Family vacation

This place is perfect for people that want to get away from it all. The pictures don’t do it justice as it is so beautiful and peaceful and remote. It was so nice to get away from everything to spend time with our kids and fish and relax. The hosts Greg and Katie are very responsive.

Gorgeous seclusion!

This place is special. As described, it is beautifully situated on a private lake deep in the countryside of Michigan’s upper peninsula, while offering every comfort of home. We took full advantage of the fire pit, lake view, and the trails. Our host was very responsive when we had questions. The ONLY reason I have it 4 stars in “cleanliness”is due to flies, which is to be expected in a wooded setting.

Perfect Birthday getaway

A group of us went to celebrate a 40th birthday. This place was everything we were looking for. It was very secluded with no neighbors in sight! There were 11 of us and 2 dogs. We did a lot of fishing and paddle boarding (the boat and 2 paddle boards were provided at no extra cost!). Being from the city we all really enjoyed star gazing and we all saw shooting stars. The house was clean, the kitchen was well stocked and there was laundry on site. 10/10 would recommend staying here and we hope to rent this place again. Host was very responsive and readily answered all of our questions. Major plus for being a pet friendly property

We thoroughly enjoyed our week staying here. Even though it rained some the screened in gazebo was perfect. We enjoyed fishing, exploring the trails on the property and the ease of access to the state trails. The lake was beautiful and watching the wildlife and deer walking around the lake in the mornings. It was the relaxing and peaceful escape we needed!

We had a wonderful trip and truly enjoyed this property! It was a real treat to have our own private lake, and we could watch the fish jump, the busy beavers hard at work and the bald eagles looking for dinner. The hosts were exceptionally accommodating and very quick to respond to all our requests. We hope to stay again in the not too distant future!

Snowmobile heaven

Whether you're into off trail or on, they have it all. We had groups that did both and both had some epic days. Hosts were extremely helpful and accommodating. Definitely on our list of places to go back to.
