Loved our stay here! Amazing house, lots of room, clean, in town, easy check in. Excellent VRBO. Looking forward to coming back for a longer stay next time!
We stayed here for our annual trip and it was perfect. Plenty of beds for everyone, wonderful linens and pillows, lots of space to hang out and play games. Excellent communication from the property owner. Walking distance to the boat cruise and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.
Wonderful and clean home in a perfect spot for exploring Munising, the pictured rocks, and the Lake Superior shoreline. Spacious home had everything we needed, and is within walking distance of lots of attractions. We had a great week in late summer here!
Located in the heart of downtown Munising Doc’s place is walkable to just about any restaurant in Munising as well as Lake Superior and the town Dock.
Loved the house it is very clean and welcoming. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was in good condition. We would definitely stay at Doc’s place again!
This was our 4th summer trip up to Munising. We love the area and exploring. This summer we stayed in Doc’s place and had an amazing experience. Plenty of space, well stocked bathrooms and kitchen. We had two children with us and they had space to play. We loved DQ across the street and visited every evening!
My family of 6 had a great time in this beautiful home in Munising. It is very roomy, with a huge table for dinner and games and plenty of seating in the living room/sun room. It is walking distance to the Pictured Rock boat tours and downtown Munising. It's very close to trails and waterfalls. We enjoyed 2 fires in the firepit and made lots of great memories. I highly recommend this home.
We stayed at Doc's house during the Christmas holidays to be close to family and friends. It worked out great. Plenty of space with the open kitchen/dining room and adjacent living room. The 4 upstairs bedrooms are roomy with closets. Full baths on both levels. Clean, comfortable, in-town location. Would stay again. Highly recommend.
We booked Doc's Place for a Car Club weekend. The location was perfect. Walking distance to food, beverage, tour boat dock and stores. The host was attentive and sent a text after we arrived to make sure we were all doing good. Parking for our four classic cars was great. The best part was the house. Clean. Well stocked kitchen utensils. Bathrooms were clean and we had plenty of towels and wash clothes for 8 adults. Very comfortable. The only complaint was the Dairy Queen across the street was closed for the season. We all recommend this property'
Our family stayed here for two nights over the holidays. This is a very clean and cozy home within a short walking distance to restaurants. Great host, home and location.
We have stayed here before, which is the reason we came back. Great location to the event we were attending. Walking distance to stores and restaurants. Host is very responsive. We enjoyed our stay.
The house was very clean and comfortable. The location is great for all of the area activities. Lisa was very responsive and helpful. We will stay here again if we are back in the area.
It was clean and was in a great location. Very clear instructions from the hosts. We loved the fire pit for s’mores and ate outside a few times which was nice.
Fantastic place to stay. Large, clean, beautifully updated home that felt very spacious, even for a group of 10. Located on the main road with direct access to the walking/bike path made for easy access to the stores, pictured rocks tour ferry dock, grand island ferry dock, etc. Highly recommend!
