Perfect Vacation

This property is fantastic! If you choose this gem you will not be disappointed. Close to many fun things to do and beautiful sites. Back at the home there is a gorgeous over look out onto lake that can be viewed when swimming in the pool, out on the deck, and yes, even from in the house! I loved looking up at the stars while unwinding at the fire pit and pond at night. Thank you so much so sharing your home! We will be back for sure!

Great house, great location, great people

Our stay was fantastic! Such a great house! Our 3 boys had an absolute blast in the pool. Danielle and Kevin were so accommodating... Kevin came over right away to show us how to use the pool, we had everything we needed. Would love to stay there again, we were sad to leave! Great location close to munising, waterfalls, kayaking, beaches.

Fabulous location and great hosts

My family of four had a great time hiking every day and swimming for hours when we got back to the house. The pool was very clean and warm even on cooler days. The house was perfectly set up for us and the hosts very responsive to any questions. Would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Danielle Kolbus

I met my husband Kevin on a "girls" snowmobile trip in February of 2011. I was visiting from Byron in the lower peninsula and he has lived in the Munising area for most of his life. We got to know each other and fell in love via technology (Facebook and phone calls/texting). We were married on Grand Island in July 2012. After living after apart for the first 11 years of our relationship, I was finally able to move up here in March 2022. We love living near all of our properties and being able to work together to give our guests the personal attention and service they deserve. We love sharing this beautiful area with all who come to visit!

Why they chose this property

My husband Kevin and I bought this property under unusual circumstances. The previous homeowners had some damage done to home, and decided to sell instead of rebuild. Due to the fact that their driveway goes right through our business parking lot, we felt compelled to purchase. So the home was renovated and we opened as a vacation rental in July 2016 after purchasing in September 2015. As much as we would like to take credit for the master bath, that was all done by the previous owners and helped to make us fall in love with home and convince us to rebuild instead of demolish. We also loved the beautiful, peaceful view overlooking the lake. The firepit and waterfall area were also nicely done and we thought others may enjoy using them as well.

What makes this property unique

Some of the unique benefits to our vacation rental are that you have so much privacy (can hardly see a neighbor from the property) yet we are conveniently located being right on M-28 and so close to everything! Another wonderful benefit in the summer is that we are one of the only vacation rentals in the area where you have your own private, heated pool to use during your stay. Many guests think Lake Superior is a little chilly to swim in (we call it refreshing, lol!) so it is nice to be able to come home after a day of exploring to a nice, warm, heated pool :) For our winter time guests, our heated garage is a great convenience for working on snowmobiles (if needed) or to even just have them thaw out after a long day of riding so they are ready to go the next morning!
