We stayed here with our chocolate lab. Mike greeted us when we arrived and was very informative about things to do and see close by. Very nice people and accommodating. Would highly recommend
Great area to see the stars and northern lights . Very quiet area not far from hiking and fishing . The area is surrounded with state land and very close to the Sturgeon
river to provide kayaking and canoeing . The cabin provided a great base camp for our bear hunt.
We loved our stay here. Our younger ones are already planning a return trip! Location is in middle of the woods, is quiet, and, gorgeous. Close to hiking trails and towns. We made the drive up to Houghton, to see Lake Superior and is a pretty drive.
My husband and I (and our two dogs) stayed here while visiting family and exploring the Keweenaw peninsula. It was perfect for us. And the owners left us a carton of fresh eggs which we appreciated immensely. The area was quiet and peaceful. Just as we hoped.
We always try to stay somewhere that is economical, quiet and safe in terms of the neighborhood. This location provided all three and we were welcomed with our exuberant labs. Slept with the windows open and enjoyed fresh eggs from Mike's flock. What.more could you expect? We'll be back.
My brother, his wife and I stayed here in September along with their doggos. The cabin was just as it is in the pictures listed. We had everything we needed to make the few meals we ate at there. Great eggs for breakfast!
The owners are great with communication, and when we got there, Mike shared a few suggestions for places to checkout that were in the area. We took him up on those suggestions and enjoyed a few hikes nearby and one easily accessible beautiful view.
This is an AMAZING property! We would absolutely stay here again.

Nice setting but dirty
The cabin is in a nice setting, but was not clean. We seriously had to wash all the dishes, silverware (clean out drawers), stove, refrigerator, floors, under beds, not because we're just fussy. It was bad.
Linens on beds were clean. Owner was very friendly and kind.

The owners are amazing! So welcoming and helpful with questions about the area. Will definetly be going back and telling people how great it was.
This was the weekend to be in the UP the Fall colors were amazing. This was the place to be-the route to get here once in Baraga was gorgeous. We enjoyed the cabin and our hoists were great! Very accommodating and welcomed us
To a campfire and to watch the northern lights.
This place was great and spacious. The location is perfect for snowmobilers who are looking to all of the western UP. Plenty of parking on the property and super easy ride in and ride out trail access. Our hosts were extremely friendly, accommodating and excellent communicators. Will be coming back here for sure!
We stayed 7 nights and it was absolutely amazing! Mike and Kris are the best property owners that I've ever met! They both are just down to earth and so easy to talk to. Kris let me give their chickens some treats too! I learned a lot about the area and some awesome sight seeing locations nearby from them as well! The cabins were very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. I will definitely rent from them again for my next trip to the UP! I highly recommend this location and property! Michele
We stayed here for two nights. The place is definitely off the beaten path and we liked it. Just be aware that the unpaved road is a little rough this time of year. We met the owner Mike not long after checking in and he was a really nice guy. I might try to come back during deer hunting (bow) season.
The property and owners were great. There was plenty of room and it's easy to get to. We had beautiful weather during our stay which was a bonus. Love that there was WiFi and a Smart TV.
