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!

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!

Family vacation

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).

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.

Beautiful home in a beautiful spot

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.

Perfect Family Get Away

I can not stress enough about how clean this property is. You feel comfortable from the moment you arrive at the property. And they put so much thought into all the little extras you might need or forget about. Coffee, tea, creamers, wood, lighters, flashlights, toothbrushes, toothpaste, blenders, grill, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, bug spray, sun block, board games, soap for laundry………. I was just so impressed. They thought of everything. We will be back!
Amazing sunsets!

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).

Comfortable, clean, convenient home

Sunset Cove is a well maintained comfortable home in a lovely location. Highlights were kayaks and other boats for paddling, lots of relaxing seating inside and outside, beautiful lake views, water that tasted fine, kitchen with many cooking utensils and appliances, soft comfortable beds, ample supplies (dish and hand soap, toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, laundry detergent, beach towels), wifi and streaming, board games. Communication with property manager and check-in were smooth. Water pump and water heater were noisy but worked well. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

Sunset Cove did not disappoint!!

We had an amazing stay at Sunset Cove. First, the home is beautiful, warm and inviting and had everything we needed for a comfortable and fun stay. We loved the basket and lovely card the host left for us. We enjoyed the paddle boat and kayaks. I highly recommend staying up for the sunsets, they are magical, and I don't say that lightly. It is about a 15-20 minute drive to Pictured Rocks, the town of Munising and any activities you want to enjoy. The hosts were very responsive and helpful throughout our stay and we look forward to coming back!
