Excellent location!

We enjoyed a lovely little getaway here in October for a fall color tour. It was a great location for travel to Mackinaw, Tahquamenon Falls, Whitefish Point, Pictured Rocks and so much more. We brought our dog, Buddy, with us too! He felt right at home and enjoyed laying on his dog bed watching the river.

Cozy Cottage on River

We were skiing at Nubs Nob for the holiday weekend. The cottage was 15 minutes away so it worked out well. The communication with the property owners was great. We definitely would consider a return visit for sure!

Lovely Anniversary Trip

We had a great time here! Cute and comfortable cabin! The river was calm and sitting on the back deck was wonderful. The boat ride to the connecting lakes was a little longer than expected, but still a lovely location and took nothing away from the cabin and the experience here.
