Great place to stay and great history of the house. Wish we could have stayed longer!

A charming, well-cared for, and very comfortable vintage cottage in a quiet neighborhood. We loved our stay, and really enjoyed coming back after a fun day of exploring to sitting on the back patio next to the river. The back yard is beautiful, with a large oak tree stretching over the river and a patio table where you can sit and drink your coffee in the morning. One of the bedrooms tended to get too warm, but the owners will be installing central air soon I heard. The kitchen was well equipped for making family dinners. The living room had a large dining table and space to relax together. The only downside for the kayakers in our family was that Pictured Rocks is 50 minutes to an hour away, but if you're looking to explore Manistique and the local area, the location is perfect.

Great setting right on the river and close to town. We had a very enjoyable stay.

The property was as described in the posting. The location was great and the owners were very accommodating by meeting us when we arrived and offering suggestions of things to do in the area. Our grandkids did not want to get out of the water!

Wonderful beach location. The boardwalks out to the beach were especially appreciated as some of us are not that agile, and it was so much fun to be able to get to the water easily. A great place to relax, read, watch the humming birds, swim or just completely chill. The two cottages are perfect for two couples traveling together, each gets their own space. The small trailer on site would be good for extra beds for older kids, or an adult. Pretty tight for two but do-able. Cottages were clean, charming and well stocked. Don't forget to bring sheets and towels.

We had a wonderful week glamping on Lake Michigan! The cabins were perfect for our little group and having the beach right at our fingertips was awesome! They have everything you need to enjoy your visit, from a hammock to the beach chairs to sit around the bonfire in. They even had a list of things to do set out for us. I'd definitely recommend glamping on Lake Michigan if you have a chance.

We loved the cabins with the beautiful view, being right at the beach, and all the outdoor space, deck, fire pit. Everything went well and the kitchen had everything we needed to make dinner and grill out. All the windows let in the fresh air lake view. We had a great time with 5 adults but would be more comfortable for 4. This is a beautiful spot and the cabins are very unique and fun to stay in. Thank you!

We loved staying in Manistique! The cabin was clean and well stocked. It was right on the beach. Our host was welcoming and pleasant . They were on site for the time we were there, which we didn't know about but it didn't matter because the cabins were far enough apart from one another. We had a wonderful time and would love to come back!

Wow! We loved staying at the tiny cabins in Manistique SO MUCH! Everything was absolutely incredible - the space was cozy with character, the view was gorgeous, the kitchen was well stocked (seriously, this was awesome and a relief!), the beach was beautiful and the water was so fun to swim in! Raymond was easy to communicate with over phone about arrival/departure and other things. It was honestly a dream to spend a weekend there - we were bummed that the place was for sale because we want to return in the future for another exciting and comfy stay!!

Amazing two cabins! They're very nice&clean and well equipped, super bright and airy. Ray and Diane was very accommodating, explained every detail about the cabins and the neighborhood, even where to get smoked fish :) Me and my friends would woke up every morning seeing the pinky sky through the windows and feeling blessed. Would love to recommend and stay again if I could!

Everything about this place is perfect...the cabins, beach and the host. It was definitely the best place we have stayed in Michigan...very, very peaceful. We absolutely loved it & will definitely be back!

Very good place to spend a few quiet days away from hustle and bustle. Very clean and comfortable!

Great little cottage, very quiet setting!

This house is very excellent!! It is easy to play fishing, swimming and kayaking. I have two children who has a big power... They were always exciting in this trip. And then they slept well at night. In additional my parents who visited to U.S. were pleased with this staying.

Questa cabina era così carino! E 'anche un odore grande.

Beautiful setting. Colors at the perfect peak. Cabin very comfortable. Woods nearby amazing. Suggestions for day trips were wonderful. Hank you for a perfect family retreat.

It was a great long weekend of unplugging, laughing, cards and campfires. Thank you for letting us use your cabin.

Loved the cabin! We were up north in a group of six friends and the size and location were perfect for us. The cabin can definitely sleep more than six however. The cabin is enough in the woods that it is silent and peaceful at all hours of the day. Lakefront property is a 5 minute walk and a pedal boat, canoe, and paddles are provided. The main attraction nearby is Pictured Rocks- we spent every day of our stay driving up tot he lakeshore and doing new hikes, beaches, and seeing new formations. About a half hour drive north of the cabin. Overall, the place was a great base to hang out, cook dinner, make s'mores around the fire, and enjoy the peace of the UP.

Soggiornando in questo cabina era davvero una delizia. 14 dei nostri amici siamo stati qui per il fine settimana, quindi abbiamo potuto fare escursioni nella foto rocce. L'accesso al lago, di proprietà privata, e la bellezza della terra era tutto il necessario. La cabina adatto tutte le nostre esigenze. La cucina era perfetta, le scale fino al piano superiore soppalco è stato davvero cool - a tutti è piaciuto moltissimo! I letti erano puliti. Perfetto per un week-end a nord.

Lo abbiamo amato. Il nostro gruppo è piaciuto. L'isolamento era tutto il necessario per registrare e scrivere canzoni. Essere in grado di passeggiare i sentieri intorno alla baracca ha aiutato con l'ispirazione e di compensazione le nostre menti. Ci sarà sicuramente tornare.

We had a great time at Thunder Lake! The cabin was beautiful and the lake was gorgeous! We only wish the dock was in better condition. We used a public access down the road and were in the lake in no time. Great fishing and kayaking.

My fiance, two friends and I recently stayed a weekend at the manistique cabin. We chose this location for the remote location as well as the convenience to pictured rocks in manistique. We immediately felt at home when we entered the cabin. It was cozy as well as graciously stocked with the common necessities anyone would need for their stay. Communication with Ellen was quick in responses as well as informative. What u see on the listing is exactly what u get and I appreciated that l. Highly recommend! Thank you

A solid host and house for those looking for accommodations in the UP of Michigan. Snacks and water were available, rooms were nice, and everything was well cleaned each day. Garden is a bit out of the way, but there's a gas station and a few solid restaurants real close, and you're only 60 minutes from Pictured Rocks and 90 minutes from Marquette. I nice touch were the fire escape ladders I noticed in the hallway of the 2nd level. You won't find those in hotels! A perfect example of the free market and private individuals doing things better than government and corporations.

Our family had a nice overnight stay at the Coffee Exchange. Lovely old home t enjoy.

Nancy was a great hostess. Our room was clean, tidy and quiet which made for a great night sleep. We were greeted with fresh coffee and a light breakfast before we hit the road in the morning. Local places to eat and visit were provided and all of them great! We'd stay again if ever in the area.

Garden is an out of the way location for some. Very close to Fayette Historic State Park which is a lovely place to visit. This airbnb was very convenient and a nice place to rest our heads.

We enjoyed 5 nights at the Summer House INN while we explored the surrounding area. We were pleased with the space and the cleanliness of the rooms. Nancy is a wonderful host, and very knowledgable about the area. We were offered a light breakfast along with coffee in the mornings which was a lovely surprise. There was also a fridge available for guests to use, a nice deck in back for lounging, as well as a few chairs on on the front porch. Would stay again!

It was just what we were looking for. A unique and comfortable spot with good coffee, near Fayette State Park/Museum. A great new casual restaurant nearby, on the water, was a bonus. The hosts were friendly and helpful, and the suite felt private with big windows for breezes.

The Coffee Exchange is such a lovely place to spend a night or more. We stayed with our children in the family room. The room had a walk-through children's bedroom with two beds, then a huge main bedroom and an equally huge bathroom, all clean and tidy. There's wifi, but no tv. We had an evening meal at the local Dock restaurant, which was superb. Breakfast was delicious, with cereal and Nancy's homemade breakfast pasties. Yum! We were made to feel very welcome here and highly recommend it.

Very clean and great experience. The breakfast was great. Where can you get pasties in free breakfast! awesome. Thank you for a great coffee selection. Good job!

The place is awesome! Way off the beaten path in a beautiful area. Lakeview is awesome! We came to snowmobile and there was plenty of room to park our truck and trailer. Place is really nice and clean. Would definitely stay again.

Maria's house on Crooked Lake is wonderful. The views of the lake are unbeatable. Myself and 4 friends stayed the weekend to scope out Ice Fest. It was a bit of a trek to Marquette, but that didn't stop us. We were able to easily travel to Eben Ice Caves, Miner's Falls, Munising Falls, and all of the other Ice Fest climbing locations (The Curtains, Dryer Hose, The Amphitheater, etc...). All 5 of us were able to sleep comfortably throughout the house, and the kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast in the mornings and a nice stew for dinner. We are looking forward to coming back up for a stay in the summertime!

Shannon's house and Nahma are amazing, quiet, and comfortable. We'd love to stay again, next time we're in the U.P., I hope! Fayette Historic Park (nearby) and Nahma itself are just great.

This house was great for a trip to get away! It was in a nice, quiet location and only about 1 hour from a few different places we wanted to see in the U.P. There was no Cell Service at the house (Verizon), but you could drive a mile or so towards US-2 and get it, if you really need it. Thanks to Shannon!

Shannon and Bill were terrific hosts. They have obviously put a lot into their place to make it nice for the people who stay there. The house was clean, the kitchen beautiful and stocked with all sorts of extras, and bed comfy, and the television great. We loved the little town of Nahma too. It was peaceful and beautiful and just a 5 minute walk to Lake Michigan. Hiking trails were very close and Hiawatha National Forest was just minutes away. The gorgeous Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Park was a little further, about 40 to 45 minutes, but the drive there was stunning, complete with eagles!

-

This was a great place to stay for a family in the UP. The hour drive to Pictured Rocks was a very scenic drive through the forest. It was great staying in the small town and getting the small town up north feeling. The snacks at the house were a great touch! I would recommend this house to anyone visiting the UP!

A very good experience

Loved Shannon's place! Perfect place to stay when checking out the UP!

Hosts were very accommodating, went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met. Property was clean and well kept, quiet location near/ in the Hiawatha forest. We were in the area for work, couldn't have asked for better lodging. Definitely recommend this location.

Pamela was awesome and just like the other reviews, she had brought and left us in the frig homemade zucchini bread, fresh cantaloupe and blueberries from the local market. Wish we could've stayed longer, very clean and literally right on the river. Pamelas garden and Greg's yard sculptures are beautiful! Definitely made us feel at home, one of the many reasons I love the airbnbs, the people are amazing!

Pam and Greg were great hosts! The cabin was on private property bordering the national forest, and was on the bank of a pretty part of the sturgeon river. We found the cabin spacious and comfy. We enjoyed having some kids movies for the boys. Our dog felt at home too. There's not too much locally to see other than the forest and outside, but we enjoyed going to Fayette historic park,

My wife and I came up for a 4 night stay during the recent July heat wave. Pamela greeted us with a quick walk-thru, fresh fruit and homemade banana bread. She remained friendly, accessible, helpful, but unobtrusive throughout our stay. The kitchen is well-stocked, easy to use, and Pamela was true to her word - when we needed to borrow some tin foil. The firepit, firewood, and gas grill were all used nightly and greatly appreciated. I like to sleep with cooler temps, and was concerned that there was no a/c. But it wasn’t a problem, with open windows and fans, every night was quite comfortable and we slept very well. You are 7+ miles inside the Hiawatha National Forest, so it is very quiet. Flying bugs were noticeable, and prevalent if you were sweating, but manageable with bugspray. We couldn’t access the wi-fi during our stay, and chose to use our own cellular access rather than troubleshoot the issue. We only bring it up as the wi-fi access listing could create misleading expectations. The forest is full of great trails, both the Lake Superior and Lake Michigan coasts are filled with great little beaches. Kayaking Pictured Rocks was memorable. Everything was far enough to need the car. Bicycles were a tough ride, with the predominance of sand on the trails. But for a beautiful, quiet, active weekend away from the city and summer heat, this is a comfy forest cabin with a kind and gracious host we look forward to visiting again!

We had a great stay at the cabin! Pam and Greg were so welcoming. The cabin had everything we needed and the location was perfect for hiking and playing on the river! Thanks for such a relaxing weekend!

Nous avons adoré cette cabane! C'est usé, confortable et bien aménagé. Si vous avez besoin d'une lumière, cherchez et il en existe une. Besoin d'une bandeid? Il y a une trousse de premiers secours dans la salle de bain. Vous avez besoin d'un endroit pour poser des articles de toilette ou une serviette ou chercher une lumière de lecture? Il est sûr d'être tout ce dont vous avez besoin. Le confort et la réconfort de la cabane étaient accueillants. C'était propre, le bois était assez brillant. Le carreau de douche brillait. Une grande partie des meubles et des garnitures, des porte-serviettes, des porte-manteaux ont été faites à la main. Il y a une sculpture de 15 pieds de haut en dehors des oies de bois sculptées en migration. La rivière est encreux avec des tanins et la surface lisse en forme de gelée hypnotisante avec ses multitudes de petits tourbillons. Les bois sont bruyants avec des grenouilles la nuit. La propriété est idéalement située à 1 milles au nord d'une grande route. Il entoure la forêt nationale du nord, vous pouvez également traverser la route et vous retrouver sur un sentier avec accès à des kilomètres de sentiers dans plus de forêts nationales. Pas de voisins à proximité. Nous avons apprécié le pain à la banane, le bol de fruits et le jus d'orange que Pam a laissé pour nous. La cuisine était petite, simple et complète. Plats bleus et blancs. Nous avons aimé voir des panneaux solaires et une serre, et un hangar à outils. Les gens qui vivent dans la maison principale (à une centaine de mètres de la cabane) vivent près de la terre d'une manière authentique et authentique. C'était un week-end merveilleux et nous prévoyons de revenir. Deux choses: la location est la moitié avant de la cabine photographiée (personne n'était dans la moitié arrière quand nous étions là), et il y a 2 chambres, la première a un lit queen et un lit superposé. La deuxième chambre est sur un porche tout temps, qui est un peu plus frais que la cabine principale. Il y a un chauffe-eau. Mon fils l'a aimé car il était séparé de la cuisine / grande salle par des portes françaises et avait une vue magnifique dans les bois.

Pam waited for us with freshly baked bread, and provided also fruits and juice for breakfast. The cabin was exactly as pictured, few steps from the river bend. It is cozy, spacious and very nicely equipped, it can accommodate four. It is very quiet and peaceful. Pictured Rocks, Miner’s Falls, and the Big Spring are attractions that are easy to reach from the cabin by car and must see while at the UP. On the way there is a great hike called Bruno’s run starting at Moccasin Lake. Pam and Greg are extremely nice people. We really enjoyed staying at their place and hope to come again.

Pam and Greg met us on arrival with a quick tour of the cabin. The fireplace was set up with wood and ready to light. We had everything we needed. The cabin is so cozy. At night the stars were amazing. The sounds of river, wind through the trees, and the birds made this the perfect place to relax. Hoping to return.

Pam and Greg met us when we arrived and showed us around and made us feel welcome.

What a great place we'd stay again.

The house is stunning sitting right on a lake. James and Lois were very helpful. They gave very detailed directions for arrival and were always available for questions or to help get you settled. They even offered to bring out their kayaks for us to use in the lake out back! The place was very clean and very quiet. It's about 30 minutes from Munising where you can access Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. We would definitely stay again.

James guesthouse above his garage is like a country style luxury cabin. My fiancè and I wanted to do something more rural then a hotel when going hiking at pictured rocks. The area was quite large to my surprise. A restaurant and goods store minutes away which is convient. My family snowmobiles a lot, I see myself coming back because there were trails all around us. James has a signal booster at his home so even though you're rural you can still make calls/text depending on your carrier. Wi-fi was offered as well.

I didn't stay at James' place in the end as was at a wedding and stayed nearer the venue. Jim was super flexible and communicated really well through the process however and I hope to make it back to stay.

My partner and I had an absolutely wonderful time staying at the Seaburys' beautiful home. Jim went out of his way to accommodate us after a miscommunication around our booking. Although their typical room was already booked, he and his wife offered us a private room in a wing of their home usually reserved for family and friends. We enjoyed every minute of our stay in their beautiful home on the lake and hope to come back and enjoy it again this summer. Gracious hosts, great conversation, and even had ginger ale on hand when I had a rough night plagued by food poisoning. Highly recommend staying here, do be aware the roads are snow covered for most of the winter. However if my 2004 Civic can make it up the hills with some coaxing, I wouldn't worry about it. We hope to be back!

The host canceled this reservation 61 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Our stay was amazing for the most part, on the last day there was an issue with the agreement of our length of stay; at the end the host found a solution and resolved the matter. The location is beautiful and the property is beautiful, all the amenities we needed were provided.

We had a good time at the house. The star view at night was great. Last time I was able to view so many stars without light pollution was when I was little. My husband enjoyed fishing at the lake a lot. Got his first pike in life and it was pretty exciting for him.

We absolutely loved our stay! The house has everything you need and more to welcome you and make your time spent as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. There are plenty of games, puzzles and books. The view of the lake and access are both amazing. The sandy lake floor and calmness of the water made it a pleasure to paddle board around on and easy on our dogs paws, as we couldn't keep them out of the water they loved it so much! Enjoy your stay as truly stated...heaven on a lake. The beds are cozy and Beau was great to deal with. We are looking forward to making this a yearly tradition destination. Enjoyed every second spent here!

It was amazing staying in the National Forest! Beau does a great job with extra amenities! Kids loved the kayak, row boat, and canoe. Also, they loved just setting off to float in the rafts. Campfires every night and we played Truth or Confession while eating Smore's. Wish we dedicated at least one day to lounging around the house but we had a week to pack in all we wanted to see in the UP, so daily excursions it was. Someone blessed us with dry wood in Musky's Jacks so we got a couple extra bundles to pay it forward. Enjoy the domesticated chipmunks, they will literally climb up in your hands and on your chest. A very functional, well-balanced place to relax.

As usual just an amazing place to be, beautiful and secluded location. The lake is gorgeous as always & the fish are biting

Beau was great! The house is definitely remote, but we loved it!!! Easy drive to Munising.

The most amazing place in UP just as the name says it, the place is so quite & peaceful its like the end of the world. House was clean & well maintained. Close to so many amazing trials, lakes & falls. Thanks for letting us stay at yr place.

Heaven on the Lake was a great place to stay! The lake is gorgeous and the house feels very secluded. We couldn't have had a better time!

Comfy spot on a beautiful lake! An up north lake home that was exactly as described. Deer, bald eagles, loons, lake access out the back door and a great bonfire spot! Central to many of the UPs popular destinations but also a wonderful place to plant yourself for a peaceful relaxing time on the property. Mark was a great commmunicator, very helpful and polite. Wonderful experience for us!

The host was so accommodating and really tried hard to make it nice for us (pulling out a hammock by the lake, getting the boat ready, readying the fire pit). The place was so cozy and really relaxing, definitely a treat to get out of the city.

C'est un endroit incroyable pour passer votre week-end et vous détendre. Mark est un très bon hôte et s'est occupé de tout ce dont vous avez besoin.

Mark stays on the property in his camper, so he is available most of the time for information. He immediately offered to help put air in our tire when it was low. He was excellent with our children and interacted with them. The house is cozy, beds were comfortable, and the view of the lake is amazing.

Unfortunately, we had a bad experience at this property. Mark was nice, however the space was awful. Spiders in the corners, dirty bathrooms and towels, completely outdated and deteriorating. Seems like many updates were made to outside, so it looks great. Inside needs a lot of TLC. Uncomfortable beds in one of the rooms...just dirty and smelled bad throughout. Lake and backyard seemed nice. Would avoid until updates are made.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans la maison de Mark , tranquille au bord du lac.Nous avons pu communiquer facilement avec Mark grace au wifi de la maison. Nous avons pu navigué sur le Lac avec le bateau a rame.

Une belle situation au milieu des bois et du lac.Mark est un hôte formidable. Idéal pour 4 personnes.

The location is tucked away down several gravel roads. We had to call Mark to verify directions. Once we arrived, Mark was very welcoming. The place was charming and comfortable. The lakeside setting was quiet and scenic. It met out needs as we were passing through. Thanks, Mark!

PROS The tucked away cottages are clean and comfortable with an excellent view and immediate access to the lake. Interestingly, I was able to walk out 400-500 feet(!) in the clear water in soft clean sand that was only up to my knees. This made for a cool experience as I felt like I was standing in the middle of the lake. The other noteworthy feature is the quiet! No ambient noises for 4 straight days? None. Is that even possible? I guess so! Just nature at its' finest. We did travel there in the off-season however and I can see this place being more "alive with noise" if other families were vacationing next to us. (The cabins are rather close together) Location to Natural Attractions: 1) Munising and Picture Rocks (which has to be seen to be believed) is about 55 minutes by car from here 2) Big Spring near Manistique is just over an hour ride and 3) Tequamenon Falls near Paradise is about the same distance. In other words, this location is nicely CENTERED for these attractions. CONS The CON is the telecommunications: 1) I had spotty to NO cell coverage even with Verizon, and my GF had NO SERVICE with T-Mobile. You must plan for this! To compound matters, the WIFI signal here is poor in cabin #1 so we didn't get any assistance from the offered WIFI. I guess it also needs to be said that the TV in cabin #1 is just 13" and an old tube TV that needs to warm up to use. TV and Internet here is not very enjoyable. The overall experience was well worth it (4/5) but you must plan accordingly for telecommunication blackouts. If R&R is your main goal and no need for the noise of the modern age, then you'll love it. Otherwise, you'll still love it but you must be prepared(URL HIDDEN)

This was our first experience using Airbnb. I am sold! Our hosts were informative, kind, and beyond gracious! The Resort was beyond our expectations. We had access to kayaks, canoes, fishing boats. It was both peaceful and entertaining. It was centrally located for all of the activities we had planned. We will be back and we recommend Lakeshore Resort to couples, families, or singles! It's perfect!!

We had a lovely stay here and especially enjoyed the coziness of the cabin and its view of the lake. Our hosts were around and ready to help with anything we needed, which was greatly appreciated!

Beautiful location! Quiet and peaceful. Good time

This is a special place with an outstanding view of the lake from the living room as well as proximity to water. It is extremely clean and cozy. I loved our stay there.

Lovely cottage on the lakefront, offered everything we needed! Will be coming back next summer! Thanks Ghe Ghe!
