This place is wonderful in every way. It is quiet and clean with gorgeous views and perfectly equipped with whatever you may need. It was the peaceful retreat we needed and we will definitely be back.
We loved our stay in the Acorn Cottage. The view of Hubbard Lake was beautiful and the cottage was cozy and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend!
We really enjoyed the coziness of the cottage and the beautiful Lake. Unfortunately it rained a couple days but Susie provided us with nearby places to visit. Would definitely visit the acorn cottage again.
We booked a weekend stay as part of our 45th wedding anniversary trip. The Acorn Cabin was superb! You can lay in bed and watch the sun come up over the lake! We were lucky enough to catch a full moon as well, and were treated to an enchanting moonrise as we enjoyed a campfire. To make it even better, Susie was a fabulous hostess, and made us feel so welcome, we were glad to have her on the property and enjoyed our time with her.
We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was perfect! The place is beautiful, and very relaxing. It was so peaceful. We had such a wonderful time! Susie is a wonderful host!
This was the perfect little cottage for my husband and I to get away for the weekend. Despite rainy weather and a health challenge, our stay was still enjoyable because of the outstanding communication and hospitality we received. The cabin was thoughtfully appointed with everything we could want or need and the area was perfect. Wish we could have enjoyed a campfire by the beautiful lake. Next time!!!
We were looking for a last minute place to stay due to a cancellation at another place and Susie went out of her way to get us in the cottage on extremely short notice. The cottage was amazing and was exactly what we were looking for. The property is immaculate and offers great views of the lake. We will definitely stay here any chance we get if itâs available.
My husband and I enjoyed a weekend getaway of pure relaxation and solitude! It was such a warm and cozy cottage and the written instructions were so helpful. We will definitely be back!
Charming, convenient,clean,cozy the views from our windows was breathtaking. Nice fire pit and the cottage had all amenities you could imagine.we wish to return next year.
What a delightful week this has been! I needed a solitary break after a stressful period and Acorn Cottage was ideal.
The photos and description of Acorn Cottage on VRBO are very accurate. Very clean, very comfortable, and very well equipped for a delightful week. The loveliest sheets Iâve ever slept on. Donât be daunted by the kitchenette. Itâs well equipped and it was easy to cook simple meals with the microwave and toaster oven.
I arrived with plans to complete many paperwork projects. The dining table overlooking the lake was the ideal setting for these projects, and I accomplished a lot. I had been concerned about the speed of the Internet connection in this somewhat remote location, but it was better than I have a home in a metropolitan area.
What I didnât expect was the time I spent sitting so comfortably on the living room sofa or on the dock with a cup of tea just reading and enjoying the relaxed nature of this beautiful and peaceful place.
I very much hope to come back again in the future!
This has by far been the best stay at a rented home or cottage! Nice, peaceful and quiet like our own piece of heaven. Extremely clean, tidy, lots of accommodations, and the owner susie was just top notch! She helped make everything such a well needed relaxing stay not only that helped capture a very special moment in mine and my fiances life. Will definitely be coming back. This cottage has a new place in our hearts. 10/10 would reccoment to everyone.
Acorn cottage is perfect - the host has thought of every amenity you could want, lovely view, comfortable and tastefully furnished. We enjoyed exploring not only Hubbard Lake but the Alpena area - its lighthouses, the Besser Museum and the island park (in the middle of town) for hiking and birding. A great getaway!
I came with a list of things i wanted to do on vacation, but once i arrived the peace of the property drew me in. I spent nearly all of my time going from lying in bed (EXTREMELY comfortable) looking out at the lake to the deck looking out at the lake. Sunrises were incredible. The property is beautiful with outdoor seating in many places, a comfy indoor porch, a cute kitchenette, and a large bedroom/ sitting area. The owner has a home on the property but it wasn't an issue at all. She came and went and i never heard her nor did i feel like she was monitoring what i was doing.
The Owner, is a professional artist, oil painter, who lives, on the property in the main house located on the same property as the Acorn Cottage just a short distance away... She manages her studio business from the main house. Come and stay and visit with a local artist and find inspiration from the lake she calls home. You will soon understand why the phrase 'Hubbard Lake Happy' is what residents and vacationers say to capture the essence of this little piece of paradise.
The 2-1/2 acre wooded property spans 175 feet of lakefront and has more than 90 oak trees for cool shade in the hot summer... the property is named "Mighty Oaks" which is how the Acorn Cottage got it's name. As the smaller cozy cottage near the main house it seemed appropriate to call it the Acorn Cottage. Come in beauty of fall and you may hear an acorn or two ping on the porch's metal roof! You have full access to the docks, boathouse deck, fire pit, and water toys in the boathouse such as kayaks, inflatables, life jackets and paddle board. We suggest bringing water shoes if entering the water from the shoreline where there will be about two feet of the most colorful lake stones you can imagine. You may be lucky enough to find a petoskey stone (fossilized coral). Just past this the lake turns to fine sand and the water is crystal clear for swimming. We boast you can see the bottom even 25 feet out. The Owner lives quietly in the main house and is always avaiilable for local information on sights and dining. Once you book, a full document of things to do, places to go, restaurants and where to find provisions will be sent to you. That said, there may be times when she has family visiting and you may share the lawn and waterfront. But they are a fun bunch and there is plenty of lush green lawn and shade to share.
The Acorn Cottage is a private, quiet, inspiring lakefront retreat getaway that feeds your soul with its stunning views to the north and south. The crystal clear cool fresh water for swimming and water fun reaches 75 degrees plus in the middle of summer. The Sun rises right in front of the cottage and you may even be lucky enough to catch a full moon rise! The property has been in our family for 25 years. My father named it "Mighty Oaks" with it's more than 90 oak trees on the irrigated lush green lawn. This property captured our hearts the moment we saw it!
