The appliances were quite outdated but we really didn't care. Everything worked fine. It was kind of strange because the second bedroom wasn't available to us. It must have been under construction but we didn't need it. The best part is the location and the view. Just as described and even better. I'm concerned because it doesn't seem to be available to rent in the future. We would love to come back and are hoping it will be available again.
Wonderful and relaxing view of Lake Michigan from the deck and through the large windows.
The house has plenty of room to stretch out . Very well stocked with everything you need.
Private lakefront with stony beach. Excellent, large private yard area. The kitchen and bathroom areas were newly redone and excellent. Beds were clean and comfy and you can hear the lake at night! I would go back for sure.

Clean,quiet and relaxing .
Spacious area with a private beach. The deck was great for watching sunsets and I loved the outside patio in the back. We were packing up the car and the boys(the dogs) turned around to go back to the cottage. They wanted to stay and so did I😀
This cabin was right on the water. The kids & I really enjoyed the water. Water shoes are a must because it is a rocky shore, no sand. Absolutely beautiful views. Cabin was nice & stocked with most essentials. Would note that it was not very clean, many cobwebs, etc. But excellent response when reached out to manager & overall great vacation.
We love this camp! This is our third year staying for a week, and we didn’t want to leave. The cabin is not fancy (orange shag carpet), but the location is wonderful. Beautiful sunsets and a lovely breeze, rocks/beach glass/fossils to pick, trees to hang a hammock, AND they allow dogs! What more do you need? Can’t wait for next year! 👍🌅❤️
My wife and I have never been to this area. We found the house to be excellent and clean. Well equipped kitchen, beautiful deck with water views, check in process was easy and the mgmt company responded to several questions very very quickly.
Grocery shopping at Meijers in Escanaba was a large convenient plus. Ice cream cones for lunch at Garth Gas/Grocery was a treat.
Highly recommended

Lovely Location, Great Layout.It would be a "5 Star" with a Little Maintenance
Really liked the location and view. You are nestled in among some cedars with lots of wildlife around you and centrally located for exploring the Hiawatha National Forest. Kitchen has most everything you need. But the screen door to the deck is a mess, the window in one bedroom isn't there (just the storm), and somethings just need repair/replacing. This gem needs polishing.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Long weekend near family
Location of the property was beautiful on the lakeshore. Inside of the cottage was clean. Comfortable place to stay.
Enjoyed the location, was able to sit on the deck when there was a breeze to keep the bugs away, and enjoy the view.
However, I had brought my dog, of course expected to pick up after him—-rather difficult when the grass was very overgrown. The overgrown grass also contributed to the large number of mosquitoes on and around the patio entrance, which was the entrance we had to use.
Management tried, but was unable to get someone to cut the grass on the holiday weekend. They were very responsive to that and other minor issues.

Great for the price
Not too shabby. A nice place for a reasonable price. The beach was much shorter than we originally thought, but the boys and the dogs had a blast anyway. The cabin was nice and clean, but does have a little bit of that damp smells to it like some other reviewers stated. I'm only taking one star away because there were many dog poops from previous vacationers. I ended up cleaning up after my dogs and then some... Also, there should be an instruction on how to operate the entertainment system. Overly complicated tv set-up with like 5 remotes and a sound system receiver.
