We just got back from our stay at the house and it was great! We had two families, total of 9 people, including kids 6y.o. - 15 y.o. The house is close to everything (Miners Castle ~10 min, Chapel Falls ~ 20 min, downtown Munising ~ 25 min, Au Train ~ 35 min, Marquette ~ 50 min). Beautiful, private setting! SPOTLESS! Brand new! Top notch appliances and finishes! HOT water, good pressure, no residue!
PROS:
- general location
- end of the street with huge private, driveway, front and back yards
- XL refrigerator with ice/water dispenser, we brought our groceries and were able to fit enough for two families!
- 2 Large drink/wine coolers
- tons of cabinet space
- new large grill
- fully stacked with silverware, dishes, grilling utensils, spices, tupperware, foil, cling etc....
- open concept
- very friendly and accommodating management
CONS/SUGGESTIONS:
- WiFi is extremely spotty and weak, especially with 9 people in the house. I realize that it's not what UP is known for, however, beware. Download kids movies and games ahead of time. As well as MAPS of the entire UP area
- No recycling services. If we knew, we would have taken our recycling back home with us
- would like to see some kinda shelf/bench in the master bathroom for extra stuff
- No blinds on windows makes it hard to sleep-in
Our suggestion for the first day activity is Miners Castle overlook and 2.5 mile hike to the beautiful beach. We got there at 4pm and were back at the house for dinner.
We would definitely be back! So much to do in that beautiful area! Comfortable house took the stress out and made it easy to travel with kids!
