Whether you’re into pike, panfish, or bass fishing, this serene setting will keep you busy all day.

Tucked away in the woods, you’ll feel miles away from the hustle and bustle, yet you’re just a short drive from all the attractions. Tall Pines, our updated cabin, seamlessly blends modern amenities with the rustic charm of an up-north getaway.

Rustic vacation in National Forest

The cabin was everything we hoped; just secluded enough, clean, well stocked, comfortable and everthing was in working order. We especially enjoyed the deck and fishing off the dock. Host was responsive and friendly. We loved every minute of our stay.

Great Family Get Away

Great time with family. Well stocked. Britta was very responsive. One recommendation: maybe post the house signage a little lower so it’s readily visible. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay! Thanks Britta.

Wonderful cabin

Wonderful place to stay. Plenty of space for 6 people. Very clean. Britta has the cabin pretty well stocked with everything you need. Just bring your food and clothes. The owners are great to work with. Would definitely come back.

Excellent Family Vacation Spot

We thoroughly enjoyed this cabin and all the activities available for use. We fished on the pontoon, kayaked, canoed, and my kids loved jumping off the dock to swim in the lake. Property was very clean and owners were great to work with and responded quickly to any questions or concerns. We would definitely stay here again :)

Wonderful rustic cabin

Such a cute rustic cabin. Perfect location for visiting Munising and Pictured Rocks. We had a small kitchen sink leak and it was fixed within 30 minutes. Perfect stay. Make sure you bring plenty of bottled water because the water at the cabin is not great.

Serene Forest Setting

This cabin was exactly what we needed — a calm and quiet getaway in the woods with a beautiful view of the lake! It was close enough to stores/restaurants to get supplies when needed but felt very remote. We had a great time and would definitely return.

Perfect Lakeside Cabin

We had a wonderful time staying at the cabin. Everything was clean and comfortable. The cabin is surrounded by trees with lake access just outside the backdoor. You can see the neighbors, but everyone is quite and respectful. We would love to visit again!

Tom and Bretta were so kind and always available to help with any of our needs. Wonderful time. ONLY complaint is that it was to short. Can't wait to come back!

Family getaway

We loved staying at this cozy cabin! The hosts had many amenities available for us to use and kept the place well stocked. We loved using the fishing boat and kayaks but there were also canoes for use. The hammock and deck were great places to rest and relax outside! They had wood on the property for us to use (for a small fee) which made having a bon fire easy and convenient. The bugs were not bad during our stay but I did see they had a screened in tent for use also in the sauna room, they really thought of it all!

Quiet Retreat

A quiet retreat quite off the beaten path, yet centrally located to popular sights (Kitch-iti-kipi, Fayette State Park, Pictured Rocks, waterfalls, NCT for hiking, etc.). Having the lake right out the back door was wonderful!! We made all our meals at the cabin and had everything we needed. Wifi worked great for those who need that. A trip to Grand Marais to find yooper lights was fun. (It's "out there" but so many good sights if you drive there from Munising through pictured rocks area.) Hope to stay here again someday! Thank you!

Amazing, quiet lakefront getaway

Our family is already missing the peaceful atmosphere of Tall Pines. We had a great time using the kayaks and canoe, having campfires in the cool MI evenings all while being 30 minutes from Munising and nearby Pictured Rocks National Seashore. Britta has thought of everything—beach towels, toiletries, firewood, basic kitchen essentials (sandwich bags, foil, etc,). The cabin was perfect for our family of five. It was extremely clean, comfortable beds, and new bedding. We all highly recommend Tall Pines!

So quiet and relaxing

While we did not have the best weather as it rained a good portion of the time we stayed, this was the perfect place for it. It was so relaxing and beautiful that we were able to sit in the chairs by the window and read or sit at the table and play games while enjoying the beauty of the rain and fog over the lake. My son loved the loft area and hanging out there, like his own little getaway. It was quiet and away from everything, yet the General Store with the friendliest staff was just 15 minutes away. The sauna house was a fun little adventure that provided entertainment of warmth followed by a little olunge into the lake in the rain - a fun experience us city folk don’t have often :) if you’re looking for a quiet, cozy little escape, this is a fantastic option!

Nicks bday

It was nice that the property was dog friendly, first time getting to bring our dog on vacation. It was frustrating not having the WiFi password until later in to the trip since we had no service but we eventually got it. I also thought there would be a pontoon available due to pictures posted but that wasn’t the case. There were other water activities included which was nice though.

Cute cabin

The property sits right on the lake as described tucked back in the woods. It was very clean! Britta thought of everything, she had bug spray, first aid kit, extra blankets, fans, games, etc. Anytime i thought i needed something, there it was! The kids had a blast fishing off the dock and on the pontoon. Britta was excellent to communicate with. She responded quickly to all my questions before and after booking. Great for a little family getaway.
