Dave and Gina's home is very welcoming and has so many great details for comfort. There is a breezeway you enter to go ingo the home where we kept our bin of water toys and where the kayak and other boating paddles and lifejackets were, plus they provided some toys. It leads into a large landry area - bonus! Drop off any towels and suits from day trips to presque isle right there. Huge size washer and dryer! Soap and dryer sheets were there and dirty landry bins in master bath and by dryer. Kitchen is large and lots of seating and open to the family room. Plenty of kitchen tools, silverware and dishes. There was soap, trashbags, cleaning supples (if needed), spices, and a lighter for the firepit. Plenty for a party of 8. The seating area and pennisula open to the sliding door, which offers stunning views of the lake. Sun sets to the left and is very pretty. You can cook and not feel separated from your guests at all. A nice nook also where guests are welcomed with stuff for smores, popcorn and coffee pods/hot chocolate. The back deck is big with plenty of seating, and with plenty of trees you don't get too hot. Bedrooms werwereice size, BIG closets, tastefully decorated. Lots of extra blankets snd pillows available. Bathrooms were clean with everything needed. BIG fluffy towels! Beds were super comfy.Kayaks were so fun to paddle - little lake is quite large. Lots of woods, quiet and restful. Swim area is very shallow. Loved loved loved our stay!

Perfect lake house retreat
The property is the quintessential lake house on a pristine lake in MIchigan’s Upper Peninsula. It’s decorated nicely, maintained well, and had all the comforts of home, including a “welcome” array of snacks made in MI. The owners left no detail to chance for their guests so we could cook in their well-appointed kitchen, enjoy a class of wine on their perfect lakeside deck, stream some programs, and sleep comfortably. The lake home is an easy, short drive to get groceries or anything you might have forgotten to pack. Friendly and responsive hosts. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time at Little Lake. We pretty much had the lake to ourselves. We enjoyed kayaking, star gazing, campfire, playing games and doing puzzles. We took a few day trips to Munising, Marquette and Houghton. We appreciated the snacks from the hosts . The house and location were perfect!

Lovely lake home
We had a great stay on Little Lake. The home is quiet and clean with plenty of room for adults and kids. The lake is wonderful, clean and sandy. We loved having use of the kayaks and canoe. This place is close enough to fun and entertainment but feels very secluded and restful. Would highly recommend for families!

Wonderful place right on the lake
We had a wonderful time. The house looks to be recently renovated and is very cute and nicely decorated. The kitchen was stocked and there was even wood for the fire pit. They even provide marshmallows, chocolate & graham crackers to make smores! It was very clean, check in and out was easy, the house was centrally located, easy to find & right on the lake!. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful place to stay
The property was so nice! The kids had a blast swimming in the lake and loved using the longboard that was there. The house is beautiful, supplied with lots of kitchen utensils, and plenty of space for the 4 of us. We made a fire in the fire pit but didn’t stay outside long since mosquitoes were so bad.
Everything was perfect except the mosquitoes were plentiful! Lol.
We still had a very nice time and loved that it’s a private location…quiet, peaceful, and lovely.

Up north 2023
We spent 3 days and really enjoyed it. The house was immaculate. Well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. Looking out over the lake every morning was so relaxing.
Didn't have time for fishing as we were on a mission to see color changes. It was beautiful up north. Especially h58 highway between munising and grand maris. October 17 to 20. We hit the peak just right. Also had fun finding water falls and cool rocks. Couldn't ask for a better time. We definately would stay here again.

Nice lakefront
The somewhat remote location right on the lake is nice. It would be great for kids, with a small but mostly flat waterfront. The lake appears to have a sandy bottom, and at the end of the pier it was probably only a couple feet deep, so nice for younger kids. The deck has plenty of furniture for quite a few people.
The house was ok, note it is a manufactured or prefab home. The kitchen is a nice size and the living room furniture is newer. There is a nice tray of items for s'mores, and some treats, which is nice. Location is good for exploring, about an hour from Pictured Rocks. It’s between 2.5 hour drive to Porcupine Mountain and Copper Harbor.
On the other hand, there is deferred maintenance that needs to be done (burnt bulbs, including microwave which makes stovetop cooking a bit harder, towel holder coming off wall, broken stopper in sink, taped on tile trim in bath, horribly loud fan in bathroom, etc.). It would be nice to have a welcome binder as most places do, with info about location, local restaurants, wifi code (told to locate it on bottom of router), etc. just to make it more convenient for guests.

Great stay
We had a wonderful week at this lakeside cabin with our two children. The cabin was clean and well-appointed, and furnished with everything needed. The lake was beautiful and serene, and a great place to unwind. The location was perfect for taking side trips around the UP, such as to Marquette and Munising, and nearby hiking trails. Owners were very responsive and communicative throughout!
