About this property
Amazing sunsets/lake views - Near Pictured Rocks
Pictured Rocks Family Rentals welcomes you to The Pines! Quaint lakefront cottage on Furnace Lake. It is conveniently located right off M28 in Christmas, less than 5 miles from downtown Munising, the beginning of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. There are 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. Our cottage offers 1 king bed, 1 queen bed, and 2 full beds. Come up to enjoy Pictured Rocks & numerous waterfalls in the area. Only 2 blocks from Christmas ORV/snowmobile trailhead.
Central air conditioning was added to the home on the summer of 2021. The second bedroom here is a little odd, it used to be a jacuzzi tub room. The jacuzzi tub was removed, and now there is a bed in there. The room still has a toilet and sink in it. We have added a curtain to block toilet view from bed. While it is unusual, we think it is worth keeping to have an extra lavatory for larger groups. The third bedroom is a heated 4 season porch bedroom with both a queen bed and a full bed in it. We added a tankless water heater in January 2024, now there is unlimited hot water, so nobody has to dread being the last one to take a shower :) The home has a beautiful view (especially for evening sunsets!) overlooking Furnace Lake and is very quiet and peaceful. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Included with your stay is a row boat and a couple kayaks. The red outbuilding closest to the garage has some life jackets, oars, and the kayaks in it. Up to 2 dogs are allowed with preapproval, but there is a $75 non refundable pet fee that will need to be added.
Guests have full access to the home, garage, red outbuilding next to garage, and yard. The red outbuilding near the road is not available to guests.
We live nearby if you should need anything, but will not come over unless asked to. If you have any questions or concerns, please message through the app or call me if an emergency.

Had a great stay! Did a lot of fishing off the dock and took our kayaks out. Perfect place to come back to after shopping, going to the beach, boat tours and hiking!
We really enjoyed our stay at The Pines in Christmas, MI! It was the perfect cozy overnight stop on our trip across the UP. We only wished we could’ve stayed longer but our itinerary didn’t allow it— but we’ll be sure to come back and book this place again! It was a great set up for our family and we particularly enjoyed the living area for late night conversations, coffee (provided by host!) and breakfast at the kitchen table, and the scenic lake views with true fall colors!
This is our second time staying at The Pines. This is the perfect location for adventuring in Munising. The kitchen has everything we need to make meals, and the hosts are fantastic about anticipating the extras that make our stay extra special and effortless.
We loved staying here! Danielle made everything very easy and was responsive with any questions we had. She had great recommendations for us. The view of the lake was amazing! We highly recommend The Pines!
Highly recommend this property! Great location to take in everything the area has to offer. Bright, clean, spacious and tremendously comfortable for our family of 4.
A fantastic trip!! Danielle was so great at communicating and every need was met! The stay was booked for a physically challenged family and Danielle was very understanding of the extra needs and she and her husband did the absolute best for us!!The cottage is amazing and feels like home! Thank you so very much for everything!!Laurie ( for Stacy, Robyn and Lisa)
Danielle, the host, was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was a great communicator and answered all of our questions, including providing spot-on recommendations. The house had all the supplies we might need, comfortable beds, lots of space to spread out, and beautiful views over the lake. This was an ideal location to explore Pictured Rocks and the surrounding towns. We would highly recommend The Pines!
we came up to the UP from illinois for our honeymoon, and we had the BEST time! this house was so perfect & danielle was truly the best host. the house was so cute, cozy, and clean and had everything we needed. we are picky with the air temp in houses, and the AC was 10/10 and kept us nice and cool! we would totally recommend and stay again with danielle!
The location is outstanding- a scenic lakehouse on a quiet and clean lake in a safe neighborhood and a private dock with access to kayaks and a boat. Only 5 minutes from downtown Munising and 7 minutes from a major grocery that has anything you could want from a hot deli to full bar. The house is so cozy and loved, there is a tankless hot water heater so we always had hot showers and a gas fireplace with an extra heater on the porch for sleeping under the stars and right next to the lake. So many touches made us feel welcomed. We really loved staying here. I highly recommend it!
We loved the location on the lake and took advantage of the rowboat to go out on the lake. It is an easy trip to Munising to see the sights and to Marquette. The cottage was very clean and well stocked for everything we needed. The sleeping porch was particularly nice to wake up and look out at the lake

About the host
Hosted by Danielle Kolbus
I met my husband Kevin on a "girls" snowmobile trip in February of 2011. I was visiting from Byron in the lower peninsula and he has lived in the Munising area for most of his life. We got to know each other and fell in love via technology (Facebook and phone calls/texting). We were married on Grand Island in July 2012. After living after apart for the first 11 years of our relationship, I was finally able to move up here in March 2022. We love living near all of our properties and being able to work together to give our guests the personal attention and service they deserve. We love sharing this beautiful area with all who come to visit!
Why they chose this property
We have this property because it was included in a package deal from the previous owner of the White Pine Lodge. We love having a cute, little cottage on the water. It is one of only 2 properties we have in our portfolio that have lake access, so we include a couple kayaks and rowboat for guest use. We love being able to offer a heated garage for our winter enthusiasts as well as some beautiful sunsets all year long! While this property is not set up the way we would have preferred, we are trying to make the best of what we have to work with.
What makes this property unique
*Beautiful sunsets *Heated garage for our winter sports enthusiasts *Gas fireplace in living room *4 season room facing the lake *Paddle boat and row boat available for guest use
