The place was very cute and very welcoming. I loved how they had things labeled everywhere so you knew where things were or what to do the pictures on the website. Don’t do it justice. It’s much cuter in person. We really enjoyed it. We were only there two days, but if we were to ever come back up that way, we would definitely stay there again And I’m gonna be telling my kids about it so that when they go up to go snowmobiling, hopefully they can stay there.

Well Kept Cottage

This is the most well maintained VRBO we have ever stayed at. New windows with working shades, great screens that kept out the mosquitoes and cranked easily. All the appliances are new and work wonderfully. Filtered water is available from the fridge door and there is an ice maker in the freezer. The air conditioning in the living room kept us cool in the middle of the day. The bathroom had great water pressure and no drippy faucets. The owner provided chairs for the fire pit and cozy flannel blankets in the bedrooms. The couch and chair in the living room are very supportive and you dont sink down onto the floor. The beds are comfortable. All the switches are labeled and work. The house was quite clean. The VRBO is a quick 10 minute drive into Munising. We loved relaxing here between all our adventures! If you stay here you will NOT be disappointed.

Great host!

Absolutely loved our stay here. Everything was well-marked (even light switches!) and documented. Beds were comfy. I honestly didn't use the kitchen much, so can't comment on it, but it looked well stocked. The host was fantastic. My husband tore his quad tendon on the way to the house (leaving another bnb) and the host was great about recommending things to do/see with my husband's new limited mobility (we'd planned a lot of hiking). Fantastic to work with. We were there for fall colors, but will be recommending it to a family for snowmobiling season - it looked very well set up for that. Only one thing could be improved... but it's typical of vacation home rentals recently... some luggage racks in the bedrooms would be nice. We used some folding chairs to make one for my husband in the bedroom we used (and I used one of the beds in a bedroom we didn't use). We really loved everything they have done to ensure you have a nice stay. They have put a LOT of thought and care into it. I can't recommend it enough.

Home away from home

From the moment we pulled up, it was like being at home. The Cozy Cabin was just that! With everything needed for a large family to bonfire or cook big dinners. Snuggling on the couch for movies or just as a comfortable place to sleep. It had something for everyone in our family including fun board games that were a treat. We enjoyed our time at the house as much as our time exploring the surrounding areas. Communication was amazing and so helpful. We definitely will be planning another trip in the future!
