Vacation in Paradise
We had a wonderful vacation. The cottage was much nicer than the pictures and the ground staff was most helpful in addressing our questions. I did not expect to have to pay renters insurance at booking. A heads up would have been nice.

Family Vacation
This was the perfect location for all of our stay. We ventured all directions and everything was within an hour to an hour and a half drive. It was nice to be able to come back after our adventures and cook a meal and just relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Sue recommended some places for us to visit. She was easy to contact and was willing to provide us additional items for the kitchen if needed. Our family enjoyed our stay.

One of a Kind
The home is beautiful and spectacularly decorated. There is plenty of room and the firepit is very close to the lake giving beautiful views. One thing to note, I don't know if the water level on the lake is low but the water was only knee deep at the end of the dock. My 18' Sea Ray I/O was sitting on the bottom. It would be better for an aluminum boat or smaller boat. The lady who hosts it was wonderful.

The owner, Sue was friendly, helpful and kind. The house was a perfect delight with its antique decor and roominess! When I told Sue that my daughter was celebrating her birthday during our stay she made a beautful arrangement from the flowers she grew on the property which delighted all of us. The view from the deck and firepit were nothing less than spectacular. The location is close enough to both Lake Micigan, Mackinac island, Lake Superior and Taquenamon Falls. Wonderful! I would highly recommend this place to anyone who loves peace and quiet!

Perfect lakeside jump off spot!
The cabin was clean and comfortable and our hostess Sue was very sweet and had good recommendations for places to visit and beaches to rockhound. She has many beautiful antiques and some that she has done a beautiful job restoring. The “animal family” 🐻🐐inside was a little disconcerting at first, but we all got along just fine. Her Lily of the Valleys and Forget Me Nots around the cabin were beautiful! We were very lucky with great weather and beautiful sunsets. Would definitely stay there again.

Nice place but you won’t getting any help from the property manager
The cabin is good has all the amenities need for a northern getaway. The only problem I had was with the property manager. When you contact her she doesn’t reply. I tried contacting her on the last day of our stay and never heard a word back. I had a snowmobile that was parked in front of the cabin that pretty sure was backed into by whoever they hire to plow snow. I just wanted to get in contact with them and and show them the damage. Ended up costing another $1300 to fix. And I still haven’t heard from the property manager.

The cabin was nice and my fiance liked the animals, but I was hoping we could have snowmobiled more. That is not the property owners fault that Mother Nature was uncooperative.

We loved the Upper Peninsula of Michigan; and this lake view home was a great central location to all the tourists spots we wanted to see. Loved Mackinac Island, Picture Rock boat tour, Whitefish Point Lighthouse, Shipwreck Museum and the wonderful Tahquamenon Falls. The fireplace was most welcomed for the couple of chilly nights we spent there!

Delightful UP Cabin
Sue is a lovely host and ensured our stay was everything we hoped for. The lake was a fun play space for our kiddo and had lots of fishing opportunities for dad. Kitchen had everything we needed and a couple things we forgot. It was a great launching point to lots of local attractions. We can’t wait to come back next year!
