Loved every moment at this magical place

We had a wonderful stay in this adorable cabin. Quiet, peaceful and clean, with a comfy bed and furnishings. Our lovely hosts surprised us with delicious local treats and we cooked several meals in the kitchen. Kayaked the lake almost daily and spotted 2 eagles and all sorts of wildlife. Close to Munising but away from it all. We hope to return next year!

Relaxing Lakeside Retreat

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The view of the lake is beautiful, and there is a paddleboat, canoe and kayaks available to use. It's only a15 minute drive to Munising. The sauna and outdoor fire pit were added bonuses.

Munising weekend get away.

We woke up to a beautiful view of the lake every morning and enjoyed watching the sunset over the lake and the fire pit every evening. It is worth it to drive a little bit out of town to stay in this beautiful, relaxing location. The cabin was clean and comfortable and perfect for my husband and me.

Charming lake front cottage

We loved our stay at this cottage on 16 mile lake. The pictures were true to the listing and it had all the essentials we needed for our three night stay. It is located about 10-12 minutes from all the local sights. We kayaked on the quiet and peaceful lake and hiked nearby trails We will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful location and Cozy Cabin

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin by the lake. It was extremely clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. It is close enough to all the attractions in and around Munising while also being remote enough to escape the hustle and bustle. The owners are responsive and very kind. It was the perfect place to stay for our first trip to the UP and we would love to come back.

Cabin in a great location for Pictured Rocks

Overall we had a great week at this cabin in Munising. We enjoyed using the kayaks and appreciated the availability of a canoe and paddleboat. The reason for less than five stars is twofold: the air conditioning was only a window unit in the living room. That meant that at night we had to choose between staying cool and keeping the bedroom dark. The second reason is that the lawn was poorly maintained. The grass was a foot tall and going to seed and there were weeds everywhere.

Wonderful Cabin

The cabin was a delight as soon as we walked through the door and welcoming. It had everything you would need just as described. Loved sitting outside and enjoying the lake that had a little sand beach and the water was clear. Plenty of dishes that were adorable for a large group. Maps and book on local area and all important info was listed by phone including a basket of paper for notes etc. I would definitely come back to this cozy cabin.

We truly enjoyed our stay at this cozy little cabin right on 16 mile lake. We had everything we needed. It was about a 15 minute drive into Munising for all of the "touristy" things. The cabin has wi-fi, and we were able to send and receive texts, any calls needed to be made while we were in Munising (we have Verizon). The cabin does have a land line for emergencies. This cabin is on an unpaved road, but it is very well maintained, and we had no issues even after significant rainfall. This is a great place to stay if you want to be a little more remote, but not feel completely cut off from the rest of the world. We would recommend it to friends and family looking to stay near Munising.

Excellent location with great views from the porch and dining area. The cottage had nice updates inside, especially the bathroom. Just the right size for a couple. Nice natural landscape in the yard. Very quiet and relaxing. Good communication with the owners. Very clean with a nice cottage feel. A good location to explore the many attractions in the area.

Lake life is great!

The cabin was as listed. Loved the lake views and pulling out the kayaks and being on the water. Was close proximity to Munising where we were able to see some beautiful waterfalls and enjoyed some great hiking. If you enjoy rail trail biking make the trip to Marquette. You won't be disappointed. The host was a text away and supplied some good info about the area.

My husband and I also live on the lake and enjoy the beauty this peaceful area has to offer. I was born and raised in Au Train Michigan and grew up on Northwoods Resort, so have a rental came naturally to me. My husband and I met here on 16 Mile Lake as his parents own a home here as well. We enjoy the outdoors and all that the upper peninsula has to offer. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Air conditioning! Kayak right from your shore, enjoy a fire and sunset at night, or coffee in the morning out front. Relax and take in the beauty of this gorgeous area, and stay connected to the outside world with free WiFi.
