This property exceeded our expectations. The lake views are incredible. It was a beach, forest, snowy stay all rolled into one trip. She loved sledding down the sand dunes and building a snowman. The isolation allowed for the most wonderful night skies. I’ve never seen so many stars in my life. The Christmas decorations were a very thoughtful touch. We were close enough for day trips to Tahquamanon Falls, Big Spring, rock hunting at Lake Superior, and Benny the Beard Fisher. The cottage had everything we could need on the days we wanted to relax and enjoy views. I’m sure that we will return! ##### Holly D. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Amy S.

You would be hard pressed to find a better beach in the greater area. The kids could swim for 100+ yards, yet still stand without issue on a clean sand bottom. The waves lulled us to sleep multiple nights, while other nights were super serene and peaceful. Epic sunsets. Fantastic base camp spot for our day trips to Pictured Rocks, Mackinac Island, and Kitch-iti-Kipi. It was very convenient to have a short drive to Manistique for groceries and essentials, while also having a tranquil location far from the major highway. The house was clean and well appointed. We spent the vast majority of our time on the beach, so the overall lack of charm and religious decor mattered not. The new boardwalk to the beach made it easy for the kids to run into the water the moment we arrived. The beach felt unbelievably vast and private. I only encountered one other person throughout our 5-night stay. I only had to call once for a (first world) problem with the hot tub. The caretaker answered the moment I called and helped us remedy the situation. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Made some beautiful memories with loved ones. Thank you! ##### Phillip T.
