Lake Michigan Cabin + Hot Tub & Spectacular Views • Sleeps 8

Owners were wonderful! Fantastic views!! Great place to get away.

Aaron was quick to respond to any questions I had during our stay. Was kind of surprised by how dirty windows and screens were upstairs and all the dead bugs behind furniture in bedroom. Other than that it was a wonderful sunrise to get up to every morning and quiet. I would stay here again if the opportunity arises again

The view was fantastic and a true UP cabin. The oven was updated when we got there and that was a lovely surprise! We played lots of games and a great atmosphere to just enjoy ourselves.

Positives: The location and view were beautiful; a new deck was beautifully built; furnishings and decorating were nice; kitchen was well stocked with new appliances; bath towels were clean and soft; little extras like bath wash and shampoo; and lots of soft throw blankets for cuddling. Negatives: This house was poorly built and is now desperately in need of repairs and maintenance. Not safe. Terrible mice infestation with poison traps under beds. Heard them in the walls, saw droppings and one popped out in bathroom. Evidence of water infiltration everywhere. Water was pouring in under the patio door and leaking into the lower level during rainstorm. Stairs were way too steep with no hand railings. All but one exterior door to the deck were nailed or taped shut. Queen bedroom door was so badly aligned that it had a large gap filled with foam insulation, duct tape and nailed strips of wood. Metal strap under the new deck keeping one of the patio doors from falling into the house. Main floor was sagging badly and 2x4s were being used as support beams. Tongue and groove flooring had many gaps, up to 1/2 inch wide, where you could see through to the floor below-- no subfloor. Fireplace had a wooden hearth with evidence of burn spots from embers. Extension cords were run all through the living room, including under the patio doors where water was leaking. Basement had gaps where you could see daylight. The rotting exterior siding left gaps in the walls and around entry door.

We had a group of nine and had a blast staying at the house. The house itself is old and very noisy when you walk around but the outdoor spaces made up for it. We loved the decks, hot tub, fire pit and private beach. It was a great location to explore the UP. Our dogs loved it too

After a five hour drive from southern Wisconsin, we arrived Monday evening to find the place totally unready for new guests. For example: - There was a large circular wet spot soaked through from the comforter to the mattress on one of the beds - Cleaning supplies were left out (i.e. vacuum, supply bucket, rags) - There was a dirty bucket of water in the living room - The washer and dryer were full of laundry (wet stuff in the washer) - The hot tub was full of sand, dirt and grass - There was a wet & dirty towel laying in the middle of the deck - The previous renter had left a shirt and credit card behind, both of which were just laying about The owner had provided the number for the property manager, so we called that number first. The property manager basically argued with us and then begrudgingly agreed to check with the cleaning crew and get back to us. That never happened. We then sent a message to the host (Aaron) through VRBO (the only means of communication we were given for the host). We explained the situation and stated that we could not stay in the place in the condition it was in (who wants to sleep in a wet bed?) and requested a refund as we were going to try to find somewhere else to stay. The host did not reply. Three days later we received the standard check out instructions from the host. There was no acknowledgement of our issues or previous messages. I messaged again pointing out the issues and my prior messages. The owner NEVER responded. Simply u

The listing photo of this property is very accurate regarding the view you will see! The deck area is at two levels with plenty of comfortable seating. The beach is quiet, clean and excellent for walking. There are plenty of water sports gear and beach chairs. Dogs can walk on the beach or take a walk on the lane through the woods that leads back to several different private beach properties. Upon arrival the house was clean and tidy. There has been some water/ice/snow damage to the entry door and the doors leading to both deck levels which I trust that the host will fix. However, for our trip it meant that we had to keep the deck doors shut and we could not enjoy the breeze or sounds of the water. The interior is nicely decorated with plenty of storage in the four bedrooms and plenty of comfortable inside seating. The dining table is very large great for large groups and playing cards. Plenty of kitchenware, plates and silverware. Great location for trips to Manistique, Munising, Grand Marais and Escanaba. Great locally owned restaurants. No issues that we needed to contact the host with and a local number was provided for a property manager in case we had any. My family would love to return once the door issues are resolved.

The location is great..wonderful view...was well stocked...HOWEVER IT NEEDS MAJOR STRUCTURAL REPAIRS THAT IF NOT DONE SOON WILL BE VERY DANGEROUS. There were only two doors out of six that were usable to the outside. The two usable doors were also in need of being replaced because of gaps. The decks are new but the wood logs on house around deck and other areas are rotted and screens all need replacing …they are held together with duck tape. They used spray foam to fill in gaps around most doors which made them unusable. No exit in queen bedroom to outside because of this. The main wood floor has significant gaps between some of the boards and you can see light from the lower level thru these gaps.. Sweeping the floor causes sand and dirt to fall thru onto beds and furniture in lower level. Walking on those areas cause floor to give making you feel unsafe. This house needs to be inspected for these safety issues.

We had a great time at this place. The view was amazing! The swarms of ducks and seagulls were very entertaining. We had one small issue, but the owners nicely responded and made everything right.

This is a wonderful place to get away and enjoy the UP. Plenty of space for larger groups and the new decks are wonderful. We stayed in the fall and enjoyed the hot tub and fireplace! There are stairs to climb to enter the home and stairs to reach the main floor, not a deterrence but good to know if you have anyone with difficulty getting around.
