What an amazing place! I've been coming to Upper Holmes lake for many years and I'm quite familiar with this property. The makeover this cabin and lakefront have undergone is nothing short of incredible. Our family has grown up fishing the Michigamme Reservoir and the lake here. Always able to catch some great bass, gills and if you like, pike, muskie, and walleye. There are some real trophy fish in these waters. Fishing isn't the only thing to do around here though, since there is a great sandy shoal and small boat dock for spending the day in the sun, swimming when you get too hot! When you get hungry there's a great picnic table for dinner and bbq! The perfect way to end the day is by watching the sunset over the lake. Breathtaking is an understatement. The wildlife you'll encounter is unreal. I've seen deer, bear, wolves, coyotes, turkeys, and very often bald eagles on the lake. Though very rare, it's possible to see moose, bobcats or cougars. There is a great public boat launch at the Michigamme where you can spend the day tubing, water skiing, jet skiing, take your pick! Our kids have made memories doing these things that they'll remember for the rest of their lives. I've brought friends up who love the outdoors but also like to stay in touch. Cell phone service is sufficient to make phone calls I've found and we use both Verizon and Sprint. Also, if you forgot to get some things in town it just a short trip back down either Rock Crusher Rd. or W.P.A.. The IGA is a great stop for groceries and Fob's is perfect for breakfast before heading home or lunch/dinner if you've been in town shopping all day. Both Iron Mountain and Iron River are close enough to visit, as is Escanaba. The house is completely renovated and looks brand new. The wood just shines in the house with all of the natural light coming through the big front windows and slider. The kitchen is also new with a propane refrigerator and a great range oven. The bathroom is perfectly clean, renovated and spacious. Finally the 2 bedrooms make winding down at the end of the day so peaceful. Speaking of peaceful, this is a private, secluded lake with several cabins, none of which are inhabited year round. It wouldn't be surprising to go several days without seeing anyone drive by. Overall my family and I are always amazed by this special place on earth and will continue to come back for the rest of our lives. Highly recommended!
