You think a Rustic cabin would be rough. This has state of the art kitchen stove & refrigerator. Washing machine & dryer too. Beautiful views, kayaks, 2 fire pits. Game systems and stereos. All the cooking gear and dining wear ever needed. Loved it

This cabin is perfect for people (like me) who love the nature part of camping but don’t want to sleep in a tent. It’s right on a private lake and close to tons of great hiking trails, including one with a waterfall, just down the road. The cabin was comfortable for our party of 4 adults, but the setup would work well for people traveling with kids, too. It’s off-grid and we were conservative with use of electricity, but never lost power, WiFi, or hot water. The host was very responsive and gave us great suggestions for things to do and places to eat. If you book, I suggest bringing some camping chairs for making s’mores around the fire pit, as the outdoor furniture was located elsewhere and bulky to move. We ended up picking up some in town and were glad we did! We had a great time!

Very peaceful and picturesque. We loved sitting on the patio and enjoying the serenity of the private lake and the nature around us - especially catching sunset. The inside of the property was overall fine and clean, albeit quite outdated with a musty smell. The property listing was not very accurate to the photos and confusing from the listed description. In the 'primary bedroom' upstairs, there are 2 queen beds as opposed to just the one shown in the photo, which made it feel campy and cramped. Pay attention to the written details in the description as it differs. Overall, we really did enjoy our stay and the host was easy and great to communicate with. Great, easy drive into Munising!

This house is in a great location, far enough out of town to feel secluded and in nature and close enough to quickly access groceries, restaurants and hiking trails. The view of the lake is beautiful.

We stayed for 2 nights. It's a great location - close to town, and above all on an incredible lake. Quiet, remote, has everything you need. The host was great, kind, and easy to communicate with.

Clean, relaxing environment, over looking a small lake, was stocked with all the essentials you would need. Close enough to all of the Pictured Rocks attractions, but out of town enough to relax. Well kept property inside and out. Would visit again. Thanks for a memorable experience!

Peaceful little lake in the perfect location

This is a wonderful cabin/house on an adorable, quiet lake. The beautiful, large deck overlooking the lake is fantastic! We enjoyed the hammocks and kayaking, too. It feels very remote, yet it’s close to Pictured Rocks and many other attractions.

Great Stay

House was beautiful and right on the small private lake. We brought our own kayaks and enjoyed our stay! Owner had a waterfall guidebook that we used to explore multiple hikes. We had a great day trip to Marquette and kayaked along Pictured Rocks. We would definitely recommend and hope to return!

We loved our time at Tommy's off-grid retreat. The amenities were perfect for our needs. The balcony overlooking Lake Ackerman and the sunsets went above and beyond our expectations (not to mention the abundant stars at night!!). With a paddleboat, two firepits and a hammock - we always had a reason to be outside enjoying nature. It was very close to all the Pictured Rocks adventures, but the quiet and serene feeling at this home made it a perfect place to recharge for the next day. I would highly recommend for anyone needing to rest and stop to appreciate the natural beauty of the UP!
