Perfect setting!!!

This was the perfect location and setting for us to get away and to be able to visit our son who is attending college in Houghton. The cabin was clean as a whistle. The property was clearly very well kept. We will be back again!

Family plus DOGS!!

This was our first stay here and we will ABSOLUTELY stay here again!! We chose it because they allow multiple large sized dogs (hard to find!) And we were so pleased! It was quiet, peaceful, beautiful, wonderful!!! Our daughter had a great time and the dogs did great. The lake was wonderful to spend a day fishing.

Cozy!!!

We had a ball at Christine's place! We had other family staying in cabin two across from us and that cabin is awesome!! The sauna is nice and lots to do there. Bugs didn't even bother us too much... But I wish we would've had a fly swatter. We'd definitely stay there again!

Wonderful UP cabin

The little touches made this quaint UP cabin a joy to stay in. Fresh flowers inside, potted flowers on porch, reading lights with shelf to charge phone & to place glasses by each bed, nice towels & bedding. Owner is third generation owner & has a lending library with variety of book topics plus games & puzzles. The location was centered so could easily explore parts of western UP. Owner even turned on our porch light when we came back after dark. It was so relaxing by Otter Lake. There were boats available with cabin or you could use a public boat launch nearby.

Quiet and comfortable

Very nice cabins with very comfortable beds. Lake is beautiful also, just a little bit too buggy for us to sit down there to enjoy. Overall- we were very happy with our stay and would come back!

Perfect Getaway

Christine is such a wonderful host! She is personable and goes above and beyond to make the stay memorable! The cabin is cleaned thoroughly and ready for our arrival. The personal touches such as candy and flowers on the table is welcoming! The sauna once again was the big hit! There is a nice restaurant not too far that has good food. The store down the way has groceries to cook at the cabin. We love this place and highly recommend!

Peaceful and Relaxing

Upon arrival to our cabin we were welcomed with fresh cut flowers, chocolate and a doggie towel for our dog. The cabin was clean and set up with all the necessities. With only 7 cabins on site, it was quiet. The use of the boat was excellent as we were able to fish Otter Lake from other points. The walk to the lake was not far at all. The sauna experience was wonderful! My family of four played badminton with the outdoor play equipment provided. We relaxed on the bench overlooking the lake. Having our morning coffee outside on the deck will be sorely missed! Christine was very accommodating and pleasant with every interaction! First time renting through Vrbo, but I'm glad we did with this location!

Cozy and clean cabin, great for family fun!

We loved our visit! The cabin was cozy and meticulously clean. Christine was a wonderful host! We love that the cabins have been in her family for so long. It’s the perfect location for exploring the Keweenaw peninsula, but plenty to enjoy around the cabin grounds and lake too. We tried our hand at fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boarding. A peaceful lake where we saw bald eagles, turtles, and other wildlife. Our kids are already asking if we can return next year!
