Great spot to stay between Marquette and the pictured rocks area. The unit was clean and well stocked. Communication with host was great, she responded back quickly when I messaged her. Will stay again if we head back up that way in the future. Overall, a great little spot for a family getaway.

Perfect

We spent 3 nights here and it was perfect. The property had everything we needed and some things we didn't even think about, it had. It's all very new and clean, well thought out. Separate bathrooms for each bedroom was awesome. We used the grill and had a campfire (wood was included). Dishwasher and laundry saved the day. Met Martha and she was so warm & friendly. Planning on making this our regular meeting place with friends. Also liked the bar and Co-op around the corner.
