Peaceful retreat, close to orv trails .

🌱Peaceful, private , beautiful outdoor space. Start and finish the day with your cup of coffee, mocktail, or glass of wine on either the spacious back patio or covered front porch. While enjoying the peace of the pond. Clean indoor space with great views of the pond with its wildlife. Or take a walk down to beautiful clean, clear Starvation Lake, 5 min walk.
Blackout shades in each bedroom for a good nights sleep . For odds and ends, Starvation lake general store and gas station… 500 ft. Hideaway Bar and grill >.25 mi.

Excellent stay
We had a great time at this cabin and it was conveniently located right next to the orv trails. Gas station was right across the road and the bar right down the road has excellent food. Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent House and Stay
Very nice, clean and newer property. The inside was stellar. There were 2 king beds which is a bonus! We came for a snowmobile weekend and had easy access to the trials, a gas station/convenience store and a restaurant bar all within walking distance. It was perfect for our family of 4. The host was also very quickly responsive and knowledgeable about the area.

Excellent Snowmobile Trip
This was our second time staying in this house, and we already have it on our list as a possibility for next year! House is clean and well-equipped, the location is excellent for snowmobiling, and the host is helpful and communicative! Beautiful scenery and very conveniently located! For snowmobiling and general needs, it’s so convenient that it’s right across the street from a small gas and general store, but the house is set far enough back from the road that it’s not at all disruptive to be so close. Highly recommended l!

Absolutely Wonderful!
We had an absolutely wonderful time during our stay at this property. There were 3 couples, and we had plenty of room to relax, comfortable beds, bathrooms spacious...everything was perfect. The property is as described, and the view out to the little lake is just wonderfully relaxing. The place is well decorated, and we'll stocked. Store is walking distance away, and the utv trails in the area are great. 30 minute drive to Boyne for the Skybridge was fun. Great restaurants in Bellaire. We ate at the bar just down the road twice and had great pizza and burgers. I hope we get to return next year as this was an exceptional stay.

Home away from home!
Home was very nice and updated. The outdoor area was better than the pictures with a lovely view of nature and plenty of seating. We chose this home as it was close to our daughter’s wedding venue (A Yak or 2 Ranch) so we actually were just here to sleep but I’d definitely come back for a relaxing get away or a snowmobile trip since it’s close to the trails.

This property looks brand new and is sparklingly clean. We appreciated the peaceful location and space for all of us. The convenience to the store across the street and bar nearby was also used and appreciated. Very nice space!

Perfect spot
We wanted to visit family in the TC and Charlevoix and this was the perfect spot in-between for us to meet. The home was beautiful and immaculate! Just as seen in the pictures. We enjoyed cookouts and time on the patio as the weather was beautiful. There is a nice public beach/boat launch just a short walk away on Starvation Lake if you like to swim. Janet, the host, was quick to answer any questions and no issues to the check in or out process. We highly recommend this to anyone!

Amazing house
It’s a house you would want to own and stay at everyday! Convenient to the trails, gas, and a restaurant. Nice pond on the property that we got to watch wildlife at each night after the ride. During our time we watched new fawns jumping around in the pond like Bambi. Great outside welcoming envirornment, well laid out. Would definitely stay again. We were there for side by side riding.

Perfect for our trip!
Our group of 6 adults had plenty of room. The bedrooms were spacious,, great areas to relax both inside and outside, plenty of parking for trucks and trailers. The house was well-equipped with essentials for our stay. Very clean and up-to-date property, well maintained! The beds were large and very comfortable. Location is perfect with a gas station across the street and a bar with amazing food just down the road, very convenient ORV trails close by. Loved that the sound system also had outdoor speakers! Overall, this property made our trip so comfortable and enjoyable, we will definitely be back!
