August stay on the lake
This is a quiet serene place to unplug and relax. The cabin and property is lovingly cared for and private. This is an impressive off-grid experience that will leave you wanting for nothing. Fresh linen and towels, hot showers, electric light and appliances and propane stove/oven and refrigerator all tucked away on a secluded lake.

Peace and relaxation
If you are looking to disconnect for a while from this busy world we live in, this is the place to go. Fishing, wildlife, and quiet. This place was immaculate upon our arrival and the owners showed us around and assured us that if there was anything we needed, they were just a call away. We didn't need anything. Thanks Tom and Becky. This was our best stay in the 10+ years we have been using VRBO. Keep it up. This is something special you have going here. God bless.

Peace and Quiet
Cabin was wonderful. We had a great time unplugging away from it all. Just what we were looking for. Cabin was perfect, very clean, well stocked, quiet with beautiful views. Saw lots of wildlife, hiked, fished, read, and watch the sun come up over the lake every morning. Tom was a great host. Looking forward to going back. Kirk & Cathy

Great experience. Nice quiet relaxing time away from all but close enough to town to grab a bite or pick up something we forgot. Was very well supplied with all the things we need. Great host, could not have ask for a better place to relax and have some fun.

Quiet Fishing Getaway
Really great stay on Upper Holmes Lake! The cottage was perfect and the fishing was fantastic. The largemouth bass were the biggest we’ve ever caught! If you’re looking for a quiet off grid experience with views you’ll remember for a long time, this is the place for you!

Great vacation
Amazing cabin for your family vacation, hunting, fishing, swimming and/or sightseeing.
The cabin is sparkling clean and fully equipped with linens,
towels, kitchen cookware, paper towels etc; all the amenities you have at your own home. Everything is new. Did I mention private lake with paddle and fishing boats? Pictures don’t do justice to the beauty of this place. Simply beautiful and peaceful.

Relaxing getaway
Wonderful remote cabin on the lake, very relaxing and quiet. Loved seeing the swans and deer, and the fishing was great. It is camping with the luxuries of home, the solar works great. Tom and Becky are great hosts, a great getaway for my 50th birthday. Jeff and Darla

Nature's Healing
David and Nancy Young have a haven of heaven. The place is immaculate and well provisioned and the owners are gracious and most helpful. We so enjoyed it (my wife Corinne, me, brother Tom and his wife Kathy). Extremely convenient to Crystal Falls and the Channing area where we grew up. We took a field trip to Houghton early one morning for a surprise breakfast of pannukakku (Finnish baked custard pancakes with warm raspberry sauce) at the Suomi Restaurant in honor of Kathy's Finnish heritage. Beautiful drive. This is the area where Travis and Angel hung out and did some of their detective work in the crime fiction novels Blood Ice and Lizard Eyes by Chick LaPointe (available on Amazon). This was a wonderful respite on a gorgeous lake. We laughed, enjoyed nature, got reacquainted with our native cuisine and saw much wildlife including deer, loons, turkeys, a hippopotamus (not really) and a grumpy old porcupine waddling on the road. We would return in a heartbeat to this off-the-grid rest from the news and the tired old world. Our batteries are charged and our minds are basking in serenity.
Thank you, Nancy and David for creating this peaceful oasis.
