Nice place right on the river!

We visited early spring and the place was very nice. Clean and comfortable and right on the river! It seems like a really great place to be, especially in warmer weather - we came the week of snow and ice so outdoor activities were limited but still enjoyed the getaway.

Perfect cottage!

The cottage was in a beautiful area of Escanaba. However, the entire upper peninsula of Michigan is beautiful. Escanaba has everything you need for a vacation. The upper peninsula has many points of interest. We really enjoyed the Pictured Rocks cruise.

Home was spotless and well appointed. Great communication from the owners and the stay couldn’t have been easier. Especially love the place was dog friendly, check out instructions were easy (no need to strip beds, start laundry, etc!) and the view couldn’t be beat.

This was definitely one of our favorite vacation rentals. Absolutely beautiful! Very peaceful, yet close proximity to town and restaurants, bars, and a casino. We really enjoyed ourselves, and our dog had the time of her life. We highly recommend! We would definitely come back, but we don't vacation in the same area twice. Thanks for providing a true description of your property and amenities. What you see in the photos is what you get...or actually, even better than the photos.
