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.
