Lovely property across from the park and Bay. Well stocked kitchen, clean, plenty of entertainment media. The futon in the main bedroom doesnt lie completely flat so a thermarest or other topper helps. Good communication with hosts. Parking off- street behind adjoining building keeps unobstructed view of the front. Great place.

Great location for us, pet friendly with a large park across the street, and very clean. Kitchen was well stocked- I had brought a few utensils and pans but didn’t need them. Host was very responsive, helpful, and kind. Cute, light-filled and comfortable little house that was perfect for the two of us and our dog.

Great little getaway!

This was our first trip to the UP and it was fantastic! Cottage was clean, comfy and just as advertised. Took the drive up to Pictured Rocks and went on the boat tour...not to be missed! We enjoyed our short stay and will definitely be back!

Initially, we had problems getting into the cottage, but once we got in with Ron unlocking it remotely, everything was very good. We are very familiar with the area as my husband was born and raised in Gladstone. This cottage was perfectly located for what we were doing that weekend.

Lovely place to relax!

This is a nice, quiet, and very clean rental. It is in a very pleasant location with a view of the lake. The breezes were very consistent and we did not need the air conditioning at all. Thanks Ron for a lovely stay.
