About this property

Tall Pines Private, Rustic, Lakeside Cottage

Enjoy breathtaking lakeside views and gentle breezes at our cozy retreat. The walls of windows face west, allowing you to witness spectacular sunsets over the bay while lounging on the deck at the water’s edge. Grill your dinner over the fire pit and take a leisurely paddle on the quiet 72-acre catch-and-release lake. Whether you’re into pike, panfish, or bass fishing, this serene setting will keep you busy all day.

Tucked away in the woods, you’ll feel miles away from the hustle and bustle, yet you’re just a short drive from all the attractions. Tall Pines, our updated cabin, seamlessly blends modern amenities with the rustic charm of an up-north getaway.

Perfect Getaway

My family and I enjoyed our little getaway on the lake. The girls loved the swim mat and spent hours playing. We jammed a lot of activities in our four day stay and we really enjoyed the cabin. Communication with host was very quick as well!

Our stay last week was amazing! The location was beautiful and peaceful. Communication was quick and friendly and we had everything we needed plus some. Everything was very clean and organized. Although we did a few day trips, we enjoyed spending time at the cabin fishing and relaxing the most. We will definitely book again!

Serenity

Beautiful location. Peaceful, comfortable beds, super cute, and close to the "General Store" if you need basics or just snacks. Great communication with the owners is needed (we asked for directions).If we ever visit Michigan again we would love to stay there again

Great getaway!

Property was clean and supplied. It is close to Munising and General Store is about 6 or 7 miles nearby. They have the best tasting ice cream we have ever had and so friendly! Tom and Britta are wonderful hosts. They are close by but respected our privacy and communicated promptly every time. Tall Pines cottage has a wonderful view and peaceful atmosphere, I highly recommend a stay here. Our family has cherished memories from this trip

Rustic vacation in National Forest

The cabin was everything we hoped; just secluded enough, clean, well stocked, comfortable and everthing was in working order. We especially enjoyed the deck and fishing off the dock. Host was responsive and friendly. We loved every minute of our stay.

Excellent Family Vacation Spot

We thoroughly enjoyed this cabin and all the activities available for use. We fished on the pontoon, kayaked, canoed, and my kids loved jumping off the dock to swim in the lake. Property was very clean and owners were great to work with and responded quickly to any questions or concerns. We would definitely stay here again :)

Great Family Get Away

Great time with family. Well stocked. Britta was very responsive. One recommendation: maybe post the house signage a little lower so it’s readily visible. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay! Thanks Britta.

Wonderful rustic cabin

Such a cute rustic cabin. Perfect location for visiting Munising and Pictured Rocks. We had a small kitchen sink leak and it was fixed within 30 minutes. Perfect stay. Make sure you bring plenty of bottled water because the water at the cabin is not great.

Serene Forest Setting

This cabin was exactly what we needed — a calm and quiet getaway in the woods with a beautiful view of the lake! It was close enough to stores/restaurants to get supplies when needed but felt very remote. We had a great time and would definitely return.
