Welcome to La Casita! Your Peaceful Retreat in the Woods!
Just 8 minutes from Munising and 20 minutes from Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, La Casita is the peaceful retreat you've been dreaming of! Surrounded by 11.5 acres of whispering trees and set on a quiet, spring-fed lake, this warm and welcoming timber-frame home is all about slowing down, unplugging (but yes, there's WiFi!), and soaking in the beauty of nature. This stunning 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home is full of thoughtful touches! The open main floor is bright and airy with big windows, a cozy fireplace, and a kitchen that's ready for anything! The primary suite has It's own door to the deck, perfect for sneaking out to stargaze. Upstairs, you'll find two more charming bedrooms with a shared full bath and a cozy loft space! Downstairs? Game night central! There's a reclining sofa, a big-screen TV, a ping pong table, and plenty of room to hang out! You will also find a full bathroom, plus a spacious laundry area to keep everyone fresh after a long day of adventuring! Outside, the magic continues. You can paddle the day away with one of the four kayaks available, swim in the clear water, or cast a line for some catch-and-release bass fishing. There is a big deck out back with space to grill, dine, and lounge! La Casita is a place to make memories, breathe deeply, and feel truly at home in nature. We'd love to have you- and hope you'll come back year after year!

Beautiful spacious home in a beautiful setting. And, as a bonus, it was peak season for leaf color. I love the attention to detail that helps make this such an outstanding place to stay (e.g. nightlights). Great communication as well.

Beautiful setting in the woods and on the lake. This is a clean, very well-built home. Lake is a five minute hike down a somewhat steep hill. Home is well equipped and owners were very responsive. Greta location for visiting Pictured Rocks and enjoying the quiet.

Our family loved this cabin! We enjoyed the beautiful open indoor space, the large jetted bathtub, and the wrap-around deck looking out into the woods. The only issue we had was that the wi-fi didn’t work on the deck. We brought our ATV and took advantage of the nearby state forest trails.

Beautiful home!

So enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home! The setting in the woods on a lake was just perfect. The house was homey, clean and had everything needed for our stay. We really enjoyed using the pizza oven. Lisa was great with communication, answering questions, and checked in with us before and during our stay. We can't wait to come back again to this gem in the woods in our favorite place in the UP!

Very remote house offering quiet getaway. No A/C was a challenge as the weather for August was much warmer than usual. However, that was the only negative. The house is beautiful, easily slept 4 adults and 2 kids, the private lake was filled with small mouth bass to catch & release, the beds were nice and firm, kitchen was filled with everything you need to cook, wifi was strong. Lovely house!

Awesome cabin!

We had a blast in the UP! The cabin was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. We enjoyed kayaking and fishing on the lake (very private, seemed like just us and nature). The ping pong table was thoroughly enjoyed, as was the ample space inside and outside the cabin.

Peaceful Retreat

Beautiful home in a peaceful and relaxing setting. Close enough to all the things to do in Munising but far enough away to relax in nature. The small secluded lake offered great fishing, swimming and canoeing / kayaking. This unique timber peg built home left us in awe. They just don't build them like that any more. The wrap around deck is amazing. Our family connected like never before. The best choice of place to stay we have ever made. I hope to visit again maybe in the fall.

Gorgeous cabin in the woods

This home was perfect for our large family ranging in ages from 24 to 8. The property offers complete privacy and breathtaking views of nature. You feel like you are in a giant tree house. Our entire family enjoyed the kayaks on the private lake, the bonfire pit and the ping pong table in the basement. The house was very clean and well taken care of. Convenient location close to all of the things we were looking to do in the area. Our family all agreed we would like to come back again soon :)

Escape the hustle & bustle!

My family and I stayed at La Casita for a long weekend to celebrate our anniversary. When we arrived Lisa had left a delicious loaf of local bread and jam as a anniversary gift! Thank you again! The location is very quiet and remote yet really very conveniently located and easy to get to many trails, outlooks, waterfalls, etc. The cabin itself was super clean, cozy, well stocked, and well decorated. The luxury appliances, the pizza oven, and the heated tile were a great addition to the experience. The deck is HUGE. My kids loved catching fish (all bass) and paddling around the lake with not a soul in sight. We would definitely love to come back!

Great getaway

This was a wonderful house for our family of 7. It was peaceful and serene and a quick trip from Munising, which was perfect for quick access to hiking, kayak tours, etc. We enjoyed being able to utilize the kitchen for breakfast and packing lunches. There isn’t a shower in the master suite, only a tub, but with two other showers in the house it was an easy pivot. Plus, after a long day of hiking the bath was a nice way to end the day. We will definitely consider renting here again for our next trip to beautiful Munising.
