The place was cute and cozy. It was very conveniently located too. Host did allow us an early check in which was helpful as we drove from lower MI and were estimating arrival and made better timing than we anticipated. Family loved the DQ across the street too.
My husband and 12 year old daughter stayed there for 3 nights while we explored Pictured Rocks. This is definitely a crash pad and worked well for getting a quick breakfast before going exploring.
As all the others have said, it is a perfect couple getaway close to all the points of interest. Clean, well stocked & clear directions for check out. Highly recommend this place. Thank you!
We had a wonderful stay in your cute cozy cottage. Everything was immaculate and very nicely decorated. We had everything we needed and loved the location . Lisa is excellent, she stayed in contact from the time of booking to checkout, often checking in to see if we needed anything. We would absolutely stay here again!
We visited Munising to snowshoe and ski at Pictured Rocks National Park and Valley Spur . Perfect pristine snow! Hope to be back soon if it doesn’t snow enough in Wisconsin. Loved both coffeeshops the Gallery and Falling Rock and By George Brewery. People were welcoming and friendly . We love this area . We have visited several times inn Winter and Summer
Cleanliness prevails. Absolutely clean throughout. Everything that 2 humans & their canine need. Location is ideal. Can easily walk to food, beverage, & local historical venues. Safe, quiet, and comfortable even though located on main thoroughfare. Highly recommend.
This cottage was perfect for me, my daughter and her dog. We had a great time, the house is well appointed and the location was perfect for us. We walked to our ride on the Pictured Rocks Boat Cruise and to restaurants. There are grocery stores in short driving distance. We highly recommend! Be advised that there is no washer/dryer (as advertised) and there are no laundromats nearby.
This property exceeded our expectations. Very tastefully decorated and thoughtfully furnished, this cottage was very comfortable and an easy base camp for our sight seeing activities. Everything we hoped to explore was close by. Communication with property management was always prompt and helpful, if needed. We give highest kudos for cleanliness. Not even a small problem for us, but others should be aware that the bedroom is small and that the lake view is limited. Note that neither of these stopped us from being extremely please with our stay in this very pleasant neighborhood cottage. We unreservedly give this place our highest recommendation.
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
The property was clean and well-furnished. We were able to bring our daughter's dog. The property manager was especially helpful about making sure we could get into the house.
The cottage was very nice and a good place to use as a base of operations. Parking was a little wonky but worked fine and the neighbors were very friendly when we asked to confirm we were ok. The cleanup instructions were just a bit over the top. We've never been asked to strip beds before. Overall, it was a nice place to stay while we visited this beautiful area!
Very cute cottage that suited our needs perfectly. We cooked meals inside and on the grill outside. We could walk two blocks to Pictured Rocks Cruises and a short drive to more than 3 waterfalls. We could park right near the entrance and keep our shoes in foyer to keep sand out. There was a park within walking distance for the kids. We would stay again.
