Wonderful Stay!

We had a great stay! Particularly loved the huge and comfy living room with great views of the lake along with a large television, which provided for a fun family movie night! We also had a lot of fun hiking at the Days River Nature Trail, which is just 1.8 miles from the cabin.

Malabar Cove was a great place. Very spacious and comfortable. The view of the bay was amazing and our nightly four legged visitors were fun to watch. Lisa was very helpful with an internet issue and resolved the problem quickly. We would recommend this property.

Relaxing lake life week

Wonderful property. Close enough to anything we'd need in Escanaba and still felt "away from it all" during our stay. Check in was simple and easy, and while the host was always only a text or phone call away, we found ourselves wanting for nothing. Such a great stay.
