Loved how cozy the cabin was. Super thankful for places that let you bring your dog. This place even has the baggie station available in case you did not have any or ran out for your dog. A relaxing place on the lake.

Weekend getaway

The location is quiet and private.There are 5 cottages and a main house so you have some privacy. The cottages are nice and have all your necessities. The view of the lake is beautiful! We all enjoyed our stay at Elemental on beautiful Shag Lake! Our host George was helpful and communication was perfect!

Enjoyed our stay!

We had a great time. The cabin was clean and a/c worked wonderfully the one day we needed it. Only complaints were the cabin smelled a bit musty and the water smelled like sulfur. Bring your own drinking water and leave the a/c on “dry” and you will have a great place for the price.

Such a fantastic location!

This is not a luxury experience. It's clean, it's beautiful outdoors, but there's nowhere comfortable to sit inside or out. Bring your best lawn chair or hammock, and you won't want to budge. Plenty to do all day nearby, and there is a comfortable bed and a shower and shared hot tub. Well water, but again,it's all about the location. a comfortable bed

Elemental Resort, Shag Lake

There are many things to appreciate about this property; the lovely lake, being able to bring the dogs, the lovely area. There were things that needed attention, small things that made for detailing the place with more charm and needed things. I brought them up to our host George. He was very willing and thoughtful to attend to them. All and all the property is comfortable. The host is a nice man.

On a beautiful lake...

The cabins are rustic - that part is fine. The problem is that they are dirty. Dust bunnies on floor, filthy stained shower and the shower liner was so disgusting we went and bought a new one along with some bleach

Quick response to questions

When we arrived there was no bed in the bedroom. They responded quickly with a new mattress and box springs. Picnic table only had one side for seating. Only two towels for 4 days. The general apperance of the cottage area was ok. All in all an ok visit.

Sweet little Cabin

We loved our stay at this lakeside cottage. We used it mostly for a home base but fishing off the dock/boats in the mornings & evenings was lovely. We had an issue with our fridge not being cool the first night, and George bought our ice for our coolers and offered us more coolers of his if needed. Super attentive and kind host! By the morning our fridge was fine and working great. As listed, there’s enough kitchenware for basic things but bc we went a little all out for a few meals we needed to measure things with our hearts and get creative as there wasn’t steak knives or measuring utensils, etc, but otherwise we really did have everything we’d need. Short drive to Marquette & not a bad drive to Munising. Our neighbors were nice. Didn’t use the hot tub but enjoyed the aluminum boats and grill. Would stay again.

I would like to talk to the people that have left great reviews of the is property. We are a group of dirt bike riders and have stayed in many, many cabins throughout the US. Some pretty rough shape, but this place by far was the dirty, old, poorly equipped cabin we have ever stayed at. the sheet and bedding had stains. The pullout couch had black stains on the mattress looked like mold. refrigerator barely cooled enough to keep our food cold. shower had mold in the caulking. All I can say is the cabin was not fit for rental. I generally do not leave reviews, but this one had to be done. Kitchen was from 1960s, stove was dirty, but it worked. no dish soap to wash dishes. I purchased a bottle from the local store. If we could have found another place to stay, we would have left the cabin.

Heaven on Earth.

You cannot pick a more beautiful spot to vacation in Upper Peninsula. The location is perfect, not too far from Marquette or Ishpeming. The cabins are clean and have had some modern upgrades. And just steps away from Shag Lake which you can just walk down the steps and jump right off the dock and into the clean. Pretty much, . Just Perfect.
