Lakeview getaway

It's nice tucked away and very quiet place to stay. Clean and newly redone it appears. Great for a peaceful getaway or kayaking and seeing local upper peninsula sites.

Comfy, Cozy and Welcoming

Let me just begin by saying the photos do not do this rental justice. It’s so much cuter in person and just perfect. Everything was clean. There is a relaxed/inviting feel to the decor that makes you feel at home once you enter. There were lots of little extras since the photos were taken that didn’t go unnoticed and were appreciated. The view of the lake is priceless. The owner and host were both very friendly, welcoming, easy to deal with and took time to respond to our questions about snowmobiling and ice fishing in the area. We hope to make this an annual weekend. Highly recommend renting (just not my weekend – LOL).

Great stay, beautiful property, and fun lake!

We had a great relaxing stay here--the lake was beautiful, the dock was so nice. The kayaks were a huge hit (but bring life jackets!) and the house was perfect. My kids really loved the fireplace and the TV with streaming services too. Games on the table was a wonderful extra touch. Would highly recommend!
