We loved this cabin. Check in was very easy. Powell Lake was beautiful and quiet. Todd was easy to get ahold of when we had a question.The location is perfect for getting around in Munising and surrounding areas. Our bed was really comfortable. The living room felt very cozy. The access to the lake was perfect. We really appreciated having a washer and dryer. The kitchen had everything we needed. The only reason I didn't give this five stars is because I had to wash some dishes and utensils before I used them. With that being said, it was a wonderful place, and I would recommend to friends and definitely consider staying again. Thank you again for having us.
Todd, the owner, was fantastic. It was a rustic experience, a real escape from city life. Gorgeous lake and area. If you're after luxury though, this is not it.
Overall I was pleased with my stay. The fire pit area could use some new chairs and it needs a little outdoor love such as hand railing and landscape. The inside was cozy and clean. The view of the lake was beautiful. I would definitely stay there again
This property is a wonderful place to get away with the ones you love and relax. If you are looking for a five-star resort atmosphere this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a great, clear/clean private lake to fish, swim and kayak/boat on without a lot of boat traffic, offering comfortable but not fancy amenities you will be thrilled. Being a nature nut who loves to explore, Munising is one of my favorite places in all of the world. It's natural beauty is pure and picturesque. The beaches on Lake Superior rival any I've visited in the tropics on a warm, black fly free day. Pictured rocks hiking trails, and other area trails, are unparalleled with breathe taking beauty. Powell Shores is an awesome home base for your UP exploration.
We really enjoyed easy access to the spring-fed, crystal clear lake. This was the first time we rented a house in the UP with great internet access. It was very close to Munising and communicating with Todd always got a quick response.
We loved our time at Powell Shores. Todd was great and was very easy to communicate with. The place was clean and cozy. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Powell Shores provided a relaxing getaway for a few snowy nights. The cabin was 15 minutes outside of Munising, a quaint town on Lake Superior. We found trails to ski and hike in the snow that were close by and enjoyed being a little more secluded. Can’t wait to spend some more time in the UP and at Powell Shores!
We had a wonderful time at Powell Shores! We came at a perfect time in the Fall, the leaves were at their peak! Todd was very responsive and checked in with us to see if we needed anything on the day of arrival. He also set out kayaks for us and we got good use out of the cabin's rowboat. He even had life jackets for the kids! We went to all the popular falls in Munising and also did the Pictured Rocks Boat Tour. The private lake , however, was the favorite of our trip. Not only were the views right out of the living room window but we enjoyed it's tranquility, stillness and quiet. At night, we enjoyed looking at the stars against a backdrop of pitch blackness. We made good memories here:)
Cute and cozy cabin! Just what we were looking for to get away (: Loved being on the water with the picture window to see it every morning. Super close to munising, so many nature walks, waterfalls, and exploring to do! Our GPS took us on a two track trail (legit) when we first were on our way to the cabin but there's another route that's an actual road! Just double check gps! Cabin has nice privacy, a fire pit, a dock (a bit crooked but totally functional!) A canoe and rowboat, washer and dryer with access outside and downstairs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
We’ll begin with the good. Powell Lake is a clean, quiet location offering seclusion, nature and water sports close to Munising, Pictured Rocks and other U.P. attractions. Owner Todd was kind and responsive to inquiries. This being said, our stay was not what we expected based on the listing, the reviews given or the lodge’s website. It is understood that the U.P. has different standards than much of the country, and that this is a fishing cottage and snowmobiler’s hangout. However, there is no way that the property delivered a 5-star experience. The 4.5 star “cleanliness rating” is the most baffling to us. We found cobwebs and dust everywhere, and we had to wash all the bath towels in hot water and hyper-dry them to kill the mildewy smell in all of them. We literally found dirty dishes in the cupboards. We cannot understand where the glowing reviews came from. There apparently has been a serious and damaging rise in the lake level, as the advertised beach and firepit are under four feet of water, as is the former dock (there is a “new” dock sagging into the water which is usable). Obviously, the level of the lake is beyond the owner’s control, however, amending the listing is not, and it constitutes truth in advertising. An honest listing would mention that some features are unavailable this year, due to lake levels, as we have seen other VRBO owners do with Lake Michigan rentals. Even IF the listing was not amended, it would be common courtesy to inform a potential renter of the differences in the rental in real time vs. the listing. There were a multitude of other issues, but we don’t want to go on and on because the point here is not to berate someone who is trying to make his property work for him. However, given our disappointment, we don’t want anyone else to be misled (intentionally or unintentionally), so we’re being honest for the sake of future customers.
