Cute little cabin

This property worked well for us as a home base for Paradise. The fans provided were a big help in keeping the cabin cool as there's no AC. Be weary of using the oven/stove as it makes the entire place smell like gas

The deck is the essential feature

The listing was as described - rustic. The deck overlooking Whitefish Bay is outstanding. We enjoyed its use morning and evening. The location of the cabin was perfect for our explorations to Tahquamenon Falls and Crisp Point Lighthouse. We also had a wonderful dinner at The Inn. The property manager was very responsive to our needs and loaned us her box fan when we accidentally broke the one at the cabin. The shower had almost no water pressure. A ceiling fan would be a huge benefit for the bedroom. Note that there are cottages close by on either side, and the bedroom faces a well-traveled road. We definitely enjoyed our stay, reminiscent of childhood rustic cabin experiences.

A stay at Uncle Tom's Cabin

It's an awsome authentic rustic log cabin. #1 of the cons was the queen size was stuffed into a little room with 6 inches maybe on each side maneuver around the bed. The bed was very comfortable. #2 and not the property's fault. We over looked there is no A/C. We were up there during 85°F day and 70°F night. The fans just moved hot air around. #3 little bathroom and little shower stall with low water pressure #4 the placement of the dumpster was a bit aromatic at times. #5 I understand saving the shoreline and the large rocks are needed. Done complaining! PROS. The place needs some attention but it was really nice. The logs, the ceiling beams, the paint job, the log windows, the log cabinetry, the exposed tube and knob wiring all adds to the ambience. Roku on the TV was nice and they pulled no punches informing guests from the start the internet is sketchy. For us all the appliances worked. Water was hot and controllable. The deck above the lake to watch a sunrise, to look over the lake, to listen to the lake and the wildlife. To have an adult beverage and a deep conversation or sit quietly. We used it as home base for running around sight seeing. We did have a great stay.

We have stayed at this cabin three times, and each time the cabin feels more like home. It’s clean and comfortable and close to everything we want to see and do.

Super cozy and clean

The overall experience was awesome. The cabin is very clean, spacious, and cozy. The view is amazing. The only thing I will mention, is that there are a series of three cabins to the right. There is a sign that says “cove”, with an arrow pointing towards the little beach in front of this cabin, and there were a few people staying in those cabins who misconstrued it as a place where they could set up chairs and hang out there. There were children walking dogs and roaming around in the yard… I did contact the caretaker (Jeff) and he took care of the situation. Luckily those people left the next day… and luckily we had awesome neighbors in the cabin that was directly next to us. All in all it was a very nice, quiet, relaxing experience and I would stay there again.

Poorly stocked, beautiful view, rustic cabin

We did not deal with the property manager, Becky. Only the local gentleman who handles any repairs. He was trying to fix the screen door that was torn off due to a storm the night prior. The cabin was poorly stocked (coffee, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags), and we had to go to him for everything. He even made sure we had clean bedding. He handles other properties in that area as well and seemed a little overwhelmed. I know the owner lives in another state, so not sure who's supposed to do the stocking/cleaning. I assumed Becky and he's the handy man. Assuming from the description and contact information, they have listed for them on the fridge

Nice cabin

Its a nice little cabin right on the water, the parking space is pretty small but doable. It is definitely a cabin, internet is very spotty which they warn of. We basically just spent the night there and were not there during the day so it worked well for us.

Watwrfront

The waterfront area I’m front of the red deck was being used by a bunch of kids from the cabins next door. Threw the. Left their belongings. No parents around so we were not able to use the waterfront area. Disappointed as I thought we had waterfront access. The cabin was well cleaned but it smelled of sewer and propane gas. I tried to text both the property manager and local contact to ask if the waterfront was shared access and neither of the texts went throughput

Awesome getaway!

The cabin was perfect for us. My boyfriend really enjoyed Lake Superior waterfront and thought the cottage was cute. We were very pleased with our stay. When we arrived the refrigerator wasn't working properly and we called, Jeff, the maintenance guy and he was over right away and problem solved. He was very friendly and attentive to making sure we were good. The cottage had everything you needed. The shower was good and the bed was comfortable. The location is excellent being close to Whitefish Point and Taqwamenon Falls. We even made it to Sault St. Marie and took the scenic route. Absolutely beautiful! We both loved our stay and we will definitely book again. We had a wonderful time!

Location is perfect for what we wanted

Rustic it stated online, rustic it is. decor is rustic with local artists work. nice view of Lake superior. Necessities were all there. View from the deck was great, The deck chairs need an upgrade NOW.The INN Gastropub was close and well staffed and served great food. Food trucks offering fare from fresh Lake Superior whitefish to Mexican and Italian are nearby. visited Tahquamenon falls, Whitefish point Lighthouse and the Crisp point lighthouse while there. Caught the Iroquois light station on the way out all less than 40 miles from cabin,

Paradise, MI Vacation

My partner and I had a delightful stay in this charming, snug cabin, and to encapsulate our experience, it was truly remarkable. We had very few desires other than slightly improved weather conditions. Nevertheless, the cabin itself provided a picturesque escape. The only aspect worth mentioning is the insufficient representation and quality of images in the listing. We anticipated a more secluded woodland setting, but the photos failed to convey that neighboring cabins were visible on both sides. Apart from this minor setback, our time there was exceptional. We extend our gratitude to Rebekah for her outstanding hospitality.

This place was quiet and had everything that we needed and then some. It was a bit cloudy and storming on the days we were there so we missed on the sunrise but the patio out back is perfect for relaxing in the evenings.

Rustic, but beautiful views!

If you’re looking for rustic cabin, but loaded with everything you need this is the place. The deck view is a beautiful place for morning coffee or an evening spirit. We had our kids (6 & 7) in tow. The shoreline isn’t great for swimming because of the rocks, but there is a sandy spot to play. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed (towels, kitchen stuff for cooking, etc). Only complaint: the listing says “sleeps 5”. This is not accurate. The one bedroom has 2 beds (full size and a twin). I’m glad a I messaged the owner prior to arriving because I figured the couch pulled out into a bed. It doesn’t. So, we brought an air mattress, which worked fine. It is also not as private as the pictures show. There are close neighbors on both sides. Overall a great experience in Paradise!

Cute Rustic Cabin

This is a very cute cabin. It had everything we needed in the kitchen and outside (1 gas grill, 1 charcoal, picnic table). Some things were lacking...1. The bedroom had a twin and a queen. No more pull out sofa. 2. The front door is unlocked by the key. This key is also the doorknob. It was difficult with my young kids. 3. Could use some sort of deadbolt on the inside of the cabin since the key is always attached on the outside. 4. There should be some sort of manual on how to start the heater and the stove. If we didnt know what we were doing it could have ended badly. All in all though, we loved our vacation there! More importantly my kids loved the vacation there! Very peaceful and gets you back to being connected as a family!
