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.

We had the most relaxing time staying at Lake Effect Cabin. The house is very well maintained. It had everything we needed. The location of the house is picturesque. There are swans that live on the lake. They visited us in the morning. The host was attentive. Very quick to respond to questions. So happy to be able to bring our dog.

Very nice and clean cabin on a beautiful little lake. Included all of the amenities you need, and in a very a quiet setting.Three kayaks and a paddle boat on site made for a great afternoon of paddling around.At night the kids caught a bunch of catfish off of the dock.Firewood is available just down the road as well.About a 30 min drive to Munising/pictured rocks.Would definitely recommend this place for the value.

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.
