This was an ideal location for our family to meet up and explore Pictured Rocks and we also enjoyed the county fair the same weekend. There was plenty of room for sleeping and living along with great kitchen/grilling facilities. We would stay there again. Thanks for a great stay!

The layout of the house was perfect for our group. It was clean, had everything we needed, and nicely decorated. The centralized location was a great base camp for all the things we wanted to do/see. The kids loved walking to the ice cream shop and hearing the neighborhood cows. Hoping to come back during snowmobile season.

Clean, neat, perfect for our family. Located centrally so we could head to Marquette, and Oswalds Bear Ranch and everywhere in between. We saw Pictured Rocks. Sand point beach, Munising, a shipwreck.

Everyone in our group truly enjoyed the property. It was clean and well stocked with blankets, towels, dishes, pots and pans. The location was perfect for us. Close to the Co-op, The Pub and the local festivities. As close as it is to town, it still felt private and homeyl We would rent the place again!!!

Even better than expected

We stayed here with a group of 10 and the place had everything we needed and more. It was perfect walking distance to the store, bar/restaurant and even ice cream. We visited near by pictured rocks, waterfalls, and even did the riptide ride. This was perfectly located for all these activities. I would highly recommend staying here.

Close enough to Pictured Rocks

Went with family and friends to hike Pictured Rocks trails. Have stayed at sister property in the past and like the location. It is 20 mins from Munising in a very small town with a coop, bar and great ice cream store. Quiet and easy to relax. Owner is very responsive.

Within 20 minutes of everything we wanted to do!

Very tidy home with lots of extras (tp, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, blow dryers, seasonings, etc.] More towels provided than needed, too. Our group started a little scavenger hunt with little treasures hidden throughout the house. We hope future renters enjoy it and continue the new tradition!

Snowmobile trip

Our annual house snowmobile trip, 7 people, 3 bedrooms, 2 large baths with walkin showers. The house was roomy, never felt crowded. Clean, plenty of supplies. Loved the coffee bar. Walk out to trail. Chatman bar close (best staff ever). Martha the host, responded to our questions quickly. She gave us info in Up200 dog races, so cool to watch...Thank you Martha for a great stay. We will be back.

Once again excellent

Excellent place to stay. Spotless. Well equipped kitchen. Only recommendation is to have a crock pot. There was no hand soap or extra garbage bags so had to buy our own. I left them for the next person. Overall we love staying here. It’s right next to trails. Plenty of parking. Owner is accessible if needed. This was our 3rd stay and we definitely will be back again.
