We loved the cabin - haven’t stayed at remote place like this cabin before and was very impressed with all the comforts available. We enjoyed the privacy and the scenery.

Vacation 7/2023

Really enjoyed our time at the cabin. Very peaceful and had a great time fishing. Close to all our excursions and still felt secluded. Our 2 yo son loved picking the wild blueberries and fishing from the dock.

Unplug and unwind

We had a great couple days of fishing and relaxing. The kids enjoyed kayaking and running around. We also had a great dinner at the Camel Riders restaurant a few miles to the south.

Relaxing Getaway!

Great place for a family vacation away from all the craziness of life! We loved the secluded location, just far enough away, but still close to general stores for any necessities. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The kids never got bored. Fishing and sight seeing were great! A bald eagle flew right by my son! Very peaceful place to reconnect with family. The property owner was in touch to check if we needed anything and was very helpful! We are already planning our next trip back 😊

Wonderful Cabin Get Away

We loved the cabin and the setting on the lake. It was a great time to unplug and have family time. The owners are very responsive to messages and willing to help. We are very glad we decided to stay here, despite an initial hesitation about not having electricity. The gas lights and stove/refrigerator were great. The boats were great that come with the cabin to enjoy time on the lake!

Clean quiet secluded location near Munising

Great communication with owners. Very clean comfy house. The upstairs gets a little steamy at night in the summer months but overall a great experience. Don’t let the composting toilet worry you you will miss out on a great experience. We loved the screened in patio and the use of kayaks and a row boat on the lake. Kitchen is well equipped, we cooked every night . Swimming beach right down the road. We would rent again if in the area.

Baldy Lake Cabin

From start to finish we had an incredible vaca on Baldy Lake! The owners were readily available from the time of sign up till refund check was issued. We fished, we hiked, we found Yooperlites, went sightseeing and just had a relaxing time. The cabin has pretty much everything you need. Toilet and shower were easy to use. Thank you for sharing your beloved space with us. We will be back!

Wonderful place

Really a terrific place. Just a fantastic location, quite secluded. Cabin was immaculate with all the amenities, especially for something described as rustic. Great area for bonfires, nice dock and fishing boat. Things I was concerned about before the trip were non-issues. The composting toilet was actually great, shower was super easy to use (never knew I could shower thoroughly with only 3 gallons of water!). The hand pump in the kitchen for water was a little tedious but worked flawlessly. We had plenty of "juice" in the battery powered Wifi for hopping on the internet for texts/emails. There were a few minor things that I would point out as suggestions, while still rating this property 5*. Maybe one more outdoor trash can available. Recommend purchasing either more firewood from the owner, or buying your own somewhere nearby. The $63 in wood we bought that we thought would last the week only lasted 2 nights. And if fishing is your main thing, not the best lake for it. You'll catch plenty of rock bass and crappie, but zero pike, perch or "eating fish" to be found. Still fun to catch them but we bought fresh Lake Superior fish in Munising! Again, all in all a really great place and we highly recommend it.

Remote get away

Remote is the key word but this property delivered. If I didn't want to leave I could find so many things to do but it was also I nice get away home to come back to after long adventure days. If you want a very private get away to have the off the grid feeling this is the place. Would stay again.

Picture Perfect!

This is a must stay! We booked the cabin for our Honeymoon and could not be happier with our decision! The cabin and entire experience exceeded our expectations! The cabin in nestled in the woods on a quiet semi private lake. It was my first time using a composting toilet, we have been doing a lot of research on "off grid" living and we were intrigued to try the toilet out. I was surprised that it has absolutely no odor, and I was expecting a bucket and saw dust, however the composting toilet is really nice, we even looked up the model and made note for the future, for when we get a cabin someday! So if the toilet is something that may discourage your stay! I would urge you to give it a try! Lisa and Tom were great hosts and were available to answer any questions we had! I definitely hope to return again! My husband and I both fell in love with the cabin!

Incredible location

It was our first time in the UP and this location was just amazing. It took our breath away, pretty secluded, very peaceful, we also rented a boat which added an additional entertainment. I was pregnant at the time and underestimated the bathroom situation but other than that it was a great trip. Our 5 year old also caught a lot of fish and it was very exciting for her.

Sanctuary bordering Hiawatha Forest

We wanted to get away from it all and this property offered quiet, privacy and what some might call, "glamping." A comfortable bed, working kitchen with all that you need to prepare meals, shower and toilet (yes, manual in nature, but worked perfectly). Instead of watching TV, we watched our campfire every night. We visited Sable Falls, Hurricane and Miner's Beach and hiked Bruno's Run and another trail in Hiawatha Forest. Hiawatha is a pristine forest, Lake Superior is beautiful and water was swimmable for us. We have stayed in the UP several times, but this area was a new one to explore. There are many areas to go kayakying and we talked about coming back with our kayaks another time. Our stay was perfect as can be. Unfortunately, we had a small misunderstanding about the firewood with the owner. I want to say that we read the owners paperwork several times before we visited and after. We are landlords ourselves and are very respectful of someone's property. We ordered wood and were told it would be there for us. We, being city-dwellers, have no clue what a "cord of wood" is. We mistakenly thought all the wood was ours and we used a bit more wood than we were allotted (we were told). The owner wanted to bill us another $50 for using a small amount of the 2nd slot of wood. We felt that was not fair and raised the issue to the owner. The response was not gracious or understanding. Basically, we were blamed for not asking the question and told we disappointed the owner. That was disappointing for us, and we are sorry that the owner can't see it from our POV. The language in the contract is not really clear, whether the owner will admit it or not. That said, this was a minor issue and they did agree to "eat" the few pieces of wood we used over our amount. Sadly, If not for this issue, the review would have been 5 stars.

Beautiful Vacation

Great view, beautiful cottage. Beds were super comfy but upstairs loft was so hot for sleep! We rented a motor for the boat from the owners but it didn't work and we did not get a refund. The self-composting toilet was really nice, no smell and wonderful that it uses no water!

Beautiful, rustic lakeside cabin to get away and enjoy the UP

We highly recommend this cabin for anyone hoping to get away, disconnect a bit, and enjoy family and nature time in a beautiful, rustic way. I wasn’t sure how we would do without screens and the usual comforts but it didn’t take long for my three children, husband and me to adapt to this more simple and peaceful pace. We enjoyed relaxing lakeside, playing games and reading on the screened porch, beautiful sunsets, and canoes and kayaks on the lake. It was nice to have a lot of time to talk, make meals together (kitchen has everything you need), see some wildlife, and being close to Munising lead to lots of adventurous day trips including swimming at beautiful beaches, hiking by waterfalls, biking on Grand Island, Pictured Rocks Boat cruise, and we enjoyed a great coffee shop in town for when we needed to connect up. We look forward to coming back!
