We had good communication with Lisa. She sends several things outside of VRBO for the rental from a rental agency and it does not show up through VRBO. Check your SPAM and keep your emails for coorespondence.It felt excessive when both parties are protected through VRBO with a fee.The place was exactly as described. It had all the things we needed for our group of 8 adults over 60. The location is very private with a wooded lot and perfectly located to all things Munising.Their mudroom area off the garage was fantastic! A great place for gear and coolers away from the main living area. Perfect for winter activities for sure.We would recommend this place to a larger group, but warn people of high cleaning fees, extra charges over 8 people and a pretty late check in and early checkout for a rental.

My family stayed in a few rental properties on our first trip to the UP and this one "won" the vacation. Great kitchen/amenities, and everything we needed.Very dark @ night, very quiet, very private, very responsive hosts. Would book again in heartbeat.Only negative was Canadian wildfire smoke moved in the same day we did, otherwise the star-gazing here would be phenomenal.

Family adventures

This house was very nice and had everything we needed for our family of 10. It had a nice basement that was used for family fun. The upstairs living room was also big enough for a movie night for all of us. It was set up in a secluded section of woods, centrally located to several towns along the coast of Lake Superior. Our family was able to explore a lot of what the U.P. has to offer and still not be too far from the house. We did have a water issue after a big storm. Lisa was easy to connect with and had the issue resolved the next day. It did not dampen or trip at all. Overall, it was a very nice house in a convenient location. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Nice place but be prepared…

The place was very nice. However. The owners were not fun to communicate with. My daughter was getting married and I asked if other people could visit that were also staying in the area. My request was for a few hours at a time. They absolutely would not let one person come to the rental unless they Paige 149 more per person that day. Seems ridiculous when you’re talking about a few hours. The place I stayed at let all of my family visit when they wanted. As long as nobody slept there. The owner messaged me on the VRBO ap the day after we got there to check on things. Then when I didn’t answer that (was extremely busy with wedding itinerary’s). Then she texted me asking me on Monday asking how it was going? She was asking about my daughter’s wedding and what time it was and such. I’ve stayed at probably 2 dozen or more VRBO,s and not one of them messaged me during my stay. To me… I’ve rented your home and during that time our privacy should be honored. Then she texted the day of ck out and told me that the cleaning team would be there at 10am. This was the day after my daughter’s wedding. Obviously people staying there was going to celebrate! Well needless to say everything was cleaned out and everyone packed up and ready to leave by 10 am.However… the cleaning people literally showed up at 9:50 am! To me that was intimidating that they had cleaning people there before we even checked out?The owner made this stay very uncomfortable. For this reason I don’t recommend!

Perfect family getaway

This home was all we could have hoped for! This was one of the cleanest and well equiped homes we have ever stayed in. It very easily fit our 11 family members with a great communal area in the kitchen/living room and the amazing backyard/fire pit. It was the perfect launch point to all the Pictured Rocks destinations and an easy drive into Munising. The hosts are amazing, providing asistance when needed and great communication throughout our stay. We definitely would love to return and continue exploring the area. The you adults in our group's only requst was some yard games to truly utilize the amazing space. Definitely not a deal breaker though.

The place was just as described, it was remote, close to trails, plenty of room for the 17 of us. It was also close to food in three different directions to give us choices. We had never put our whole group under one roof like this, but the house worked out great! The Blackstone grill was perfect for all of us, would definitely look at it again in the future. Thanks.

Amazing place! Will stay again!

WOW!! First of all the house was beautiful! It was extremely clean, the decorations were gorgeous and I cannot believe how well stocked the house was (from spices to dishes and bedding). Even the appliances were top of the line! I have stayed at many VRBO’s and this is by far the nicest and most well stocked I have stayed at. We had a group of 11 friends and we could have easily fit more. There was ample space for truck and trailer parking which is a huge plus. This was a fall color tour trip with our sxs’s and it was a bonus to be able to leave right from the house with not trailering to a trail head. Our group is already planning our next stay at this rental property hopefully this winter for a snowmobiling trip. And for those snowmobiling the entry way is HUGE perfect for all the gear! Our entire group agrees we would recommend to all our family and friends!

Spacious place to stay near Pictured Rocks

This home offers a lot of privacy and a ton of space to park many cars and trailers. We stayed during the summer, but I can imagine it would be a great place to rent in the winter for snowmobilers. The entryway is large and open with plenty of hooks to store your stuff. The basement and main level has plenty of room to gather. We had 9 people and we all had plenty of space to sleep. Bathrooms were well stocked and clean. The kitchen had lots of counter space and new appliances. There are numerous tvs and all worked well. There are two air conditioners that cooled the house well but we had some hot days so we did need to keep the bedroom doors open at night to stay cool. The deck off the back has a large heater that would be nice on a cool night. There is a Blackstone griddle to cook on. There is a bonfire area with plenty of chairs. Just a few miles down the road is The Bear Trap Inn which had good food (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). It is a short drive to Munising which offered plenty of restaurants and shops. Also, about 20 minutes away is the town of Christmas. Foggy's Steakhouse had great steaks and fish (we went 3 times). There is also a Kewadin casino there. We rented a pontoon boat one day and saw the Pictures Rocks shoreline which included amazing beaches and waterfalls. But oh boy the flies were crazy on the water - bring repellent if you have some that works. If you are a golfer, drive to Marquette and play Greywalls (AMAZING!). Overall great place to stay!
