Fabulous week up north

We've stayed in this cabin before and it is always well kept. Enjoyed a week of incredible weather, very good fishing, a nice campfire, and peace. Not to mention good food and a cocktail or two. Highly recommend this place for a couple or a small family.

Amazing place. Super clean and updated. Location is awesome. The owners happened to be in the place just up the hill when we arrived. They introduced themselves and made sure we felt at home. The neighbor and his dogs made sure to say hi. Very welcoming group. Our 2 kids loved their space with the bunk beds. The living room is spacious and comfy. Kitchen outfitted with everything we needed and more. The deck was perfect for morning coffees and evening cocktails. We don't fish hard, but found a good mix of panfish for our freezer. Handful of walleye, pike and bass, also. The lake is beautiful. Hoping to return.

Beautiful and comfortable cottage on a beautiful and relaxing property. Enjoyed fishing off the pier, kayaking (sit on top kayaks), and slept wonderfully. Even able to capture some photos of the northern lights. Would gladly return in the future.

All the adjectives…Beautiful, Peaceful, Amazing!

Honestly, this is the best cabin we’ve ever stayed in. Everything was updated and beautiful. The setting was serene, quiet, and had a wonderful lake view. Very attentive & friendly host! We did not lack for anything, and we were very lucky, to view the northern lights right outside of our door, shining over the lake! 💕

Beautiful serene getaway

The cottage was so cozy and the perfect place for the last leg of our honeymoon. The fall colors on the lake were absolutely gorgeous! Everything was very clean and the living area and kitchen were spacious. Will be back!

Great lake cabin

Cabin was very comfortable and clean. Great view of the lake, with access to the water from beach or pier. We had a nice time canoeing on the lake and doing some casual fishing from the pier. The location is an easy drive to Eagle River and Land o Lakes for groceries, restaurants, etc. Also accessible to Bond Falls (UP MI), Blackjack Springs (Phelps), and Porcupine Mountains for hiking. Overall a great stay. Cabin is

Everything went seamlessly with our rental from check in to check out. The decor of this cabin is updated and very pleasant. We were very comfortable for space even with five people.

Wonderful Week

Owners were extremely welcoming and helpful. They answered all questions and provided great places to eat. They also gave helpful information about the lake and fishing spots. The cabin itself was clean, furnished nicely and comfy for a relaxing stay. Kitchen had all things needed and then some. Peaceful and quiet. It was a wonderful week and we will definitely return.

Relaxing Stay

Cute little cottage - enjoyed our stay. The only thing I missed in the listing is that bath towels are not provided, so we had to go out and buy some. For the rate charged that should be included. But other than that they have everything you need. Location was great, dock for our boat, close to many amenities.

Parents getaway

My husband and i stayed here for a long weekend. It was bliss. We rode 450 miles in Wisconsin and Michigan on our UTV (trails are accessible from the cabin), fished, had a campfire and enjoyed local restaurants. The cabin was clean and comfortable.

Fall getaway 2023

This is the second time we've stayed at this cottage and it was as enjoyable this year as it was last. Cottage is clean and cozy. For us, it is perfect. I almost hate sharing as I'd hate for it to become so busy we don't get it next time we can sneak away.

End of Summer get away

This place offered everything we needed. Peaceful setting, wildlife, nice size lake, dock and lake area to float in, and short drives to daily excursions and shopping. Me and my two daughters had an amazing time playing in the lake, exploring Bond Falls which is close by, shopping and photographing the amazing sunsets. The property was very clean and had great parking. It was the perfect size for the 3 od us and we would have had room for my son as well. We had a couple of questions during our stay and the hosts responded very quickly. Both my daughters agreed our stay was too short and can’t wait to go back.

Lake life perfection !!

This waterfront cabin was absolutely perfect for what we were looking for . The owner , Jason could mot have been a better host . From the directions for arrival to accommodating us with a late check out on a special occasion, Jason made sure our stay was fabulous . The cabin is super clean and cozy . It is equipped with all the basics and a complimentary bottle of wine which was a nice surprise . The view out the dining room window is breathtaking . There is a bonus fish shack where you can clean your catch of the day! We will definitely be back.
