We had such a wonderful time at this cabins. The cabin was clean and had everything that we needed. The owners were kind and super helpful. The cabin was in a secluded area so we could walk around and enjoy the fall colors with no worries of neighbors. I would recommend bringing your own water to drink if you are not comfortable drinking from a well.

Wonderful winter weekend

Our second time visiting this cabin left us just as impressed as the first. There was plenty of room for our families of 4 and 5, with our pooch. Kids and adults alike greatly enjoyed playing outside in the woods.

This was a beautiful, secluded place for a family getaway. The cabin was well-appointed with everything we'd expect and then some. We particularly enjoyed sharing the property with all of the deer! The park and beach in nearby Gladstone was a big hit with the children. and beachand beach at

Great place in the woods!

What a great place to get away from it all and just relax. Great place with plenty of room and wildlife outside. Only recommendation to other bookings, follow the directions to the place from the host, do not use GPS to get to the cabin. Thank you again for a great stay!

We loved staying in the cabin! It was rustic and beautifully furnished and decorated. The quiet and scenic property was a pleasure to wake up to. It was about 15 minutes to Escanaba or Gladstone. There were 3 TVs, and had good Wi-Fi. We saw turkeys, deer, 4 different squirrels, and a bear from a distance. I highly recommend this cabin!

Amazing and Secluded

It was just what we were looking for! We came to see the sights and fall colors and the best colors were actually at the cabin. We enjoyed time there and were able to keep all three kids as well as the adults entertained on the day we had starting late due to rain. The cabin was the cleanest place that we have rented. Dave and Mary were very responsive and on top of everything!

Up North Cabin with all Amenities!

Booked for a friends and family weekend! 4 adults and 5 kiddos under 5 yrs old. The cabin is spacious for large groups with great hiking in the area. We loved the bonfire set up and how relaxing the living room was. Bummed that mother nature didn't have snow in February but I'd imagine that this place would be GREAT for snow adventures and hunting!

Excellent Property, Excellent Hosts: 11/10

Excellent property with plenty of room inside and outside. We had a full itinerary planned of golfing, sightseeing, casino trips, and dinners. We opted to stay in afternoons for yard games, bonfires and take advantage of the spacious, well-maintained lawn. Deer and several wild turkeys visited us during the weekend. This is my 2nd visit as a guest at the property, we are already planning another in fall. This place checks all the boxes for space, comfort, amenities, & it’s SO CLEAN. GREAT HOSTS.

Amazing property

Overall fantastic lodgings. Clean, roomy, secluded. Gorgeous location. Only room for improvement would be correct address on listing. We got in to town late and finding it in the dark wasn't easy since we went to the wrong address(the one listed on VRBO). I was sent the correct address by the property owner but didn't realize at first that they differed. Would definitely recommend this property to others staying in the area.

Hunting getaway

Dave and Mary are the best people to work with to make your vacation special!!!! The cabin is beyond beautiful and is set up extremely well for what ever you want to do. The location is perfect to enjoy the wilderness and only being 15 min. From town is a huge bonus. There is a ton of wildlife to watch which is why we came back again and will return next year! Dave and Mary are the perfect owners to take care of your ultimate vacation and build family memories! Thank you Dave and Mary, we will see you again soon!

Great family Yooper getaway

We had 10 adults and one grand baby and the house handled us all with ease. A little challenging to find initially but the seclusion is delightful. The house is well furnished inside and outside. Only complaint is lack of airflow in main floor dining family room as huge windows face west and get a lot of afternoon sun and we made all our meals using the oven which only added to the heat. Always cooled off overnight. Would definitely stay here again!

Family Birthday Celebration

Everything about this cabin, location, prompt response by Mary to all my questions before arrival, firewood, wildlife (deer, family of turkeys, birds, etc.), appliances, washer & dryer all highly appreciated and used! Location is close to my brother’s camp making it convenient to go back and forth. And, two evenings we had family visit for dinner and outdoor fire (they even brought firewood one evening that we used and one evening used firewood provided at cabin. There were 6 of us staying at cabin, plenty of room for all. Best compliment was when our sons left with their gals, they said “this place was awesome Mom” !!!
