The house overall was great to stay at beautiful home and well maintained I love the outside area and the porch. I sat out there most mornings drinking coffee watching the deer and my little guy who is two played in the yard. There is nothing related to this home that would make me not want to stay there again. Check in and out process was wonderful both Stacy and Carl left wonderful notes on what to do how to do things and checked in.

The host was very communicative and quickly available to answer any questions. The house was very clean and comfortable. It has a great backyard for relaxing & hanging out. The location was perfect for our needs - only 5-10 minutes for anything you needed town, gas stations etc. If we are in the area again we wouldn't hesitate to book again.

We had the BEST stay at the Little House in Kipling while visiting for the U.P. State Fair, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! The location was perfect, only about a 10-minute drive to Escanaba and Stacy and Carl were absolutely wonderful hosts. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how much thought and care they’ve put into this property. We booked our stay with the goal of only needing to bring a suitcase and a cooler, and the Little House truly had everything else we could possibly need! There was a note from our hosts and they gave us everything you needed to make smores!The full kitchen was stocked with utensils, pots and pans, a coffee maker with everything needed for coffee, and so much more. The beds were incredibly comfortable, with plenty of extra pillows and blankets. The bathroom and shower were beautiful, and there were plenty of towels for both the shower and hot tub. We especially appreciated all the conveniently placed towel hooks throughout the house!There were thoughtful little touches everywhere. There’s a shelf of games right by the entryway, and every drawer seemed to have something useful from restaurant guides and menus to things we didn’t even realize we might need. It truly felt like a home away from home.We also made great use of the grill for burgers, enjoyed the campfire, and of course… the HOT TUB! We used it more than FIVE times during our stay, and it was absolutely incredible.

Because another property cancelled we had to scramble to find 4th of July accommodations near Gladstone. We got really lucky and found this cottage. Easy location, close to town, quite from fireworks. Worked great for day trips up to Lake Superior as well. The hot tub came in handy after hiking at Pictured Rocks.

About the host

Hosted by Stacy

Host profile image

I'm your host, Stacy. My husband Carl and I own and operate The Kipling Cottages. We purchased and renovated The Last Resort Cottages in 2022. We purchased and renovated The Little House on Bayshore Drive in Kipling in 2023. We love the Kipling area. We are happy to provide clean, comfortable vacation rentals to our guests.

The Last Resort Cottages are located on Lake Michigan (Little Bay de Noc) and The Little House is about a mile away on Bayshore Drive. (not on the lake)

Why they chose this property

We are both from Gladstone, we love the Kipling area. We love the peaceful, easy feeling of being in Kipling and at the cottages.

What makes this property unique

Great central UP location. Close to Gladstone, Escanaba & Rapid River, yet a private country backyard. Deer wander through daily and several big bucks come every evening. It's fun to watch the deer from the hot tub or deck.

Kipling and Little Bay de Noc are well known for great fishing. We are very close to the bait shops and public launch. Ice conditions in Kipling are better than south of Gladstone, so ice fishing is very popular here.
