We had a great time here! The lake is beautiful, the swimming area is very nice, and the boats and kayaks provided were fun!The space is private enough from the other rentals, and host is friendly and available if needed. It’s only 10-15 to town, which is very cute, with friendly people. We and our teens loved the jet boat tour!

Great location, beatiful quiet lake and close to pictured rocks. Needs better air conditioning - loft gets very warm in the evening even mild days. Other renters on property making it awkward to use grill.

Quiet fall getaway
Visited Munising area to see fall foliage and do some hiking. The Wetmore cabin was clean and quiet. Small kitchen was very convenient. Suited our needs perfectly.

Great place to stay near Munising
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this Cabin. It was very nicely kept and comfortable with all the amenities. The location is a perfect distance from Munising (close to town, but not too close). The setting on Powell Lake is beautiful and peaceful. The water is crystal clear. It was a great resting spot after our adventures around Pictured Rock National Park. We also got to do some pretty decent fishing on the dock and using the boats and Kayaks provided. The hosts were very friendly, responsive and accommodating.
