Adventures in the Northwoods

Our cottage is a base camp from which you can enjoy the beauty of the northwoods in Upper Peninsula Michigan. Plan your summer get-away fishing, kayaking, canoeing, or ATVing. Venture out to view the numerous waterfalls, hike the Ottawa National Forest or Sylvania Wilderness, drive through the Keweenaw peninsula or tour Pictured Rocks. Autumn is the time to take fall color tours: Black River and the Porcupine Mountain as well as hunting. In the winter, snowmobile, ice fish, downhill or cross-country ski, snowshoe and hike. The UP and all its wonders are awaiting you.

Watersmeet Cottage

Quaint cottage in the woods ... quiet and secluded. Had everything we needed to make this trip up north comfortable. We stayed here while working on my parents house getting it ready to sell. Would have gladly stayed longer, if the dates would have been available for our entire trip. There are not a lot of available restaurants locally, but that is typical for areas in the UP - not a knock, just a heads up if you're not familiar with the area. Great communications with the hosts before and during the stay. Would definitely stay again, when in the area on vacation. One small word of caution on the road leading to the cottage, there are aggregate trucks using the road during normal business hours, so just be aware.

Ali & John are great hosts. Notified us of extra traffic on the property road (which was not an issue). Cabin is super clean and quiet. Thankfully she let me take some of her beautiful yellow flowers growing out front home to Tn.

Perfect fishing trip headquarters.

Because the property is located less than a mile from the intersection of 45 and 2 it makes all local fishing easily accessible. The home is clean and well maintained. The owners offer great support, plentiful towels, a good TV channel selection, and complimentary coffee. The driveway has an entrance and exit making boat parking easy. While one can occasionally hear some road noise it is minimal. I could go on but suffice to say, I plan on renting the property again as it suits all of my needs and more.

Beautiful and comfortable woodland cabin

We had a fantastic stay in this cozy cabin. Location is perfect and we were able to ski every day at Brule, have dinner in Land o lakes, swim at the Gateway, and hike to amazing waterfalls. The owners are so kind and flexible. The house had everything our family needed for a great trip at a very affordable price. We look forward to staying here again.
