Enjoyed our vacation with the kids and grandkids on Long Lake. House was very clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the kayaks, pedal boat, hammocks, yard games and the large yard and deck. Host was very responsive and answered any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again!
Very comfortable and relaxing. This house has everything that you would need to enjoy while staying at this home. Can only imagine how wonderful this place is during the summertime.
We had a very nice stay at the Irish Retreat. The house was warm and cozy for our stay in December. We were welcomed by Christmas decorations including a Christmas tree. What a great touch for our stay near family for the holiday. We had great communication from the owner and every thing was perfect. Thank you Todd for being a spectacular host. We would recommend to anyone and would definitely consider staying again.
Hands down the best stay at any vacation rental we have been to!
To start, the communication with the owner was clear, timely, and friendly. They proactively reached out with information to ensure it was the best stay possible and called back within minutes when we did have a few questions. They were flexible and we were able to come in a day early to avoid traffic also! The home is even better than it is described in the listing. It is set up with everything you would need for a stay and more. It was extremely clean and well laid out for a comfortable stay. The location is great and neighborhood is quiet. We were able to park the boat very easily and there are great dock options and charging is convenient. We booked two more weeks for this fall and next spring before we even left! Thank you for a great stay!!
This property and host was exactly what you might imagine from the photos. My best friend and 6 days here to relax and destress from lifeâs curves. The peaceful waterfront provided ample views and a natural backdrop to help us unwind. The super clean, homey decor allowed us to relax and enjoy. And if there was a question, the host was on it! Definitely a returnable location. Thank you Irishmanâs Retreat for allowing us to experience your little slice of heaven! đđ
We chose this home as we had looked for years up north for a home. To many homes were on top of each other and had no privacy. We picked this home as when we are up there while there are neighbors around, they are far enough away that we feel like we have our own lake. The bay that the home is in is extremely quiet. Homes are very spread out, and while the privacy is great, Alpena is only about 20-25 minutes away. This town has an amazing downtown and lots to do. The up north charm of downtown is hard to find. Not to mention that Lake Huron is only around the corner (10-15 minutes max).
The home is not a "cottage." It is a home. Everything you love about up north, but updated for 2024. Fast internet, technology, but the privacy and views that we believe are unmatched.
