    I've been renting houses for vacations across the country for decades, and this is among the very best. It was very clean, comfortable, well stocked, and the property itself was just gorgeous. Everything about it is new, modern, and best-quality: appliances, countertops, windows, linens, beds, etc. Host was very kind and generous, and the answering service hospitality was next level (not that I needed it). Decorations were fantastic. Owner has very good taste, IMO. It felt like home. Basically, the entire experience was exceptional.

    This welcoming cottage was the perfect location for our family get away. Plenty of outdoor seating, and a beautiful view from indoors provided our family time to enjoy nature every minute. The cottage was impeccably clean. The beds were comfortable, and we had what we needed to prepare meals indoors and outside. The location was convenient to many of the main attractions that the Upper Peninsula has to offer. Our favorites include Miners Beach in Munising, Fayette Historic State Park, and the Seney National Wildlife Refuge.

    What a beautiful location right on Lake Michigan . the house was spotless with all the amenities that you would need. The only noise was the sound of the waves!

    This rental was absolutely amazing! Not one thing was missed. From the handwritten notes to the guide with information on things to do, places to visit and eat. Every single detail was taken care of with such thoughtfulness. I would highly recommend this booking to anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing getaway.

    This place is beautiful inside and out! We really enjoyed our week here, which included working a few days from the house and beach hut, followed by several day trips around the UP. The host thought of everything to make our stay incredibly welcoming and comfortable, from personalized artwork to one of the most well-stocked kitchens we’ve ever used in a rental. Spending time on the beach was the perfect way to unwind after our daily adventures.The local grocery store had everything we needed to make breakfast and dinner each day. Communication with the hosts was excellent, and while cellular service in the area is limited, the Wi-Fi in both the house and the hut worked perfectly for two people with multiple devices connected and on video calls. We had a very relaxing week and are already looking forward to returning!
