We had an absolute amazing and epic time staying at this wonderful cute, clean and cozy little home right on the lake! I traveled with my 3 children ages 15, 11, and 7 and we also brought along our 3 fur babies! The location is perfect and super close to the natural spring Kitch-iti-Kipi which is breathtaking! We also traveled just 55 minutes to Munising to do a private pictured rocks tour! We brought two jetskis and paddle boards to use on the massive lake and it felt so private being there. My children and husband caught serval fish including walleye, bass and sunfish. The owner was super caring and very detailed and also responded quickly to things. We were able to have the one of the best weeks staying here and would definitely stay again if we ever had the chance! Thank you for providing such a nice experience and comfortable home for us.
The home and dock. I’m standing in the water as it’s nice and shallow far out off the shore.
