The appliances were quite outdated but we really didn't care. Everything worked fine. It was kind of strange because the second bedroom wasn't available to us. It must have been under construction but we didn't need it. The best part is the location and the view. Just as described and even better. I'm concerned because it doesn't seem to be available to rent in the future. We would love to come back and are hoping it will be available again.

Nice secluded property

Private lakefront with stony beach. Excellent, large private yard area. The kitchen and bathroom areas were newly redone and excellent. Beds were clean and comfy and you can hear the lake at night! I would go back for sure.

Clean,quiet and relaxing .

Spacious area with a private beach. The deck was great for watching sunsets and I loved the outside patio in the back. We were packing up the car and the boys(the dogs) turned around to go back to the cottage. They wanted to stay and so did I😀

Great getaway cabin

This cabin was right on the water. The kids & I really enjoyed the water. Water shoes are a must because it is a rocky shore, no sand. Absolutely beautiful views. Cabin was nice & stocked with most essentials. Would note that it was not very clean, many cobwebs, etc. But excellent response when reached out to manager & overall great vacation.

Third year in a row!!!🥳

We love this camp! This is our third year staying for a week, and we didn’t want to leave. The cabin is not fancy (orange shag carpet), but the location is wonderful. Beautiful sunsets and a lovely breeze, rocks/beach glass/fossils to pick, trees to hang a hammock, AND they allow dogs! What more do you need? Can’t wait for next year! 👍🌅❤️

Peaceful

My wife and I have never been to this area. We found the house to be excellent and clean. Well equipped kitchen, beautiful deck with water views, check in process was easy and the mgmt company responded to several questions very very quickly. Grocery shopping at Meijers in Escanaba was a large convenient plus. Ice cream cones for lunch at Garth Gas/Grocery was a treat. Highly recommended

Lovely Location, Great Layout.It would be a "5 Star" with a Little Maintenance

Really liked the location and view. You are nestled in among some cedars with lots of wildlife around you and centrally located for exploring the Hiawatha National Forest. Kitchen has most everything you need. But the screen door to the deck is a mess, the window in one bedroom isn't there (just the storm), and somethings just need repair/replacing. This gem needs polishing.

Long weekend near family

Location of the property was beautiful on the lakeshore. Inside of the cottage was clean. Comfortable place to stay. Enjoyed the location, was able to sit on the deck when there was a breeze to keep the bugs away, and enjoy the view. However, I had brought my dog, of course expected to pick up after him—-rather difficult when the grass was very overgrown. The overgrown grass also contributed to the large number of mosquitoes on and around the patio entrance, which was the entrance we had to use. Management tried, but was unable to get someone to cut the grass on the holiday weekend. They were very responsive to that and other minor issues.

Little slice of UP heaven

It was exactly what we were seeking to get away from the city. The wildlife was so abundant I couldn’t believe it. Every night we could see a few does and fawns in the yard. The sound of the bay was beautiful and the breeze from it was spectacular. Cooking dinner two nights of the stay was something we had never experienced on vacation but it was so nice. We were able to visit local meat markets in nearby towns and it was a great experience. Plenty of boat ramps close to the house, and a light house at the end of the road was a cool adventure. Walmart and meijer plus a variety of city amenities were within 35 minutes of the house so that was convenient for us. The neighbors to the house were very nice and welcoming in passing but overall the stay was secluded and quiet which was great. I would stay here again and again when going to the UP.
