Lovely and cozy cabin with beautiful views of the water, and quiet! Provided lots of ideas to keep people busy, if we had more time there we definitely would have looked through them, no way to get bored there! Only issue was with check in. About a week or so prior, I confirmed with host to check in a few hours early, and received a confirmation message with the door code and time being 1pm. Unfortunately the cleaning crew had just arrived at that time, and we had not been notified of any changes to check in time. We were able to leave cold groceries in the fridge prior to leaving to a get together. Once we got back to the cabin, everything else ran smoothly. Would definitely stay here again!

We had an amazing experience throughout- from pre-arrival communications to host responsiveness.The location was ideal, though our family found the cottage a bit cozy.It did get a bit warm overnight, which the provided fans helped with. The window AC was doing its best.We appreciated the cleanliness of the stay, as well as the little touches such as s’mores ingredients and bug spray in the bathroom.I would highly recommend staying here.

A little unclean. Oven needs cleaning, smoked when used (filled the room). Grill needs cleaning. Bathroom needed a little cleaning when we first arrived. Could not find life jackets. TV in bedroom had trouble sinking with Roku, needed a few tries each time, it did always work eventually. We would love to stay again. Stacy is very nice. She came right over to change battery in smoke alarm when it alerted it was needed.

Brought niece and her 2 teens to visit family in Gladstone. 12 yo nephew LOVED fishing!! Everyone went out in kayaks, paddleboat, and played yard games. Exceptionally clean and stocked with what we needed. Reached out to owners for a couple questions and they replied immediately. Definitely recommend this place.

Perfect little spot

We rented this cabin for a 4 day weekend so we could quickly get to Escanaba for my 7 year old to play hockey. It was perfect for our family of 4. We also thought it would be cool to access Little Bay De Noc easily for ice fishing. It was absolutely perfect for this. We caught walleye and perch just out front on the 2nd reef. We would definitely stay again and will be recommending our friends with small family’s as well.
