Carole was extremely helpful during our stay. Beds and furniture were comfortable. Access to the trail was drawn on a chalkboard in the laundry room... very easy to follow. We made all of our meals and the kitchen had everything we needed! Garage was great for sleds. We hope to be back next winter! ##### Brittany G.

Aug 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### UP adventures This house comfortably accommodated our multi generational family vacation. It was close to the trails in the Hiawatha Forest for our off road adventures and close to the highway for our tourist adventures. The yard was large as was the fire pit with enough chairs for us all to gather. The indoor space was large and open allowing us plenty of room to visit and dine. The mudroom was a great place to drop our gear so we didn't bring the outdoors in. My favorite part was the large dining room table that allowed us all to dine and play games together.Overall we had a fantastic family vacation and would definitely rent here again. ##### Mary Jo K. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Melissa R. Jul 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 4th of July Pictured Rocks Weekend This house has a lot of room which was great for our multiple families meeting over the 4th weekend to visit Pictured Rocks. House is about about 15 mins outside of town but easy to find with a large private yard. There isn’t a grill as listed though. After a day of hiking we planned to grill burgers and hotdogs only to get back to the house and find there was no grill. Main Street Pizza in Munising is good though. ##### Melissa R.
