Up north 2023
We spent 3 days and really enjoyed it. The house was immaculate. Well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. Looking out over the lake every morning was so relaxing. Didn't have time for fishing as we were on a mission to see color changes. It was beautiful up north. Especially h58 highway between munising and grand maris. October 17 to 20. We hit the peak just right. Also had fun finding water falls and cool rocks. Couldn't ask for a better time. We definately would stay here again.

Nice lakefront
The somewhat remote location right on the lake is nice. It would be great for kids, with a small but mostly flat waterfront. The lake appears to have a sandy bottom, and at the end of the pier it was probably only a couple feet deep, so nice for younger kids. The deck has plenty of furniture for quite a few people. The house was ok, note it is a manufactured or prefab home. The kitchen is a nice size and the living room furniture is newer. There is a nice tray of items for s'mores, and some treats, which is nice. Location is good for exploring, about an hour from Pictured Rocks. It’s between 2.5 hour drive to Porcupine Mountain and Copper Harbor. On the other hand, there is deferred maintenance that needs to be done (burnt bulbs, including microwave which makes stovetop cooking a bit harder, towel holder coming off wall, broken stopper in sink, taped on tile trim in bath, horribly loud fan in bathroom, etc.). It would be nice to have a welcome binder as most places do, with info about location, local restaurants, wifi code (told to locate it on bottom of router), etc. just to make it more convenient for guests.

Great stay
We had a wonderful week at this lakeside cabin with our two children. The cabin was clean and well-appointed, and furnished with everything needed. The lake was beautiful and serene, and a great place to unwind. The location was perfect for taking side trips around the UP, such as to Marquette and Munising, and nearby hiking trails. Owners were very responsive and communicative throughout!

We enjoyed our stay at the Sorensen's rental home very much. All the essentials were provided. My daughter and her family live only 10 minutes away so they were able to come everyday with their four children ages 5 months to 5 years old. The grandkids loved it- especially the water. The shallow sandy lake was perfect for them. They also loved canoeing with their aunts, and roasting marsh mellows and making S'mores almost every night. My daughter's in laws also live close by and came twice to visit. Their family of 12 plus my daughter's family of 6, as well as my family of 5 all fit comfortably in the house- there was plenty of room for us to spread out and play games or just visit. My adult children ages 21 to 26 enjoyed the canoe, kayaks, hiking and just hanging out. Our departure day came too quickly- we could have easily stayed longer. We hope to do it again next year. Thank you Dave and Gina for opening your home to us- it was the next best thing to being home. :)

Perfect place to work from UP and relax
We had a fantastic time at this well-furnished home on a clear spring-fed lake in the forest. The WiFi worked so well we were both able to be on zoom calls at the same time. The kayaks were higher quality than is typical at a rental cabin, and the beds are super comfy. Don’t miss Towners for chocolates and croissants, Jack’s Hideaway for live music. The house is on a lakeside road with family cottages dating back to as early as 1907. Very friendly community. Perfect week working from Up North!

Quiet and comfy
The location was beautiful - very spacious. The lake was quiet and very shallow near shore - easy access with kayaks and swimming for the dogs. It's a bit remote, but loved our daily hikes in the area - stunning! Marquette was fabulous! The linens could be refreshed a bit - but very cozy and liveable!

Perfect UP Lake House
Our group of 6 and dogs could not have been more happy with our stay this weekend. The house was clean and the kitchen had EVERYTHING you needed to make some great meals with the family and enjoy a bonfire by the water every night. We appreciated the welcome basket of goodies, thank you! The property was private and peaceful, and the sunsets over the lake were the perfect ending to every day. We loved kayaking/paddleboarding around the little islands on the lake and ending every night having smores and wine by the fire. Great location between Marquette and Pictured Rocks, we were able to explore a little bit of both. We only wish we could have spent more time there. The owner was also very responsive and gave helpful recommendations for the area. Thank you for everything! - The Sigmans
