Used Porcupine Place as our base for hiking the Porcupine Mtn SP and exploring the area. Property was clean, well eqipped, and gave us a good location for the Porkies, Ontanogan, and other sites. We enjoyed our stay.

The location was perfect a trip back “home”, I spent a lot of time just down the road at my grandparents house in the summer on the Cranberry river. We spent the day in the Porcupine mountains, and an evening on the beach for sunset and into the night. The house was perfect for us to make some memories of our own while sharing things I remembered growing up.

This property was perfectly located for what we needed. On a 2 week upper Michigan circle tour. Came in on the Ss Badger and camped a few nights in Wisconsin than wanted a good camp location to hike Porcupine mtn and than Kewanee. Than on our way toward Marquette to Sault St Marie finishing Drummond island over the Mackinaw bridge through the sunrise side of the lower.My only critic on the property was I specifically inquired if they had a bathtub, which they do but assumed the drain plug worked so I could soak in a tub at the end of the day. It did not work. Everything else was perfect!

Great home base

Enjoyed exploring the porcupine mountains and downtown Ontonagon. The inside of the house was perfect for our family of 5, and was spotless and had everything we needed. Sadly there were so many flies outside, so we didn’t really get to take advantage of the yard games. It’s on a busy-ish road, so not as peaceful as I was hoping for. But it was a good home base for our day trips. Loved the smart TV- it was nice to watch shows on Netflix together after a long day of hiking and exploring.
