Cabin getaway in UP Michigan

Cozy cabin in remote area that was furnished with everything that we needed. Great location close to activities up north and also to Mackinac Island and surrounding area. Had no response from Evolve with questions prior to arrival but owner responded promptly and gave some additional info that was very helpful!

We do hope you will visit again soon. We have added a weber charcoal barbecue grill and we are working on a fire pit and horseshoe game in the near future. Keep in mind that we are open all seasons. Fall color tour is exquisite! Be sure to bring hot cocoa, marshmallows and plan on making memories."

Bridge Walk Weekend

I have never stayed in a cleaner cabin! I was pleasantly surprised that they ask you to remove your shoes in the cabin, which was extremely nice since we have a 14 month old. It was a great secluded location. The shower head had a lot of pressure which was nice. More short term rental folks could take notes from these folks! They had hooks everywhere. Overall a great stay.

We appreciate having a clean place for families… and removing your shoes keeps the sand and dirt out so you can feel comfortable in your bare feet in the morning when you have coffee!

Well maintained quiet property

The cabin is very well maintained and remote. The two bedrooms each have 2 x 2 full size bunks so quite a few people can comfortably sleep. The bedroom ceilings are open and conversations carry across all rooms. It may be challenging for groups where people would like to go to bed at different times.

From the owners: "Hello Ernest, thank you for your comments! We make every effort to keep our little getaway cabin well-maintained and very clean for our guests every time. Cabins in the area are frequently built with bunks for family camping experiences. The open vaulted ceiling arrangement allows the cabin to provide good heat flow from the woodstove during the winter months for our guests. We hope your visit us again in the future if you are in the area. We have added a weber barbecue grill so be sure to bring charcoal! We are working on putting together plans for an outdoor fire pit and horseshoe game also. Thank you so much for your kind review. Your Yooper friends, Cindy and Jerry"

Bridge Walk/book club 2023

The property was just as listed. Nice space for a large group of women. We didn't need to use the cute little stove as the weather was warm. Two of us used the screened-in porch as a bedroom--such a nice view of the stars and great breezes! Kitchen was perfect for light cooking--everything there for our needs. Plenty of towels! Even plenty of hot water for showers--for a big group!

From the owner:"Summer in the cabin is wonderful! We have lots of cross-through breezes and cool, quiet evenings. Sitting in the enclosed screened-in sunroom porch during the day or in the evening, surrounded by trees and stars… sharing your favorite beverage with friends or family is amazing. Or sitting out by the fire pit surrounded by trees and an endless night sky, sharing memories, making memories… Priceless.Thank you for visiting our little getaway. We hope you will return soon and tell others about us.Sincerely, Cindy and Jerry"

Comfortable cabin in a peaceful setting

This was our 2nd year staying and we were very comfortable just as we were last year. Everything works well and is very clean. It’s a great place for a larger group to sleep as long as everyone goes to bed at about the same time and gets up at about the same time because the bedroom ceilings are open. For our group that was not an issue. The one thing that was a struggle is that there is no wifi. I understand the rationale, it’s a cabin and you’re there to escape. However, we all had AT&T and so had no cell signal. This made it sometimes difficult to coordinate with family members that were staying at the lake. I think Verizon may work better.
Response from VrboOwner on 21 July 2023
Ernest, we are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay overall and apologize for the issues you experienced with cell service. We followed up with the owner after reading your feedback who would like to clarify the following: - Thank you for choosing to stay at our cabin for the 2nd time. Unfortunately, our internet was installed 5 days after your arrival as this was the soonest appointment. The cabin now has high-speed Internet through Starlink! It works fabulously for cell phones and Internet access. We have had as many as eight people utilizing it with two devices per person and it did not slow. We obtained Starlink Internet as quickly as we could get it in the UP. Should you decide to visit us again next year, you’ll find that it is very user-friendly and quick. - The purpose of the open ceilings is so that the heat circulates throughout the cabin more efficiently when the woodstove is burning in the wintertime. We are sorry to hear the open ceilings caused issues with sleeping arrangements. We will add this to our listing description so others are not caught off guard. Thank you for taking the time to give us a good review. We hope to see you back at the cabin next year.
