Old time hospitality. Property is dated but everything you need to be comfortable. Close to Pictured Rocks National Park trails and beach. Loved having a small kitchenette and sofa separated from the bedroom. Nice floor plan. This will be my choice if I get back to Munising.

Beautiful property by the bay. Some of the features could be updated a bit (bathrooms fixtures, add a bathroom fan, better air conditioner, maybe a ceiling fan in living/kitchen area). Overall an enjoyable stay !

Formerly lived in Munising, and to visit family. Knowing this is an older building, I was pleased with the accommodations. Our family of five and pup all had a comfortable place lay our heads. We loved the views of course. Things to note: You won’t find fancy in Munising. Be thankful for the locals making a living and trying to keep up with tourism. E kind to those you meet! Enjoy this place. It’s special!
