Christmas in Delta County

We have family between Escanaba and Gladstone and this location, size of the home and the comfortable amenities were perfect for our family Christmas. We took walks at the Days River path trail, along the water in Gladstone, looked up at the starry night in Rapid River and enjoyed the cozy comfort of the lodge.

Property as described.

Happy with the accommodations, and none of my friends had complaints either. Lots of space to spread out if desired.Host was responsive and the check-in and check-out requirements were simple. None of the excessive check-out cleaning nonsense that rental properties have become infamous for.

Beautiful property

We can’t compliment enough, this beautiful property. Lots of space, close to things, yet away from busy areas. My family loved the house. We have family that live in the area and they also came by to enjoy the property and we had room outside and in the house. The property managers were quick to answer any questions we had and very friendly. We will be booking again in the future!!

Tall tails on the trails !

We were a group of 8 enjoying our 5th year of orving in northern Michigan . Your log cabin was almost perfect for our accommodations . The beds , sheets , blankets even throw blankets on the couch made it cozy .My husband hated that he had to wait sooo long for the coffee to finish brewing .(half hour ) Also we are seniors who would have loved “grab bars” in the 2showers on first floor . Our safety in showers is a very big concern for seniors or really for anybody .Also the main bedroom bathroom no light to light up shower area . Jacuzzi tub not working very disappointing .That was one of the reasons to rent it .we felt cheated .We did contact owner her answer was not satisfactory. We would rent it again only if jacuzzi tub works.

The house was definitely perfect for 8 adults. There was plenty of room for comfortable seating, playing games, and places to park our side-by-sides for trail riding. I thought it was nestled into the woods but is actually near the road so the road noise in the evening and in the early morning hours was quite loud; it’s not something that would prevent a stay here though. There was plenty of parking for our trucks and trailers.

The house was spacious and the living and dining areas accommodated our large group well. The kitchen was well equipped and it was great to have some toys and games for the kids to play with. The outdoor areas were well maintained, but unfortunately the highway noise takes away from the serenity. It's a good location to explore central UP. I would suggest bringing extra kitchen towels and paper products as no extras were supplied. Also note that the upstairs bathroom does not have a stand up shower, so you have to use other's en suites for that. Upstairs bedrooms have skylights, so it's very bright in the mornings.

Warm and cozy place to relax

We enjoyed the wood stove. It was everything we were hoping for and then some. There were fresh flowers on the counter when we arrived. The kitchen is well stocked. Lots of towels and bedding! Beds were comfortable. The lighting is a bit dark for board games in the evening. Loved the beautiful game table upstairs! Bathrooms lighting was dim is our only con. It was clean! Definitely recommend staying here!

Spacious Cabin with Cozy Wood Burning Stove

We had eight people (7 adults and 1 teenager). We had ample space to sleep and hang out. There were three full baths and a half bath. The only hangup was that one of the full baths had a tub rather than shower, but they did have a shower hose with the tub. So, you could take a shower, you just had to hold the nozzle rather than it being mounted on the wall. The table had seating for eight, but could've easily accommodated two more chairs, if needed. The kitchen had the supplies we needed with plenty of dishes, but if you need something specific for your recipe, I'd suggest bringing your own. Firewood was provided, as were lighters. Note that the house is located just off the highway, so there is traffic noise and you do hear a train whistle a few times a day. Be sure to bring whatever noise masking device you might need for sleep. Oh, and the floor of the upstairs is really creaky, so I'd suggest putting your late sleepers up there and your early risers downstairs. Par for the course with a log home. Overall, it's a spacious space with plenty of room for everyone, and we didn't even use the downstairs space other than the washer/dryer.

Great home horrible location

The house was outstanding, plenty of room comfortable beds, great parking for trucks and boat trailer, could not be happier with the home. Only negative is it’s at corner of HWY 2 and the truck and car traffic was noisy if your a light sleeper. I used ear plugs had no problem but you could hear traffic noise. Owners were very responsive

Awesome stay in Rapid River

This log home was absolutely beautiful - clean, spacious and full of amazing history and stories! We rented this for a family vacation of 11 people ranging from 6months - 60+. The amenities were wonderfully thought out - games for little children to adults, rec room area, laundry room, big table for family meals, kitchen well stocked with all necessities, grill/griddle top and a beautiful outdoor space! We enjoyed talking to and meeting the family and hearing the stories they had to share - it really made our trip! The only negative I have for this is that it is located right off Highway 2 - we are definitely the family that loves to be off the beaten path a bit more but we still LOVED this home and the owners. They are quick to respond and very accommodating! We can't thank them enough for sharing this beautiful space.
