- "Beautiful location!" - "The rooms were well maintained, super comfy beds, so nice and quiet, our river view relaxing, and a healthy grab and go breakfast! We especially loved that the hotel is located right on the Trail of Two Cities. My son and I enjoyed two mornings of jogging to North Park and back.

- "Just a super nice time." - "We really enjoyed our stay. Having a fenced in area for our dogs was wonderful and Dave was very helpful checking on us and getting us settled when we first arrived." - "We had a wonderful stay at Kerry’s Cabin. The neighborhood is quiet and the cabin has everything anyone could need. The river was" - "While there is some traffic, and therefore some noise you can if sitting close to river in the back, it is muffled by the tree cover surrounding and therefore not bothersome to us. The house itself is much farther away and therefore even quieter. Nice, clean, compact house with a fenced yard that was great for our dog or else he would spend his entire time in the river! Nice elevated patio with a BBQ. We (and the dog) really loved the very shallow river (less than knee deep) with a sandy bottom. Caretaker Dave who lives next door is a darling! Very personable and helpful."

It has a full kitchen with granite and dishwasher with all of the pots/pan/cookware amenities, 1 full bath room with tile floor, a large living room, lodge style knotty pine walls. Dark bamboo hardwood floors. There are three queen beds along with one sleeper sofa. Very open kitchen/ dining/sun room view looks out over beautiful views of the Lake.

- "Love the house, the location, the lake. House is very well kept. Love that there is both beach for the baby and deeper swimming for my two older kids without ever leaving the property. Lots of sandy bottom areas, good fishing-the complete package : ) we are already thinking about when we can come back." - "Absolutely loved this property. My family of 6 had an amazing time! The cabin had everything and more. The lake was beautiful and my children ranging from ages 6-17 had an absolute blast. Locally had some of the best ice cream and pizza we have ever had. I give our stay 10/10. We will definitely be making a return visit!"

A cozy cottage with a fantastic waterfront view of Wiggins Lake. You'll be able to take it all in while you're swimming in the lake or enjoying a great view and some shade on the front deck. Maximum occupancy is 4 guests.

The cottage is well maintained, clean, and has all the basic necessities to enjoy your stay on the lake. Please note we have a *no pets* policy as Kathryn is allergic and we also want to protect other guests that are sensitive to pet hair & dander. We purchased this cottage in Aug 2020 and bought new bedding, towels, pillows, glasses, silverware, kitchenware, and more. We refresh them as needed and strive for you to have an amazing time on the lake!

Renovations in July 2025: We increased the size of our dock and added a new 12ft x 10ft sitting area to the end of our dock! Grab some chairs and enjoy some coffee as you watch the sun rise over the lake! Or sit out during sunset and listen to the loons call! You'll have an amazing view of the lake as you take it all in.

Renovations in May 2022: A full remodel of the bedroom and some improvements in the living room. We got a comfy new Queen bed/frame from Denver Mattress (Doctors Choice Elite Euro Plush - since people have asked us!), floating nightstands, ceiling fan, black out curtains, and more. Power on each side of the bed and USB plug in each lamp.

Renovations in May 2021: Full remodel of the bathroom and front room. Included new lights, vanity, sink, mirror, chairs, couch, custom wall planks, several painted walls/ceiling, and a ceiling fan. We also installed new wood floors throughout the cottage too.

For liability & insurance reasons we ask that you stay off the pontoon boat and our neighbor's property/docks. We've got amazing neighbors, but they don't want the liability of unknown guests on their property. Thanks for your understanding! :)

- "A great house. Always enjoy our stay." - "The home was clean, well-stocked, and very comfortable. The location was perfect, and watching loons on the lake was a great bonus. We also enjoyed renting the pontoon boat. This was a wonderful and quiet place to relax." - "Wonderful clean cottage with all the amenities you’ll need for a great stay. We brought our kayaks and enjoyed the beautiful lake. We floated around on air mattresses from the dock. There were a few weeds further out but a sandy bottom at the sea wall. The water was warm and perfect for swimming. Communication with the owners was easy. We can’t wait to come back next year. Thanks Tavis and Kathryn. Your place is a little piece of heaven."

- "We had more than enough of everything. The owners helped us out alot, told us where to go, what’s to do, where the church was. Had the bon fires ready for us. What ever we needed he had it there for us. Very clean. Hot tub, water, sand , woods with all the stuff to do out there was great, the game room for all ages, and toys and board games for all ages, something for everyone for a big family..would go back again ." - "Our party of 13 family members enjoyed a terrific stay in July on Secord Lake near Gladwin. The accommodations were top notch and accurately described. They seemed to have anticipated everything. The owners were accessible and responded quickly to requests or questions. Whether in the hot tub, a kayak, fishing, or playing on the “lily pad”, the water provided great fun and/or relaxation. There were enough activities available to interest all of us, ages 8 to 74. All in all, a very successful vacation. Thank you Kendall and Jo."

- "Wonderful place to spend time with family. Stayed in town for a family wedding. Enjoyed the fishing and waterfront. The home owners had many of the “things you forget” available. Appreciated the little things, cotton swabs, makeup remover wipes, HAIR DRYER, ziplock bags, games ect. I did purchase and leave some hangers in the closet :) Only wish we could have used the fireplace. Everything else was flawless. Hope to stay again in the future."
