Everything was just as the description and pictures described. A really nice place and very clean. The host was easy to communicate with and even allowed us to get in early.

Clean and comfortable. It is close to the road but is quiet inside. Very large backyard. Great host, responded to my questions very timely. I would stay here again.
The absolute best thing about the stay was the cleanliness of the home. Daryl’s attention to our needs was so wonderful….he made the stay the best it could be!
Cottage has everything that we needed. Very roomy. Close to several town with dining options, close to great hiking and close to the beach. Had a great time, as did our dogs and would not hesitate to stay here again. Daryl is a great host.
Clean and great home base to visit key outdoor activities and locations. Excellent host and easy to reach.

The cottage was perfect. It was clean and fully equipped. Even had an ice maker in the bar area. The location is perfect. We were near the beach and was within an hours drive from several attractions we wanted to visit
We enjoyed our stay at Mill Pond Cottage. It was a great central location for visiting many of the UP sites! Communication with the host was great and if anything was needed it was quickly provided.
Property was nice and comfortable, pictures were accurate. Nice location. We went to Grand Marais and Tahquamanon falls, easy trip to both places. Bedrooms, kitchen and bath were nice.
We loved our stay! The central location allowed for great day trips after cooking breakfast together in the spacious and fully stocked kitchen. Our evenings were quiet and the beds were very comfortable to prepare for the next days adventure. The host was very responsive with our few questions and everything was just lovely. Thank you for a great vacation hangout for our family!
