About this property
Near Munising and close to Pictured Rocks, Lake Superior, Casino and More!
This cottage is located 2 blocks from M28 and the Casino in Christmas MI. Public beach is within a mile and Pictured Rocks is only a 10 minute drive. There are two bedrooms (both Queen beds) and two full bathrooms. The couch does fold out for additional sleeping. One bathroom is a nice full sized master bath, and the other bathroom is small, it has a bathtub/shower, toilet and sink that is clean and functional, but very small. (did I mention it's small? ) The Living room is spacious and has seating for everyone. The kitchen is fully stocked as any normal home would be, including pots and pans, plates, utensils etc.... It includes everything one would need to cook for 6 people. All linens are included, (sheets, pillows, blankets, towels) Paper towels and toilet paper, gas grill with propane, garbage bags, hand soap, dish soap, dishwasher soap, laundry detergent and softener as well as coffee filters for our regular drip coffee maker. We don't provide toiletries.
The home has a furnace and air conditioning to keep you comfortable. Easy access to everything in our area. Cabin is perfect for guests looking to have a home base centrally located to all our area has to offer. Wifi is provided. There is a garage in the pictures that is on the cabins property, (which you park in front of) however, it is not available for your use, sorry. There is not much yard at this property and out front , not much either.
ATV riders will appreciate the close proximity to the trail and gas station. For those looking to hike, bike and kayak, the trails and waterfalls are within 20 minutes and the river is just blocks away. Pictured Rocks Cruise is 10 minutes away.
In response to reviews, I feel it necessary to point out the following: One of the two bathrooms is very small, please do not expect it to be big, as it is small like stated. It is a fully functioning bathroom, but it is small. Like small..... The Cabin WILL sleep up to 6, but you do need to tell us you are actually going to be bringing the amount of people you intend to bring. We setup the cabin for the number of guests provided to us. For example, if you say 4 guests, we will set it up for 4, if you say 4 and bring 6, then don't expect accommodations for 6.
The cabin is closed during the winter, it is very possible that you may have a hint of "mustinesss" , especially during the spring. I assure you, that does not make this place unclean, it's just inevitable when you close a home up for 7 months and it can't breathe. If the potential for "musty" offends you, please book something else that will not offend you.
One of the bathrooms is small All in all, please don't review us less because of these things. We don't deserve less a star because you were unhappy about something you should be aware of before booking. Thank you, Cory

Cottage was very clean and kept up well. Perfect location to make our base while we saw the sites of the UP.
Very quiet and relaxing area to stay.

We had a wonderful time staying at the cozy cottage. The cottage was clean and a comfortable stay. The location was perfect for exploring the scenic nature and the towns nearby. I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a getaway.
Plenty of room for our small group of three. Second time staying there. Highly recommend Da Yak Shack for the discounted kayak rental for touring the Au Train river.
The Cottage was very nice and we enjoyed our stay. It was very clean and the check in process was easy, It is located in a quiet subdivision right off the main highway. very close to pictured rocks.
The Christmas Cottage was just as advertised, simple and comfortable. Very quiet neighborhood. A little bit musty at first, but aired out well. We were close to the places we wanted to see, We hope to return!

Fall Colors were spectacular
Easy to find and near a lot of hiking and boating activities. Inside was clean but musty. Outside could use a cleanup. Overall it met our needs.
Christmas Cottage was a great find for our tip to Pictured Rock! The place was exactly as described and had everything we needed to be comfortable. Even the small bathroom that is mentioned multiple times in the listing worked perfectly for us as an extra bathroom for our group of 4 adults. Host was also very responsive with my questions.
This house was very clean. One bathroom was very small and tight to move around but we managed. Glad they had a washer and dryer. That helped allot. Great location….. nice and quiet.
Property was exactly what we needed. Very close to all the attractions we were interested in seeing. Description from owner about the property and things to do was accurate and very helpful. The one bathroom is very small as stated in the description. It is definitely a one person room, but it worked just fine. Would definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay. It’s a rustic cabin, but pretty clean and comfortable. The AC was appreciated. Close to Munising, Sand Point, etc. Note there were a lot of mosquitos and ants while we were there, but it’s a rural area so to be expected. Fortunately, there were no ants inside.
It worked good for us. Good location. Hey, there's a small b-room. Haha. It works. And there's a full sizer as well. Great to have the extra b-room for getting ready or making deposits. So please, the owner states this in description of 2nd b-room, easy on the inconvenience on review. Lol. Fully stacked kitchen, laundry room, 10 min to Munising, 30 seconds to casino, quiet area tho

Configuration of the shower does not allow you to take a shower without being in contact with the shower curtain. Log hair on the shower walls, was it cleaned? Dishes in the cupboard had lipstick and crust on them. Table was dirty and crusty upon arrival. Beds were comfortable. Check in easy.
