Cute cabin! Very clean and had all kitchen amenities we needed. They kindly accommodated our dog and had outdoor grill and fire pit cooking options which made our stay very enjoyable.
We had a fabulous time, highly recommend to anyone who loves the water and wants to relax.
The cabin was really nice, it had everything we needed. We were close to the water and got to fish, go kayaking and paddle-boating. We didn't want to leave, had a great time.
Our stay was awesome. We met up with family during the day and early evening eating smores by the fire pit.The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
Our little family of 3 had a wonderful stay here! The cabin was absolutely perfect with everything we could have needed... and more! We had out 2 year old with and it was a perfect time. Close to Gladstone for convenience and also felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. We will be coming back.
We loved the cabin, how clean it was, how it had everything we needed and more (even chocolate!) and would not hesitate to book again! We were very comfortable. A good find! Thank you!
The cabin was clean and cozy! It was exceptionally hot during the day, so the A/C was a blessing! The neighbors were so nice and welcoming to us and our golden retriever!
Some friends and I were on a motorcycle ride in the UP and this place fit our needs. It is on the smaller side, so I would no more than 2 couples. The lake is right there and we were able to enjoy our nights sitting outside, watching the wildlife.
My husband and I and our 2 boxers loved our stay at Last Resort Cottages! The cottage was very clean upon arrival, the owners were very helpful with everything, and most importantly, they allow our fur babies! We loved that the cabin was fully stocked and we didn't even have to bring our own wood to burn. The neighbors are friendly and helpful with fishing tips. We loved our stay and will definitely return some day.
The place is small but cozy! The area felt safe especially for the children. Stacy was so sweet and had great communication with us! We got to kayak for the first time that was so fun and the water there and the areas just so beautiful! The moon was huge and full. It was a pleasant view while sitting next to the bonfire!!! Will definitely be back!!!

Charming little cottage just a short distance from the water. We enjoyed a morning of kayaking and then checked out the local lighthouses. Exploring Escanaba was on our afternoon agenda. Great lttle town! Spent the evening at the cottage. The place offered us everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The front porch was a nice place to hang out before the sun set. The place was very clean and set up to meet all of our needs. Excellent communication with our hostess when I had questions. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!
Wewould have liked to do more boating but instead we played tourist more than we usually do. Found some great restaurants, visited a dispensary for the first time. Checked the art scene (it's minimal) Our host Stacy was pleasant and responsive.
We usually go to different places year to year but may have to re-think it.
Stacy was amazingly warm, inviting, available and kind during our whole stay at the cottage. From before our arrival to post our arrival, she exuded hospitality. Very much above and beyond hosts!!
The cottage is as described, clean, good location between beaches and beds (even the pull out:) were comfortable. Kitchen has condiment basics and all kitchen utensils needed. Intimate cottage, yet enough space for the family!
All outdoor extras were super appreciated. We completely enjoyed the small boats available, kids water vests, and outdoor fire pit.
While the cottage was cute and clean, the water inside was nasty and rusty smelling! Shower was too small, kept bumping arms on walls. Couldn’t fish from the docks, too shallow lots of seaweed and reeds. Overall, is was a beautiful view everyday.
We had a pretty good week considering the weather wasn’t the best.
The cabin was small but it was all we needed! It was clean, well stocked, and right on the water!
The only downside was the water was a bit shallow so it wasn’t ideal for our 20 ft deep V Ranger boat to get to the dock. It was also a bit of a struggle to find a place to put the trailer once we did get the boat in. However, the neighbors are quite nice and allowed us to use their area. Other than that, we had a great time and caught a few fish!
It was also nice to meet Stacey in person as we don’t usually know who we are renting from!! Thanks again Stacey!
