We loved our stay here! We go on a yearly ice fishing trip with about 8 of us and this place was big enough to accommodate all of our needs! I was a little skeptical about dealing with a property manager because I’ve had bad experiences prior. But they were great would definitely be back to stay here again

FVR RESPONSE: 

Thank you so much for the great review, Justin! We're really glad to hear that the home worked well for your annual ice fishing trip and that there was plenty of space for everyone in your group. It means a lot that you trusted us despite your past experiences with property managers, and we're especially happy to hear that your stay changed that impression. We’d love to host you and your group again for next year’s trip—hopefully with just as much good fishing and good company! Thanks again for staying with us and for taking the time to share your experience. -Jessica FVR

We stayed at this cabin for two nights and had a wonderful experience. The cabin was clean, cozy, and well maintained, and the peaceful lake nearby made our stay very relaxing. We loved waking up to the quiet surroundings and spending time by the water. It was the perfect place to unplug and enjoy nature. We would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a calm and comfortable getaway especially in the winter. Jacuzzi was the greatest thing there.

FVR RESPONSE: 

Thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful review, Megi! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful stay at Camp Windy Dock and enjoyed the cozy cabin, peaceful lake, and quiet winter surroundings. It’s great to know the jacuzzi was a highlight—there’s nothing better than relaxing in it after a day of unplugging and enjoying nature. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back anytime for another calm and comfortable getaway. -Jessica FVR

Beautiful cabin on the lake. Spacious! Private location. Very windy but beautiful! Enjoyed the area. Place was well stocked and had everything we needed! We loved visiting the lighthouses and beaches. (side note: The kayaks were not the correct type for the lake (sit on style, short) so not really able to go out into the lake. I’d suggest to bring your own if you want to go out from shore. There was row boat which was in rough shape but worked to get us out into the lake. Host team was very responsive regarding the missing oar, they helped us locate the replacement and we were able to install the new ones.) They were very friendly and quick to help! We loved dining on the sun porch and sitting on the dock! Appreciated the coffee and extra touches. Relaxing in the hammock and by the fire was perfect! Overall great place! We really enjoyed the stay! Thanks ☺️

We will be back!
We have had the opportunity to stay at a variety of homes on Grand Lake and the Alpena area. This is by far the best location. It is private, spacious and actually better than the photos and description.
