About this property

Cozy cottage on Little Bay De Noc minutes away from a public boat launch!

Welcome to The Kipling Cottage! We are excited to share our cozy cottage with you. Our cottage is an Angler's paradise. You won't find a more convenient place than this with a public boat launch on Little Bay De Noc and two, locally owned bait shops right up the street. Fish year-round in one of the most coveted locations in the area.

Our cottage has a huge front and back yard perfect for yard games, bonfires, and plenty of parking space for trailers, boats, etc... We are conveniently located minutes away from bars, restaurants, a grocery store and gas stations. A day trip away from Munising, Marquette or Manistique- the possibilities are endless!

Our fully stocked, very clean, pet friendly cottage is vacation ready- it just needs you!

Felt like an old friend right away. Very accommodating. Stayed for a few days of fishing on little bay and it was perfect. Right down the road from the boat launch. Place was clean and well stocked. Very peaceful.

Very nice home that met our needs on our fishing trip. Very clean, new appliances, excellent location for fishing trip but yet close to Escanaba up to Rapid River for those that are just wanting to see the area. Definitely would stay again!

This was a great place to stay in Gladstone! Comfortable and quiet. The mattresses are great, the kitchen has everything you'll need, and the entertainment options (smart TV) are an extra plus. Also the deer and turkey outside your window! Highly recommend.
