Escanaba River Gem

Our family of four stayed here for about a week and enjoyed the property, especially the location. It was quiet and serene with a spectacular view of the river and surrounding forest. At night, we took advantage of the deck to gaze at the night sky. Day trips to Munising, Marquette and Escanaba added to our adventures. Would stay here again!
