We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The home was very nice and well appointed. The view out to the lake was beautiful. It is located close to Munising. About a 15 minute drive to Pictured Rocks. We would definitely recommend this place.

Couples snowmobile weekend

Perfect little cabin for a couples snowmobiling weekend. Plenty of space for all of us and our gear. The house was clean and well thought out. Getting to the trail was super easy but with the warmer temps the road melted off making the short trip to the connector a little sketchy. Overall we can’t complain and would definitely book again!

Our Sanctuary

Just AMAZING. Clean and comfortable. Great communication, especially during the snow storm, making sure we knew what to do. My entire family was able to unwind at the end of long and stressful days, and the view out the living room window became our favorite place to sit and relax.

Great Vacation Spot!!

This was an amazing vacation with beautiful scenery. The lodge was very clean and accommodating for the 6 of us plus our 2 dogs. We had a great time on the lake with the kayaks and fishing boat provided. It's close to Munising to do all the local attractions. The kitchen was fully equipped and the bathrooms had all the amenities. It was easy check in and check out. This lodge was everything that was described and so much more. We give this a 5 Star Rating and would highly recommend staying here. Thank you Tonya and Andy for the great accommodations. We really enjoyed our vacation and are already looking forward to coming back!!!

Wonderful stay!

Overall, the house was exception, with everything provided for.A minor exception was the toilet in our en-suite bathroom tended to keep running due to the overlong chain wrapping around the flapper. Once I figured out what the problem was, I was able to take the tank lid off and unwrap the chain.
