Republic, Michigan
Cozy cottage perfect for a couples getaway. Down a curvy dirt road, deep in forest of the birch and maple trees, this cute little gem of a cottage sits above beautiful and tranquil Sundog Lake. This cottage faces west and has the best view of the most amazing sunsets. There's a deck on the front to enjoy the lake view or enjoy the wooded view from the back deck. You'll see and hear wildlife galore here; deer, moose, loons, and the eagles frequently perch around this cottage. Sundog Lake is a private (no public access) spring fed lake. It's a quiet lake with the occasional fishing boat or pontoon puttering by. You have your own private dock to fish from or put out a chair and read a book. The shoreline is sand with some rocks and clams. Great swimming, relaxing on a tube but there is lake vegetation beyond the dock. Inside you'll find an efficient retreat. What she lacks in size, she makes up for in pure charm. Main level has a bedroom with a queen bed, full bathroom (stand up shower), full kitchen equipped with everything you will need, and living area with a natural fireplace. Upstairs is a loft open to the front of the home. The loft has games, books and a rocker to enjoy the view. Also in the loft are two small, but functional bedrooms. These bedrooms are open to the loft area. There is lots to explore in the Republic area like kayaking, and hiking and you are 45 min from Iron Mountain, 60 minutes from Marquette, 60 minutes from Canyon Falls, 90 minutes from Bond Falls (plus, lots to see along the way). We hope you'll come stay with us and enjoy the quiet, peacefulness of the stunning central U.P.

Cute little house way off the main road. Nice quiet place to walk your dog. Beautiful lake to kayak.
Had a great time. Loved the wild like and the peaceful of the place! We will for sure be back!
This was such a cute cabin incredibly clean and over all just gives you the comfort of being at home while away from home. The view from the porch was breath taking. We hope to stay again next year! The host was also amazing, our GPS wasnt working because of limited cell service. The host sent us the directions ahead of time thankfully!!! Thank you again for making our family vacation AMAZING!!!
Beautiful lake to kayak on. Peaceful with joy of seeing deer, cranes,and Bald Eagles.
We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin! It's off the beaten path, which was exactly what we were looking for. It was on the small side, but it wasn't a big deal when we spent most of our time outside. The outside area is very spacious. There is plenty of room in the front yard for yard games and to have a fire and grill. There is a nice deck on the back overlooking the lake, which was perfect for early morning coffee and reading time. The lake itself was beautiful, calm, and clear. Our kids had a blast jumping off the pier and floating in tubes. They also caught multiple fish. The 2 kayaks that are provided were in great condition, they seemed brand new. This was such a wonderful vacation, and we would definitely return!
This was a lovely, quiet cabin. We’ll maintained but also the charm of a cabin that’s been there a while. The loft was a favorite for our two kids. We stayed during the week and only saw a few people on the water all week. There is a neighbor next door but not there during our stay. Of all the places we’ve stayed, this was comparatively tougher to get to. We brought our food for the week which I recommend, since it’s not convenient to drive back and forth to places - just stay and relax! The firewood was a surprising bonus. There is a small rowboat and two kayaks which we got a lot of use from. It was weedy off the end of the dock but it’s a lake, so the girls jumped in anyway. Loved the lounge furniture on the lake side of the cabin just to sit and enjoy the view. The wind and unusually chilly weather kept the bugs away which was nice. Owners were helpful with instructions before our stay and with information in the cabin. We enjoyed our stay and this was a great alternative to busy resort cabins if you want to avoid crowds.
We loved our time at Yukon Cottage! The owner was very helpful and informative. We caught a TON of bass and bluegill with an occasional crappie and perch. The lake is so quiet and the wildlife was great. Be sure to follow Kristen's directions since GPS gave us incorrect ones. We would definitely stay at Yukon again!!
A very clean lake and cabin. Loved the kayaking, swimming, and playing the vintage board games. The bedding blankets were incredibly cozy and were a wonderful touch. We had everything we needed. Perfect for a family of four and a pup that are up exploration. Nights are very buggy so campfires outside were a no go for us. Flies could be a nuance on the dock depending on the wind but once out in the water, they were less bothersome on those days.
This cottage was very cozy and well stocked with what you would need. The Owners are friendly and responsive. If someone is looking to get away from the hustle and bustle, this cottage would be great! Views of the lake are gorgeous.
