Hate to be critical of this home but upgrades need to be made. The house was clean but had a urine odor on the main level. Beds need to be upgraded. There was only one queen bed not two and one of the twin beds was so uncomfortable no one could sleep on it. The toilet on the main level was leaking water on the floor.

This location is great, right on lake superior with a small stream on the property. Very close to in town Munising. I was disappointed there were many dead trees and shrubs blocking the beautiful view of Lake Superior. The home was clean but could have been cleaner, we left some M&M’s out for a couple hours on accident while visiting waterfalls and mice got into them. We found mice droppings as well. The upstairs bathroom doesn’t have a blind making it revealing at night time. Great location but could use some work/maintenance for the price.

This property is more beautiful than the pictures capture, and it is so conveniently located in relation to all of the local attractions.

June visit
Cabin was very nice. Location was close to many things. Not able to walk to anything because on a busy road with no sidewalks. one of the 2 bathrooms was located in the upstairs bedroom, so inconvenient for other guests. No curtains/blinds in that bathroom , so couldn't shower at night. Plenty of towels and sheets available. Fully stocked kitchen. Paper towels and napkins were low, so we bought more. Great view and overall positives outweigh any negatives.

Fantastic location
We stayed 4 nights at this house and our main purpose was riding the ATV trails and a cruise to the Pictured Rocks. The house was very clean, beds were fairly comfortable. We enjoyed our mornings and evenings on the deck. The water was shallow and easy access for launching our kayaks.
Cons: there was alot of goose poop on the lawn close to the water ***NOT THE OWNERS FAULT- they can't keep the geese off the lawn when they come by periodically*** ( It's worth mentioning if somebody is bringing small kids however the lawn close to the house is clean)

Munising Snowmobile Trip
Overall excellent. The place is awesome. Great view. Cozy. Spacious. Well appointed. Check in was easy. Would have preferred to speak with someone over the phone but that’s only because I like the personal communication and that’s my own preference. But yes, would highly recommend!

Good stay
We had a great time. The house was drafty and couldn't hold heat real well. Some of the window latches were broken and the tile in the bathrooms were coming apart. The garage door was also broken. Overall we enjoyed it and would come back.

Cozy hideaway.
We had a great time, especially enjoyed sitting on the large porch, overlooking the bay in the early morning. Would definitely consider this place again.

TROUBLE
I actually didn't even get to stay here because an hour before I arrived the owner, Pam, called to tell me the place had bathroom issues and we could not go inside. The next day I dropped by the rental to see if it was ready, since Pam said she would call me in afternoon. There was a van there still working and when I spoke with her next she told me the bathroom floor needed replaced next. So I got a full refund instead and ended up camping in a yurt instead for the rest of the week. Overall Munising was a good stay but I won't make the mistake of renting from Pam again nor will I be using VRBO anymore either. I've never rented a place where some one pulled this bait and switch before, very unprofessional and telling of an awful stay

Beautiful cabin
My family enjoyed our stay. The cabin is beautiful, clean, and spacious. The porches, yard, and fire pit were great. It's very close to many Munising attractions. Wifi was fast, cable was nice on a rainy day. Like any rental it had a few quirks: no fans in the bathrooms, windows wouldn't open, a few blinds wouldn't go up (or had already been ripped off), no ventilation upstairs made it ridiculously hot, lastly - there are only four bowls in the kitchen. It's a bummer there isn't a kayak or canoe. It's really a perfect spot for a kayak. We'd stay again.

A quick family trip
Spent a few days away with family. The property is convenient to the activities we planned. However, upstairs window not working properly so was very warm and the shower dropped water constantly.

Great location
We had a great time staying at this property. This was our first time to Munising and we really enjoyed the area. The location of this property was great. It was close to town and all the activities the Pictured Rocks area has to offer including all the waterfalls in the area. The view was beautiful. The house is roomy and the kitchen is nice and big. There was space from everyone to kick back and relax. It definitely could use some updating but it seemed like they were in the process of updating a few things. The flooring in the 1st floor bathroom was very soft around the toilet, like there was a major leak somewhere. Most of the windows upstairs don't open because the cranks were stripped. We were slightly disappointed in all the geese poop in the backyard which basically made the backyard unusable. There were also a lot of sand wasps in the house, we killed at least 10 to 15 of them. Be careful on the front step, it's a bit of a tripping hazard. Overall we enjoyed our stay but thought the price was a bit steep for the condition of the house.

Memorial Weekend
This cottage is in a perfect location for beaches, hiking, and waterfalls. The house seemed to have everything we needed. Although, a rake would be nice for cleaning up after the geese!!!!! We had a great weekend and would love to come back again someday.

Wonderful retreat!
It was our first time visiting the Munising area and Pam’s place was the perfect choice to stay at while we were there! We brought our two golden retrievers to explore the Pictured Rocks area and they absolutely loved it. The yard was perfect and spacious for them to run around in. The view of the lake was absolutely gorgeous. Beds were very comfortable. Location was excellent. I can’t complain about this place! I hope to visit again very soon and will definitely stay there again!

Cold
Although people came out twice to address the heat issue; it didn't help. The baseboard heaters are no match for the Michigan cold. It was 56 degrees in the house Sunday morning. We were able to get it up to 62 on Saturday; but that was with the oven on and the door open and pots of water boiling on the stove. Their was a gas stove in the living room that would have been a great source of heat; but there was a sign on it that said but to use it. This was the worst experience I've ever had with VRBO. I don't think it's too much to ask to come in from Snow Mobilling and be able to get warm. We should have stayed at the hotel next door.

Beautiful house near pictured rocks and downtown munising
The house is well maintained. Big back and front yards. We always miss the entrance so a well lit sign will probably help. All the supplies that you will need is readily available. This place is really ideal for a big family/group. Theres some board games in the pantry area. Maybe add kayaks/boat too :)

Beautiful location in Munising
We stayed here in October 2020. We were looking for a place where we could easily get to hiking and prep all our own meals (lots of outdoors time during the Pandemic). This fit the bill! You can't beat the location... Right on the edge of Munising and Pictured Rocks. The lake views and porch were beautiful. Property is rustic... Make sure you bring your own hand soap, spices, coffee, etc. Only feedback for property owners would be to provide firewood for the fire pit and add curtains/blinds to the bathroom window. 😊

Cozy and convenient
Perfect place to spend a few days exploring the Pictured Rocks and the UP. Spacious enough to have space for remote work and a great yard for our dogs to run around.

Pam was an exceptional host. She is responsive and her home is a lovely getaway—especially as the leaves are changing. A great place for friends to gather and enjoy the outdoors.

Wonderful Log Cabin on the shores of Lake Superior
This was a spectacular log cabin. Absolutely beautiful inside and out. I wanted to pick it up and take it to my cottage on Georgian Bay. There are many beds and a fully equipped kitchen. Even has laundry facilities which is so helpful with a large family. Kayaking Pictured Rocks and hiking all the waterfalls is very close by. We even had a wonderful treat left for us by a very thoughtful Pam. Thanks so much, your place is fantastic. We loved our stay in your beautiful home and will be back next year.
