Felt like an old friend right away. Very accommodating. Stayed for a few days of fishing on little bay and it was perfect. Right down the road from the boat launch. Place was clean and well stocked. Very peaceful.

We had a great stay! The house is really cute, well maintained and clean. The property is spacious and we enjoyed watching the deer that came through every morning and evening. It was a perfect weekend getaway.

This was a great place to stay in Gladstone! Comfortable and quiet. The mattresses are great, the kitchen has everything you'll need, and the entertainment options (smart TV) are an extra plus. Also the deer and turkey outside your window! Highly recommend.

Cozy, comfortable, with lots of space outside where dogs can run around without bothering people. Beautiful beach parks in Gladstone and Escanaba. The weather is a lot cooler than it is down in central Illinois, which I loved. Hope to come back next summer.
