    Such a beautiful location. Right on Thayer Lake. The cabin was beautiful and looked like it had completely been remodeled inside. Many extra amenities and the sheets were so soft! We would definitely return if we are ever in the area again.

    Quiet, cozy and clean. We spent 5 days and enjoyed every day. The lake was beautiful and it was so much fun using the kayaks. We made a fire one night, wood was available for purchase at the going area rate. Marshmallow roasting sticks were provided.

    The cabin location was excellent, with beautiful views/access to Thayer Lake and very close access to Alden and Torch Lake. The only negative is that the cabin was quite small for a family of four to share and lacked space for all our stuff. It's nicely updated but could use a new front door that might go a long way towards keeping the bugs out better. (I get that staying at a lake comes with bugs!)

    We had a great time at the cabin. It was clean and well stocked. The lake was quiet and kids enjoyed swimming and fishing. Great location close to town. We used fire pits for night time s’mores. Shared water access worked good for us and we enjoyed the kayaks and dock on property. Communicate with host was prompt and helpful. Hope to come back again!

    The cottage was perfect for our get away. It was windy and cold so we did a shopping tour of the towns around the lakes and wine tasting. We did a little kayaking. Great Lake for that. Had a little bon fire. This is great place to stay.

    My son and his girlfriend wanted to get away for a weekend and they asked me to plan a trip. Although I was born and raised in Michigan, I hadn't spent much time in this area of Michigan, After much searching, I found this cabin that seemed to meet our needs. The weekend we chose happened to be an unusually chilly and windy weekend and we are glad this cabin had heat (not advertised on VRBO). There are 4 cabins that are situated right on Thayer Lake. The area does have a large number of residences, but the cabins still felt isolated. The cabins are located between Alden and Bellaire so access to stores and restaurants was easy. The cabin itself was cozy with everything we needed for a weekend. It was very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. The cabins seemed fairly new or recently remodeled. The size of the cabin was perfect for 4 adults. Although we didn't use them, there were a number of row boats and kayaks that seemed to be available for guests. We saw deer in the mornings and evenings. The host did supply a folder with the wifi password as well as recommendations for activities and restaurants. Each cabin had a firepit available. We never interacted with the host, but I believe that we did see and host and waved as we drove into the cabin. The only constructive feedback I would provide is that if I would have stayed here longer than a weekend, I would have liked a little more cookware to be able to make meals in the cabin.
