Cabin Relaxin
The cabin was perfect and very nice! Owners Dan and Sandy made sure to be available and accomodating if we needed anything during our Holiday stay over Thanksgiving. The views of the bay were amazing! Will definitely be back!

The Perfect Send Off Retreat!
This was such a wonderful experience for our family to send off our incoming college freshmen at Michigan Tech. The accommodations were wonderful and the pavilion area is just spectacular with fun activities to keep everyone busy like kayaking, paddle boarding, sitting by the fire or cooking up a gourmet feast in the well appointed and beautiful kitchen. We shared it with another group we didn’t know and there was room for all. A wonderful experience! Thanks Sandy!

Great place with lots of room and beauty
We gathered for a family wedding! We wanted to be together rather than separate hotel rooms. We still all had our own room/space but we got to share lots of time togeher. It's a great space for a big group. And Sandy couldn't have been nicer about communicating and answering our questions! We'd love to come back!!

MI Tech Graduation Celebration with family
This was the perfect place to stay for our family. Lots of room for everyone to play, gather, eat, visit until the early hours, laugh, and celebrate. We were close enough to get to the college, access sledding hills, and hike to beautiful waterfalls. This cozy home was stocked with so many things that made our stay extra special. Thank you so much Karen! We love the UP. Hope to stay with you again!
