Put out the camp fire and crawl into bed freshly made with fresh, pure cotton sheets... Imagine...no one's going to bug you, no phone calls, no hassles.... all day long.
You could go play on the shoreline of Lake Superior at Grand Marais, or you could drive into Seney for a hamburger, but you decide to enjoy your own on the grill, inside the screened-in porch sitting in a rocking chair over looking the lake with your nose in a good book.. It is time to drop everything and get away from it all.
With fabulous sunsets around a bon-fire, you can watch deer swim near and hear the night sounds under the starry sky!

Unforgettable Experience

Loved the cabin, loved the little lake (all to ourselves, most of the time) but the most amazing memory we will all have is the abundance and density of the STARS! If you go, call across the water & listen for the resounding echo...amazing. The absolute solitude and serenity was beyond what is described in the posting. The baskets and baskets of blueberries we picked were delicious. My 3 year old grandson had a blast, catching frogs, going kayaking with us and enjoying the warm water and the sandy shore. We made a memory - one that our whole family wants to repeat next year.

Beautiful cabin.... we were very impressed. We spent most of our time relaxing near the fire down by the lake. We enjoyed some hiking around the lake and a trip along the lake in the boat. My wife enjoyed the blueberry picking, filling up her basket for pies and muffins. We wish we could stay longer but its time to go.... Thanks for everything! Tim & Renae

We've had a very nice week of hiking, fishing, reading, and relaxing! The blueberries are all over the place and will probably be very plentiful this coming week. We saw plenty of deer on the trails. Love your cabin and will come again next summer. God Bless, Scott & Becky

The drive in to the cabin was an adventure in itself and we loved the cabin when we got here. The guys went fishing the first night. I woke up to see a doe and 2 fawns across the lake. Did some more fishing and then drove into Sable lake for more fishing. We did some hiking and explored the beautiful area around the cabin. Went to Grand Marais and picked up rocks at the beach and then drove to Sable Falls. It was a great day! At night the sky was spectacular! You can see millions of stars including a clear view of the Milky Way from your cabin. While around the campfire, we heard a barred owl. My favorite sounds were that of our friend's 5 year old son, Logan, with his delightful joy and laughter as he fished and explored all the beautiful sights and critters of the woods and lake. Thanks for letting us share your little "peace" of Heaven! - Betsy F.

First of all we would like to thank you for letting us stay in your cabin for 2 days. I was recently proposed to on top of the Mackinac Bridge. Your cabin is absolutely beautiful! I could not have asked for a better place to spend our recent engagement. You have a very special place and we thank you very much for giving the pleasure to share with us. Thank you, Your friends from Mackinac Island Chris and Heather

Hi Dale: We had a great time at your wonderful getaway. White fish in Grand Marais was just starting and was very slow. Friday morning, at your lake, I went out by myself in our canoe. I was out in the middle of the lake and a hooked a big brook trout. He jumped out of the water and ran with my fishing line. He pulled me around turning the canoe around the lake. My net was not big enough to get him and the canoe was unstable. He was so big he broke the line. He was the biggest fish I ever caught. I wish I could have brought him home. Maybe next time. It was a great experience. We would like to rent the cottage next year at the same time if possible. We will keep in touch. Thank you very much for your hospitality. We had a very enjoyable time!!! Kurt from Bay City

We had a really good time even though the weather was crappy. My buddy who works for Newberry DNR came over for dinner one night. Haven’t seen him in a year, so that was nice. I really appreciate you renting us your cabin. We loved it and think everyone else will to. Will let you know about next year after winter probably.Keep in touchCarl
