My wife and I stayed with our two kids (11 and 12) and had plenty of room. Well thought out spaces. Even a reading nook! It was actually our yearly anniversary trip where we come up to different parts of the UP to waterfall hunt, read, relax, hike, and check out the local places. The decorations and overall feel of The Outpost is just totally cool. We appreciated lots of little extras that many other hosts don’t bother with. For example, extra coffee filters, spices, games, books, and so on. Really perfect location as well. We spent a few days at Squaw Beach and walked down to the three restaurants in town. Just minutes from some of the other points of interest in the Huron Mountains. Loved the patio and spent every night out there some! Would definitely come back! ##### Jeffrey R.
