Great place

The CozyUP was perfect for our stay. It is clean and well appointed, has a new washer a dryer, spacious dining room, comfortable couch to relax on at the end of the day, and the location is perfect for the Western UP. So much do and see in the immediate area or even a short drive away. Would definitely recommend a stay here if you're planning a trip to the area

Absolutely fabulous!

We have stayed at many VRBOs over the years and the owner of this one went above and beyond. The communication was amazing-checking in just to see if we had any questions and everything we needed. The house was clean, comfortable and perfect for my husband and our two kids. There wasn’t anything we needed that we did not have. We would absolutely stay here again. Check in and check out are really easy with the keypad. Thanks for being an amazing host and a great long weekend!

Comfortable and Clean

We had a very comfortable stay and would stay again. Pros: -Location to Blackjack and Indianhead -Comfortable beds -Clean -Fully stocked -Host is very helpful Cons -Light switch in kitchen is hard to find lol -When it is windy, the house rattles and the window treatments (we stayed in winter) crinkle. It might bother someone if they were a light sleeper. Overall, nice stay and we highly recommend!
