We had the most relaxing time staying at Lake Effect Cabin. The house is very well maintained. It had everything we needed. The location of the house is picturesque. There are swans that live on the lake. They visited us in the morning. The host was attentive. Very quick to respond to questions. So happy to be able to bring our dog.

This was a perfect house for my friends and I, close to town, the dirt road is not something we are use too, but the house was great and when we had a problem, it was resolved quickly, thank you for letting us enjoy your home.

This is a beautiful cabin and a very peaceful Lake. There is about 5 mi of unpaved road to get there. The GPS worked pretty well but the owners were even better at letting us know how to find it. We ended up getting there after dark and did not have trouble. It's a little hard on your car to drive on the unpaved roads but it was worth it. You should also know that adds about 15 minutes to your time to get anywhere. The cabin itself is absolutely beautiful. Lots of room. There is no air conditioning and that makes sense for the upper peninsula but it has been hotter lately and the upstairs loft gets a little warm. They do provide extra fans and have ceiling fans so that makes it comfortable.

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.

Family friendly

We had a very nice stay at this beautiful cabin. Kitchen was well equipped with dishes, etc. All rooms were clean. The pedal boat and kayaks were awesome to have available. I might suggest a window AC unit for the upstairs bedroom. Even with fans, it was really hot and uncomfortable sleeping. In cooler months it probably doesn’t matter. This is located waaaaay back in the woods, and 30 minutes from Munising. So, don’t forget anything, because it’s too far to grab anything quickly. The upside is it’s peaceful, serene, and really beautiful!

Excellent Cabin & Great Location

Very nice and clean cabin on a beautiful little lake. Included all of the amenities you need, and in a very a quiet setting.Three kayaks and a paddle boat on site made for a great afternoon of paddling around.At night the kids caught a bunch of catfish off of the dock.Firewood is available just down the road as well.About a 30 min drive to Munising/pictured rocks.Would definitely recommend this place for the value.

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.

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.
