Great stay on Lake Superior

This was our third year staying at this property and we had a great time. The cabin is always very clean and cozy. The view from the deck can’t be beat and the beach is great for swimming. Can’t wait to return.

Sand, Sun & Quiet

This is the second year we've stayed at Chris's and it's been THE BEST location and cabin we've stayed at in the UP. The cabin is quaint, very clean, has the feeling of the northwoods and is just steps away from an amazing beach. You can see the sunrise and sunset - walk three miles along the bay (round trip) and see just a handful of people. Chris provides everything - from towels and firewood - to frosted mugs in the freezer!
