family gathering

Everyone in our group truly enjoyed the property. It was clean and well stocked with blankets, towels, dishes, pots and pans. The location was perfect for us. Close to the Co-op, The Pub and the local festivities. As close as it is to town, it still felt private and homeyl We would rent the place again!!!

Close enough to Pictured Rocks

Went with family and friends to hike Pictured Rocks trails. Have stayed at sister property in the past and like the location. It is 20 mins from Munising in a very small town with a coop, bar and great ice cream store. Quiet and easy to relax. Owner is very responsive.

Clean, neat, perfect for our family. Located centrally so we could head to Marquette, and Oswalds Bear Ranch and everywhere in between. We saw Pictured Rocks. Sand point beach, Munising, a shipwreck.

Even better than expected

We stayed here with a group of 10 and the place had everything we needed and more. It was perfect walking distance to the store, bar/restaurant and even ice cream. We visited near by pictured rocks, waterfalls, and even did the riptide ride. This was perfectly located for all these activities. I would highly recommend staying here.

Once again excellent

Excellent place to stay. Spotless. Well equipped kitchen. Only recommendation is to have a crock pot. There was no hand soap or extra garbage bags so had to buy our own. I left them for the next person. Overall we love staying here. It’s right next to trails. Plenty of parking. Owner is accessible if needed. This was our 3rd stay and we definitely will be back again.
