Great Weekend Getaway Spot

Fran, thanks for your hospitality. Sweet Emma’s was perfect for our long weekend trip to Boulder Junction. The house was great for four of us, and we enjoyed drinking wine on the pier after riding the bike trail. Access to the trail was fantastic!

Relaxing Getaway

We couldn’t have found a nicer place for a relaxing getaway! The home was so cute, so clean and had everything you would need. It felt like I was visiting my Mom, a place full of love! It was right next to the many bike trails Boulder Junction has and restaurants and shops. Fran was the best host and we will definitely come again!

Great stay!

We had plenty of space for our group of 7. The home is well equipped with ample supplies for cooking and day to day comforts. The location was perfect for our fishing outtings, as well as bike rides to the park and ice cream! The fairy garden was a delight for our granddaughter! Thanks for your hospitality Fran!

Fran made it easy to check in and the home is supplied with everything we needed. Surprisingly quiet even though the home is on the main road going into Boulder Junction. Fans that Fran supplied were helpful for warm nights. We enjoyed the canoe and kayak on the river right by the house and the bike path right out theFront door.

Incredible Cabin

We stayed a week and loved every minute. The cabin is amazingly well stocked. The kitchen has every conceivable thing you could need for cooking. The cabin is much bigger than the picture show. The river is amazing and there are so many boat options right on the property. It was a great kayak to Boulder Lake. We would stay here again in a heartbeat

Outstanding Vacation Home

The property manager had a tremendous attention to detail for this vacation home. Lots of thoughtful little touches such as multiple room humidifiers for our winter stay, little LED flashlights in almost every room (not that we needed them) and a kitchen that was extremely well outfitted with high quality appliances and cookware. Notes and instructions made using the place a breeze. The house was very clean. It is obvious she takes great pride in the property. It is conveniently located close to downtown Boulder Junction.
