Paradise in the Michigan UP

Good morning Paradise! The Shack has everything a person neess who needs to get away for some R&R. Energizing sunrises, relaxing adirondack chairs, lulling lake waves, cozy campfires, and calming sunsets. This was perfect for a solo female traveler and her dog, a insanely water-loving, crazy ball-chasing yellow lab.

It's not primitive, its not the Ritz. It's just right for what you need to get away from it all. It allows you to define your own adventure. Great communication. The little town has the basics of what you need to make your stay memorable. I would stay here again.

Nice little escape

While the weather didn't behave the whole week ( it was rainy and misty), the cabin was warm and cozy. The rain found a way to cause a leak but the property manager was quick to respond and help. It was a perfect size for 3 adults and 1 child. Had there been more adults, it would have felt cramped. The view was exactly as described and the outdoor sitting area was perfect, even with the foggy lake. We would definitely visit again - hopefully the weather will cooperate better next time.

The Shack

Overall happy with our stay. We were able to prepare our meals and enjoy Paradise with our pets. Would encourage people to clean up after themselves in the yard area to avoid injuries to others. There were numerous bottle caps and sharp objects in the yard. We used the fire pit once, just wasn’t well maintained and the chairs were in rough shape. Interior was fine just a lot of dirty toss pillows and excess clutter that made the place feel smaller. The Shack sits very close to the Bay with rocks and a drop to the water so must be careful when walking out the back door and the front is right off a busy highway.

The Shack

Rustic in decor. The Cabin has a bright living room/bedroom area with a day bed and futon. There is no place to put your belongings. You have to be an early riser as the sun comes in and the curtains don't cover the window. There is no coverage on the full glass door either :(. The small bedroom has a comfortable bed. Again, with no place to put your clothing. The dining room/futon bed has a nice table and chairs. Crampted quarters. No more than 4 people at best. We had trouble finding the light switch for the dining room. It's a remote on a post next to the stove! I loved the refrigerator and the gas stove. My only issue was the plates and glasses were in the base cabinet facing the dining room. I'm old and they were difficult to get to. But the kitchen was well stocked. Now the bathroom. Large area with stackable washer/dryer. The shower - not so good. Small and it was difficult to regulate water temperature and shave my legs! My best part of the cabin was the firepit. With the Lake right there and an evening fire, WOW, the best! And Becky provides the wood. Parking is an issue if you're taking a trailer. Overall, wifi works, smart tv works, there are no mice, and no musty smell. The Cabin is pet friendly and at a great location for checking out the sites. I hope this helps.

A Tad Too Rustic?

The online pics were slightly misrepresentative of the actual space and cleanliness of the property. Lots of mouse droppings and dead mouse smell. Even if you could sleep 8 (tightly), where would they all stand/sit? On the upside, great location, lots of firewood, working appliances and a nice area outside by the water.

Paradise....in many ways!!

A very cute little cabin literally right on the shore of Whitefish Bay, very quaint with everything we needed for a week long stay. We used this as our home base and saw many sights in the area and enjoyed some fall colors. Enjoyed the firepit in the evenings sipping a favorite beverage and toasting marshmallows overlooking the water with freighters in the far distance. Oh, did I mention the stars!!!!!!! Not many places to eat open in the area, not sure if it is seasonal or lack of finding workers or both. A very small with limited stock grocery store, but we made do just fine. Found everything we needed in the kitchen to do some cooking with the groceries we brought. The log cabin is authentic and on the older side with a fairly recent facelift. That being said it does have musty smell but we just cracked a couple windows and you adjust to it. Yes, it did come with a pet mouse, but he never bothered us and only saw him scurry across the bathroom floor twice, that was the only evidence of him we saw. The cabin would only sleep 6 and that is if y'all were very friendly, but there was just 2 of us so it was just fine. The main bed is a foam mattress which was not comfortable for my older back but made due with the other bed available. The cabin is quite crowded and full of many items so not a lot of room to store your stuff, and no place to hang clothing but overall a nice place for some downtime and enjoying the beauty of the area.

You Can't Get Any Closer To Whitefish Bay!

This is our second time staying here. "The Shack" is a cute, rustic log cabin with age & character. It may not be for everyone though. Considering its' age, you may have to deal with an occasional mouse, spider or cabin funk that comes with age, but for us & adventurous types, it's the perfect escape just feet from the water decorated so cutely and close to Whitefish Point, Tahquamenon Falls & everything outdoors. We would stay all the time if we could!

We Learned a Lot

This was our first VRBO rental. The location was amazing, and outdoor area was mostly very nice. We loved playing corn hole, being right on the lake, and the sunrises were spectacular. The description of “modern cabin” is accurate in that there is electricity, running water, a ceiling fan, and appliances. There is no A/C or heat, so the temp outside is pretty much the temp inside, and on a warm day, the inside is even hotter. Also, the doors do not close all the way, and are not weather-stripped, so there are mice (which we saw running around) and other pests in the cabin. When we arrived the place was filthy; we expected some “lake dampness and smell”, but it smelled like no one had been in it for months, there was sand all over the floor and there were cobwebs in every room, complete with a layer of grime on the stove. We were shocked to look in the guest book and find it has been occupied most of this summer. It clearly was not cleaned well after previous guests, and the linens or mattresses on the bunk beds smell very musty. The bathroom and kitchen counter and table had been wiped down at least. We washed every dish utensil, pot, and pan before and after using, as those weren’t terribly clean either. Next time I will surely ask more questions before paying this kind of money for a rental.
