There is no official launch for Town Lake at Turtle Cove. There is not a public launch on the lake. A small boat may be possible to launch, yet it is not recommended.

Pet: 1 pet is allowed (no weight limit). Freshwater Vacation Rentals currently charges $75/per pet for your entire stay.
Swimming: Not a traditional swimming beach. The entire lake is hard sandy bottom. You can swim here-but the lake does get deep pretty quickly, so small kids should be monitored closely. The first 10 feet from shore goes from 0 ft to 2 ft. the next 10 ft from shore goes from 2 ft. to 5-6 ft. then drops to 12 ft. pretty quickly. There is a more traditional shallow water beach less than 1 mile away at Pete's Lake Day Use Area.
The cabin it large and comfortable but there were several issues where it needs general to advanced maintenance ... When I approached the entry door, I could see serious paint loss on the trim and soffits, there was plaster loss around the main bathroom tub, a kitchen cabinet door to the left lazy susan was hanging on by one hinge, the light over the sink was out and not replaceable, one frying pan should have been removed from inventory, one microwave oven did not work, the light dimmer switch knob for the light over the dining table was not operable I had to use the post to control the light, the large window overlooking the lake was VERY dirty and spoiled the view. This unit was not worth the asking price.
Good location near Munising and several attractions. The property was clean and had plenty of bedding and towels. We used both the grill and fireplace, which was great! The only downsides were that the beds were very squeaky, so not good for light sleepers, and the beach isn’t really one you would swim in due to the algae and muck - still enjoyed sitting lakeside tho! We also had our dog, and it was great to find a place that was pet friendly.
The listing should be more honest about the location of the grocery store. While technically there is a convenience store nearby, you can hardly classify it as groceries. Even the person working at Forest Glenn considered being listed as a grocery store quite a stretch. Stayers would appreciate knowing that you need to get groceries in Munising before going to the property. That information would have saved a lot of miles and aggravation. Other than that the place was great. Appreciated good quality paper products and that the tv got more television stations than subscription streaming services.
Super cute and comfy cabin, my family really enjoyed staying here. They have a boat or kayaks for you to use, along with fishing poles and life vests. I have stayed in variety of cabins in northern Minnesota on Lake superior and None of them had half the amenities nor all the room this one had to offer at a much smaller price. We were all sad that it was only a small stop on a much longer journey. We definatly plan to stay again!
Happy with everything about the property. Clean, cozy, private, great location, would highly recommended and would stay again.
The place worked well for our needs. The lake was the star of the stay. Clear and beautiful lake. Fun to kayak and swim.
Beautiful lake view, peaceful andbery relaxing
Roomy, clean and quiet surrounding. Close enough to the area’s tourism spots and a very beautiful area
Nice, comfortable, cozy roomy cabin on the lake. It had everything we needed. 15 minute drive to town.
Cottage was great. Larger than I thought it would be. Incredible view. Great location. Definitely would rent it again.
Beautiful view of the lake and surrounding. Quiet peaceful nights out back were great. Property very clean and a great neighbor that worked with us while letting our dogs out to play in the lake.
Very nice place to stay. The house just needed a few updates. Location was quiet and awesome!
Humidity was nothing that could be controlled but a better way to provide relief would make the property much better. The snarky notes about dishes and towels makes for a tenuous experience. There were no positive writings on the walls like “life’s better at the lake” or relax, everything is DONT DO THIS or we will expect a big tip. The experience was so bad we left on Friday and went and found a place with AC. It was futile to inquire because it’s obvious the property is all about ease for the housekeepers/owners and not the quests. The property is beautiful and picturesque, secluded, quiet, homey, adequately equipped just no way to cool the house off when it’s 80 inside the cabin.
Cute, comfortable cabin south of Munising. We enjoyed our stay.
Comfortable cabin. Good location. Right on Town Lake. Some maintenance on property needed to be addressed but housekeeper quickly took care of it.
Enjoyed staying at this property. My family and I stayed and enjoyed spending time together. The sun set was spectacular, so beautiful and gold in color. My grandkid took the kayak out fishing in the mornings. Would love to checkout their other properties. From my family to yours, Thank You So Much.
