Family-friendly holiday rentals in Alpena

I booked this beautiful home after my first reservation and host cancelled on me due to the storms. Well, I can say… we are so happy with our stay. It was exactly as described and even better than expected. April really is a one of a kind host, so good that I had to take notes for my own Air bnb adventure. She thought of everything! I’ve never had a better stocked kitchen. We always cook and make a big meal and we sure did not want for anything. We were even greeted with a local baked good and extra sheets and blankets for the dogs. These hosts were the best I’ve had in Michigan, if not the whole country. I’m thankful for people who truly consider someone’s stay and thinks of it all. Thank you again to the hosts. The Cabin was spotless and one of my favorite features was the deer lights.

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

Our stay at Dorene and John’s was perfect! We traveled the half hour to ski at Nub’s and enjoyed being in the private atmosphere of the cabin. The hot tub topped it all off! We didn’t want to leave!

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.

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!

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 enjoyed our stay at this location. Jennie is very friendly and helpful and available for any questions all the time. I would recommend this place to all my friends.

Peaceful and relaxing weekend. Paul was very nice and friendly! 100% recommend.

Zeron’s island is a stunning property with everything you’d ever need for a relaxing vacation. We watched beautiful sunsets every night from the lookout point and from the boat. The house is loaded with every lawn game and the kayaks / paddle boards were a hit. We will definitely be back!

Lots of fun to be had at Linda’s establishment. We enjoyed the fire pit and the WELL stocked wood to accommodate our camp fire😊

Walk out basement to the few steps to get to the beach area. Well stocked kitchen. Recommend bringing your own water if desired ( well water I believe) . Beautiful sunsets. Game room was fun .. bring quarters to play though . Highly recommend

We have stayed at Jeremy's place many times. He's always responsive, & helpful if/when we need to contact him. Wonderful location, we always love staying here.

This is by far the best Airbnb stay I’ve had in Northern Michigan. Steven had given great recommendations and was attentive whenever we needed him. In addition the location is perfectly secluded but complimented by a near by bar and downtown area! Highly recommend!

This place is super cool and beach themed which I love. The pics are accurate and location to the beach is just as described! There's a pier within walking distance too and plenty of sandy beach to enjoy! Two things stood out to me, the house was super clean! Like immaculate clean. I was impressed and two, the communication with the host was impeccable. I always get nervous about getting in and if I have questions if they're gonna be answered timely. I had zero issues and the host went above and beyond to be sure all my questions were answered pre staying there. Upon getting there everything was perfect so I had no more questions although the host still reached out to make sure everything was OK! Yup! Great service! The beds were also comfy so that's also another plus! I highly recommend! 💯😁

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!

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

Stacey was wonderful! She answered all of my questions prior to our stay. The kitchen was truly a fully stocked kitchen. First time I have not had to bring things from home to be able to cook for our large family. Loved all of the recommendations she gave us for things to do and places to eat. The property was beautiful and very relaxing.

I really appreciate you letting my husband and the lineman restoring power stay in your home! they really enjoyed it! Thank you for your kindness and understanding, I really appreciate it.

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!

Spectacular stay. Great views. All the comforts of home. It’s clear Donald and Monique care deeply about creating a great experience. Will certainly be back 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!
