This cabin has everything you need for a seamless snowmobile trip. It is close to a main trailhead (8), town with a restaurant/bar, grocery store, clean and stocked with all of the necessities. Definitely would stay here again!
Megan was super welcoming and helpful. She checked in via message to make sure we made it ok as well as had everything we needed for our stay. They had lots of extras and things for guests in case you forgot something or just wanted to use. We would definitely stay here again!
The place was great! I do agree with the comment that pictures don’t do it justice. Super cute and everything was labeled and well thought out. The breakfast down the road at the bear trap inn was good too. Will stay again if the opportunity arises.
The house was perfect for our needs. It was in a great location, clean, had nice firm memory foam beds, and was one of the most well-appointed vacation rentals we've stayed in. We will definitely be back.
Overall nice property, not far from Munising, we enjoyed hiking to area waterfalls during our stay. Home was clean, host was very easy to communicate with, would recommend and will likley stay again~
The house was a terrific home base for our trip to Pictured Rocks. We enjoyed how convenient it was for all of our day tripping adventures. The house was clean and we enjoyed cooking dinner while playing board games in the evening!
We had the absolute best weekend! This cozy cabin was pefect in every way! We visited so many water falls, miners castle, kitch iti kipi, oswalds bears! And was still within an hour distance of the house! They are very kid friendly, we loved not having to pack all the baby gear!! Megan was always quick to reply with anything we needed!
From the moment we pulled up, it was like being at home. The Cozy Cabin was just that! With everything needed for a large family to bonfire or cook big dinners. Snuggling on the couch for movies or just as a comfortable place to sleep. It had something for everyone in our family including fun board games that were a treat. We enjoyed our time at the house as much as our time exploring the surrounding areas.
Communication was amazing and so helpful. We definitely will be planning another trip in the future!
This is the most well maintained VRBO we have ever stayed at. New windows with working shades, great screens that kept out the mosquitoes and cranked easily. All the appliances are new and work wonderfully. Filtered water is available from the fridge door and there is an ice maker in the freezer. The air conditioning in the living room kept us cool in the middle of the day. The bathroom had great water pressure and no drippy faucets. The owner provided chairs for the fire pit and cozy flannel blankets in the bedrooms. The couch and chair in the living room are very supportive and you dont sink down onto the floor. The beds are comfortable. All the switches are labeled and work. The house was quite clean. The VRBO is a quick 10 minute drive into Munising. We loved relaxing here between all our adventures! If you stay here you will NOT be disappointed.
Absolutely loved our stay here. Everything was well-marked (even light switches!) and documented. Beds were comfy. I honestly didn't use the kitchen much, so can't comment on it, but it looked well stocked. The host was fantastic. My husband tore his quad tendon on the way to the house (leaving another bnb) and the host was great about recommending things to do/see with my husband's new limited mobility (we'd planned a lot of hiking). Fantastic to work with. We were there for fall colors, but will be recommending it to a family for snowmobiling season - it looked very well set up for that.
Only one thing could be improved... but it's typical of vacation home rentals recently... some luggage racks in the bedrooms would be nice. We used some folding chairs to make one for my husband in the bedroom we used (and I used one of the beds in a bedroom we didn't use).
We really loved everything they have done to ensure you have a nice stay. They have put a LOT of thought and care into it. I can't recommend it enough.
Excellent location for Pictured Rocks vacation. The rental was exactly what we needed, great accommodations, clean, fully supplied kitchen. Would definitely stay again.
