This was our third time at the Reel Inn Cabin, and it is always fantastic. We love being right on the river and walking to Lake Superior. The managers were responsive and we made great use of the cabin and the kayaks and canoe. Thanks for a great getaway!

When you think of the UP, you think of a cozy wood cabin. Thats exactly what this was. Being right on water was an added bonus. There is a local restaurant, syore and gas station within 5 minutes that has whatever you need. It also sits close to munising and Marquette. Excellent place

The cabin was very nice. I do have one concern. When I opened the shower, there was a dirty, very hard white wash cloth on the floor. I removed it and put it in the hamper. Overall, the cabin was very clean. Thank you!
