Clean and Comfortable East of Marquette

A pleasant stay in a cabin with room and character. Five adults were comfortable and another five could have joined us, no problem. Cabin was clean with interesting decor; about 10 miles east of Marquette in peaceful surroundings. Beautiful beach across the hwy. Aacross the hwy.

Location, Location, Location !

Superior location! Centrally located between Marquette and Munising making it easy to enjoy both cities. Don’t miss Lakenenland right down the road - so unique and fun! Gorgeous sand beach right across the street , a perfect spot for beautiful sunsets. Although we didn’t see the Northern Lights as we had hoped, the star filled skies were exceptional. Lovely swing in the yard to sit and star gaze. The river behind the house was fun to canoe and kayak Bedrooms are very large and beds were comfortable.Plenty of space inside and out to relax and enjoy . The house was clean, but there is an overabundance of eclectic decorations for our taste that gave us a cluttered feeling, but without a doubt there are many special memories and love in this house.

Amazing Location and slice of Heaven on Earth!!!

As others have stated this cabin has very eclectic decor. Lots of knick knacks, which actually brought us back to our childhoods and time with our Grandparents!!! The cabin was clean and comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. We kayaked the river in the back and met up with Lake Superior to kayak as well. What a fabulous experience!!! We did encounter a gardener snake in one of the kayaks, which made for a funny story to tell others. LOL!!! This cabin is in such a great location to enjoy Lake Superior, walking the beautiful beach and catching some beautiful sunsets. We also took day trips to Marquette, where we biked the beautiful bike trail from the visitors center to Presque Isle, hiked Sugarloaf mountain and Munising to hike and view many beautiful water falls. There is so much to do in the area, we will need to return as we ran out of time. Thank you Annie and Paul for sharing your beautiful slice of Heaven on Earth!!! Sincerely, Vickie and Randy

Perfect!

Sandy calm beach right across the road. Good location between Munising and Marquette. Well stocked kitchen with plenty of dishes and all you would need to cook away from home. Handsoap, dish soap, paper towel, toilet paper and trash bags were a nice surprise, we have been to a few places without these provided. Cottage is comfortable and decorated with many interesting pieces. We enjoyed being close to the beach and walked over multiple times per day. We would definitely stay again!

Wonderful place to stay!!

This rental is awesome!! So much room to spread out, and the furniture is so comfortable. The bedrooms all have a king extra-comfy bed AND enough dressers that you can unpack and not have to live out of our suitcases. This place is also extremely clean!! Since we rented in the fall, the colors were beautiful! Location... just walk down the driveway and you are at Lake Superior! Also... for those casino lovers... just 5 miles away from the casino!! Don't hesitate to rent, and we will be back!!

Wonderful stay

The property is a great place to spend time with the family. The house is extremely clean and it has everything one would need to be able to relax. The check in process was a breeze and the property is located in a great spot between Au Train and Harvey. We were able to drive to Munising and Marquette in no time at all. The beach on Lake Superior is directly across the road, and is a short stroll from the front porch. In our party, we had a 70 year old and 80 year old adult and they were able to access the beach and enjoy Lake Superior with out a problem. Great communication from the owner and I would certainly recommend this property.

Wonderful vacation getaway

This is a lovely property with incredibly easy access to a beautiful and quiet Lake Superior beach. The home is clean, comfortable and well stocked with anything you might need. We had to cut our stay short so we couldn't take advantage of the river access behind the house, but it looked like a lovely place for a paddle. Annie and Paul made the process easy and provided everything we needed for a great vacation. Highly recommend!
