Peak Fall Views - Peaceful Cabin on the Escanaba River

Peak Fall Views - Peaceful Cabin on the Escanaba River

10/10 Excellent
"This cabin (home) on the Escanaba River was every bit as clean and comfortable as represented. The view of the river and the sound of the river rushing by as seen and heard from the deck is unimaginably beautiful. In addition to an immature eagle, we saw deer wading in the river each morning. One night I stayed up late and while being mesmerized by the sound of the river I heard owls, two groups of coyotes across the river and later, a lone WOLF off in the distance on our side of the river (I’ve heard wolves before on several trips to Isle Royale National Park and it was likely a wolf).Checking in was uncomplicated and the host, Kari was pleasant, helpful and always quick to respond to messages or phone calls. Without hesitation I give this place my strongest recommendation. 8/20/2026 Monty and Nicole"
