We recently stayed at this place and loved it! The property was nice and clean, and had a fully stocked kitchen. Some lovely touches included a variety of coffee flovours by the coffee station, wine glasses and a blender for drinks. Baking sheets, aluminum foil and a hand mixer were also to be found. The bathrooms had fluffy towels, and also a hair dryer. We appreciated the comfy mattress, laundry soap & softener, iron, and other essentials one might need. We enjoyed sitting on the covered porch and made good use of the provided gas grill. Heat and A/C functioned flawless. While eating meals, we enjoyed a great view on the Escanaba River from both the counter and the dining table. Kajaks & life vests were provided to use, as well as fire wood by the fire pit. Although it is not completely quiet, (some traffic noise from the nearby red bridge, construction across the river and shooting range can’t be helped) it was still enjoyable! This property is not isolated by all means as mentioned in the previous review, as there are neighbors and another rental next door. I am sure families with children and/or pets would love the large yard area to run around and play! We also had a furry visitor greeting us! Wi-Fi was a bit tricky to log on to, but the owner was easily reached and problems resolved with the help of a neighbor and associate. This property is a lovely find, it completely served our needs and we would stay here again and recommend it! ##### Silvia K.

Excellent host with a beautiful place on the river. Had deer in the yard and it was such a nice experience overall. ##### James E.

We had a great stay in this riverfront home. Close to everything but feels in the country. Really cute, clean place. ##### Christina P.

So clean & clutter free. Great wifi & TV set up. We looked at the hotels in Escanaba & Gladstone and nothing would have compared. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer- highly recommend it! ##### Jeff P.

The property is on the river with a small dock and a number of kayaks for your use. Our stay was excellent. I highly recommend this property. Note: you need to follow the driving directions provided by the property owner. Initially, I just plugged the address into Google Maps and it did not get me to right location. ##### Ed R.
