UP Adventure Vaca
Property was excellent in so many ways: privacy, welcome gift basket, clean and very organized, comfortable and family centered decoration, abundant wildlife viewing, well maintained beach and footpath. The property clearly shows the personality and thoughtful intent of the owners. Our family of 4 adults, 2 children (5 and 2) would not hesitate to stay here again, or to highly recommend it.

Great Escape
The property was perfect for our stay. The guys went ice fishing and the gals stayed in the warm and cozy house. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and enjoyed the comfortable sitting areas. Monica was very welcoming and made herself available to us if we had issues, but nothing came up.

Great vacation for two families with little kids.
We had a great experience at this property. We had two families with a total of 6 little kids under age 8 and Monica and Morley had everything set up for us including a double cot in the den and a pack-n-play for the toddler. The private beach is great, a bit of a steep hike back but beautiful and relaxing. The kids loved playing in the sand and on the swim raft. The kayaks were great and in awesome condition. The fire pit at the beach made for a comfortable afternoon on a chillier day. There is ample fridge space with an extra fridge in the garage. We did easy day trips within a hour to Pictured Rocks, Fayette and Kitch-iti-kipi. We didn’t get to utilize the deck in the evening as much as we’d have liked to because previous renters had damaged the screened in tent and bugs get a little intense at night, which was disappointing. A few things would have made our stay a little bit easier, a dishwasher and more spare towels. Also removing breakable/choke-able decor when little kids are in the group. The owners have some cool decor and accessories that include animal skulls and rocks but we had to move them out of fear the kids would damage them or lose them. Overall it was a great UP retreat that was true to the UP lifestyle. Lots of wildlife, including a fawn we saw nightly. The house and surrounding property is beautiful.

Rural lovely cabin and gardens
Pulling up to the property after a long travel day was a pleasure. The deck, being located in the rear, private and large, was properly lit for intimate family conversation, or reading Pandora on your cell phone. Just the right ambiance. This cabin is an artists delight, comfortable, and with everything one could possibly require and more. The hummingbirds were mesmerizing, the gardens wonderfully kept and we were allowed to help ourselves to the veggie bounty. If there was another star, this host couple definitely earned it. I highly recommend this magnificent property for a family week filled with memories.

We had a Wonderful time!
We are a large family of 13, and when we were looking for a vacation house there were some things that were important to us. With having a walk through the woods to the lake I was concerned about wild animals and how thick of the woods it was. We were happy to know for as secluded as it seems there are neighbors and the walk down to the lake was safe and quite enjoyable. I was reassured we didn't have to worry about bears. We did spot some deer close by as well as bald eagles! Once at the lake it was a mother's dream! There was plenty of sand for the little ones to play in, a stream for them to walk in and the water stays shallow for a LONG way out. Plenty of chairs, a swing, a fire pit, and even a camper if someone wanted to camp out. We all thoroughly enjoyed it! The house has plenty of spots to sleep. Lots of blankets , sheets, pillows, and a pack n play. There's a secret spot for the children to play in. Coffee stations, three bathrooms two showers( but no bathtub), large area for coats and shoes. It was nice to be able to pick produce from the deck. The bugs weren't bad at all for us, but if they are, there's a zipped canapy tent with nice relaxing chairs. It was nice to meet the owners who care very much for their property and enjoy meeting new people. If we were to have any issues they were close by. Thanks for opening up your beautiful home for us to enjoy!

Fantastic experience!
Our group of 8 absolutely loved our stay at this wonderful property! The hosts have thought of everything to make the home and surroundings welcoming and relaxing. The house provided plenty of space for us to hang out/read/play games/cook, and the private beach was amazing with plenty of kayaks and water toys included. The hosts were friendly and gracious and provided a perfect quick tour of the property to make sure we knew our way around. We are already checking our calendars for our next trip!

Just like home
This vacation rental felt just like home. The owners met us at the property to show us around and teach us how everything works. Being someone who uses rentals regularly, this was such a nice touch and ensured we knew where everything was. They had the home set up for us ahead of time with beds/cots laid out for our kids and all ready to go. The beachfront property was the highlight of the trip. They had kayaks and life jackets for us to use, some sand toys, an amazing area for seating, etc. As a mom with small children, the water was perfect because it was a sandy bottom and you had to go pretty far out to get into deep water. That gave me a lot of peace of mind as my kids played. This rental has everything you need for a comfortable stay and I hope we get to go back and stay again sometime.
