Ideal isolated and quiet cabin
Exactly what a quiet week Up North should be. Cabin was well-furnished, five (!!) different boats provided, firewood provided, quiet lake with, from what I could tell, 5 total cabins on it. Almost zero mosquitos, but a good amount of flies by the shore. Hosts escorted us to the property at check-in, which I was not used to, but because it's so far off the road that's really the best way to do it.

Excellent stay
Excellent stay in a very private, quiet, clean well equipped cabin. Beautiful setting. Kids had a ton of fun playing outside and having campfires. Convenient to Crystal Falls for supplies and a good deli and diner. Enjoyed the boat and electric trolling motor- some nice bass and pike in there. Excellent kind owners ensure a great stay. Highly recommend if you really want to unplug, relax and enjoy nature.

Amazing location and owners!
The cabin on the lake is amazing. Very quiet and relaxing and the cabin has all the comforts of home. The owners were tremendously helpful and went out of their way to answer all of our questions before and during our stay! Our family of five caught plenty of fish, saw wild life, swam in the lake and relaxed. The location is perfect for day trips to other areas of the U.P. As well. Thanks Dave and Nancy for making our stay so great!

Very pleasant and relaxing week
I thoroughly enjoyed the stay and hope to go back next year. Dave Young was extremely helpful and the lake was gorgeous. My wife and three kids and I had a great time. Everyone caught a fish.
