This is a gorgeous lakefront vacation rental home that is right on Lake Huron in Alpena, Michigan! It has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and sleeps 10. It has a large and gated yard for kids and dogs to play! The rental of the house also includes the use of 2 kayaks and the use of the boathouse on the property, so you can walk out the front door and immediately be in your boat and on the lake! Please note that a liability waiver must be signed before using the boathouse and/or the kayaks. There are a few other items that we should mention regarding this vacation rental property: * The lake bottom in front of the house is rather mucky, so for swimming we recommend going to one of the nearby public beaches, which are less than a 10-minute drive from the house. (Right in front of the lake wall, the lake is also approx. 3 feet deep. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH CHILDREN!) * There is a separate small apartment on the property that is attached to the boathouse and is used by the property owner. At any time it is possible that the property owner may be staying in the boathouse apartment. * The vacation house is pet-friendly and up to 2 dogs are permitted. Cats are not allowed. For other pets or more than 2 dogs, please discuss things with us first. * The vacation home includes high-speed Wi-Fi. There is also a streaming television provided. * There is a gated entrance (opened and closed by hand) that allows the large yard to be completely fenced in for kids and dogs. * The house features a modern, large, and well-stocked kitchen with a gas range as well as a gorgeous view of of the lake while cooking. * There are both indoor and outdoor dining tables for 6 people. * The vacation home has a front loading washer and dryer in the downstairs bedroom. (The washer and dryer are in the bedroom closet.) * There is a very nice fire ring with adirondack chairs for having wonderful bonfires and s'mores! * Although not shown in the photos, there is a charcoal barbeque grill.

Alpena is a wonderful and rather affordable getaway to nature and water in northern Michigan! Downtown Alpena is approx. a 10 to 15 minute drive from the house, depending upon where you are going.
