Relaxing on Michigamme

What a great log cabin to stay in. Right on the river, close to Marquette and lots of local natural attractions. The owners were outstanding and super friendly. We may try to come back for a snowmobile stay in the winter.

Beautiful dog friendly place

We really enjoyed are time at the cabin. It was large and well maintained. We had plenty of room for 6 of us. We enjoyed the sauna and the area. It is a good central location to visit the UP attractions with an hour drive or so. The owners who live a couple of doors down are very friendly. It was also awesome that we could take our dog along as she enjoyed the hikes as well.

Tranquility on the river

This house was perfect for our family. We love beeing outside, on the river. There are kayaks for use and we used them every day. It was so relaxing. Marquette is only about 30 minutes away, so it was convenient for a farmers market and swim in lake Superior. The hiuse had everything we needed to cook meals. Even 2 different types of coffee makers. The hosts are incredible. Very knowledgeable about the area and helpfull. We would definitely stay here again.

Great getaway in the U.p.!

Cabin was cozy and spacious at the same time. Plenty of room for our family of 6 to spread out. Well stocked kitchen. The extra soap and shampoo was appreciated! The basement is a lovely surprise- the many streaming services on the tv, the games, books and puzzles. And the sauna!!! The view out the living room and from the porch is why we chose to stay here. The kayaks were a great bonus as well. The perfect retreat.

Snowmobile trip

Very nice log cabin. Great location for a snowmobile trip. Accommodated 7 adults easily with room to spare. We put a air mattress in the basement next to the bed, and a cot in the loft area next to two beds. Very clean with all the accommodations. Beautiful property right on the river. A mini Mart and a bar and restaurant right at the end of the driveway. Trail access directly across the street. Plenty of trailer parking. Great response time with the owners. Everything was exactly what the listing says. I would recommend this property for any type of a vacation.

Waterfalls in the Yoop!

This property was very nice! Everything we needed was there and then some! Very clean and roomy! It was pet friendly which was a nice bonus, and the dogs loved the property, especially being on the river and being able to jump in and swim! We were busy during the days chasing waterfalls and it was so nice to come back to a very comfortable place to unwind. Republic is a very pretty area and we did walk the dogs in the mornings before we took off on the adventures of the day. The hosts, Charlie and Shelly were so kind and friendly and checked in on us a few times. We would definitely stay here again!!

Peaceful and secluded

This cabin was well stocked and well taken care of, the host were very accommodating and even met us at 11:00 at night and make sure we knew how everything worked in the cabin and where everything was located to make it very easy for us. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed. It was a great location for us to visit picture Rock and many waterfalls. The quaint little town of Republic was very accommodating the breakfast at the restaurant was great thanks to Charlie for recommending it to us. We would recommend this cabin to anyone visiting the area.

Winter Getaway

Seemless check in/out - welcoming hosts that truly want you to enjoy your stay, even asked us if there was anything particular they could have available for us. Home is well stocked and even has hotel like amenities if you forget something. As other reviews state - watch the corner of master bed 😊. Would highly recommend and hope to visit during summer in the future.
