Summer family vacation

We had a wonderful time. Spent time at the beach, fishing, hiking, shopping, eating! The rental allowed us ample space for our extended family (10 adults 1 child)and we had everything we needed for meal preps including a gas grill. We loved sitting around the fire ring. The little local grocery has everything you need in a pinch. We were close to so many activities and really enjoyed the pictures rocks boat tour.

Family Reunion

We loved the property due to the great rooms upstairs for the cousins! The family room downstairs allowed us all to hang out and play games together! We loved being so close to the beach so that if some kids wanted to go to the beach they could just walk! The sunrises and sunset were like no other and we loved being able to go to Marquette or Munising quickly.

UP Winter Weekend

Even though there was not snow to x-country ski or snowshoe, we enjoyed being outdoors going the the Eben Ice Caves and Pictured Rocks Ice Cave. The house was large enough for our group to eat together and hang out in the living room or game room.

Au Train

The property was just what was advertised. We loved the proximity to the beach & trail. Only thing missing was A/C or at least fans in every room. House was hot which made it tough to sleep.
Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2020
Response from VrboOwner on 24 July 2020
Thank you for your feedback. There are 2 AC units in the home, one upstairs and one downstairs, both work very well. There are ceiling fans in all upstairs bedrooms, with pull cords, which allows them to be left on at night, when the lights go off. There is a large ceiling fan in the living room for circulation and box fans if needed. If windows are kept closed, it stays nice and cool in the house. Also, there are screens in all bedroom windows. It typically cools down nicely at night, so if the AC units are turned off, windows can be opened. Again, thank you for your recommendations.

Snowmobile trip

We come up north every year for a snowmobile trip. This year we had a group of 18 guys. Ages 24 to 64. There was more than enough room for all of us, and the included amenities were exactly what we were looking for. More than enough parking for three large trucks and trailers

Wow!!!! From the second we walked in to the second we left we enjoyed every minute. The younger adults ran around claiming their room for our stay. The adults all had 1st floor rooms. Extremely clean. So much space to all sit in different areas. Us ladies read our books on the front porch and the 3 season porch. The beach is beautiful. A little further than we thought along with crossing the highway was a tad of a bummer but still worth it. The cute little coffee, pizza, ice cream store is very nice. Highly recommend. * add to note we were a last minute book as to our surprise our original abb overbooked us. It was a blessing in disguise as this house was much bigger and beautiful inside.

MOM'S FAMILY GATHERING

THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME SINCE MY MOM'S PASSING THAT HER 5 ADULT CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES WERE ABLE TO GET TOGETHER TO HAVE A CELEBRATION OF HER LIFE. THE HOUSE WAS VERY ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE OUR GROUP VERY COMFORTABLY. THE LINEN WAS CLEAN, THE HOME LOVELY AND THE KITCHEN WAS WELL STOCKED FOR COOKING. WE WERE NOT INTERRUPTED BY NEIGHBORS OR OWNERS. OVERALL IT WAS A PLEASANT PLACE AND WE ENJOYED OUR STAY. SOMETIMES ONE HEARS HORRIBLE STORIES ABOUT RENTAL PLACES, BUT THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

Girls Trip

This property is in a great location!! It's an easy walk to the beach, convenience store, and ice cream & pastie shop. The property is large enough to support common gathering and eating. There is also a bonus room upstairs if you feel the need to get away. Everyone had a space to call their own and felt comfortable. If you go in the summer, take fans. There are 2 window AC units but fans were nice for sleeping. I did alert the property manager of some missing and damaged screens. They assured me those would be addressed for future guests' comfort. If I return to the area, I would rent this property again. Responses to my communication attempts through the VRBO messaging system were limited, but when I called the property manager directly, she was always professional and helpful.

Future Wildcats in the Fall

As we pulled up to the home after a long drive we could not believe it. All 12 of us were in awe. The pictures do not do this Lodge justice. We got out and headed in, and the only thing I could say was wow. It was so nice and warm, clean and felt like our own home. The kids ranging in age of 9 yrs old to 22 years old ran through claiming beds, rooms, and where they were chilling at in the AWESOME game room. The 4 adults gelt at peace knowing that there was space and fun for each person with this home. It was crazy what this little trip staying in this home did. Not one time did anyone bicker lol we laughed and hiked the Munising Ice Curtain and Eben Ice Cave. We ate From the local pizza shop (excellent by the way) and had board game night by the fire.

Great place for a big family gathering

Great place. Clean, well-decorated, nicely laid out, tons of space, wonderful location close to some great things in Au Train (kayaking the Au Train river was the highlight of the trip for us) and close to Pictured Rocks. Perfect! The only reason I didn't give this place a 5* is because they don't supply towels. With most of the family coming in from Texas and New Mexico, it was a pain to pack bath and hand towels and wash cloths for 12 people. And then when we left, the folks who showered in the morning had wet towels to deal with. If you're driving in from Michigan, this is likely not a big deal.... Other than that, my, this place is AWESOME and I would come back to it. Oh, one more thing... at night, walk out of the house, and look up! I saw as many stars, shooting stars, and the milky way galaxy as I did in Bryce Canyon National park. That's saying something!
