I would love to come back in the summer. It is right on the water and downtown Alpena seems like it has cute shops in the summer. Just be prepared to bring every spice, oil, and leftover containers yoi need.
We stayed on one coldest weekends to attend a fishing tournament. The kitchen and living area was always freezings. While the bedrooms got so hot, we were sweating. The host was amazing though. Quick to respond and very kind.
