Anniversary and Fishing Trip

We always enjoy fishing at the various lakes as well as Stella Lake. Lonny and Tammy always warmly welcome us. We appreciated the improvements they made this year! If you are looking for peace and quiet in the beauty of a natural setting, this spot is perfect! This is our third anniversary we have spent here.

Stella lake cabin

Lovely, peaceful setting, very relaxing. Close to attractions in Munising. Comfortable. Must read owners' description very literally. I.e., ""stove top" means range top, no oven; "TV" means tv and VCR, no cable or broadcast access. (We did enjoy some of the old VHS and DVDs provided). Better directions to house would have helped especially after dark. We'd rent this location again.

Love this cabin!

My family stayed at Stella Lake for a week and had the absolute best time! The cabin is remote, quiet and peaceful with breathtaking views of the lake. Our kids had the best time fishing off the dock and with the row boat. Being pet friendly is a must for us and our dogs had the best time as well. My favorite thing was being able to sit on the deck and see everything, including the hummingbirds. They visited daily! The cabin is a simple set up, nothing fancy - just as it should be. Everything you need is right there. The owner stopped by to say hello and make sure we had everything we needed, otherwise we saw no one else. We had just the very best experience and would love to return one day.

We wanted a "stay on a lake" in this area, somewhere more private, where cabins aren't stacked up on each other. This place was perfect! It is simple, comfortable and fully functional. We enjoyed campfires at night, the starry sky is incredible. We caught several fish, using the rowboat. The upstairs beds are clean and comfortable. Meals were easy to prepare using the outdoor griddle, stove-top and large toaster oven. The indoor wood-burning stove came in very handy when the night temps dropped to 36 degrees. We also really enjoyed the wildlife at the cabin. Aside from ducks, frogs, and chipmunks, we seen bald eagles, otters, sandhill cranes, several deer and a fox. The wildlife sounds from across the lake, late at night, are intense. The hummingbirds forced me to fill the feeder. They are huge compared to down-state, but you will hear them before you see them. Then they'll make you feel guilty if their feeder is dry. The cabin is centrally located to a lot of attractions. We did a day trip into Munising for a pictured rocks tour and to visit several waterfalls. Also, a ride south to visit Kitch-iti-kipi. The directions to the cabin, provided by the host, are detailed and accurate. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. Overall, a great stay!

Secluded stay

First off let me explain my rating on cleanliness. I completely and totally understand being secluded and there being rodents and bugs. What i felt was not clean is the musty smell which was strong. I carry air fresheners and fixed the situation quickly. A couple of air fresheners would easily defuse the smell. For those that have commented on the “brown water and stains on the tub and toilet- thats well water, that will happen. The cabin is very secluded but in a very prime location. Munising is only about 35 minutes away- which has a laundry mat and awesome shopping as well as done very breathtaking falls and sights! Pete’s Lake was close and had a beach and very clear water for swimming in. The accommodations were perfect for us and it was just what we needed to rejuvenate! The falls around the area are a must as is Buckhorn resort for dinner! The host was extremely polite in my conversations. Thank you for sharing your home! It definitely has beauty to it!

Secluded and rustic in the middle of the forest

Take a step back in time when everything was simple and easy. The cabin is clean, maintained and has everything you need to be comfortable. The lake is beautiful with plenty of fish to catch. My girlfriend caught a 24” walleye!!! If you are expecting a millennial 5 star experience and don’t want your Tesla, BMW or brand new Audi getting stuck, scratched and dirty this rental is definitely not for you….Lonnie and his wife are very nice and will make sure you have a wonderful stay!!!

Another Amazing Trip

My husband and I and our dog Leti stayed at the cabin for the second time this year. We enjoyed it very much both times. There are so many trails to ride ATVs on around the cabin, you'd never be able to go down all of them. Plenty of lakes around the cabin to fish at including the one right in your back yard at the cabin. The cabin is super secluded, we didn't see a person basically the entire time which was great. We had nightly campfires, Lonnie and his wife make sure there is plenty of wood. There was a brand new flat iron grill, new refrigerator, and was putting in a new window after we were leaving. The cabin is just right for a quiet, relaxing, perfect getaway. We got to meet the hosts Lonnie and Tammy this time, they're super friendly and welcoming. We definitely plan to come back and make it a yearly trip, hopefully twice a year!

Lake Stella Anniversary

We celebrated our 45th anniversary in this peaceful, quiet cottage right on the lake. Beautiful sunsets, evenings by the fire, morning hummingbird visits, lots of fishing in this lake and in those nearby gave us just what we needed. Lonnie and Tamara kept us stocked in dry firewood, and were so nice to answer questions and give us tips on nearby attractions.

Stella Lake near Munising

We had a wonderful time. The cabin was exactly as listed. The fishing was limited by weather but we caught a few. Located in the middle of the woods with no internet and limited cell coverage which is exactly what we were looking for. Within few hours of many wonderful tourist spots and an abundance of other lakes within a few miles. Lots of wood for campfires and no noise except Mother Nature

Struggling to even write this

I’m not someone who likes to write bad reviews, and I’m hoping this comes off as informative instead of scathing. I’m absolutely happy that so many other enjoy this cabin, and Lonnie is a super nice guy, but I want to be honest about the level of “rustic” to prevent anyone else from winding up in my situation. I’d like to preface this by saying that I have stayed in several remote rustic old UP cabins throughout the years. This was not my first rodeo with the UP, old cabins, gravel roads, or UP flies. I get it. I stayed at this property for one night. There is a difference between “rustic’” and run down. This property was the latter. Thankfully, I found another place the next morning. Upon arrival, the doors were wide open, which was a little disconcerting. I’m sure it was for ventilation as it was a hot day, but because the screen doors don’t fit the door frames properly, a lot of bugs had gotten in. I went to work with my bug spray can that I always bring, because, again, not my first UP rodeo. Meanwhile, as I’m spraying, I find mouse traps and bait stations in corners. Well, I brought dogs with me, so that won’t work, snapped all the traps and picked the bait stations up. I check out the lower level and then went upstairs to check out the sleeping loft. Apparently a majority of the flies that had come in the gaps around the screen door had settled up there. I didn’t have the time or patience to swat all the flies after driving all day, and I wasn’t going to sleep in that, so we slept downstairs on the pull out sofa. When I went in the bathroom, I notice the water in the toilet and sink was BROWN. Like BROWN. Then I peeked in the shower to find the walls and tub stained with brown from the water. I always bring drinking water to UP cabins because I’m used to it not being very tasty, but usually I can shower in it. There wasn’t a dish, appliance or surface in the kitchen I found clean enough to use. The refrigerator, which was cranked to the max, was barely going to chill anything, and that was probably because the entire inside of the door is broken and has insulation sticking out. It was a hot day when we got there, and there aren’t enough functional windows for adequate ventilation on a hot day. The fans helped. The portable air conditioner was great. Im truly gladly so many other enjoy it and wish Lonnie the best, just wanted to be clear about the condition of the property. I personally did not feel safe or comfortable at all.

Privacy and Isolation

The cottage is basic but included everything needed for a wonderful, relaxing, private vacation. We used the fire pit extensively and had a front row seat to the incredible nighttime stars. There is an indoor wood stove as well for those chilly nights. Pan fish were caught right from the dock and frogs, toads, and chipmunks abounded. My kids even thought they saw a bear through the trees during the drive down the Lake Stella Road and we definitely saw a bear during our hike on Bruno's Run trail. The cottage offered everything we were looking for including privacy, isolation, and silence. However, it is central to activities in the towns along the Great Lakes as we were never more than an an hour and a half's drive from Marquette, Manistique, Grand Marais, and only a 30-40 minute drive to Munising. We engaged in all the favorite activities we have experienced before as well as trying new activities that have become favorites as well. The cottage does not offer a stove so I always bring a crock pot so dinner is ready at the end of a long day of adventures. The sleeping arrangements are for 6 people in 3 double beds in a loft which worked for my immediate family, but there is also a pull out sofa bed downstairs. We will definitely be booking a trip again!

Fabulous Privacy!

We had a terrific time on Lake Stella! The sunsets were beautiful from the dock and the stars were amazing viewed from the fire pit area. We took the rowboat out and swam in the lake. Frogs, toads, squirrels, and chipmunks abounded. The sleeping loft was comfortable with the air conditioner and fans and the sitting and eating areas were ample. We especially loved driving the 2.5 mile dirt/sand road to get to the cabin gate. The seclusion was just what we were looking for. The Hiawatha National Forest surrounds the lake and area, but we were easily able to access the charms of Grand Marais, Munising, and Marquette and enjoy the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. We hiked to several waterfalls, but there was so much to do we will have to come back again to complete all the hikes and activities that were on our list!

A-MAZ-ING!!!

Just returned from our family vacation and already planning our trip next year! The photos and description of this place do it absolutely no justice. The cottage is cute, comfortable and clean. The fishing was great! I loved waking up in the morning with my coffee, sitting on the deck overlooking the lake - so peaceful and quiet - and spending nights by the fire pit. Pat and Myra were very welcoming and helpful. I feel very lucky to have found such a great place, and hope to be able to stay again next year.

Awesome Seclusive, Adventurous.

Okay, first of all, if you are expecting to stay in a luxurious or a very convenient place close to shopping places and restaurants etc. please stay away, not only from this cottage but from Upper Peninsula all together. UP is a secluded, nature's lap and there you don't expect to find in Four Seasons or Mariotts. This cottage is located few miles from the main area of Munising but it is a very awesome place. It has everything you need, cookware, linen, basic TV, DVD player with many movies, however I won't be expecting you to do watch TV. On the back, there is a beautiful lake, a fire pit, a row boat. What else do you want in adventurous seclusive location ? Take your basic groceries, alcohol and clothes, bug spray and camping stuff and you are all set. This place is good if you are into fishing (which we were not), however, wake up, make good breakfast (eggs) and then head off to Munising, hike and kayak and come back, enjoy the firepit and have couple of beers and fun with friends. This is exactly what we did when four of us visited this place (all of different ethnic backgrounds). I would give it a 4.25 star rating but I want to give it 5 because other reviewer screwed the ratings of this place. Also the owners are very nice people and their friends, who own a store about 5-6 miles away (Pat and Myra) are super super nice people. I just loved the warmth that I had when I was dealing with them. So make sure what you expect before you even travel Up North..... the nature's retreat.
