About this property

Spacious, peaceful home away from home...snow or sun!

Welcome to our spacious, 1700 square feet home away from home! Three bedrooms, two bathrooms (two showers and a garden tub), and a kitchen filled with all the dishes, utensils and cookware you need to stay for as long as you need the break await your arrival - morning toast and coffee? grilled chicken for dinner (we have a grill!)? or maybe a batch of cookies to satisfy the sweet tooth? - all you need is here to prepare your best meals (you just bring the food). If you are looking to eat out - there are plenty of mom and pop, home-cooking options available in town, including a new specialty foods market and some amazing prepared smoked meals at Fork N Around. Want bigger food options? Both Houghton Lake and Higgins Lake are about a 20 minute drive from St. Helen, and there is always some fun going on there as well! Home cooked options bonus: the new favorite place for grocery shopping is only a couple of exits south in West Branch - Meijer - but St. Helen's own Louie's market is just down the street for when you need that last minute food item or just a bag of late night potato chips.

For the beach lovers, Cove Park Public Beach and boat launch are only 1.5 miles away, as well as fishing docks on Lake St. Helen - filled with pike, perch, bluegill and so much more! The kids can even catch the occasional crawfish at the beach when they aren't busy chasing minnows or playing with sand toys from the newly installed beach toys booth to borrow and return after your beach visit; for the lovers of off-road trail riding, there is a trailhead at the very entrance to our subdivision. And speaking of ORVs, if you have your own, we have plenty of driveway space for your trailers or small campers to rest in.

After a day of fun in the sun or on the trails, come home, relax by a big campfire, and roast some s'mores before getting a good night's sleep, recharging you for the next day's adventure! Bring your family and friends...our home sleeps 7 comfortably with enough space for an extra air mattress, too, which we provide along with both kitchen and bath linens, pillows, blankets along with minimal kitchen products and toiletries.

So, if you just need a break, want to experience the world of "up north, Michigan" not so far away from home, need a beach day or want to explore all the ORV trails have to offer, this is the place for you! Sip your coffee or cocktails on the front porch swing, breathe in the smell of fresh air and bonfires, and in the evenings enjoy the stars - diamonds in the sky! We love it here, and we still spend family time here, too, so please treat our home as if it were your own. We hope you love it as much as we do!

Great space for 6!

We enjoyed the side open space and the beds were comfortable. We had almost everything we needed (Could use a cookie sheet and a couple of non stick pans) but it was clean and a great location to the trails! We'll be back!

Perfect place when you come to play in St. Helen

Lovely home with all the amenities. The bed was SO comfortable! The home was clean, and the owner was responsive when we needed help after the electronic keypad died unexpectedly. I would love to stay here again. Perfect place to rest after a fun day in the woods. Also, the trails are SUPER close!

Great Access to Trails and Peaceful

Property was very clean and well taken care of. Between the instructions left by owner in a book and the great communications with the owner, the stay turned out perfect. Loved the ease of access to the trails. Was able to start off each day with a short drive to them and no need to trailer to trailer to them for the day. Was close to lake where wife and I could walk to the little beach park they have there. Would highly recommend this location as a place to stay and relax. I will definitely be back as it was also only a 10 min drive from family as well.

St. Helen Home in Quiet Neighborhood

We had a relaxing time staying in St. Helen. It was a quiet neighborhood, and we enjoyed sitting out on the front porch. It was also close to a lot of good places for me to fly fish on the Au Sable River and it's branches. My 93-year old mother was able to come up for a few days, and she enjoyed Bronner's Christmas Store in Frankenmuth, as well as visiting Mackinac Island. Home was clean and well-maintained. The property manager was quick to respond when we had questions. We spent a month here to escape the August heat in Texas, and definitely enjoyed the cooler temperatures.

St Helen stay.

Nice little place. Check in process left a little to be desired. Property manager would not respond had to contact VRBO to get to owner. Don't wait until 10:00 pm to try to get in.

It was perfect for a getaway!

The check in process was easy. The area is quiet. There is easy access to small mom and pop dining. There is also easy access to a small grocery store called Louie’s. We loved the chimney on the back porch. The beds were comfortable. The home was spotless. Would love to book again soon.

Clean, accommodating, comfortable, accessible.

We could not ask for more. Home away from home. So clean, unbelievable household items were available (towels, bedding, dishes, washer/dryer, bathroom supplies, miscell items…) close to trail sites, quiet neighborhood. Will definitely be interested in future again. Thank you for sharing your home.

Clean, comfortable, and quiet

My sister and I enjoyed our five day stay. The house was immaculately clean, well stocked with dishes, towels, and essentials. Beds were comfortable and neighborhood quiet. The living room light turning on when entering was great. The only hickup we had was several electrical breakers were off when we arrived, including the water heater and stove. Easy enough to solve and we had hot showers for the stay. Suggestions: - Mirror in back, left bedroom - Something for hanging clothes in the master bedroom (closet was locked, we assumed for owner's storage). - If electrical breakers, beside the well, need to be turned on, state that in the arrival instructions.

Great place, easy trail access

Place was great. Clean and very nice. There was six of us, three couples, and plenty of room for all of us. The two full baths made it nice for everyone getting around. Had easy access to the trails and the grocery store down the road had pretty much anything you’d need as far as groceries go. Only thing that could make it better is some more seating in the living room, but with the front and back porches, and all the activities to do, we spent very little time inside. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you
