The guest did not state there were any issues with their stay. On the second day they called because they were not following the door unlock instructions. I sent someone immediately to the house (they were there in under 5 minutes) to let the guest in. A one star review is uncalled for.

For our needs this was the perfect place. You can't get any closer to the Porcupine Mountains without camping. The place was clean and very comfortable. I will most definitely stay again on my next trip. The host was very easy to work with and responsive. Give it a try you will be glad you did.

Good Value

This is a nice, affordable unit. Very clean and comfortable! The views are not majestic, but you won't have to travel far! The nearest laundry, despite what Google tells you, is in Ontonagon. So, grab your laundry, put it in the machine, and head to Roxey's while the wash is going.
