Beautiful cabin with the lakefront view promised in the listing. The natural peace and calm allowed for a lovely pause from the daily chaos of life. Clean, well-stocked, pet friendly, and incredible cozy cabin vibes. The host was easy to reach and available for any additional needs.

Cabin has a beautiful setting on a quiet lake. Cabin was clean, beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. Host was very responsive. One slight draw back is, it is quite a ways from the main highway on gravel roads which adds time to get to area attractions. Even with that though, we would still recommend this beautiful property.

All Pictured Rocks could offer and a beautiful place to stay

Your on a lake, it can sleep 8 - all Queen beds, we had 4 people so we all got our own bed. Lake view is beautiful, cabin is comfortable. It has one bathroom and is 20 min from the closest paved road but we would stay there again. Very peaceful setting.

Weekend Getaway

Cute cabin on a small private lake. Pretty remote with dirt roads to get to the property. Close enough to what we wanted to do (Pictured Lakeshore) while being out of town. Clean and had most of what we needed for our stay.

Beautiful cabin on the lake

We had a wonderful getaway while staying at this cabin. It was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the campfire by the lake, kayaking, and using the paddle boat. It was in a remote area but still convenient for day trips to Munising and Marquette.

Just Unwinding

Short stay of 4 days to unwind and do a little sightseeing in the area. The Cabin is well kept and is located on a peaceful small lake. Easy access to hiking areas. It was just my wife and myself, but plenty of room for kids/ grandkids. Highly recommend.

Beautiful cabin!

House was very clean and tastefully decorated with comfy beds! We enjoyed the kayaks and paddleboat as well as the beautiful view off the deck. Perfect place to see the stars at night. It is a drive along a lot of dirt roads to get there so be prepared to stock up before getting to the house, it did not have basics like salt, pepper or matches there.

Weather didn’t cooperate so we didn’t get to enjoy the deck or take the boats out. Cabin was great, very relaxing to sit and look out at the lake. Very clean and comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed. Would definitely come back

Peace and Quiet

We really enjoyed our stay on here. The cabin was very comfortable and had many of the amenities for a nice stay. The view of the lake is gorgeous. We are familiar with the neighborhood as my parents live right down the road from this cabin so finding it was not difficult for us. However I would reach out to the host before you lose phone service to get very detailed instructions to the cabin itself as it would be somewhat difficult for anybody who does not know the area.

Great cabin

Excellent place! We loved it. The Internet was not working, the owner did offer to have it fixed while we were there, but we spent all our free time hiking so opted to leave it alone. We did find a box of DVDs so we did have entertainment in the evening despite not having Internet! Beautiful views, highly recommend to anyone wanting a nice secluded getaway!

Serenity

We loved the serenity of the location, especially using the kayaks and paddle boat on the lake, and having a fire in the fire pit. It was well positioned for our day trips to Marquette and Pictured Rocks, and well appointed for our stay. Only complaints were the weakness of the wifi and a majority of the power outlets not working, plus very low mobile phone signal in the area, which created challenges with finalizing sightseeing plans and catching up on work.
