Amazing Memories

5 of 5
Submitted: May 17, 2013 Stayed: July 2012
We had an epic time during our stay at Uncle Frank's. There is not one bad thing that can be said. Frank and Sherry were extremely easy to talk with and very accessible when needed. The cabin has everything you need making it very comfortable as well as clean. My son and I had great time fishing every morning and night on the pontoon boat that was provided. We found the fishing to be spectacular and caught everything including bass, pike, pan fish, oh and yes a monster dog fish. The cabin's location is perfect, making day trips to Mackinaw City, Sault Ste Marie, Tahquamenon Falls, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Traverse City very easy and close. The bon-fires in the evening under the star blanketed sky were just simply amazing along with the sun sets. We will definitely be staying at Uncle Frank's again in the years to come. Thanks for the great memories Frank and Sherry.

Great Vacation Cabin

5 of 5
Submitted: August 20, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
Uncle Frank's Cabin was the perfect getaway spot for our Northern Michigan Getaway! It was clean, quiet and in a great location for exploring the area. We fished on the pontoon boat (that was INCLUDED in our rental fee), we got some great sun on the lake, and enjoyed bonfires every night! It is so close to Cheboygan, Mackinaw City, Mackinac Island and easy day trips to Bay Mills, St. Ignace and Sault Ste Marie. It is a great place to stay and you don't need to really bring anything other than your clothes! It had everything!! Full kitchen with appliances, dishes, pots & pans! The bathroom has tons of towels and toiletries. I wish I hadn't packed so much! We are looking forward to making a return trip next year to Uncle Frank's Cabin!

A Wonderful Cottage!

5 of 5
Submitted: August 12, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
My wife and I had a wonderful time at Uncle Frank's Cabin- what an amazing place! The cottage was very clean (which is really important to us) and it was also very spacious! It had everything we needed for our week long stay. We sat on the porch every morning and ate breakfast overlooking the lake. We also took the boats out on the water and swam in the middle of the lake and then sat out on the shore and read for the afternoon. Each night we drove into Mackinaw City for some ice cream / pie. The city was only 15 minutes from the cabin and is really fun to walk around! We also spent a day on Mackinaw Island. Mackinaw Island is a must visit in Northern Michigan- biking around the island is so much fun! And take it from us, it was so nice having a spacious cottage to come back to after a long day of biking on the island instead of a small hotel room! The property is very secluded and really beautiful- the sunsets over the lake with the campfire burning and marshmallows roasting were amazing! We couldn't have found a better place to stay. The owners were prompt in their communications and were so nice and easy to talk to! If we are ever able to make it back to northern Michigan in the future we are definitely going to try and stay here again!

We enjoyed this very clean cabin, that has everything we needed. It was cozy on a stormy night, with very attentive and easily available owners. Great outdoors space, from relaxing in a hammock, to sitting by a camp fire, plently of chairs for everyone. Loved the access to the pontoon boat, 2 paddle boats, and 2 canoes. Really loved the private lake with the loons every night and lots of other birds and wildlife. Easy access to Mackinac City, Petoskey and Cheboygan. Our family has rented cabins and cottages in MI for many years, this is one of our favorites. Thank you.

Dear Frank & Sherry,
Thank-you for making your cabin available to renters.
We had a very good time here - fishing every morning & night – using your Pontoon Boat & paddle boats & canoes & fires nightly. We loved the Loons, geese, Blue Heron & just the atmosphere of Uncle Frank’s Cabin. We also loved the location & enjoyed the nearby cities & beaches.
