Quaint Home in a Great Central Location

Welcome to "The Little House." We are so excited to open our cute, cozy home to you. Our house offers all the comforts of home that will easily provide a great experience for couples and families. Our central Upper Peninsula location offers the ability to see anything and everything during your stay.

A day trip away from Munising, Marquette, Escanaba or Manistique- the possibilities are endless! Anglers' paradise-located just 5 minutes from Little Bay De Noc. Fish year-round in one of the most coveted locations in the area. ATV/Snowmobile trails are right around the corner with plenty of trailer parking available, and gas stations 2 miles down the road. If the busy days don't suit you, enjoy a bonfire under the stars and spend a relaxing night in.

Our fully stocked, immaculately clean home is vacation ready- it just needs you!

Great central access to many parks and activities

Quiet property located close to the intersection of main East/West and North/South highways. We arrived late on a very warm evening-- the AC was super efficient! Well-equipped kitchen.

Great location for us. The property was as described on the vrbo app. Check in process was simple. Very quiet location despite being on US41. We loved the bathroom and shower. We were not fans of the bed and pillows. We would stay here again.

Rapid River Quaint Home

My husband, myself & our dog stayed here for 6 nights & loved the house. It was centrally located to where we wanted to go & our dog loved the yard!! Every place we wanted to visit was within 45 to 90 minutes of the house. The owner responded to emails & texts quickly. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Cute House

The house is as described. There were only a few minor things, like the beds felt smaller than queen and the water has a strong sulfur smell, make sure to definitely bring your own drinking water. But over all was a nice place to stay and had plenty of room for the 4 of us with 2 boats. It's quiet and so close to a gas station and dollar general. She had everything that you really needed available to use.

This is a nice, clean, cute little house. I like that there were not close neighbors on either side so we had some privacy and our dog had some room to run.

Fabulous

Perfect little house not to far from town and restaurants. We were on our motorcycles short rock driveway was no problem at all. We communicated with Kelsey about the internet connection not working. She stopped over and fixed us up. Very pleasant girl. She gave us suggestions on what to go see and restaurants to try. We would definitely stay here again.

Short one night stay

Quaint little home just outside of town. We came in well after dark and the driveway is right next to “wrong” driveway and of course I turned too early and had to back our boat back out, in the pitch dark! All my fault but just be aware if arriving late. The only minor disappointment we had was we couldn’t find ann outdoor plug to charge our boat batteries. Just a heads up to others bringing their boats. Otherwise plenty of parking, clean home, great beds and we would return.

Great Rental House

My family and I stayed with our two dogs for four nights & 5 days. The house was wonderful, being centrally located for us to go to both Lake Michigan and Lake Superior while we were there. We were there over the 4th of July, and we watched the fireworks in nearby Gladstone. The property is quiet, with no seen neighbors, which was really nice. We were able to enjoy a campfire every night. It is on a hwy, but the traffic wasn't too noisy, and the house is set back a ways from the road. The yard is not fenced in, so if you have dogs, I would definitely keep them leashed for safety. We had an issue with not being able to turn the AC up, I text the owner on the 4th of July, not expecting it to be fixed right then, being it was a holiday, but it was fixed within 10 minutes of me texting her. Overall we were very impressed and happy with our entire stay. We would stay again and would highly recommend anyone to stay here.
