Nice Getaway

My husband and I were looking for a quiet place to stay and this was the perfect retreat. Not too far away from Houghton or other things to do in the UP, but definitely off the beaten path. The home was well equipped and had everything we needed. There is plenty of space for a larger group. I would highly recommend this location to anyone.

Perfect place for a long weekend!

This was the perfect place for us to get away and “unplug” with family and friends for a long weekend. We were able to relax in the hot tub, play games in the basement, enjoy being outside and play board games to our hearts content. The host was very kind and let us know all the details we needed to know ahead of time so check in and check out was a breeze. They were also very responsive with any questions or small things that came up while we were there. We were very sad to leave and would come back here anytime we are in the area for another recharge!
