Great place to stay

Overall it was a great place to stay. Even with rain we were able to have a good time as a family. The bedrooms are smaller than you would generally expect but the cabin was good and fairly well setup.

Very cute cabin. Nice and quiet area. Lots of space for our family - the kids likes all the beds. My only complaint is that I wish they had shoveled the drive way. We got in later so maybe it had been but it was a pain to have to shovel our way into the house from the driveway area. Otherwise they had lots of everyday things that many forget on trips so that was a bonus.

The property was very nice. Everything you could possible need was there. The weather however prevented us from enjoying any water activities. Or having a fire in the evening. But that’s life in the UP!!

Beautiful cabin right on the lake.

Just stayed two nights. rented a canoe from a place up the highway as there is no boat on the property. lake is beautiful but had minimal success fishing. everything you may need is included and there is plenty of room inside and out. would highly recommend this property if you want to be on the water. took one day and went to Pictured Rocks which is not too far

Deer Hunting

This property would seem to work better for families with small children. We were a 'all adult' group and the bedrooms were very small. No closets for storage. In the upstairs bathroom, i noticed dirt in the corners next to the heat register. The dryer and dishwasher running at the same time would trigger the circuit breaker to go off. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and supplies. Maybe a door on the downstairs bedroom and laundry room. Jim & Gilda Chie

Family Fun

Our family had a great time at the cabin. The kitchen and living area is spacious with beautiful windows looking over the lake. Lots of beds for a large group of people. Around the dock the water is shallow and sandy. It was absolutely perfect for our little kids. The water is crystal clear. We had so much fun wading around catching minnows. The provided kayaks and swim pad were perfect for everyone. We had a great time fishing and swimming all weekend long.
