Spacious, Clean, and Airy

We stayed at Twin Oaks during the shoulder season of th UP. Too cold for spring/summer activities, too warm for winter activities. However, Twin Oaks made this tolerable for our family of four that includes a two year old and an infant by being large enough that we weren't stepping on each other's toes. The sun porch is perfect for a cup of coffee and a good book. The toys were a blessing, and the TV room very cozy. The washer/dryer combo and bathroom facilities are updated and clean. The kitchen is acceptable, but I found the sink, while quaint, a bit of a challenge to do dishes in. The beds are comfy and the entire place is very clean.

I brought my elderly parents up to visit family in mid-October 2010 and stayed at Twin Oaks. The house was as described by the owners ~ very clean & well maintained. GREAT location! Great communication before, during and after our stay. My parents (79 & 88 yrs old) really enjoyed themselves and loved the house as well. Convenient to have bedrooms and bathrooms on main floor, and I had the entire upstairs to myself!! I plan on returning again and highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the Gladstone/Escanaba area.

It is a beautiful house in a fantastic location. I brought my young nephew and niece to accompany my son and they had a blast. It was incredibly relaxing as we spent every day playing at the beach. I intend to come back every year.

We are here to celebrate the marriage of our daughter. We had beautiful sunny days and cool nights. We prepared for the wedding and enjoyed entertaining friends at our "home" away from home. I am sure the neighbors wondered what was going on!! Steve and Barb, Thank you.

We were here to visit family and play. The weather was warm. Went Salmon fishing in Fairport and had a fish fry at the Swollow Inn in Rapid River. Had a fantastic time! 1414 Lake Shore Drive was the perfect home away from home for our family!

Twin Oaks is a great place to stay! We picked wild blueberries, participated in the Monarch Butterfly watch, and went to the Bonifas Art Center. Beautiful, clean relaxing guest house!
