Very nice home that met our needs on our fishing trip. Very clean, new appliances, excellent location for fishing trip but yet close to Escanaba up to Rapid River for those that are just wanting to see the area. Definitely would stay again!

This was a great place to stay in Gladstone! Comfortable and quiet. The mattresses are great, the kitchen has everything you'll need, and the entertainment options (smart TV) are an extra plus. Also the deer and turkey outside your window! Highly recommend.

Cozy, comfortable, with lots of space outside where dogs can run around without bothering people. Beautiful beach parks in Gladstone and Escanaba. The weather is a lot cooler than it is down in central Illinois, which I loved. Hope to come back next summer.

Wonderful

Perfect getaway and home base to explore the area. Fayetteville state park is a must. The house was spotless. We are not pet owners so our expectations are high. Comfortable bed and furnishings. The kitchen had everything we needed.

Very nice, quiet little getaway. We had a mama deer with her fawn in the back yard. Wish there was more of a trail to the water but it was very nice nonetheless. Would go again :)

Nice place

The place worked out great for us 4 friends. The modern updates look really nice. We played cards and watched tv. It has 1 window air conditioner but with the box fan in the hallway it cooled the rooms down nicely.

Cozy Cottage

Great place to stay with plenty of room for your truck and boat. Awesome internet which is often not the case for the UP. Every day we were visted by a flock of Turkeys and deer were abundant. Close to everything that is needed. Would definitely recommend.

U.P. Base camp

Property was exactly as advertised. We used this property as a basecamp for our upper peninsula exploration. It was clean and well maintained and suited our purposes perfectly. The one thing that I would love to have had was the opportunity to open the windows to enjoy the crisp clean air of the north country. If you are planning a stay, and are not used to well water, make sure to bring what you need to drink as the water is somewhat harsh. We would certainly consider using this facility again.

Privacy and peaceful

We loved location set away from escanaba and Gladstone. Nice long driveway and nice and private. Dogs had room to run. There wasn’t anything to pick up poop fyi. Can’t open windows which stunk because no fans to help move air from window air conditioner in kitchen which is opposite of bedrooms. Water is orange terrible smell and taste. So I didn’t wash my hair or drink it. House smells very musty everything we brought I had to wash even if we didn’t wear it. Double beds stink for couples.
