Great little cabin. My kids loved going out in the kayaks. It was nice to have internet that worked so well.. especially since our cell service was sparse in that region. The little kids also loved all of the toys to play with.The lake was peaceful. Beautiful area.

We enjoyed our stay at this cute cabin! The cabin had everything needed for a nice fish fry and a good cold drink! We needed a restful break and we got it here. Our sweet "fish dog" Carly Simon enjoyed the lake! Thank you!

Great stay

We had a wonderful time and the hosts were great. I forgot to retain the passcode info for check in and then had no wifi/connection to look up the info so we had to drive up the road a ways until we had cell service (this was totally my fault) so friendly reminder to remember to get the information so this doesn't happen to you! Thanks for the great visit to the UP!

We really enjoyed our stay at this cute, charming cabin. Great place to relax and unwind.. We enjoyed fishing, having bonfires and listening to all the sounds of nature at night. We will recommend to friends and family and would stay here again. Good for the soul ❤. Thank you for sharing.

Relaxing lake getaway

The place is on a beautiful part of Gooseneck lake, we enjoyed a WFH vacation outside at the bar, watching nature. The pellet grill/smoker and boats usage was a huge plus for us. Just keep in mind that the only bathroom can be accessed only from one of the bedrooms and there’s a pass through between two rooms. It’s definitely a cabin for people who like each other. I would definitely stay here again!

Very nice place!

I went here with my boyfriend and two other couples. There’s 3 bedrooms so it slept the 6 of us perfectly. We loved the bonfire and indoor/outdoor bar area. The boys loved fishing on the lake there. There’s no phone service which is to be expected for that area, but the wifi was good and we had no issues using our phones at the cabin. Pictured rocks is only about 45 minutes away. Perfect little getaway!

Great getaway

We really enjoyed your little cozy home. Although the weather did not co-operate, we made the best of it by playing games inside and sitting by the fire to stay warm. We took a trip to Big Springs. This was the first time my daughter (22) and friends daughter (11) has been there. We enjoyed going out on the boat but could not find the paddle pontoon that you advertised. I emailed you but you did not respond. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we might try another trip when the weather is warmer.

Great quiet getaway

Wonderful little house on a quiet lake in the middle of the UP. Everything with the property is as advertised and the host is great with communication. We couldn't get cellular signal in this very secluded location, but the Wi-Fi works great … and maybe having no cell signal was a blessing to help enjoy the peace and quiet this place affords. Highly recommend and much appreciated!
