Everything was great! This was our very first Vrbo stay, so we weren't sure what to expect. Beautiful cabin, it far exceeded our expectations. The kitchen had everything we could have possibly needed. Mitch was super friendly and communicative. The property was easy to find and perfectly located to do all of the local things to do (like pictured rocks,munising, grand Maria's, etc). If I could give 10 stars, I would.

Excellent Snowmobiling Location

I can now check off a bucket list item as we had a great cabin to snowmobile out of. The cabin was great and located right off the main trail system. We will be going back.

Great place to stay!

We loved this cabin and it’s surrounding!! Everything g was very clean and plenty of space! I would recommend people take a couple screenshots of the directions and map before heading there because it’s a dead data zone for a bit but we found it and enjoy everything about our stay.

Woodford stay

Our stay was amazing and just what we needed. There was room for everyone, the house was clean and cozy! The front porch was my favorite. The kids liked the lake! Far enough away from town but still easy to get to. Will definitely be back!

Very clean, comfortable and private lake cabin

We loved staying at this cabin. It was very clean, comfortable, private and in a beautiful location on a small lake. There was plenty of room for our party of 3. We had hoped to use the kayaks but ran out of time. If we return to the area we will definitely try to stay here again.

Amazing wilderness getaway!

Everything from booking to checkout was wonderful! The hosts were very communicative and helpful. The property was easy to find, in a beautiful secluded location. The place was clean and couch and beds were super comfortable. The views from the property were gorgeous and had tons of wildlife around to watch. Many hiking trails, waterfalls, and small towns to visit in a short drive. Will be coming back and recommend to anyone thinking of staying!

Great getaway!

The cabin was clean and comfortable. The owners made us feel welcome and responded to all emails and texts. The area is very secluded and is great for getting away from city life while being centrally located to all the beautiful things the UP has to offer. We visited Oswalds Bear Ranch, did a Pictured Rocks tour and saw the Tahquamenon Falls. We would highly recommend staying here if you are planning a trip to the UP!!!

About the host

Hosted by JoAnn & Mitch

Host profile image
We purchased this property as our perfect UP getaway. All the comforts of home, with the essentials of the Upper Peninsula to bring rest and relaxation. Our family loves the area and the peace it brings us immersed in the woods with a perfect setting, and close proximity to so many attractions! We look forward to sharing the same great experience we have every time we visit the Grand Marais and Pictured Rocks area with you!

Why they chose this property

In our opinion, this cabin is in the bullseye for whatever experience you want, with the best scenery in the Upper Peninsula. It is located just off of the ATV/Snowmobile trail, near Pictured Rocks, and on a picturesque lake looking at the sunset every evening. The cabin is the cleanest, well-built home we have seen in the area, and you will enjoy the ambiance the perfectly built, cozy cabin provides. Simply AMAZING!

What makes this property unique

The location of this cabin allows you to reach endless attractions by car or UTV/Snowmobile. Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore is less than 10 miles away, as well as Waterfalls, quaint little UP towns, breweries, restaraunts, museums, and many other attractions. A short road trip gets you to Oswald Bear Ranch, Tahquamenon Falls, Paradise, Whitefish Point, Munising, Seney Wildlife Refuge, and many other attractions! Rest or explore, but no doubt you will enjoy yourself here!
