The room is the size of a small apartment with a fireplace, full kitchen and living room. There is also a back porch to sit and look at the stars at night or watch the golfers in day. They also give you a round of golf with each night you stay and have a wonderful restaurant onsite. This was a great place to getaway from the city and recommend to all. They are also known for elk viewing ..which we havent tried yet..but if youre into elk..even more reason to come out this way!! Also- there is a lot of naturey stuff to do in the area..the biggest main city Alpena, is about 20 min away and its right on the lake. There are a lot of trails nearby, biking, swimming and kayaking.

WARNING - Bed Bugs in Duplex 10 at Jacks Landing…read more I want to start by saying I have stayed at Jacks every year for the past 22 years and have always enjoyed our vacations until this year. We mostly stayed in Duplex 10 but have also stayed at the waterfront cabins and Anglers Hideaway. This year we stayed the week of July 6th in Duplex 10. We discovered a bed bug issue towards the end of the week. We started getting red bite marks and waking up to find blood on the sheets. Upon further inspection we discovered live bed bugs and a lot of black/red stains on the box springs of all three beds and evidence on the futon. We immediately notified the management and were extremely disappointed in the response. They said they always clean the rooms and have never seen evidence of bed bugs. The offered us a $150 gift certificate for next year and told us one of the managers was going to the store to get "stuff" to clean it up right away. When we pushed for a full refund they said "they don't know where they came from" insinuating that we brought them with us. This is a very big infestation and not hard to find once we looked closer. All four people who stayed in the cabin had upwards of 50+ bites appear once we were home and started looking closer. We kick ourselves for not inspecting the bed upon arrival but after 22 years you tend to trust a place. I understand that these things happen but the response from the manager was the worst part. She said she had them before and it was not a big deal to get rid of them. They insinuated we brought them. Worst of all I believe they are going to try to "clean" it themselves. From what I read (and I have not read a lot) bed bugs are difficult to eliminate, and my guess is they will continue to be a problem at Jacks. I want to raise awareness to all potential guests at Jack that bed bugs were in Duplex 10 to be very cautious if staying at Jacks Landing

When you pull in you'll notice the camo painted doors and the austereness of the building. It used to be owned by the National Guard and now has been converted to Michigan's largest indoor laser tag. Rightnow, capacity is around 80 people and if you come in a group you'll most likely be divided into two different teams. Picture this, at Laser Team Challenge, you'll literally feel like you are playing a game of Halo in real life. There are obstacles, walls, jails, tents, and stairways to navigate all while you'll be taking on fire and defending or advancing your position. Our newcomers briefing happened inside an old military tent that was set up like a commando's headquarters. Weapons of choice range from smaller handgun styled devices, to large and heavy M-16's. Be prepared to run, duck, and play like you did when you were a kid! This is a great wholesome night of fun for kids to adults alike. If you're looking for a great Saturday night activity with friends or family in Downtown Alpena, this is it. Enjoy!

Booking .... Since I "don't *do* mornings" very well, I…read morebooked a 2PM charter for an old fishing buddy and meself. Capt Steve had the boat ready to go upon our arrival at Presque Isle Harbor .. zero delays in leaving the dock (I'm not frugal, but I hate to be "on the clock" and have to wait while the person that I'm paying gets ready). Here I have to note that due to his busy schedule, the preferred communication method is text messaging. I never had an issue with communications. Fishing .... Less than 30 minutes after departure, the first Lake Huron fish was on the line. During the next couple of hours, we landed our limit of Lake Trout, put one Steelhead in the cooler and caught/released at least 15 other Lake Trout. Clean Up .... Once back on shore it was a short 20-minute drive to the fish cleaning station at the Alpena Marina (no such facility at Presque Isle Harbor .. yet) Now, I have been cleaning fish for over 60 years, and filleting them for at least 25 ... I am an oaf when compared to Capt Steve. He filleted our catch so well that they could have been a centerfold in any fishing magazine - no meat wasted on the bone (the total meat left from our total catch wouldn't have made 2 fishsticks). Then after cleaning and trimming .. our catch was bagged for the trip home. Bottom Line .... Chum Bucket Charters is a solid, well run outfit and I am planning at least one more trip before Fall.
