Quaint cottage for a relaxing vacation!
This was a modest cottage that fit the needs of our family very well! We traveled with 2 tddlers, and we loved that this place had kid-friendly books, toys, and amenities that made our packing list a lot shorter. We took the canoe out on the quiet lake and enjoyed a fire in the fire pit. This location was within driving distance of a bunch of fun waterfall hikes and beaches, so we definitely recommend it to those who want to stay in a more secluded location for some rest & relaxation in the outdoors.

Decent cabin
My husband and I booked for fishing. We did fish, but the misquotes were very bad. Grass was high. Coffee makers were nice. They have both kinds. They have many, many older cooking and kitchen items. Carpet and bedding were outdate.

Amazing Fall Experience
We stayed here as our base location while we hike around the Porcupine Mountains as well as visit Copper Harbor. The place is beautiful, especially with the Fall Foliage. We had everything we need. The washer/dryer, dishwasher, and fast wifi are a huge plus for us. We would definitely want to stay again.

Cozy cabin
Not fancy but very comfy and cozy. Typical up-north cabin. It rained and snowed most of the weekend we were there, but we were comfortable and warm watching Netflix and making meals. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. Kitchen is well stocked, and they have lots games and plenty of blankets, etc. Would definitely come back.

Spent 3 nights at Sandy Hollow. They supply everything you could possibly need for a great stay. We were gone exploring most of the time so we really weren’t there a lot. Quiet, on the lake and perfect for a relaxing getaway.

The cabin was small but met our needs for 4 adults and a pet. My only complaints that you have a few miles of very well plowed roads to get to the trail

Cozy, Comfortable, Clean Cabin
Absolutely loved this cabin and surroundings! Comfortable beds, great lake views, designed to accommodate a dog, (they have a trolley system and dog dishes), can walk down the road to Emily Lake's peaceful campground and scenic lake with boat access, not unreasonably far from Porcupine Mountains State and more. It takes longer than what is posted to travel to the Porkies. The Wi-fi connectivity was very strong but lost during heavy rain. I'd recommend bringing DVD's with if you want a backup source of entertainment along that line. We didn't use any of the watercraft provided, but it all looked to be in good shape. Very thoughtful of the owner to supply a cart to haul firewood. The photos of this property accurately capture the property. Owner was responsive to any questions. We appreciated that the walls weren't decorated with trophy mounts like many other rentals. The cabin has a peaceful vibe.

We spent two weeks here and had an excellent time exploring the Keeweenaw Peninsula. The cabin was a great place to stay and had all the amenities we needed. The lake was a great spot to fish or just explore by using the kayaks and paddleboat.
