Beautiful view

Our landscape crew loved coming to the cabin after a long day of work. Very comfortable and awesome view of the lake. Tree branches need to be trimmed to give a better view from the upper deck. We would highly recommend this location

Perfect getaway for the family

Wonderful clean house with plenty of beds for the whole family. Home was clean and ready to go and felt very personalized. Thr access to the lake and boats was perfect for the family and kiddos who spent every morning and evening fishing from the dock and spending time with grandpa on the quiet calm lake. Hoise had everything we needed and still close to all the major towns to visit uet still out on our own. Would love to come back. Go Blue!

We chose the Felker’s cottage because it was a central location for us to go rock hunting. We were able to drive to both sides of the state and even to the upper peninsula on day trips. Having access to the lake to go fishing was a huge plus. We caught a 24” northern pike when we took the paddle boat out fishing. Huge bluegill and perch were caught as well. There’s 5 rooms with beds, bathrooms on both floors and a huge kitchen table. There was a solo fireplace down by the dock which we didn’t use due to the high risk of fire. They had a huge ice storm a few weeks prior to our stay and there was still plenty of damage so it appeared to be a tinderbox which was very scary. The neighbors were very close and they stay on weekends but very friendly and helpful when we had questions about the area. Beautiful sunsets every night. The road gets busy on weekends but very little traffic during the week.

Beautiful, little lake, very comfortable house.

The Cottage was not as clean as years past, and maintenance is also slipping. But, the Freshwater team was quick to fix everything. Overall a fun, relaxing week.

Gorgeous fall colors and Beautiful water view

Perfect weekend getaway to relax and enjoy the beautiful sceneries. Fall colors were popping! Came here to enjoy the northern michigan autumn and I thought this area had the best colors compared to main attractions nearby. Great place to ride bikes and bring pets. Its a very cute cottage with vintage charm. I wish they placed lawn chairs on the porch and balcony so that we could enjoy the lakeview. Also, there was dried up laundry left inside the washer. But overall, the place was neat and clean. The kitchen and bath are well stocked.

Huffman lake

When we arrived heat was not working. Maintenance person was in process of repairing boiler system. It took rest of day before house was warm. House is very nice and was very clean. Rental company did help me with purchase of wood for fireplace to keep warm first night.

Cozy and comfortable

We loved our stay on Huffman Lake! The house was super cozy and comfortable. We cooked a lot and were super impressed by how well stocked the kitchen was. We had everything we needed and more! The area is gorgeous- we enjoyed walking out to the lake to enjoy the sunrise and sunset, and exploring the forest and searching for elk herds. Hope we can return some day!

Perfect Week Getaway

We had an absolutely wonderful time here. The house was quaint and comfortable. We enjoyed a fire each night, and soaks in the jet tub. Our kids fell in love with the house. Everything we needed was there, except a fire extinguisher, which the owner had the property manager bring over right away. We enjoyed walks in the woods, right out the back yard, and even bike rides around the lake (in 45 degrees and cooler weather). We'll very likely be back for another visit.
