Perfect spot for UP travels for a fair price
A lovely little home for the family to come back to after adventuring for the day or to stay in if you feel like relaxing. Well equipped kitchen gave us plenty of opportunity to cook our own meals. Plenty of amenities made everything comfortable for us. The fenced in area in the back allowed our dogs some freedom to run around and use the bathroom. The provided scooper and mini rake made clean up easy. The location made it very easy to access many of the places we wanted to see. Local searches showed us many other places that proved to be very fun. We will definitely be keeping this location saved if we travel to that area again. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

Perfect mid-point
The house was great! Very well furnished, had supplies that I haven’t run across in any of my vacations! ALL soaps for kitchen and bathroom! All condiments that you would need for any kind of cooking! Great locations to restaurants! Great location to get out and see whatever you want to see! Longest drive was to Whitefish Point and it was only just over an hour! Honestly didn’t have time to do everything that we wanted to do so a second trip is in our future! Sam was a wonderful host and his pasties were great! Came home with some!

Long weekend
My family enjoyed a long weekend in the Upper Peninsula with Naubinway as our home base. The drives to other locations were not too far and we enjoyed some of the local dining Naubinway had to offer. The home had beds a bathroom, and the comfort we needed. Good property!

This was a great spot centrally located to visiting different areas. Sam was a super friendly host who accommodated us in every way. We enjoyed the space and found it very comfortable. A tasty bonus were the pasties Sam added…and Hiawatha pasties are the best! Our two dachshunds came with us and the back yard was great for them. Truly a memorable vacation at this place. Thanks Sam.

SXS Riding in eastern UP
We spent 4 days exploring trails and visiting attractions during our stay in Naubinway! This place worked great for us. Sam was awesome to work with and we appreciate that! We also enjoyed the wonderful pasties from his family business, Hiawatha Pasties. Note, our stay was made much easier being that our SXS is street legal. We highly recommend Sam’s place!!

UP family get together
We traveled 11 hours for a family reunion vacation in the UP. A member of the family has a home just 2 miles west of Naubinway in the Hiawatha Club community however not enough space for all to stay. It was great to have our own house space! We were able to have some family over for breakfast that were staying at hotel across the road. My only complaint would be no actual coffee maker, French press doesn’t work for us heavy coffee drinkers-we picked one up in near by Newberry. Overall a great stay and we will be renting from Sam again, a very nice and helpful host!!

We needed a place to stay somewhere on the east side of the U.P. This place was perfect. It was easy to get to and communication was great. We had no complaints.

Great stay and property!
We had a great stay! Sam went above and beyond with snacks, free pastie meal, pancake mix, syrup, and condiments being provided. It was a great location to everything around. We would definitely recommend staying here!
