Newly renovated, large home, private, wooded area, beautiful river, pet friendly

A large ranch home with space enough for large family gatherings. Renovations completed in 2023 with all new appliances, updated floor and wall covering and additional bedrooms. A complete kitchen upstairs and down. Bedrooms upstairs and down as well as TV room and game room with pool table and dart boards, downstairs. A large dining area attached to an open kitchen. Large living room with 85 inch TV streaming content. Downstairs also has attached screened in room with large cement patio facing the Thunderbay River. Ample yard for children and dogs to romp. Also there is a fenced in yard attached to the patio with screened in porch in case you would like a child or dog contained. Ample walking trails extend from the yard and continue to the state park 11/2 miles down the trail and thousands of acres of state land used for snowmobiles, walking and equestrians in the Mackinaw State Forest. A private getaway but just 1o minutes from a major grocery store and 15 minutes to beautiful, Lake Huron Beaches. Alpena is a quiet, pleasant, mid-size northern Michigan town. You get northern Michigan bliss without Traverse City crowds.

Family Bonding
We rented the house to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday. It was perfect. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms - so everyone was comfortable. We put my mom in the main bedroom, with the ensuite. She loved the walk in shower - with the bench! From the giant window, she was able to watch the kids take out the kayaks, playing with the dog and enjoy the beautiful property. The rest of the family was able to spread out over the remaining five bedrooms. Each bedroom was furnished with a queen bed and a dresser - making them easy to move into for the week we were there. We enjoyed cooking and eating together as a family. We spent a few evenings playing cards and watching movies on the HUGE TV. Kitchen was stocked so well - we loved having access to the shared spices. We forgot to bring oil to make popcorn on the stove - was nice not to have to run out, just grabbed it out of the pantry. There were lots of those types of "little things" that made the trip enjoyable. The house was equipped with everything you could need or want. Most importantly, the hosts were amazing and responsive. The issues we ran into were dealt with quickly. They're wonderful people. We had such a good time - hope to return again soon.

River house
The house was very clean, and had everything we needed including towels, bedding, and kitchen supplies. Our grandkids and dogs had a great time playing in the river and kayaking. The house is very roomy and we were all able to spread out and had plenty of room for sleeping. We loved the fire pit area, and playing pool and darts in the basement. The owners are very accommodating and even came to the house to fix the internet when it wasn’t working. We would definitely stay there again.

Dont judge a drive by
Inside house really nice, modern new appliances and plenty of areas for people to have personal space. They are working on outdoor areas and landscaping but was still beautiful remote riverfront with abundant wildlife. Location close to local stores, restaurants wilderness, lakefronts, and great fishing only minutes away We would definitely rent this property again
