Great place with smazing views
The place was great with amazing views of Lake Michigan. It was clean with lots of thoughtful amenities. Couldn’t get the Sirius Radio to work, but owner called and showed me what I was doing wrong. TV was broken, but owner said he didn’t know that previously, not a big deal for us though. I did read reviews of spiders. While I didn’t see any inside, we did notice many on the outdide furniture and beach area. The beach itself is sandy and nice, but you will have a hard time going swimming as the waters were loaded with jagged rocks. Checkout requires trash taken out, dishes washed, linens removed and towels thrown in tub as well as outdoor furniture returned to original location. Beds were comfortable.

Best secret hideaway!
Our stay here was magical. We had a private beach for the kids, kayaks to explore with, and we only ever saw one other person. Very off the beaten path, but perfect for making family memories, and the lack of internet was actually a plus in my opinion! There were lots of spiders as others have commented, but they were 99% outside and I will take them for the seclusion this property provided. Owner was the appropriate level of communicative and was quick to respond to questions. Will absolutely be coming back!

Incredible beachfront home!
The pictures of this home are completely accurate! The beach was amazing and we walked the beach every day. The house is beautifully decorated and has lots to make you comfortable. There was no Wi-Fi but we had decent reception on our phones to text and make calls, as needed. Our only issue was the number of spiders around the home; a few inside but lots outside. We get that it's hard to keep them away but just so those who have spider issues should be aware. The weather wasn't always cooperative during our stay but the DVD player was a help along with the big windows to watch the rain.

Perfect balance of North Woods and Beach Vacation
We loved our stay at the property. We had so much fun playing in Lake Michigan and relaxing on the beach. We took a day trip up to kayak on Lake Superior to see the Pictured Rocks, which were absolutely breathtaking. Other than that we loved just staying at the cabin and enjoying the outdoors. The Upper Crust Deli in town was a great place to grab for breakfast or lunch. We highly recommend this cabin if you are looking for a quiet getaway.

Didn't want to leave. Can't wait to go back!
The house and property were in great condition and well cared for. Linens, dishes, etc. provided were plentiful and nice quality. I missed in the listing that there isn't AC or a dishwasher. Not deal breakers though as weather was pretty cool. Just one warm day/evening to get through and it was good for our teens to learn what it's like to hand wash all the dishes. Directions could have been a bit more detailed (go this many miles past turn/sign, you'll pass many turn offs but they're driveways, look for blue house number signs, etc.) but if you just keep going on the very long dirt/gravel road you'll eventually get there. Once you get to actual house it's easy to locate. Only issue with house was gap between deck and doors as our dog got his leg wedged in that gap second time going into the house. A few tense moments but we were able to free him without harm. We placed a boot mat over gap while we were there, but it might be nice to have something more permanent placed at the doorways to cover the gap. Overall, the property was truly wonderful! The home was nicely laid out with lots of amenities, owner was responsive and helpful, and the scenery is impossible to beat. We didn't want to leave, and we can't wait to return!
