Very clean, comfortable and private lake cabin
We loved staying at this cabin. It was very clean, comfortable, private and in a beautiful location on a small lake. There was plenty of room for our party of 3. We had hoped to use the kayaks but ran out of time. If we return to the area we will definitely try to stay here again.

Rustic Chic
Well off "beaten path", which gives it peace and quiet. Even so, Tahquamenon Falls, Grand Marais, Seney Wildlife Reserve, and Toonerville Trolley are all withing an hour's drive. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. We felt though that Kleenex and shower soap would have been welcome. I would note that, with only one bathroom, the cabin was just right for us, but filling out the sleeping capacity of up to 9 people could be problematic.

Nice cabin - If you like mosquitoes and heat
This cabin has strengths and areas that we think need improvement. Strengths: Near a small pond, well stocked kitchen, very clean and tidy, Pleanty of room for parking and assorted games inside. Weaknesses: Beds in the two main floor bedrooms are full size. We ended up sleeping in separate rooms because the beds are so small. There is no AC, which I can understand because it typically doesn't get very warm in the summer. It did for us - mid to upper 80's which led to a high temp in the cabin of 79F. Not totally unbearable, but also absolutely not comfortable. There are fans available but only helped a little. Being a cabin owner and renter ourselves, we give guests discounts when the AC is non-functional and things become uncomfortable. I think the owner in this case should have offered some type of discount. The worst part were the mosquitoes. There were literally 150-200 perched on my bedroom window first thing in the morning. They were everywhere. We had to run from the cabin to our vehicle to avoid being attacked by them and had about 30 of them in our vehicle after quickly throwing everying in our vehile on departure day. The owner really needs to take some type of action to mitigate them for guests. A treatment or even several bug zappers on the porch and in the driveway would be helpful. You can't enjoy the porch or firepit because there are so many. There's no point in touting the outside of the house if you can't enjoy it because of the mosquitoes.

Wonderful time in a secluded cabin
Overall: We really enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend this cabin. I will try to describe some of the things that you can't know by just looking at the photos and reading the descriptions. Cabin: It was very clean and well maintained. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need. There is a large selection of family board games available. The electric outlets were wisely utilized with night lights, USB charging ports and safety devices. Emergency and other helpful information was clearly posted on the refrigerator. The washer and dryer were very modern and nice to have. There were extra blankets under every bed. Outdoors: If you want to get away from it all, this is the place. No matter where you walk on the property you cannot see another person or building. You can easily spend a few hours hiking on the paths on the property and still not see anyone. The lake is very calm and the kayaks fun to use. There is a shed where the boats are stored that also contains firewood that can be purchased. This was very convenient. Area: The cabin is only about 10 minutes away from the town of Grand Marais and the entrance to Pictured Rocks. If you want to see the Northern Lights, there is a large viewing area by the beach in Grand Marais. The drive to Munising is about 50 minutes. The direct route takes you through quite a bit of gravel roads on Adam’s Trail. You might find it better to take the longer way on routes 77 and 28 which are paved and only 5 minutes longer. Owners: The owners are terrific, very helpful and quick to respond. Mitch took the time to answer our questions and provided advice based on what we were planning to do.

3 night vacation to Pictured Rock
The cabin was perfect! Lots of space and great beds. The area is very secluded and the lake is very pretty. It is about 40 minutes from Munising but only 15 minutes from Grand Marais.

Perfect place to relax
The Woodford cabin was even better then we expected. Grand Marais is a beautiful small town and Pictured Rocks is an easy drive. Our best time was the time spent relaxing at the cabin. Wish we could have stayed longer.
