Escanaba River Gem

Our family of four stayed here for about a week and enjoyed the property, especially the location. It was quiet and serene with a spectacular view of the river and surrounding forest. At night, we took advantage of the deck to gaze at the night sky. Day trips to Munising, Marquette and Escanaba added to our adventures. Would stay here again!

Very spacious. The view was spectacular! The kitchen was a little small. Even 2 people in the kitchen was a little much at times.There is limited to no cell phone reception outside the house (once connected to the host wifi) but we enjoyed being unplugged and played games every night we were home.

Great fishing cabin

Overall had an enjoyable stay for our fishing trip. Location was great and cabin was comfortable. The property is going through an ownership transition which may have attributed to some inconveniences we had. We had to reach out to the property manager via phone to get check in instructions as emails/vrbo messages went unnoticed. Additionally, the WiFi during our stay was not working. The purpose of our trip was to get off the grid and enjoy fishing, however, were hoping for WiFi to keep in touch with loved ones (no Verizon cell service) as well as some remote work.
