close to the local bar/restaurant. Place was clean and cozy with a great view of the lake. My only complaints are that the TV apps kept booting us out repeatedly (it rained most of our stay) and there were no life jackets/PFD for us to use the kayaks.
