Fabulous week up north

We've stayed in this cabin before and it is always well kept. Enjoyed a week of incredible weather, very good fishing, a nice campfire, and peace. Not to mention good food and a cocktail or two. Highly recommend this place for a couple or a small family.

We enjoyed our stay at the property. We put our boat in at the landing a couple miles away and were able to leave our boat tied up right outside the cabin. It was quiet and neighbors were friendly. The cabin is very well maintained along with the property. We hope to be back next year.

Beautiful and comfortable cottage on a beautiful and relaxing property. Enjoyed fishing off the pier, kayaking (sit on top kayaks), and slept wonderfully. Even able to capture some photos of the northern lights. Would gladly return in the future.

Excellent Property for Boating and Fishing

Everything went seamlessly with our rental from check in to check out. The decor of this cabin is updated and very pleasant. We were very comfortable for space even with five people.

Beautiful serene getaway

The cottage was so cozy and the perfect place for the last leg of our honeymoon. The fall colors on the lake were absolutely gorgeous! Everything was very clean and the living area and kitchen were spacious. Will be back!

All the adjectives…Beautiful, Peaceful, Amazing!

Honestly, this is the best cabin we’ve ever stayed in. Everything was updated and beautiful. The setting was serene, quiet, and had a wonderful lake view. Very attentive & friendly host! We did not lack for anything, and we were very lucky, to view the northern lights right outside of our door, shining over the lake! 💕

Great Cabin for your stay

This was a perfect spot for our long weekend getaway. Very clean comfortable cabin with everything that we needed. Great location on the lake. Thanks for having bumpers on your dock and poles to tie up our boat. Most places do not consider that. The fishing was really good and a nice fire pit to come back to after fishing all day to enjoy the evening. We would love to come back. We had a great time there.

Great lake cabin

Cabin was very comfortable and clean. Great view of the lake, with access to the water from beach or pier. We had a nice time canoeing on the lake and doing some casual fishing from the pier. The location is an easy drive to Eagle River and Land o Lakes for groceries, restaurants, etc. Also accessible to Bond Falls (UP MI), Blackjack Springs (Phelps), and Porcupine Mountains for hiking. Overall a great stay. Cabin is

I have nothing but good things to say. It’s a great cabin with everything that we needed. Beds were large and comfy. Owners were very helpful and incredible to work with. Steps away from the lake with a great view. I hope to go back soon.

Parents getaway

My husband and i stayed here for a long weekend. It was bliss. We rode 450 miles in Wisconsin and Michigan on our UTV (trails are accessible from the cabin), fished, had a campfire and enjoyed local restaurants. The cabin was clean and comfortable.

Wonderful Week

Owners were extremely welcoming and helpful. They answered all questions and provided great places to eat. They also gave helpful information about the lake and fishing spots. The cabin itself was clean, furnished nicely and comfy for a relaxing stay. Kitchen had all things needed and then some. Peaceful and quiet. It was a wonderful week and we will definitely return.

Amazing place. Super clean and updated. Location is awesome. The owners happened to be in the place just up the hill when we arrived. They introduced themselves and made sure we felt at home. The neighbor and his dogs made sure to say hi. Very welcoming group. Our 2 kids loved their space with the bunk beds. The living room is spacious and comfy. Kitchen outfitted with everything we needed and more. The deck was perfect for morning coffees and evening cocktails. We don't fish hard, but found a good mix of panfish for our freezer. Handful of walleye, pike and bass, also. The lake is beautiful. Hoping to return.

Relaxing Stay

Cute little cottage - enjoyed our stay. The only thing I missed in the listing is that bath towels are not provided, so we had to go out and buy some. For the rate charged that should be included. But other than that they have everything you need. Location was great, dock for our boat, close to many amenities.
