Cute cabin! Very clean and had all kitchen amenities we needed. They kindly accommodated our dog and had outdoor grill and fire pit cooking options which made our stay very enjoyable.
We had a fabulous time, highly recommend to anyone who loves the water and wants to relax.
The cabin was really nice, it had everything we needed. We were close to the water and got to fish, go kayaking and paddle-boating. We didn't want to leave, had a great time.
Great cabin for a getaway to explore the UP! We enjoyed kayaking and a paddle boat, along with a great fire pit and provided wood! The host was easy to contact for any questions and provided a great stay with all the amenities. We had hoped for better fishing, but our only catch was a 36 inch Northern right by the dock!
My husband wanted to take me on a nice vacation for my Birthday, and we had a lot of fun staying in this cabin. Everything was clean and well taken care of. We had everything we needed. The sun coming up in the morning was beautiful and we also enjoyed the kayaks. Overall, we had an amazing stay and will return.
Our stay was awesome. We met up with family during the day and early evening eating smores by the fire pit.The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
It was great, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!Everything was exactly as described, right on the water, and equipped with all the necessary amenities.The Wi-Fi was excellent, especially when phone reception was not at its best.It is a lovely little retreat, offering a countryside atmosphere while still being conveniently close to any essential services. There are numerous hiking trails in the vicinity and nearby, along with many activities available within a short distance of the cabin.
Check in and out was great, communication with host was fast and easygoing! Perfect for a getaway to the UP. We were about an hour from everything, Escanaba was so close!
