The cottage house had everything we needed, and of course, you cannot beat the view from the back deck! My friends and I really enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent here again. One note: If you are mobility impaired, the bathroom shower is a bit small.

Clean and Cozy Cabin

This was a wonderfully clean and cozy cabin right on Indian Lake. We enjoyed Waggs (the neighbor's dog) greeting us upon arrival and before we left for each day's adventure. The close proximity to Kitch-iti-kipi, downtown Manistique, Munising, and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore was awesome. Thank you for a great stay!

On Indian Lake

The lake location was great for sunsets. Too rainy for water activities or campfire. We explored many of the nearby State Parks as well as the Garden Peninsula.

Weekend getaway

Nice stay at the cabin. The location is very nice and the outdoor space more than met our needs. The bedrooms and bathroom are a bit cozy, but they worked just fine. We had hoped to get our canoe out on the lake but the weather had other plans.

It was the perfect little house for my group and my 92 year old mother really appreciated it. Beautiful view of The lake and easy to find except your GPS is going to tell you it’s on the left and it’s actually on the right.

lovey location right on the water. I would have appreciated interior more without the deer head on the wall and all the deer pictures—more of a lake theme?
