Home away from home!
We had an amazing stay. The cabin is so spacious on the inside. The accommodations were fantastic, everything was well stocked and we really didn't need much. The view is fantastic. The check in process could not have been easier. This was my first vrbo stay, so I was hesitant about this part. The owner was so helpful in recommending restaurants and things to do. They even notified us that we could check in early. Something I did not expect to love so much were the locals! Literally the nicest people you could meet and everyone was helpful. Highly recommend booking a kayaking tour with Northern Waters Adventures. We can't wait to come back!

Great Place and Owner
We had a great trip. Cabin was fantastic, clean, comfortable and fully stocked with whatever we could have needed. Phil was great with providing information about the area and communicating with us. It's an ideal property for exploring pictured rocks and the local area. Just a short drive from town, but you feel like you're a world away when you return to the lake house. It was the shoulder season, so we literally had the place to ourselves. Not a person in sight at the cabin save for a few boats and kayakers passing by on the lake every now and then. Got to use the provided kayaks on au train, do some fishing and watch the birds and waterfowl in the mornings & evenings. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks so much for a great trip!

Great cabin close to everything
Great cabin. Loved staying on the lake and using the kayaks and building a camp fire each night. It was a quick drive to Munising for food and activities. Wish it had another toilet but the five of us worked it out.

Great family cottage
This cabin was exactly what we were looking for. Right on the lake with kayaks and a canoe for your use. This was not a stripped down rental property but a family cottage being rented out. We had an excellent stay. The internet TV was great for a cabin in a sparsely populated area. Contact with Phil and Eric by text was easy and quick. When we have reason to come to the UP in the future, we would surely try to stay here again.

Peaceful and Fun Wrapped Up in One
This cabin was welcoming even before we opened the door! It had everything we needed and them some. The sunrises over the lake were breathtaking as well as watching the night sky while sitting around the firepit. We even saw a glimpse of the Northern Lights one night! We had a perfect amount of adventure and relaxation while staying here and exploring the UP. I would recommend Pictured Rocks Kayaking and Kimar Charters for fishing on Lake Superior. Grab the Hiking and Waterfalls brochure and go exploring! Our family favorite waterfall was AuTrain Falls just a few miles down the road from the cabin. We miss this cabin already and hope to come back again someday! Thank you Phil and Eric for being such excellent hosts!!!
