Sunset Cove is very peaceful! The location is convenient to surrounding Picture Rocks and Lake Superior and the property is very nice. Kitchen is stocked and everything is nicely appointed. Everything was also very clean! The upstairs shower is a little tight for a grown man, but it's fine for kids or if you're on the shorter side (like me). If you're looking for a relaxing time, you can find it here!
Fantastic cabin! It was a great place to relax after a long day of hiking. The cabin was very clean and everything was in good working order. Munising was a quick drive if we needed anything. The kitchen had everything we needed so we typically cooked there any watched the wildlife around the dock and lake as we ate.
Family really enjoyed our time at this fabulous lake house. From check-in with clear instructions, to the paddle boat and kayaks, and all the nice little touches, we would come back in a heart be and plan to.
My mother and I loved Sunset Cove. The place was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. It was the perfect place to relax after exploring the area. Lisa was extremely helpful and responded promptly.
The home was extremely clean and had all the comforts needed to make our stay relaxing and carefree. The home is situated on a beautiful lake and we enjoyed kayaking one day. It is very close to Pictured Rocks and several waterfalls as well. Our host was very gracious. We would definitely recommend this loveky property for your stay.
We loved staying here at Sunset Cove! My husband and I celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary while we were here. The home was so inviting and so clean, and it was everything we thought it would be and more! We loved the privacy and the quiet. Just watching the wildlife while sitting on the deck was wonderful! Sunsets were beautiful!
The property was clean, the listing was accurate, and the area was quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed watching the beautiful sunsets while sitting around the fire listening to the sounds around us! The beds and pillows were super comfy! This is a wonderful place to go to unplug!
Our stay at Sunset Cove was amazing. The house was exceptionally clean and well appointed. The view of the lake was beautiful. Would definitely stay here again. Lisa was very helpful and prompt with answers questions and giving suggestions.
The house was exceptionally clean and well thought out. More than basic supplies provided. It felt like home as soon as we arrived. This place is the perfect location for many of the sights in the UP. Will definitely book this again.
The home was clean, comfortable, and a wonderful place to stay. The owner was very helpful and informative. Kept in touch to make sure we had everything we needed.
Beautiful private home, comfortable for a couple, a family or a combo of the two. The house had everything we needed and more. The hosts were so thoughtful to leave us well wishes for our anniversary! We look forward to staying again in the future.
A beautiful house with all that we needed within easy driving distance to our activities in and around Munising. For the most part a very lovely and quiet neighborhood, although on Thursday and Friday there was a lot of gun/target practice, including what sounded like rapid-fire (or perhaps fireworks).
We had an amazing family getaway at Sunset Cove. The house was just as pictured. We had so much fun out on the lake with all the water toys. The sunset in the evening was spectacular. The location was very close to Munising and Pictured Rocks. We will be back for sure!
We visited Sunset Cove on a trip to see Pictured Rocks. The home and amenities are wonderful. The location is perfect. It was so nice to start the day with coffee on the deck and end the day with a fire on the beach. We used the kayaks and paddle boat and our only regret was not staying longer. We had two couples and it was perfect, but it could easily accommodate another couple or a family. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Good kayaking & location
Communication disappointing - information on property needed updating & there were conflicting pieces of information. We had a great time on the lake especially enjoyed the outdoor area. Loved the deck! Needed more variety of dishes (just dinner plates & salad size bowls).

Thanks for your review Teresa, we are sorry you were disappointed with your stay. We pride ourselves on communication with each guest and I was always available for questions. You are welcome to look through the cabinets to find lots of dishes and if there was something particular you need, you only need to ask.
Take care
Our family of four enjoyed our time in this home on 16 Mile Lake. The home was immaculate and had everything we needed - except a tea kettle. We even .ade use of the wafflemaker! The lake views were stunning. We saw a pair of bald eagles, osprey and lots of geese and ducks. The water toys were a big plus. We had easy access to the national park and Superior seashore - which was our main reason for visiting the area. We would recommend this home to any family and would happily stay again if we return to the area.
