While the cabin itself is very nice and has a great view, the maintenance and cleaning are woefully lacking. The furniture and carpet are quite stained. The beds were quite uncomfortable and could use some updating. Pillows themselves are very stained and smell like body odor. One of the bedrooms is missing a smoke detector. Most of the post and pans have the nonstick coating flaking off quite bad. Could use a new coffee maker, because it takes over and hour to brew a half of a pot. There is no lighting on the back porch, whether it is because the light bulbs are burnt out or there is no fixtures. The shower curtain rod needs attention, it does not stay in place. We did try to fix it. Has not been very well cleaned. Spider webs and dirt in corners. Layer of dust on tables in living room and bedrooms, on top of hot water registers, and knife block. The mop was put away wet in the closet. Did not help with the musty smell throughout our stay. The blinds are all either broken or won't open and close very easily. Many are missing slats or part of slats. It was chilly during our stay, so the windows stayed closed. Friday night with the bar across the street would definitely be difficult to sleep with the windows open. The cabin itself needs to have some maintenance done around the doors, as there is wood rot happening. The UP has very sparse cell coverage, and most cabins have a landline available because of this. This cabin has neither landline nor internet. You can sometimes get wireless from local businesses that have unsecured connections, but you won't have strong enough signal for making calls. For future trips up there, we will be looking at different places to stay. Expensive for what was provided.

Nice basic accomodations on the lake, with a couple of issues

Place was fairly clean (aside from a few spiders, which I realize go with the territory), nice lake view, and convenient to town store, restaurants, laundramat. Gas grill actually had a working ignitor (a rarity in my VRBO experience). Biggest negatives for me were that one of the amenities identified was a row boat. There indeed was row boat, but it was one that you could not row (one of the oar locks was missing). While a trolling motor was provided, I was not experienced with the operation of the motor so did not enjoy that amenity which was one the amenities that really led me to the place in the first place. I brought my fishing gear and it ended up just being dead weight as the water nearby was so shallow fishing was not possible from the shore. The other issue was the noise on Friday night (to be accurate, the only night this was an issue). The bar next door was playing such loud music (until at least 1AM) that the property was shaking/reverberating, so not sure even earplugs would have helped stop the thumping of the bass.

Lake is right out the back door, walkable to several local restaurants and shops. Loved that the boat was available to guests. Cabin could have been a little cleaner, furniture and mattresses were not the best. Overall had a nice stay and loved relaxing and having a fire in the backyard.

Prime location! Lake is just feet away from exiting the back doors of the cabin. Groceries, restaurants, and ice cream parlor all in walking distance. Very relaxing!

Simple, clean..... perfect location for us. Pretty much in the heart of the town within 50 yards of: 2 bar/restaurants, grocery and liquor store, and bait shop. John boat with trolling motor. Can’t fish off the shore as it’s only a couple feet deep for well over 100 yds out so boat is great. Fire pit and deck right on the lake. If you’re looking for quiet seclusion and privacy then you might not want this location but we couldn’t have asked for more!(except maybe a flat screen HD TV)....TV is very antiquated but you don’t come here to sit and watch TV anyway, right?

Owner's Response:
Thanks for the review David. I couldn't have written it better myself. I tried to make sure that people are aware that it is not on the quiet secluded and of the lake, but if they want convenience to everything that Curtis has to offer, you can't beat the location. Also I had never considered updating the TV because as you pointed out, we never sit there and watch TV when we are up there any way but is probably a great idea. It may give me a good excuse to get up there before the end of the summer and take care of that.
Thanks again for taking the time to write a review and if you have any desire to revisit Curtis, let me know and I'll reserve the cottage for you.

This property is located in the heart of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It's a great central area to see many of the UP's attractions. Great as a hunting camp, located near trail heads for snowmobiling, and is right on the lake for swimming, boating, and fishing.
