We had an amazing time at The Last Resort! We needed to escape the city and Stacyâs property was the perfect option. It was right off the water and easily accessible for kayaking or boating.
Comfortable, clean with honey, welcoming touches. Nice location-on water, accessible to major roads. This is a top quality cottage at a reasonable price We will recommend and stay here again.
This place is tucked away off the main road right on the Little Bay de Noc. We had everything we needed right down to firewood for the firepit. Stacy, the host is a sweetheart †if we ever are in that area we would definitely stay again.
Stacy is a wonderful host and her communication was stellar. The deck, fire pit and view of the lake were all highlights of this nice extended weekend.
Was a great little cabin in the middle of all the areas we wanted to visit. Access to the lake and all the local attractions and light houses.
Check in was quick and easy and the property was well maintained!
Stacey was on top of everything and great with communication. I would definitely stay here again next year!
Took a long weekend and had an amazing time. The onsite kayaks were wonderful. Did more exploring than staying on site but it was a very comfortable place.
We had a great time and the 2 cozy cabins we stayed in were perfect for our weekend family gathering of 9 adults. Very Clean and well appointed. Really enjoyable property with beautiful Sunrise view over the water from the decks, water crafts provided, fire pit and fun family games. Easy to get to downtown Gladstone and escanaba. Stacy was very informative and helpful. Really easy to work
With. We all want to go back again next year.
We were in town for a wedding and throughly enjoyed this little cabin and the neighbors dog that came to visit us everyday. đ¶ One thing, maybe an extra mirror besides the bathroom one. Two ladies getting ready for a wedding was a little difficult. We will stay again when weâre in the area.
Our stay here was amazing! Stacy & Carl are wonderful hosts who have thought of everything, right down to sâmore to eat by the fire pit! The cabin is clean, well furnished & had all the amenities we needed for our long weekend. We loved using the kayaks each day to go out on the bay. We arenât much for fishing, but it seemed like this would be a great place to do it. They even had a fish cleaning station at the end of the dock! We loved the âout of the wayâ area the cabin is located in, but also loved how easy it was to access the highway to get to where we wanted to go. Gladstone is such a cute area, and we loved visiting Marquette & other areas on Lake Superior up north! All in all, this is the perfect place to stay for anyone!
Loved the cabin! Having the 2 bedrooms and a kitchen is a perfect alternative to a hotel/motel stay. The cabin was super clean and Stacy thought of everything. Sheets and bath towels were super soft. Stacy even had shampoo, conditioner, and soaps for the shower ! Cabin has both AC and fans for the cooler days. Smart checkout on the TV means you can log into streaming accounts and even if you forget to log off, youâll be automatically logged out when you check out. Seamless check in and check out process. Full kitchen and outdoor grill. She has everything youâd need, whether youâre hanging out at the beach, fishing, or going on day trips. Highly recommend!
Check in was so easy and hosts were great at communication throughout our stay! Cabin was so cute and my kids loved being so close to the water. Thank you for a great stay!
