Alpena Family Home Games + Fenced Yard

Description

Stay in a charming historic Alpena home near downtown & Lake Huron! Sleeps 11 with a game room, fenced yard, 2 baths, full kitchen & plenty of space for families and pets. Enjoy arcade games, pool, air hockey & a fire table after exploring the lake. This well-loved old home has character—including sloped floors & steep stairs—paired with modern comforts for a memorable Alpena stay. The space Stay in a piece of Alpena history—an old home filled with character, quirks, and the kind of charm you simply don’t get from a new build. This spacious family- and pet-friendly home sleeps up to 11 and puts you close to downtown Alpena and Lake Huron, with a fenced backyard, dedicated game room, two bathrooms, and plenty of space for the whole crew. An old house with a story Part of the experience here is the house itself. This is a genuinely old Alpena home, and we’ve chosen to embrace the character that comes with its age rather than try to make it feel like a brand-new house. You’ll notice original details, charmingly sloped and uneven floors in places, and a steep staircase to the second floor—all reminders that this home has been standing for generations. We think those imperfections are part of what makes it special, but we also want guests to know what to expect before booking. The stairs may be difficult for guests with limited mobility or very young children, and the home won’t feel perfectly level and uniform like modern construction. If you love old houses with personality, history, and a few quirks, you’ll feel right at home here. Made for family time While the house has plenty of history, the fun is decidedly modern. The dedicated game room gives kids and adults something to do after a day exploring Alpena—or when Michigan weather changes your plans. Enjoy: • 5-in-1 stand-up arcade • Pool • Air hockey • Foosball • Board games • Children’s books and toys There are comfortable gathering spaces throughout the home, so larger families and multi-generational groups have room to spend time together without feeling crowded. Bring the dog The fenced backyard makes traveling with four-legged family members easier and gives everyone additional outdoor space. Enjoy your morning coffee outside, relax on the patio after a day at the beach, or spend the evening together around the fire table. Room for the whole crew The home accommodates up to 11 guests with: • Main-floor split king bedroom • Second-floor queen bedroom • Second-floor twin bedroom • Three twin pull-out beds • Queen sleeper sofa • Two bathrooms Fresh linens, pillows, blankets, and towels are provided. The main-floor bedroom is especially convenient for guests who prefer not to make repeated trips upstairs, although other areas of this historic home still include steps and uneven flooring. Everything you need for a comfortable stay The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare breakfast before heading out, pack lunches for the beach, or gather everyone for dinner at home. You’ll also have: • Washer and dryer • Fast Wi-Fi • Heating and cooling • Free parking • Self check-in • Family games, toys, and books Explore Alpena Spend your days along Lake Huron, exploring downtown Alpena, swimming at Starlite or Mich-E-Ke-Wis Beach, walking the Bi-Path, fishing, boating, or discovering the shipwreck history of Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary. You’ll be well positioned for favorites including: • Downtown Alpena • Starlite Beach • Mich-E-Ke-Wis Beach • Bay View Park • Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary • Great Lakes Maritime Heritage Center • Alpena Bi-Path • Marinas and boat launches • Local restaurants, breweries, and shops Then come home, let the dog into the fenced yard, challenge someone to an arcade game, and settle in for the night. Historic charm, modern family fun This isn’t a cookie-cutter vacation rental—and that’s exactly the point. It’s an old Alpena home with history, personality, sloped floors, steep stairs, and plenty of character, paired with the conveniences families want today: room for a crowd, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, laundry, Wi-Fi, a fenced yard, and a game room. Come for Lake Huron and Alpena. Stay in a home that feels like part of the story. Guest access 🔑 Guest Access You’ll have full, private access to the entire home during your stay—no shared spaces.
