Wonderful Upper Peninsula Experience

We loved this house. It was lovely, clean, comfortable, in a quiet location on a beautiful lake. We enjoyed fishing in the lake. The house is close enough to Marquette that we were able to enjoy the Pictured Rocks boat tour and take advantage of dinners in some of the great restaurants in Marquette. Wonderful vacation!

Perfect Calm

This hidden gem was the perfect retreat for our busy family to unwind and reconnect. We took in all the amazing features of the home and also the beautiful lake we were surrounded by. It was close enough to Gwinn that a quick trip for food or pizza was easy (and delicious). It was the reset we needed after a very busy school year.

Snowmobile Trip

The property worked great for our snowmobile group. The host was amazing and responded to our last minute request to stay and also made arrangements for parking our trucks and trailers nearby in a secure area. The sleeping accommodations met our needs, although ttwo of the rooms lacked good heating for winter lodging

Wonderful!

Absolutely amazing property!! From start to finish we LOVED everything about this rental. Dana, the property manager, really went above and beyond to ensure our stay was 5 star! The lake was gorgeous. There were 13 total in our group and we had plenty of room to gather and also to spread out if we wanted to. Highly recommend this property!! Beautiful vacation.

Great for all seasons!

We stayed in this house during the winter and it was spectacular! We were able to ice skate on the frozen lake and drink hot chocolate by the fire place. But the house has everything you need for the summer! It is also very well stocked if you like to cook. The house was absolutely perfect for our family of 8! Looking forward to coming next summer!

Wonderful Stay

This place was amazing with the water on both sides. It offered something for everyone in our group kyaking, fishing, bonfires. Parking was a bit tight as we had four trucks and trailers with side by sides but we were able to make it work. We had a wonderful time riding the trails during the day and hanging out playing cards and sitting around the campfire at night. Would love to come back during the summer and again next fall. a great hangout spot

Wonderful week

Great location. Lovely home. Many more amenities than I expected. Saw the Northern Lights for the first time in my life. Kids loved the water and kayaks. Larry’s store and the bait shop were convenient and helpful. Could have used hand rails on steps and front door.

Peninsula Paradise

Our family found ourselves wanting to stay and enjoy the property more and it’s picturesque beauty. Originally we had planned to sight see the whole time and we were glad to enjoy the home half of our stay. Also, we were very impressed we could view the Northern lights on our last night. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the master bedroom’s views and will definitely come back to stay here! It was such a treat to have a view of the lake feol eaxh room in the house.

Summer Family Getaway

This home was a wonderful stay for an extended family vacation. The home was spacious and well stocked. The outside area was wonderful. Our only negative feedback was regarding the lake, this is more of a fishing lake than a water sports lake in our opinion, and our boat was too large for this lake. Not the fault of the owners and we were able to enjoy their pontoon for the week which was very nice! However we would not bring our boat back to this location. Otherwise the stay was perfect!

A Hidden Gem

This house is located on a quiet lake and we had a great time swimming, kayaking, and riding in the pontoon boat. We saw bald eagles flying over the lake in the morning. The host provided everything we needed, including life jackets, towels, and water toys. There were ample bedrooms for our two families with kids. The property manager was very helpful when we had an issue come up requiring a repair and got it fixed the same day.

What a wonderful property. Our group really enjoyed our stay at this gem of a house. It's a beautiful place being situated on the peninsula as it is. Lake views out of basically every window. The lake was also great for swimming and fishing. We would definitely stay here again.

Surrounded by lake in front of house and in back- beautiful lake views. Clean and well equipped. Perfect set up for a group. Rooms spacious and loved the back sunroom overlooking lake. We arrived to a wonderful welcome gift of local coffee, cinnamon toast, UP chocolate bars- and a six pack of a local ale. Hope to come back again during the summer this time.
