Family Vacation

We had the best time in the UP! The cabin was beautiful and the location was more than I could’ve ever hoped for. I feel completely refreshed and my husband is already begging for another visit to this property in the fall.

Our Wilderness Retreat

Our third stay. Can’t say enough good things about the home and location. An Eagle flew overhead when we were getting in the car to leave. A spiritual end to another fulfilling stay.

The property is exactly as advertised. It's well equipped and very comfortable. The location is surprisingly easy to find and about as tranquil as can be. I plan on booking again next fall if at all possible.

Slice of heaven

This property is so beautiful. Perfect getaway for rest and relaxation. Beautiful setting surrounded by nature. Trees, river, wildlife. I believe there are more deer and turkey in the area than people! Deer came.into the yard daily to snack on apples. The cottage itself is very clean, comfortable and accommodating. We had a fire every night

Stunning place!

House was perfect. Furnished beautifully, amenities all up to date and functioning. Location is truly stunning with incredible views of the river. The SOUND of the river was really remarkable. Very soothing and continuous. Outstanding trout fishing upstream and down from the house. Wading can be very tricky when the water is high, but when it’s low, this house is truly a fly fishers dream. We will be back!!

Must stay

I didn’t want to come back home. Listening to the constant river flow and nature was absolute peace. The cabin had more than everything I needed, very cozy and clean. Going into town was very interesting, a lot of history to learn. Make Rosie’s diner a must stop for breakfast or lunch. Bob and Nancy were fantastic, knowledgeable and great conversation. I hope to come back again. If you’re hesitant on booking, this is your sign to just book it.

Wilderness Retreat

This home is our go to spot for a wilderness retreat. Modern, solid, well equipped and situated on a beautiful river in a setting that is away from it all. The sounds of the river and wildlife really make you forget what you left behind. Throughout our travels to the home we have seen bear and deer. At the home we have had deer moving in and out of the yard as if we weren’t sitting out there. Eagles, the wolves in the distance at night, world class trout fishing and satellite tv! What more could you want?! I LOVE this place!
