Lincoln is a tiny, friendly village in Alcona County (pop. ~300) that makes a comfortable, scenic base for multi‑week contracts — quiet main street, affordable short‑term housing, and easy access to forests, trails and the Lake Huron shoreline for fishing, kayaking and weekend escapes.
Larger hubs within about 30 miles include Alpena (≈28 miles) with museums, waterfront dining, fossils and dark‑sky/outdoor recreation, and Tawas/East Tawas (≈28–29 miles) with beaches, marinas and more weekend amenities, so you won’t feel isolated on extended stays.
