Peaceful Retreat

This cabin on Lake Monocle was perfect for our family of 5. It is nestled in the trees on a small, quiet lake with a stunning view. My teenage son loved having the bunkhouse to himself and also enjoyed using the sauna and paddleboard. My toddler loved swinging in the hammock. My husband and I enjoyed taking the canoe across the lake. All 5 of us loved hanging out on the spacious porch, cooking meals on the Blackstone grill, and walking down to a spectacular Lake Superior beach. This place is a treasure!

Great Up north getaway

My family and brothers family with our mom stayed at this lovely cabin on Monocle lake. We had 5 kids, 5 and under. The home was extremely clean. Fully stocked kitchen and linens. Ali was extremely responsive and communicative. The bunkhouse was close to main house and perfect for kids. We enjoyed the lake and canoe while the fall colors were at peak. The deck and sauna was a favorite as well. Great property for an up north getaway.

Lovely Lake Cottage, perfect for family vacation

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage so much. The lake was absolutely beautiful, quiet and relaxing. We all took advantage of the canoe and paddle boards and had so much fun swimming in the lake. The back porch was so great for sitting and talking and the view from the house was just beautiful. There was a nice grill and fire table. The bunk house was great for watching TV and for the kids to have their own little space. The sauna was a great amenity that we also loved. I would rent this place again in a heartbeat. We enjoyed it so much.

Much Needed Respite

This was the perfect spot for our family getaway. A much needed respite from the summer heat, we were able to gather together and enjoy each other’s company inside and out - including the deck with a gas fireplace and the dock. I’m not sure there were many features that we didn’t take advantage of, and it was simply lovely!

About the host

Hosted by Alison Crawford

Our family was lucky enough to grow up in the eastern U.P. We moved away to go to college and then lived in the Carolinas for 18 years. After starting a family, we moved to Wausau, WI 10 years ago. Three years ago, we had the opportunity to purchase this lakefront home and jumped on it. We come to the cabin as often as possible with our two teenagers. Our family loves spending time here so much in the summers that we decided to share this paradise with other families.

Why they chose this property

We have something for everyone here. Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast looking for adventure or hoping to enjoy quiet summer days reading a book on our large lake front deck, our place is for you. We are a central hub to numerous Upper Peninsula attractions while offering a quiet solitude in the evenings.

What makes this property unique

Our home's outdoor deck sprawls the entire length of the home. This offers a tremendous amount of area to enjoy the lake during hot summer days or cool evenings. Only half of Monocle lake has homes while the other half is adjacent to Hiawatha National Forest. This means unobstructed views of nature 24/7. We enjoy morning coffee listening to the loons, playing on the lake during the day, an evening sunset stroll on Lake Superior after dinner followed up by a lakefront bonfire in the evening. It doesn't get better than this!
