Wonderful winter weekend

Our second time visiting this cabin left us just as impressed as the first. There was plenty of room for our families of 4 and 5, with our pooch. Kids and adults alike greatly enjoyed playing outside in the woods.

Family Getaway

This was a beautiful, secluded place for a family getaway. The cabin was well-appointed with everything we'd expect and then some. We particularly enjoyed sharing the property with all of the deer! The park and beach in nearby Gladstone was a big hit with the children. and beachand beach at

Great place in the woods!

What a great place to get away from it all and just relax. Great place with plenty of room and wildlife outside. Only recommendation to other bookings, follow the directions to the place from the host, do not use GPS to get to the cabin. Thank you again for a great stay!

Cute cabin

This cute cabin is set in the middle of a very private wooded area. The hosts were extremely nice and helpful. It is also close enough to town for quick trips. It is a little confusing finding the place but we'll worth the trip.

Amazing Vacation

The property was amazing. So clean and cozy. If was big enough for our large family and the grounds were amazing. The owner was nice enough to show us his quarry and drilled holes for us to ice fishing. It was amazing will be coming back.

Wonderful place! Everything was exactly as described. The cabin was perfect for 5 teenage girls and two adults. We had a good balance of “chilling out” and taking in the UP. There was plenty of space for the girls to spread out. The location was perfect - just over an hour to Pictured Rocks and less than 20 minutes to the beaches in Gladstone and Escanaba. Communicating with the host was easy and mostly unnecessary. We had one issue with a wasp nest that was addressed very quickly. Detailed directions provided were perfect (especially because the trek back to the cabin is a little different). If we find ourselves in the Escanaba area again, we would definitely consider staying here.

We loved staying in the cabin! It was rustic and beautifully furnished and decorated. The quiet and scenic property was a pleasure to wake up to. It was about 15 minutes to Escanaba or Gladstone. There were 3 TVs, and had good Wi-Fi. We saw turkeys, deer, 4 different squirrels, and a bear from a distance. I highly recommend this cabin!

Myself and 8 women stayed the weekend! We had a great time!

The property was a bit tricky to find, however, once there it was wonderful! Huge fire pit, plenty of sleeping room and kitchen was fully stocked with pans, basic spices, and dishes. Owners/managers are easy to work with and very timely in any responses. Cabin was clean. We already booked our next trip!

Amazing and Secluded

It was just what we were looking for! We came to see the sights and fall colors and the best colors were actually at the cabin. We enjoyed time there and were able to keep all three kids as well as the adults entertained on the day we had starting late due to rain. The cabin was the cleanest place that we have rented. Dave and Mary were very responsive and on top of everything!

Up North Cabin with all Amenities!

Booked for a friends and family weekend! 4 adults and 5 kiddos under 5 yrs old. The cabin is spacious for large groups with great hiking in the area. We loved the bonfire set up and how relaxing the living room was. Bummed that mother nature didn't have snow in February but I'd imagine that this place would be GREAT for snow adventures and hunting!
