Cabin has a beautiful setting on a quiet lake. Cabin was clean, beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. Host was very responsive. One slight draw back is, it is quite a ways from the main highway on gravel roads which adds time to get to area attractions. Even with that though, we would still recommend this beautiful property.

All Pictured Rocks could offer and a beautiful place to stay

Your on a lake, it can sleep 8 - all Queen beds, we had 4 people so we all got our own bed. Lake view is beautiful, cabin is comfortable. It has one bathroom and is 20 min from the closest paved road but we would stay there again. Very peaceful setting.

Weekend Getaway

Cute cabin on a small private lake. Pretty remote with dirt roads to get to the property. Close enough to what we wanted to do (Pictured Lakeshore) while being out of town. Clean and had most of what we needed for our stay.

Beautiful cabin on the lake

We had a wonderful getaway while staying at this cabin. It was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the campfire by the lake, kayaking, and using the paddle boat. It was in a remote area but still convenient for day trips to Munising and Marquette.
