Great getaway

A very cozy and simple place, with a very low maintenance check in/out process. It was nice to be away from a crowded area, but also a close distance to a grocery store. We enjoyed our stay!

Comfortable Getaway Near the Lake

My husband and I enjoyed our stay here for a long weekend. The bed is comfortable and overall it was a positive experience. Apparently I did not read the listing closely enough and I did NOT realize there is no WiFi available here, so that is just something to keep in mind. The location is great, we were walking distance from the L lakes and we had a great time.

Such an adorable place, be prepared for no wifi although when booking you will receive a message to contact the owner for WiFi there is none. Amenities were nice, plenty of sleeping rooms. Lots to do in the area.

Nice, clean and nice location

Property was very nice and clean. Only thing to be aware of is that there is one queen bed and then twin bunk beds. Listing gave the impression of two queen/double, but one is a fold out couch. Very nice place though!

Perfect Little Getaway Spot

It was a perfect place for our family to unplug and unwind. Check in was a breeze and everything was as advertised. We have AT&T cell phones and reception was limited. There is also no WiFi. We loved it! We played games and just hung out as a family.

Very secluded and up to date cabin close to everything! Owners was very responsive and accommodating! Highly highly recommend. The stars at night was phenomenal to see! Not too many bug either which was surprising being surrounded by woods. Will look to book again in the future!

Adorable Cottage

House was clean and comfortable. I would note that the bunk beds are twin beds, as we assumed they would be queen sized based on the description of how many the house would accommodate. I would say 3 adults or 2 adults with 2 children would work best. House was cozy and easy to find; set back from the highway for privacy and a beautiful property. Owners are so kind and easy to communicate with. We would stay again!

Perfect Baldwin Getaway

We've stayed here before and we were happy to return. Clean, comfortable, updated & modern yet keeps the cabin "feel". Well stocked. Nice large lot, privacy, room to enjoy the outdoors. Cellular data service in the area seemed minimal so remember to download whatever you may need. You are up North, so enjoy the great outdoors. Phone and text worked fine. Perfectly located to the canoe/kayak rental and grocery store. We like to kayak the Pere Marquette at least once a year and would definitely stay here again.

Really nice location and experience but would be great if it had internet

Everything was great and very relaxing. Close to Pere Marquette river and only a little over 40 minutes to Lake Michigan. Very cozy and nice wooded lot. Absolutely zero cell phone reception so would be nice if internet was provided so my partner could work remotely without having to go to Baldwin library. However, if this is not a problem and you want to go off grid, it is a very nice place. Also, would be good to have printed directions for checkout as we were unsure of what exactly was expected as get a stripping bed or starting laundry. Thanks for the relaxing vacation!
