Parking: Two cars with trailers.

Pets: 2 Dogs. Freshwater Vacation Rentals currently charges $75/per pet for your entire stay. Yes, we do accept dogs, yet we do ask that you please clean up after them both inside and outside the cabin.

Just let us know which bed you will be using with them, and we'll make sure it is ready for your sheets when you arrive. Plus, if the pet hair starts to build, we do ask that you please run the vacuum. Generally, dogs love the water and places to explore. Pet food does tend to attract mice, so vigilance is needed.

Privacy: One neighbor right next door by the treeline

Very clean and accessible. Only 30 min to Marquette and 20 min to Munising. Recommend checking out the Deer Lake area; nice place but we didn't have much time there. ORV rentals in Munising. One of our teens slept on the couch, which was comfortable.
