We arrived in the UP and North Woods on what had to be the hottest day there in quite some time (I think it was 98 degrees(!)). Nevertheless, this property oozed refreshment and rest as soon as we entered. Open windows and fans did the trick and all was well.
The river is indeed just outside the doors and visible from the kitchen. My husband, who had been yearning to fish for years, was...pretty happy, to put it mildly. Check-in was smooth and easy as could be. The kitchen was very clean and well-stocked with pots, pans, glassware, and spices (previous guests had also left a lot of leftover canned or nonperishable foods, so I would recommend checking to see what's there before heading to the store). The bed and couches were also very comfortable, and we enjoyed using the DVD player - once we found it. :) The weather cooled off significantly and wonderfully just 12 hours after we arrived and we very much enjoyed using the woodburning fireplace - a real treat in July!
The only possible requests we would have is to ensure more updated information is in the binder. We were flummoxed for a bit about the thermostat, though that was resolved pretty quickly. Cell service is spotty -- text messages I sent weren't received by the other party for 12-24 hours, but again, that is to be expected. (Lack of wifi was a welcome respite!) The sound system didn't seem to be set up to work at all, and the DVD projector had been moved -- it was in the living room next to the desk with the binder. These, however, are small things. We were grateful to the owners and loved our time in this cabin. We can't wait to return!
