Great place to stay if you have a large family. Lots of room. Water and other amenities were provided. House was clean and had many beds. Full kitchen was the best part for my group of seven. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.

House was beautiful, clean and had more than enough room for multiple people. Only thing I’d bring awareness too is the listing isn’t completely accurate. Some of the mattresses are on the floor in the bedrooms and the property itself has multiple trailers filled with ceramics and a bunch of ceramics under tarps outside too. The host will make you aware of the ceramics but after you already create the booking, it’s not in the photos or listing. She was very kind and responsive. So unless the above is an issue for people, I would definitely say it’s worth the stay for the price. Good location with beautiful scenery and definitely family friendly.

Room for all 15!

Traveling with a group of 15. Stayed 1 night again on the way home and there was plenty of room for all of us. Home was clean and had well equipped kitchen. Communications were fast and friendly. Would definitely stay again!

Great up north

Pauline the owner was very accommodating. The place was clean, and off the beaten trail, so very quiet. We will be back. Only thing I would add is a grill for our stay. There was a dish washer to use, which was great. And wood there for a fire. Bonus!

Right size for our large group

Traveling with a group of 15. Stayed 1 night and there was plenty of room for all of us. Home was clean and had well equipped kitchen. Listing was difficult to determine arrangement of beds (we are coed and were preplanning), but communications were fast and friendly. Would definitely stay again!

Nice place, misleading listing.

The property was nice and big enough to fit the whole family! Only issue was the listing is misleading. All beaches or rivers are at least 30min either way.

12 in Trenary

We had a great week at the house. Pauline was easy to communicate with and she troubleshooted an issue with us very quickly. We loved the location being half way between Munising & Marquette. There is also a small waterfall a couple of miles from the house that our kids loved. Plenty of space in the living room and kitchen. Very nice upstairs balcony. Big yard also with a nice spot for an evening campfire.

Mother's Day Weekend Escape

This was a great home to bring our family together for Mother's Day weekend. The location is central for many of the usual UP adventures. The kitchen is large enough for multiple people to prep meals and the dining area is adjacent to allow everyone to chat during meal prep. The kids loved the play kitchen and air hockey table. The yard was large and had a fire pit to roast marshmallows and keep the chill from spring's blustery winds at bay in the evening.

Successful Opportunity

We used this as the base for the travel that we enjoyed during the ice and snow storm at the end of March as we were at the Marquette and Munising Seventh-day Adventist churches for the baptism of our great nieces. This was an excellent base with a not so excellent entrance.

This house was nice and clean, the only negative I had was the communication about the TV that didnt have a wire to it as well as the new internet that we had to figure out how to connect. Other than that it was fun and nice to stay at

Trenary Cabin stay

We had a great time. There was a few minor issues for us, but overall we had a great time, the cabin is lovely! It’s a very tranquil and relaxing place to stay! We had a lot of rain during our stay so we weren’t able to enjoy it as much as we would have liked, but we made it work, nobody can truly predict the weather.

A bit eclectic, but pretty clean with lots of beds

We were quite comfortable in this house. It was plenty big for our family of 7. There was only one shower - be aware of that if there is a big group. It's clearly an old house with some quirks, but the kitchen is nice and our kids loved the air hockey table!
