About the host

Hosted by Charlie and Shelly Sullivan

We have been hosting on VRBO for 7 years. We rented out our lake home until we retired and moved in ourselves. When the property two doors down came up for sale, we jumped at the opportunity to host again! We love sharing this paradise with people from all over the world!

Why they chose this property

Our rental is very centrally located in the Upper Peninsula, giving you the opportunity for day trips from Munising to Copper Harbor. Or, simply relax watching the birds or taking a kayak trip down the river. We will continue our 5 Star service to this new rental property.

What makes this property unique

We have hosted a wide variety of ages and interests, from avid hikers to avid bird watchers. From birth to old age, you will surely enjoy the UP and our cabin.
