Nice place to stay
Had everything we needed. Close to where we were hiking and about 15 mins from a small town. Its nice that there is a general store right next to it. People sell firewood all along that road. Surprised how long the hot water lasted. We had to shower 4 people in a row

Good for the price
Was disappointed there was no picnic table outside as advertised in photos. Beds were very uncomfortable. Shower didn’t drain well. Suited our needs for the price.

Great Get-Away
My wife and I stayed here for a few nights on our honeymoon. We wanted a place near Pictured Rocks as we planned to go kayaking. The cabin was in between the two ends of the park and gave convenient access to everything in between.

Awesome price
We checked prices on many locations and this one was larger than a hotel room, big shower and bathroom, nice kitchen area for like half the price of places just 15 min away in Munising. Highly recommend.

Great spot in the UP to stay
This is a simple little cabin in the UP with a good location to Pictured Rocks area. We found it basic and reasonably priced for a couple of nights for us to enjoy the area. We appreciated the short stay opportunity and great communication with the owner/renter.

Great retreat off the beaten path
What a perfect retreat down the road from Miners Falls, right next door to a charming general store, and sounds of chickens/roosters outside the open window. We loved it. WiFi, TV, table and kitchenette were perfect for our needs. Beds were high (great for rolling suitcases under) and very comfortable, plenty of hooks on the walls for hanging our adventure gear and towels. I always bring a small fan with me in travels for the noise and airflow, though there is a great ceiling fan above one bed. Bathroom is large and water is good (plenty for hot showers and no well water smells or anything). The shop next door is open around 10am-6pm daily. It was fairly secluded and very quiet aside from a few trucks driving by (and some farm animal sounds which we greatly enjoyed- only noticeable with the windows open). There were two mugs in the cabinet, you may wish to pack additional microwaveable dishes depending on your needs. We saw chickens/roosters, turkeys, and fancy white geese down the lane next door - they kept to their own space.

Quick Getaway
We booked last minute and just needed a place to sleep. We had plenty of space for the 4 of us, the cooler and even counter space for the crockpot. The beds/pillows were just okay. We would definitely book here again.

Rock hounders
We enjoyed our stay. We were only there in the evenings we had campfire each night and at one one night the manager called to let us know that the northern lights were hitting and we jumped in the car, went about a mile away, and got fabulous pictures of the northern lights overall it was perfect. It was right in the middle of where we wanted to go. Rock hounding, and waterfall chasing. We would do it again.

Pictured Rocks visit
The place was just what we wanted. Location is fantastic about halfway between Munising and Grand Marais. It was only about a mile from the Mosquito Falls/Chappel Rock loop we most wanted to hike.

Babymoon!
We went here for our last trip as a couple before we have our first baby! It was VERY DIRTY. We dusted the entire place, swept, and killed multiple insects (including a brown recluse) when we first entered the place. There were so many dust balls and cobwebs. It looked like the place hadn't been cleaned in years. Other than that, it was the PERFECT stay! We loved how close we were to the hiking trails of Pictured Rocks. Overall, we had an amazing time and a beautiful trip!!

Neat little place
Our first time visiting the upper peninsula of Michigan and this place was in a great location near alot of the waterfalls we visited etc. Only downside to this place bathroom is ice cold , definitely recommend small space heater and propane gas heat which the smell is unbearable. But overall small little place. Would stay only a few days at a time considering the no oven . But was clean quiet and would stay again.

Perfect location
This place is exactly what my friend and I needed. Perfect location to Pictured Rocks. Most of the day we were gone(We went hiking, kayaking and the sunset cruise). and came back at night to shower, eat and sleep. We also made use of the fire pit and brought some games to play at night. This place had the basics:bathroom, nice comfortable bed, mini fridge and microwave. It was clean and simple, which is what we wanted. Highly recommend especially for the price and location! Directions were spot on!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
decent quarters, but nothing special. so, if just looking for a bed to sleep in, this is it. its basically a one room utility shed with a bathroom. very small and remote. there are geese and chickens at nieghboring property, which get very annoying. NO TV NO A/C Almost no hot water. Shower doesn't drain very well, so you stand in a pool of water while showering, but with the lack of warm water, you wont shower very long anyway. yard is sand, with very small entry apron, so sand will track in, and remember you are required to clean before you leave.
