My husband wanted to take me on a nice vacation for my Birthday, and we had a lot of fun staying in this cabin. Everything was clean and well taken care of. We had everything we needed. The sun coming up in the morning was beautiful and we also enjoyed the kayaks. Overall, we had an amazing stay and will return.

Great cabin for a getaway to explore the UP! We enjoyed kayaking and a paddle boat, along with a great fire pit and provided wood! The host was easy to contact for any questions and provided a great stay with all the amenities. We had hoped for better fishing, but our only catch was a 36 inch Northern right by the dock!

There are numerous hiking trails in the vicinity and nearby, along with many activities available within a short distance of the cabin.

This beats staying in a hotel any day. The cabin was perfect, clean, and had everything available that you would need. We just needed to bring clothes and food. Stacy and Carl were wonderful hosts! We had a plumbing issue our first night but they were promt in their response to fix the issue. My kids had a blast with the kayaks and loved having a fire every night.

Great stay Memories made!

Traveling with 3 adults, 3 kids 1-13 and 2 dogs and we all fit. Cottage was very clean, air conditioner worked wonderfully and communication with the host was prompt. The kids loved the fishing, kayaks and paddle boats. The neighbors were great and very friendly. I highly recommend Van Cleve park and Gladstone beach if your traveling with kids. Even the neighborhood dog “Gus” was welcoming

Charming little cottage just a short distance from the water. We enjoyed a morning of kayaking and then checked out the local lighthouses. Exploring Escanaba was on our afternoon agenda. Great lttle town! Spent the evening at the cottage. The place offered us everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The front porch was a nice place to hang out before the sun set. The place was very clean and set up to meet all of our needs. Excellent communication with our hostess when I had questions. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

Fun Week!

We had a pretty good week considering the weather wasn’t the best. The cabin was small but it was all we needed! It was clean, well stocked, and right on the water! The only downside was the water was a bit shallow so it wasn’t ideal for our 20 ft deep V Ranger boat to get to the dock. It was also a bit of a struggle to find a place to put the trailer once we did get the boat in. However, the neighbors are quite nice and allowed us to use their area. Other than that, we had a great time and caught a few fish! It was also nice to meet Stacey in person as we don’t usually know who we are renting from!! Thanks again Stacey!

We got to kayak for the first time that was so fun and the water there and the areas just so beautiful! The moon was huge and full. It was a pleasant view while sitting next to the bonfire!!!

Nasty Water

While the cottage was cute and clean, the water inside was nasty and rusty smelling! Shower was too small, kept bumping arms on walls. Couldn’t fish from the docks, too shallow lots of seaweed and reeds. Overall, is was a beautiful view everyday.

Wewould have liked to do more boating but instead we played tourist more than we usually do. Found some great restaurants, visited a dispensary for the first time. Checked the art scene (it's minimal) Our host Stacy was pleasant and responsive. We usually go to different places year to year but may have to re-think it.
