Beautiful property and location.

The property and location is beautiful-even more scenic in person with a special view of the lake from the hilltop. The location is also great to get to Northport in 5 minutes and explore the area easily while having a more remote setting.The property is well stocked with everything you need and the hosts/owners were very helpful and responsive. There is AC in the bedrooms that helped but it can get a bit warm overall on hotter days. Great for a family vacation in northern Michigan. The firepit and sunsets at night were very special!

Wonderful stay in UP Michigan

Cozy and very clean property with great view. Beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Very nice and helpful hosts. We really enjoyed sitting under the starry night skies by the bonfire, looking at the Milky Way for a long time, appreciating the splendors of nature. One of the best properties we've ever stayed. Thank you!

There's a reason we keep coming back

My family has visited this house multiple times. It's just far enough out of town that you have wonderful seclusion and privacy, but only about 5 minutes to the closest grocery store. The sunsets are SPECTACULAR. The house has everything you could want or need. The only small drawback is that there isn't cell service out there, but they do have internet and you can connect to the wifi to make calls. This is one of my favorite homes in which we have stayed on VRBO, hands down. The hosts are GREAT and very responsive. Looking forward to our annual return already!

Wonderful Stay In Northport area

This place was AMAZING. The sunsets were breathtaking. The hosts were super great people who went out of their way to help us with any little need. The house has ANYTHING you need, and it is very well laid out. The knives were sharp, the kitchen was well stocked with dishes and anything you'd need to make a nice meal. But the key to this place is the views. Truly, a wonderful place. We look forward to returning next year!
