Summary: The lake was beautiful and only a short walk from the house. The listing was as advertised and Gil was very helpful in his recommendations of what to do in the area.

Summary: Clean and spacious home. Kitchen was bigger than expected. Nice deck as well. Newly rebuilt dock so have own area in water. Use of the fishing boat was nice as well. Beautiful lake. Overall nice place to stay. To clarify a few things: the house is not on the water but has access to it. The room in the basement is the basement itself so do not be surprised by that. Gil was very nice and checked in with us as he does live next door. I would stay here again.

Summary: What can I say….Our family enjoyed our time at Hickory Hollow cottage. With the great weather all week, we took advantage and spent lots of time together on Lake Avalon. In the evenings, played games, caught up on the Olympics, and had a couple of bonfires for s’mores. Our furbaby had a blast in the water too. The cottage was comfortable. The lake and sunsets were beautiful. Gil and his wife are very nice and helpful. Overall our family had a pleasant time together at your cottage. Thanks again for everything ☺️

Summary: Unfortunately we had to cut our vacation short due to illness. Hosts were nice and accommodating. I think the parking of the boat trailer needs to be included in the listing. The trailer was taken offsite to a different residence. If you bring a pontoon, the dock situation isn’t ideal but we worked with Gil to insert polls to tie our 22 ft pontoon to during our stay. The water is perfect for swimming but somewhat shallow for our toons. We tried fishing a few times but didn’t get a bite. It may have been too warm for fishing. The house was clean. Many stairs to climb if you are looking for handicap accessibility to the house or lake you may find this challenging. Thanks to the host for providing a pillow for our long ride home. It really helped with the back pain. Fun house for two couples.

Summary: Avalon Lake is just beautiful - the water is so clear. We enjoyed eating and shopping in Hillman and in Alpena. The house was great - always cool downstairs and all the amenities we needed.

Summary: Kind, loving owners made this stay pleasant on a lake that is absolutely unforgettable! The home serves as a guest quarters for the owners, and worked well for a friend get together on the lake. The location is nice as it's an hour drive from a lot of other popular destinations like the Sturgeon and Au Sable rivers for an avid paddler like me.
