About this property

Ski Brule open weekends. Waterfalls are thawing and trails are opening

No cleaning fee. Ski Brule is open and beautiful. 3 bedroom, 2 bath sleeps 8. Welcome from the new owners. Relax with the family at this peaceful place to stay.
Relax while surrounded by nature in a renovated three bedroom house on Golden Lake. You will be set up to enjoy the perfect UP getaway, whether you're relaxing next to the lake or you are nestled up close to the fireplace or braving the weather by the firepit. Remote but only a half mile off of US-2, this house is uniquely situated in the middle of the Ottawa Nat. Forest. Perfect for family getaways, hunting trips, fishing and snowmobiling

The Space
Swim, paddle, fish, cross country ski, snowmobile and so much more from the doorstep. A canoe and 2 kayaks are available for your use. Golfing, hunting, downhill skiing and other activities are a quick drive away. Take in the amazing sunsets from the deck. Marvel at the night ski around the firepit.
Fishermen will find a variety of fish including Lake Trout, Northern Pike, Rainbow Trout, Yellow Perch and Splake. It is also one of the clearest and cleanest lakes in the area. When the lake freezes, ice fishing and snowmobiling will keep outdoor enthusiasts entertained. Bring your fishing poles and enjoy summer fishing right from the dock or from available canoe and Kayaks. Fishing license can be purchased online at the Michigan DNR Website.
Relax. Unwind. Play. Enjoy.

Golden Lake get away

House is very well supplied with everything you'd need for a multiple day stay. Was extremely happy to have a place right on the lake. Also the house is a good centralized location for going in any direction to go and explore what the western Upper Peninsula has to offer.

Cozy getaway

We were looking for something fun for our kids 4-7. The ski brule was closeby and ice skating in neighborhooring towns. The fireplace was what won us over choosing a place to stay and it fulfilled our wish. Beds were comfortable and amenities had everything we needed. Very clean and look forward to a return trip!

Great house on the lake

Everything was as described. Good supply of firewood. Bedding comfort varied, with one queen bed very firm. Many steps down to the lake. We were there to fish local rivers. The place served our purposes well. We would come back.

golden lake

very enjoyable stay. my issue is vrbo and their system of communicating the door code and other info. on my phone it is impossible to retrive the emails from the owner via VRBO as you need a security code which they email and it becomes a vicous circle that cannot be solved. had to call vrbo customer service for which their phone number takes some work to find. the reps did a nice job of working with me to get the code. the owner did their job and the house provided a nice week to enjoy the lake and UP.
