Great Stay

Great spot to stay between Marquette and the pictured rocks area. The unit was clean and well stocked. Communication with host was great, she responded back quickly when I messaged her. Will stay again if we head back up that way in the future. Overall, a great little spot for a family getaway.

Perfect

We spent 3 nights here and it was perfect. The property had everything we needed and some things we didn't even think about, it had. It's all very new and clean, well thought out. Separate bathrooms for each bedroom was awesome. We used the grill and had a campfire (wood was included). Dishwasher and laundry saved the day. Met Martha and she was so warm & friendly. Planning on making this our regular meeting place with friends. Also liked the bar and Co-op around the corner.

Fall in the U.P.

This place was a great hub for our stay in the U.P.! Clean, comfortable, full working kitchen, great that each BR had it's own full bath. Loved the firepit!! Easy communication w/ owner. The Co-op market had a little something of everything. Easy drive to Munising, Marquette, Grand Marais.

Enjoyed the property very much. Nice bedrooms though the one room is slightly crowded with 2 sets of bunk beds as well as the queen size bed. All other rooms were spacious and very comfortable. The outside patio was nice to relax. The whole unit was very clean. I would recommend.

Hiking Heaven

This was a great home base for our week of hiking in Pictured Rocks. We had everything we needed and was great to build a fire in the evening on the patio—perfect for stargazing. Our waitress at Chatham Pub was super friendly and the ice cream from Mama Cow’s was fantastic.
