  • Sunset Cottage is a spacious 2 bedroom home located in Eben Junction, 20 minutes from Munising MI.

The cottage sits on 27 acres, plenty of space for children to play or walk your dogs. *Dogs MUST be on a leash or tied up at all times! We will ask you to leave if this rule is not followed. Eben Ice Caves are one of Michigan’s prime winter attractions.

Enjoy a back yard barbeque, relaxing on the deck watching beautiful sunsets over 27 acres, sitting in the sauna, or around the fire roasting marshmallows.

Quiet country setting

Nice little house out in the country. Close enough to fun places, but with lots of room and privacy for our family. House is well stocked with the basics. The sauna was a nice perk! Checkout process was easy.

Great Space Close to MTB Trails

This house was in a great area with plenty for us to do. We ended up going to MTB trails south of Marquette and it was awesome fun. The little grocery just a few minutes away was warm and welcoming and well stocked. I bought my morning cup of coffee there and then we would head out to bike. The ice cream shop nearby was a treat at the end of the day. I would recommend this house to anyone who wants easy access to the great outdoors and a cozy home to relax in at the end of the day.

Good Place, Could Be Perfect

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is beautiful and looks just like the photos, with a great, well-stocked kitchen that was easy to use. However, there were a few issues during our stay that made things less comfortable. The listing mentioned two queen beds, but one was actually a double. The water from the well came out brown and gritty for the second half of our stay, and we did see a mouse inside the house. With some attention and maintenance, this could be a really lovely place to stay.

Great Property for family vacation

The cottage was clean and well supplied. Communication with the rental company was great, very responsive and helpful. This was a great location for so many activities we had planned in the U.P. Close to Munising and within an hour drive of Kitch-iti-kipi, among others. We loved being able to bring our pup who enjoyed the large acreage along with our children, ages 6 & 8.

We loved the outdoor space and fire pit, although we had to buy firewood even though the photos implied it was provided. The privacy was great and road noise was not bad. The house is ok and met our needs. I’d suggest you bring your own coffee mug as those in the house are way too large and cumbersome.

Sunset Cottage

Remote home on 27 acres was clean, great supply of soft towels and extremely comfortable bed. Mouse made a home in an oven mitt and luckily I wasn’t bit but washed my hands numerous times. Dumped waste in trash. Didn’t realize home didn’t have A/C and it was pretty hot. Advertised a near trails but needed a place to park the trailer.

To far from trail

The house is wonderful. The only problem we had is VRBO places the house next to the Snack Shack but it isn't. It is a little over a mile south of it. So for snowmobiling it's not ideal. We ruined one of the ski's on the pavement. Other than that the house is wonderful.

Very pretty cottage

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hello, the stay was very nice. Love the fire pit outback and the stay was nice. The Wi-Fi was nice bc reception in that area sucks. LolYou should think about putting air conditioning in, placing curtains in the kitchen bc the sun blasts you while you’re eating and cooking. There needs to be more instructions on how to use the stove and oven. We didn’t know how to use oven and was scared to turn it on. Other than that it was nice!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a very private secluded property. We were visiting Pictured Rocks in Munising MI and were discouraged by all the people so we decided to get away and found this charming single level home in the country - We loved it - Had all the amenities of home including a washer and drier. Just 15 minutes from the tour boat for Pictured Rocks. We would highly recommend this property.
