Amazing trip! Outstanding location! The mix of hard packed sand and rocks near the shore was perfect for our group of ladies who love rock hounding, boating and just floating in the lake. Lake Avalon is a hidden gem!

Absolutely stunning lake. Water looks like the Carribean...just a little colder. Cottage was very nice with all of the amenities that you need. 4 bedrooms make it very nice for larger groups as well. Also, it is a private lot and you feel isolated from the rest of the lake which is very nice.

We had a very relaxing stay on this beautiful lake! We got to be the first renters at the Treehouse! We absolutely loved kayaking every morning & got to use the pontoon boat on our last day...thanks for a great start to our vacation!

Beautiful Location
The view is what you stay for! The dock was such a great addition. We kayaked daily. The house had everything we needed. It is an older house, the floors are uneven and of course you will have a bug or two but it was all apart of the charm for us! We plan to return again. :)

Amazing Views
The property was amazing. Very clean and welcoming. Communication with the owners was excellent. The owners nicknamed this house, the treehouse, which is an excellent name as you sit above the lake with great views not only of the lake but the sunset. Our family spent most of our time on the private dock which was big enough for four chairs and plenty of room for others to sit with their feet in the water. We also really enjoyed swimming out to the private pontoon raft. The lake was not busy and we took advantage of the kayaks never being concerned with too many boats on the lake. In the evenings the outdoor deck was perfect for watching the sunset, eating as a family and playing games. Tons of room! We also really enjoyed having a fire pit with plenty of wood. This was our first time renting this house and we will definitely be back.

Great location, house is not as described.
House was poorly described and not what we expected. Infested with chipmunks running through the house leaving fecus and urine in the cabinets and on dishware. Floors in the house were soft and the deck was mismatched and not to code along with some boards that were very soft. The dock was unstable and leaning by the end of the week.
The lake was amazing and sandy. We spent most of our time in the water.

The house is described as rustic and in the woods, with that comes an occasional unwanted guest as it is in the middle of the woods. When the renter informed us of a chipmunk, we promptly took care of it. We haven't had an issue since. The house is on a cement slab, so I'm not certain how the floors could be soft. There is new laminate wood flooring throughout the home. No carpet in any of the rooms. It did appear that a past renter must have bumped into the dock making it lean, which was stabilized after their check- out. Had we been informed of this issue during their stay, a maintenance man would have been sent to repair it promptly.

Fun Week at Gorgeous Lake Avalon
Our family of 5 (including two teens) had a fantastic week at this gorgeous lake and lovely cottage and community. The owners thought of most anything we might need including beach towels, lake toys, games, firewood, laundry essentials, a well-stocked kitchen, etc. They were excellent about communicating with us. We spent the week, enjoying the gorgeous clear lake water, kayaks, paddle boat, pontoon dock, and pontoon boat. This is a gem of a lake! The cottage has amazing views and has been renovated to provide a very peaceful environment inside and out.
The Hillman community is quiet and very friendly. My husband enjoyed a visit to the local barbershop. Our family enjoyed the local pizza shop and Hillman Market/Grocery store.
Our family likes to bike. We took advantage of the proximity to Mackinac Island (1 hour to ferry) and the Huron Sunrise Trail (Rogers City - 30 min away) to enjoy some beautiful bike rides.

Restful Lakefront Property
The address is actually 17569 Avalon Drive Hilman, MI. If you use the address on the listing you will be lost. Also the number for the cabin is on tree by the entrance of the driveway. We spent an hour searching for the property. There are a lot of steps to get down to the lake so anyone with issues with steps (elderly/problems with walking etc) this would not be the best place for you.
The home provided all the essentials we needed to keep us comfortable. The beds were so comfortable & we all slept really well! The kitchen had plenty of dishes and pots/pans so we could cook.
The cabin had games, movies, books, floaties and kayaks (we didn’t use the kayaks) but it had essentials for a family to enjoy afternoons together inside and out.
Towels and linens were provided which was wonderful! My kids LOVED the heavy fluffy comforters in the porch room!
Communication with host was great! If we are in the area ever again I would definitely rent from them again!

Great time in Hillman
We’re a family of five with kids ranging from 5 to 11. We had a great time staying here. We rented the pontoon and used it every day. The kids especially enjoyed the paddle boat. It was their “yacht” and they made numerous trips back and forth between the dock and the swim platform. The lake is as advertised, with crystal clear water, and a shallow sloping entry without any weeds. It was beautiful. The area is quiet but we were able to get everything we needed in Hillman. We ventured over to Alpena to see Lake Huron, had a blast at Arzo sports and amusement park and tried several local restaurants. Overall it was a great experience.

Beautiful Lakehouse Family Vacation Spot
Lake Avalon is a true gem! The lake is insane beautiful, warm and fun for any activities our family wanted to do. The pontoon rental was perfect. Sunsets out on the lake were truly magical. Plenty of space for my husband and I and 4 teenagers. We cooked dinner each night and enjoyed relaxing on the deck overlooking the lake. Enjoyed some family time around the firepit as well. The hosts were awesome communicators and were immediately responding when we reached out. Keep in mind this is an up north lake cabin in the woods, not a 4 star resort. If you come with those expectations, you will not be disappointed. We would definitely return just for the sunsets alone :)

Beautiful lake
The water is the color of the Caribbean when the sun hits it. This listing does not have a sandy beach, air or heat however none of those are needed as a nice breeze goes through the cabin and fans are provided. Beds and house is clean and comfortable. Make sure to rent the pontoon for added fun. House has a large assortment of movies and games. Owners are very responsive if needed. Will stay again if available and in the area.
