Great location on lake !! Weekend trip to Picture Rocks.

The cabin was very clean and comfortable. I loved the different “levels” you could sit at outside - the deck and down a few steps to the yard and fire pit and down a staircase to the water.
We did have a visitor multiple times a day. It was Waggs, the very well behaved Bernese mountain dog from next dog. He made having to leave my dog home so much easier.

Unfortunately our stay was cut short due to an emergency back at home.We did stay one night.The lake front view is awesome! There is an upper level as you come out the back of the cottage which has patio furniture and a fire pit.There is a stairway that takes you down to the shore where there is a dock.The shore area is cemented and clean.Very nice! it rained the short time we were there but we would have definely taken advantage of these ammenities!
5.0 / 5.0
Nice stay at the cabin. The location is very nice and the outdoor space more than met our needs. The bedrooms and bathroom are a bit cozy, but they worked just fine. We had hoped to get our canoe out on the lake but the weather had other plans.
5.0 / 5.0
This place was great enjoyed everything about it. The only improvement I can think about would be to have a row boat we could have used to get out and do some fishing. We fished off the dock and caught very small perch but from what our neighbor told us it's great fishing if you get out a few hundred yards. But still loved it, cabin was clean and had more than what we needed and the location is beautiful. And Jayne was just a text away all the time great communications. Thanks again, Earl

The lake location was great for sunsets. Too rainy for water activities or campfire. We explored many of the nearby State Parks as well as the Garden Peninsula.
5.0 / 5.0
We really enjoyed our stay, 2 couples, grilled and ate on the back deck, made a fire- they had 4 marshmallow roasting sticks ready for us what a nice touch. Could get a little hot in the bedrooms but fine if you turn the ceiling fans on the highest level I’m a hot sleeper. Friendly pup Wagz visited us. So much charm would definitely recommend

The house and the view was great! The only drawback was the dock we couldn't Park our boat there there was too many rocks and no way to tie your boat up. But everything else was great love the living room great view!

this property is in a great location. Whether you just want to relax in comfort on the lake or take the time to travel to to some of the area beautiful sites. You can see so much in 2 hours or less.
The cottage is clean, roomy and cozy. Everything you need is there. From cooking utensils to bathroom supplies to bedtime. If your a boater or swimmer you don't have to go far to enjoy that.
You'll never find a better place for a sunset!!
I guess the only request I would have is for a flyswatter for that ONE pesky fly.

Very clean well furnished cottage on the lake

lovey location right on the water. I would have appreciated interior more without the deer head on the wall and all the deer pictures—more of a lake theme?

Beautiful location on the water. Great location to all attractions within 45 minutes. We had plenty of room for our family of four. Very clean. DVDs and Record/CDs were awesome. Really enjoyed our stay here.

This was the perfect cottage and location for our stay. We love Manistique and have visited numerous times. This was the best cottage we've stayed at. It was clean and had comfortable beds. The kitchen was perfect. There is a new charcoal grill (yay!!). The management was very responsive. We loved it and will be back!

It was the perfect little house for my group and my 92 year old mother really appreciated it. Beautiful view of The lake and easy to find except your GPS is going to tell you it’s on the left and it’s actually on the right.
