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!

More than we expected

The rooms and living areas were larger than we expected. The convenience of downtown made driving unnecessary. The inside was spotless and the view from the windows made it comfortable and relaxing.

Waterfalls, lighthouses, and Pictured Rocks.

A nicely appointed home, in a great location, convenient for exploring all the beauty the area has to offer. We visited all the local shops in Munising, saw many waterfalls, lighthouses, and the Pictured Rocks, visited Marquette, Tahqhamenon Falls, and picked up rocks at Christmas and Grand Marais beaches. A great time, snd hope to visit again in the future.

Great stay!

Large house with enough space for our group of 11. Ranging from age 4 to 60. Everything was clean upon arrival and the directions for the house were easy to understand. We loved cooking in the kitchen and eating our meals together at the big table. Close to lots of other destinations. Only complaint would be the grill is a bit rusty so we were not comfortable using it. The host was easy to get ahold of. Would stay again if I came to the area again.

Clean and spacious

This house was perfect for our family of 10. There was plenty of room and everything was clean. They do not supply soap & shampoo for the showers (we stayed at multiple rentals on this trip and this was the only one that didn’t). Basically plan to bring everything you might need. The communication/paperwork before our stay was a little excessive but they left us alone for the duration of the stay (so don’t let that scare you). All in all great place and I highly recommend it, if staying in Munising.
