Rustic in look with modern amenities, i.e. WiFi, on-demand hot water, and streaming 50-inch T.V., child/teen/adult books, and games are available. Spend the day fishing, swimming, or relaxing. A 12-foot aluminum fishing boat with oars and life jackets is on site. Two designated parking spots at the cabin. Trailers, haulers, etc may be unloaded at the cabin and then moved to parking near the entrance. Watercrafts are to be brought in every evening due to rapidly changing weather on a large lake.

Sleeps 8. 1 Queen (Main Brm), 1 full sofa bed (Living Rm), 4 twins (2nd Brm and sunroom). Guests may bring a boat only under 20 ft length due to lake depth/dock placement.

Nice location. Enjoyed the deck, hammock, firepit and being on the lake. Took the boat on the lake and fished. Cabin is small and cozy. Beds are comfortable. Has everything needed - dishes, coffee pot, towels, etc. Outside has mayflies and needed to be washed. Kristin was very responsive with texts and was nice.

Great little rustic cabin

We had an enjoyable stay at the cabin. I grew up in the atea and am very familiar with the location, so although I had never been back by this group of cabins before, I knew the general location would be wonderful to stay in. The view is gorgeous here, especially the sunsets. The water is super shallow and my kids loved walking out as far as they could. They also loved playing in the sand on the beach. We had unfortunate timing that coincided with mayfly season (for anyone unfamiliar, you will generally get that around mid-to-late-June) so that was one downside - but certainly no fault of the host’s! Just something to be aware of for anyone staying around that timeframe. We still enjoyed the fire pit and some of the outdoor amenities like bean bag toss.The cabin itself is very rustic but also very charming. The bedrooms don’t have doors, just curtains. So that’s something to be aware of, especially if you have kids that go to bed earlier than you. We had to be extra quiet and keep the lights low so as not to wake them. We were also thankful to have read in one of the reviews the recommendation to bring an extension cord for one of the bedrooms, as it didn’t have any outlets (that we could see). So we came prepared for that and were able to still have the kids’ electronic devices charging in there with them. There were some dead bugs and cobwebs in the window sills, but it wasn’t very bothersome for us.Overall we had what we needed, and it was a very enjoyable stay!

Great time

We had a great time in this rustic cabin! We had a bit of a bug problem with a resent hatch of bugs but we managed. The kids enjoyed the lake, tv and toys! We all slept pretty comfortably. The only suggestion i have, is to bring towels and washclothes. The towels there are old beach towels and there were only 2 washclothes. We made it work but it would have been nice. We loved having the ability to cook and the grociery store was close by! Overall we were very happy with our experiance!

Great location but needs better cleaning

The cabin’s location is perfect—right next to the beach, which was amazing. However, I’m giving it 3 stars because it was dirty upon arrival. As soon as we walked in, there was a musty, slightly funky smell. We also found a lot of dead flies on the floors and windows. I understand it was mosquito season, but if the cabin had been properly cleaned before our stay, there wouldn’t have been so many dead insects. The price was great for the location, but if you rent this cabin, just be aware that cleanliness is an issue.

Kristen is such a class act. Thank you for an amazing stay. Definitely rustic….but everything you need is there. The views are fantastic. Very quiet. Stars at night were amazing! Did a great campfire and watched the sunsets. Swam with our dog many nights. Sandy shallow bottom….we were able to tire her out. Close to town and parks. We are planning on going back!

Lovely, cozy cabin in the UP. Kitchen has everything you'll need for your stay. Great location and easy drives to state parks in the area and day trips all over the UP. BEAUTIFUL sunsets on the lake and close to Lake Michigan for some fun in the waves! All neighbors were very nice. Good fishing on the lake. Would stay here again. Thanks for letting us use your cabin!

Enjoyed our stay

Our family really enjoyed our trip to the U.P. This cabin is right on the water and the kids loved it! They enjoyed the beach area there and kayak’s they provided between the weather that wouldn’t cooperate to go fish. The mosquitoes and the may flies are bad this time of year. But over all would recommend this place!

Exactly what we were looking for

Easy check in. Property exactly as described. I was surprised at the amount of 'extras' that were provided! However our timing & Michigan weather being what it is, we did not use any of the watercraft or the corn hole boards that were available. Sunsets are beautiful! And the water... I'm talking drinking water... ice cold & wonderful. We found out from a neighbor that it was from an artisian well! This was a great place to unplug & relax! Will definitely be back!

Absolutely stunning sunsets!!!!

The lake and the location on the lake couldn't have been more perfect! If you love breathtaking sunsets on a peaceful lake, watching families of ducks swimming around, then this is your place. If you want 4 star fancy then move on. This cabin is very rustic and cozy but really that was just for sleeping. The outdoor spaces are were it is at. I am from Minnesota and I have never seen a lake so peaceful in my entire life. There was some boat and jet ski activity, but nothing noisy or obnoxious. The only issue we ran into was there were no outlets in the bedrooms, so we had to run an extension cord from the living room to the bedroom for our fan and my CPAP machine. The grounds around the cabin are shared with multiple other cabins (like a resort) but everyone was really nice and respectful. Honestly I would definitely recommend this place if you are over the hard party and uncomfortable camping life. Michael was very easy to work with and answered all my questions right away.
