This was a very decent location for our stay in the UP--not too far from Munising. The cabin is nothing fancy: There were mouse droppings on the bottom shelf of the cupboards, but we never saw any droppings on the counter. We happened to stay when MI was having a heart wave, so the little air conditioner wasn't adequate and didn't reach the bedrooms, which was a bummer. It would be nice if the one room had a curtain or blind to cover up the high window as it meant really early wakeup times for us. It would have also been nice if some of the weeds had been cleared out to make some real lake access--like a neighbor 2 cabins down. The charcoal grill doesn't let you raise up the bottom and the cover is dented so we ended up having to finish our hamburger cooking inside. All these things are fine if you're anticipating them. All in all, I know everything has gone way up in price, but it just seemed like a lot of money for what it was. None of these things were a real problem for us, just not what we'd expect from the price. There weren't a lot of options in the area, though, and we had a good vacation. I'd recommend this cabin, just know these things ahead of time to set your expectations accordingly.
The tidy Cabin was more charming than the photos and nearly everything we hoped. It was comfortably furnished and designed, with an open plan kitchen, dining and living area with a wall of windows overlooking Lost Lake and the surrounding woods. Wifi was sometimes spotty and the dock was unstable, but due to a health issues and the cool weather, we spent much time indoors tackling and enjoying a new detailed Poirot puzzle from home:) We also enjoyed a jaunt to Marquette and nearby Wetmore's brilliantly designed and fun Miners Mini Golf and Chocolate Shop Ice Cream.
Clean and cozy cabin was just what we needed for our mid week getaway. Plenty of dishes and stocked with items like bath and kitchen towels, toilet paper, paper towels, soap (including dish soap) and even various spices. The bed was a bit firm to our liking but we had brought a foam topper. Better lifting would also help as the cabin interior is stained a fairly dark wood on the walls and ceiling. We were looking forward to kayaking but there was only a rowboat, canoe and paddle boat. The cabin is conveniently located for access to numerous hiking trails and watery. We enjoyed our stay.
Perfect size for a family of 4. Not to far from a lot of the activities that we wanted to see, but at the same time it was far enough away to be quite. Nice relaxing deck off the lake. Wished the lake shore was a little bit more cleaned up that we could swim off the dock . Otherwise great place to stay
We loved the lake and the fact that there was nice hiking close by. We brought our tandem foot-pedal kayak and enjoyed paddling around the lake. Too bad that the fishing was poor.
Very simple , spotless clean place everything worked properly. Property manager was perfect fair price. Nothing to be critical of Absolutely perfect Will return
We had a great stay! So much fun on such a cute little property. We had one small issue, and Melinda called right away with solutions. Highly recommend!
Wasnât sure what to expect on first trip to UP. Was able to run in the beautiful natural area every morning, then on to hiking and other activities and tours nearby, then back to a comfortable cabin and cozy fire.
Cabin was exceptionally clean -- spotless, in fact -- and the perfect home away from home. Despite its relatively small size, the cabin had a spacious deck in the back with a grill, hammock, and table & chairs, as well as a kitchen stocked with appliances. The television was very easy to use (don't let the other reviews scare you). The fireplace was perfect for the nights that got chilly. The beds were comfy, and the deck extending into the lake was very cool. The cabin's location was ideal too: right on the lake and very quiet, yet only a few miles from the town of Munising. The only nitpick I can think of is pretty trivial, but if you aren't used to well water, bring your own water, because it definitely tastes and smells like well water. We would not hesitate at all to stay at this cabin again if we are ever in the amazing upper peninsula of Michigan again. Very highly recommended.
Nice place: comfortable and great location. I don't like pedestal sink in the bathroom---no place to put toothbrush or other things used at the sink. The TV did not work as advertised. I could not use my streaming apps and no help was provided. There are still people who need technical assistance with "smart TVs" but non was offered.
