Peaceful, comfortable stay

We loved the view and peaceful setting (stayed in October). We found the home very well equipped to make our stay comfortable. We had 3 teens, two parents, and a 1 yr old in pack n play. Teens loved being able to kayak on the lake. We would come again.

UP Falls and Color Tour

Owners, Robin and Jim, were quite accommodating when we got there, no power due to a downed power line. Next day, toilet broke they went got parts fixed before we returned from hiking. Amazing views with a quirky bedroom layout. Loved the two seated path to a bath. Wish had more time to enjoy! !potty.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Really great rental, as advertised. Quiet, good wildlife in the area. The kitchen was well stocked, all the windows operated well. All the water toys were in good shape, we brought fishing gear we didn't need.I would download offline maps if you use google maps, the cell service is lacking but google maps gets you right to the house if you've downloaded.We brought drinking water as the other reviews explained the well water - and they were correct.I would stay again - loved the remote location.

Great, secluded house

The house was clean, spacious and had all the amenities for a no hassle stay. The only problem I experienced was that the property manager tried sending me paperwork and it wouldn't come through. We had a blast and would definitely stay in the house again. I can't wait until our next visit!

Beautiful lake!!It was a good location for us! The water smell is a bit strong but was warned by owner in description so we were prepared for that. Plenty of everything we needed including coffee pods, towels, linens, etc. Very nice relaxing cabin! I would recommend! Also, rental company was very responsive after informing them that we had not gotten email with door code. The lady at rental company immediately emailed us the info.

Great Place!!!!

Great place, despite a visit from a mouse! Lol The cabin was very clean, it had everything we needed, except for mouse traps and it could've used a few more fans. My kids loved using the kayaks and fishing poles! We were close to town and spent a lot of much needed family time and got to relax. The owners were very nice when they came out about the break in. We definitely want to rent this cabin again next Summer! Really great experience!

Nice UP Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We brought our friends and family to this nice quiet cottage. To get to one of the queen beds, you must go through one of the bedrooms. It does have a folding door between the two. The lake was wonderful and very close to Munising to do all the tourist activities in town. I highly recommend Main Street Pizza in town (if they are open, staffing shortages). I would recommend this cottage for your UP stay! Four out of Five stars! Lovely view, nice facilities but whomever was there last did not do a very good job washing the dishes. Otherwise everything was clean and I was highly satisfied.

Comfortable and Convenient

The setting is very nice, as it's situated on a small lake. Watching the sun light up the water and/or morning mist from the living room was very nice. The house was spacious enough for the two or us, and conveniently located to places we wanted to visit. The only problem we experienced was with mice. The property managers were informed about the issue and placed traps in the property, which caught one of the mice. Another mouse was seen in the house on the last day of our stay after this one was removed, but the property managers assured me they would continue to work on correcting the problem. I trust that they were able to revolve this. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay here.
