Family-friendly holiday rentals in Alpena

This place is out of a dream. A perfect spot to unwind. Right on the lake. Has all the amenities. Nothing else I would change about this spot. This is my second visit and will definitely not be the last.

Bailey was a great host. She was responsive and helpful when we had issues. The house was nice, clean, and spacious.

The stay at Kenneth's place was everything I was looking forward to. Beautiful setting, spacious and very accommodating for a cousins reunion. All of us loved it and looking forward to our stay next year. Thank you so much Ken!

Great stay, the CUTEST location. Quiet, relaxing..right on the lake! couldn't ask for a better up north vibe!

Host went out of his way to make sure we had items for the kids; crib and toys.

Had a great time with the kids at Edwards place. Definitely off the beaten path, 20 min drive to property driving on gravel and then dirt/sand after the gate, was a little tight between the vegetation on the path with my truck but no damage done(couple minor scratches). You'll get used to the solar power and learn to conserve, make sure to charge during the day. Amazingly beautiful property, crazy quite. We didn't see much wildlife during our stay, mostly a wide variety of birds. we rented the small boat and made it to the sandbar on Hubbard lake, if your not too familiar with boats I would rent a boat in the surrounding lakes before trying to make it by river to Hubbard lake. River is GREAT for kayak, canoe or paddle board plus you won't scare off the wildlife with the sound of the engine. Overall, we had a great time in this secluded setting and spending quality time with the kids without wifi/internet.

We loved our stay at the 3 little cottages! It has everything we needed and more. The lakeside area was perfect for our kids. We enjoyed the use of kayaks as well. The cottages were clean and comfortable and had all basic amenities covered. We enjoyed all the extra toys provided in the shed. Lori was so helpful and friendly. We were so sad to leave and can not wait to come back next year!

Great secluded stay on a lake! Home was basic, but clean and comfortable. We spent almost all our time outside on the giant lawn and, of course, the lake. It is a little out of the way to find, but instructions provided were clear. Cell coverage is spotty with Verizon. Fishing was good. The nearby town has a pretty substantial grocery store, outdoor shop, and pretty much everything we needed during our stay. Host was very helpful and responsive the whole time! We will likely look at renting again next year.

William’s cabin was stocked with everything we needed to stay 4 days while working, and playing visiting clients in Traverse City. The location was beyond what we expected and our dogs LOVED playing in the open yard and snow. We would for sure stay here again, thank you!

The house is plenty big enough, clean and everything we needed. the property is beautiful and quiet. would definitely stay again.

We had a lovely 4-day trip here. We were pleasantly surprised with how big and open the home was; it was a very comfortable stay. Also loved the row boat, dock, fire pit and kayaks. It was great to be able to brings our dogs too! We read lots of reviews about the well water but the water was fine. It’s also on a sandy lot and allows pets, so it’s as clean as you’d expect. Only thing we’d change is it isn’t quite as private as we’d like, but that’s personal preference. We would stay here again!

It was just what we were looking for, quaint, quiet, and clean! Linda, is exceptional also. Warm, friendly and answered any questions that we had, regarding the area and her home. Thanks again, Linda!

Such a great stay! So close to a great beach and tons of stuff close for last minute grocery runs etc. House was very clean and spacious! If staying making sure you bring extra paper towels, trash bags, ziplocs, and those sort of things cause they are sparse (this do tell you this when you book!)

Our event "Sno Droft" because we were competing was stressful. Pete's Retreat just plain took that load off of our plate as did the host Leslie! Just a great location, great neighborhood and great people!

We had the most amazing weekend with our four kids (ages 2 to 10) at Sunkissed Cottage! The lake is incredibly beautiful and peaceful. The location felt safe and private. We felt like it was just ours, even though it was a holiday weekend. The cottage was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had what we needed to cook our meals. It was a weekend full of fishing, swimming, kayaking, bonfires, and board games. We checked out the old Presque Isle lighthouse, which is a short, pretty hike from the marina and full of charm. We would love to visit again!

This was a wonderful place to stay. It is right on a beautiful beach. Additionally, there was an issue with the front door getting jammed shut, Ben was very quick to respond, which I appreciate.

This was an exceptional place. Very quiet Ava serene. Matt and Betsy were very accommodating, kind, and friendly. They went above and beyond providing all accommodations throughout my week stay. A+.

We wanted to find a place that could host our family that had a great view and was also private. The house is amazing and the descriptions are accurate. Scott, our main contact, was always very responsive. We felt welcome the minute we walked in. We highly recommend this place!

This place was absolutely beautiful! Pictures don’t do justice for how beautiful it looks in person! The place was very clean and was very cozy! Definitely for the hotter humid nights bring a couple extra fans with you and close all the blinds, this will help keep it cooler inside :)) Easy to find during the day, when it switched to night, definitely a lot harder to find at night with GPS. Overall and amazing experience and lots of new memories were made here 🥰

Myself and family had a wonderful stay. It was so peaceful and beautiful scenery. The place was clean and well stocked. We had a great time on the kayaks and John boat. The hosts were accommodating and there was great communication.
