Riverfront Cabin in Alger w/ Patio & WiFi!

A peaceful retreat awaits at this secluded 2-bed + loft, 1-bath vacation rental cabin in Alger, Michigan. Located just 2 hours north of Detroit, this 2,143-square-foot riverfront home offers access to an all-sport lake, thousands of acres of state forest, a pool table, patio area, outdoor fire pit and more! Whether its fishing, golfing, canoeing and ATVing in the summer, hunting in the fall, or snowmobiling in the winter, the cabin can offer you an exciting vacation to remember.

-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: King Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Loft: Twin Bed with Twin Trundle Bed

Begin each morning taking the canoe out on the water for a relaxing start to your day. Brew a fresh cup of coffee using the Keurig and wait for the rest of your group to wake up while you sit out on the patio and breathe in the fresh forest air.

During downtime, the home offers an abundance of activities to keep you entertained. Enjoy watching shows on the flat-screen satellite TV, watch movies using the DVD player, or play billiards in the recreation room. Rack ‘em up and challenge a companion to a game of pool!

As dinner time rolls around, prepare a home-cooked feast in the fully equipped kitchen. The space has enough room for the chef of the group and other helping hands to move about easily.

Relax and chat with friends and family, feeling the warmth of the fireplace, while you savor meals at the elegant 10-person dining table. A wall of windows display exceptional views of the river.

When you’re ready for dessert, head outside to roast marshmallows around the fire pit and see who can make the perfect s’more. The moon and starry sky will serve as the perfect lighting to guide you back inside after the fire dies down.

After tucking the tired tykes into one of the 2 twin beds in the loft, take solace in either the master suite or the second bedroom.

-- THE LOCATION --

Golfing, shopping, antiquing and great restaurants are just minutes away. Stay home and relax on the spacious property, or venture out to explore all that Alger has to offer!

Embark on canoe adventures down the Tittabawassee River or spend the day on Secord Lake soaking up the sun’s rays, fishing, boating and more.

No matter what season you decide to visit, you’re sure to find something that will peak your interest. Go on thrilling ATV rides through scenic trials in Ogemaw County, go shopping at the outlet center in West Branch
and explore all the other activities Alger/West Branch has to offer!

Great Place for Seclusion, Not Great for Recreational Lake Usage.
We stayed here for a friend's birthday weekend. We LOVED how big and open the property and home was. It allowed a great amount of room for group meals, playing pool, baking, cooking, and hanging out in general. Super nice for the rainy days we encountered! When it wasn't raining, we were able to enjoy the fire by the water, fishing, and canoeing. I even was able to run the dirt road for 2 mile runs in the morning. They've got plenty of pots and pans, a coffee pot, and a skillet, making all of our meals easy going! When we first entered the house, the light switches were a tad tricky to figure out, and could be better if labeled. The toilet flush is also comically close to the wall, making it hard to flush. Water pressure for the shower is PHENOMANAL. They could bare to add an additional half bath. With 5 people staying, there were a few times potty breaks overlapped. It was dog friendly and out dalmatian loved hanging out and exploring the property! We were a bit disappointed in the "boat access" that was advertised. It is far down the branch and past a vat of state land. It's not well traveresed waters, so there is a bunch of sea weed, lily pads, stums, and muck. It's a great area for canoeing and kayaking! But, sadly, a speed boat/pontoon/jet ski would not travel well down here. My dad traveled from his place on the lake to the cabin and although he was able to make it there, it was not an easy feat and wasn't worth it for us to have cruises on the pontoon. This was a bit disappointing for us. Overall a great experience! I don't know that we'd come back secondary to the limited recreational lake access. However, if you like seclusion , fires by the water, and wide open spaces, this is the place for you!

Gem in the woods
My boyfriend and I plus our two dogs loved this place. Very remote and peaceful. Great for the dogs to run around and go for a swim. We brought a trolling motor and attached it to the canoe to scoot up the river quicker. We saw deer, turtles water snakes, blue herons/jays .. only caught a baby perch (we tried). Lot's of nature - would love to see this place in the fall. Only negative - no BBQ/bathtub didn't drain well. Very small things in comparison to the fun we had - would return. Thanks!!

Family retreat
We love Miller Sanctuary. It's just what we need to get away for a bit of relaxation. The only downfall was that it seemed a bit dirty when we got there. But we rolled up our sleeves and spruced the place back up, no problem. Thanks for another lovely and memorable time, Ginger!

Could have been better...
We wouldn't chose to stay here again. Upon our arrival, WiFi and TV weren't working. The owner facilitated getting the WiFi up and running (with the aid of a 3-way call with internet service provider). My husband is handy with electronics and found the bad cord and switched it out for TV. Cleaning crew (?) dumped dirt from vacuum bag across from front door and left it there. The tub should be replaced and the drains should be snaked out. Water backs up fast when you take showers and do dishes. The exterior should be power washed. Most of the carpet should be removed. We washed several window sills (lots of dirt and dead bugs). We had two weeks at property and wanted it to be clean. Without being overly critical, it wasn't very inviting. We do have some expectation of cleanliness, as we have rented our property out in Florida and are keen on having everything running properly and the the house be very clean. The spot was pretty, we enjoyed taking the canoe out. We saw lots of wildlife (geese, turkeys, deer).

Great place for family vacation!
We had a wonderful time at this place. House is very clean and well maintained. It was a perfect weekend getaway considering proximity to south east Detroit. Millers are very prompt in responding to all of our questions during our stay. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a quite family getaway.

Perfect for families whether outdoors or indoors!
Our stay at Miller Sanctuary was relaxing and we enjoyed every minute of it (even when my husband tipped out of the canoe while fishing 🛶😎). The cottage is beautiful on the inside and has a lovely setting among birch and pine trees. Very quiet and peaceful. The loft area is charming and has two twin beds. There is a Queen bedroom off from the full kitchen along with a King master bedroom on the main floor. All decorated lovely. The main sitting and dining area have a wall of windows facing the water. The entertainment room is very roomy and has a Dish TV along with DVD’s. This is also where you will find the pool table. The cottage along with the dock, pontoon, canoe, patio and fire pit by the lake can keep you entertained for quite some time. There are three window air conditioners throughput the home along with a ceiling fan in the main sitting area and these can keep the home cool on hot days easily. The woodwork is stunning and the brick fireplace is beautiful. We decided to take our two teenage daughters with us for a long Father’s Day weekend and hated to leave. The owners, Ginger and Joe Miller, made sure that we had everything we could need and then some. I would highly recommend staying at Miller Sanctuary at least once and I am sure you will want to return again and again! Thank you again Ginger and Joe for letting us stay and get a little idea of what kind of happy place this truly is. 💜. Oh! I almost forgot to say that this cottage is pet friendly (we brought or lab with us). There is also some nature to be seen as we spotted many deer nearby and one fawn across the river that was especially beautiful. 💛

Beautiful spacious Cabin
The Cabin was beautiful inside! We loved the pool table, the master bed was so comfortable and elegant. We went with another couple and they thought the cabin was very nice. We went out on the lake in our friends boat. Due to the fact that the water level down the channel was low we couldn't drive the boat to the dock and park. That was a little frustrating, but overall we had so much fun on Secord Lake! The mosquitoes are definitely thick so we didn't end up having a fire. We really enjoyed the Cabin and the Lake!!!
