Cabin was very cute and a nice place for our family trip. Area is quite and the fireplace on our cold fall nights was absolutely wonderful.

Very nice, clean and well-stocked small cabin on a big river-front lot. Beautiful and convenient setting along highway 95. Great fishing, hiking and hunting nearby. My Verizon phone had trouble getting a signal there but other carriers would probably be better. Wifi would have been nice but not everyone needs that. Ken and Sara were very nice and accommodating.

My husband and I had a wonderful time staying here. The grounds were peaceful and private, and we loved relaxing by the river. We kayaked upriver and saw a bald eagle, muskrat, and turtles! This is centrally located in the UP so we were able to check out many sites within a couple hours drive. The house had everything we needed, and Ken and Sara were responsive to all our questions. Ken told us about several area lakes, and we had a fantastic time kayaking and fishing. I highly recommend this home!

Cabin was perfect! Everything was clean, and it was very well stocked for our needs. The river was very peaceful and we even saw a few deer! Host was very quick to respond and very helpful throughout the stay. The internet is a bit spotty (it is the U.P after all) but with some patience it worked well enough for us. There’s no air conditioning but even on a 80 day it was fine after opening some windows. As a first time renter I was a bit anxious, but this was a perfect first stay!

It’s a very nice and clean cottage on a river. I stayed there because it was a central location to explore different places in the central Upper Peninsula. The location is a bit remote, being about 20 miles from a grocery store and restaurants, but I didn’t find that to be a major problem. All in all I had a pleasant experience and recommend this cottage to others.

Great Getaway

This is a great getaway for anyone who wants to enjoy the quiet outdoors. The owners checked in to make sure we made it, left kayaks out for our use and followed up on the day we left. Very friendly and clean!

Perfect quiet and remote

This was the perfect way for us to get away from the business of our lives with 6 children after caretaking for sick parents for the last 5 years. We napped in the quiet of the forest and did some sight seeing as we wanted. The cabin is well stocked you’ll only need to take some food and your personal items.

Amazing peace of paradise

Our stay was amazing. It was exactly what my family needed. The property is everything you could ever ask for and the cabin was super clean and cozy. It had everything you could think of to cook and plenty of things to entertain the kids. The river is really relaxing, we recommend making this your next destination.

Great cabin, quiet spot

A great little cabin to explore the UP from. Very relaxing and out of the way. Plenty of privacy yet all the comforts of home. No real cell signal, so be prepared to enjoy some of life without the internet. Would stay again!
