Perfect hidden gem!
The moment we pulled up, we knew we found our perfect place. The home is very well maintained, smelled great, very clean and stunning views. Chris was so amazing. Any questions we had about the home or the area, he was very quick to respond - extremely kind and helpful. We can't wait to book again and bring our families this time - but we'll still have this as our annual girls' trip home away from home! Thank you so much, Chris. You went above & beyond to make sure we felt welcomed and that our trip was perfect!

Fall Getaway
We were looking for a quick getaway for a few nights before it started to get too cold. This property was perfect and provided all of the comforts of home along with a beautiful lake. This area is near many of the UP attractions so there is plenty to do or you can just hang out at the house. It was very well cared for and as described in the listing and the host was available and helpful during our stay. Would definitely return to this house.

Round Lake Gem!!!
We loved the open floor plan, it was great for families to eat and hang out. Loved the LargeTable/Bar for meals. The Kitchen is well-appointed and stocked with necessities for cooking at home.
The home has a great “UP Cabin Vibe”. Absolutely loved the wall of windows facing the lake. The home is nestled on a quiet area of lake.
Christmas lights in the tree are a big help when returning from evening boat ride. Star Link Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. Nice lush lawn and sandy beach area was great for resting in the sun. Nice Propane Grill for grilling. Water is delicious from tap and brought me back to childhood memories, it was the taste of home. Separate Showers and baths are nice. Glad to have towels and linens provided!!!! I would definitely stay again.

UP fun
Clean and comfortable home on the lake! It was peaceful and seemed remote but was about an hour away from many popular UP destinations. My family especially loved Picture Rocks and all the nearby lighthouses. After sightseeing, kayaks on the lake and s’mores around the fire pit were perfect. Chris is a great host and you won’t regret booking his retreat.

UP Vacation
What a fantastic place to stay ! Chris was always available via text or phone promptly answering our questions before and during our stay. Our group has been coming to the UP to snowmobile for over 30 years and this was by far the nicest place we've ever stayed. Beautiful & well kept, the kitchen, Island & living room overlooking the lake and the 2 spacious full baths were perfect for a large group. I highly recommend staying here. I can only imagine a summer stay must be even better. Thanks Chris

Fantastic Getaway!
We had a great time staying here. The large open kitchen/dining/living area was ideal for our large family, and the ability to dock our boat was super convenient for getting out on the water quickly. Chris is friendly, attentive, and responded quickly to any texts. All in all, we enjoyed everything about our stay! Thank you, Chris!

We were very pleased with the cleanliness of the cabin and it was sufficiently stocked for our needs! The beach area was very relaxing and clean. The host of our cabin checked in with us a few times just to make sure that things were going well. The Area also is very centrally located for trips to other areas of the UP.

We rented the cabin for our family vacation. It was a great size for our family and our friends family. The lake out front has a nice little beach area for the kids to play in the sand which was great. Nice area to sit out by the fire as well. The cabin was very clean and nice inside. Had all the supplies we needed to cook and have a great time. The area is nice and has a pizza/ ice cream shop 5 minutes away that we went to a couple times.
