Vacation home in Hancock
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 114 reviewsLakefront home, Hot tub, near McLain State Park
The cabin on the lake is exactly how it looks in the pictures and has AMAZING views! My wife and I were able to see the northern lights and take some beautiful pictures while staying here. The cabin was extremely clean and smelled fresh. They have a few flies and gnats but that’s hard to get away from when your house is set near the woods and on the lake so nothing at all disturbing about that. All of the furniture was very comfortable and cozy and they have a nice book with photos and instructions on how to get to area attractions and restaurants. Definitely enjoyed our stay and we look forward to going back next year!
Cabin in Eagle Harbor Township
5 out of 5 average rating, 170 reviewsWalden
It really is the perfect getaway for two. It was peaceful and relaxing. The cabin was clean, cozy and had everything we needed. Breathtaking views were a short walk from the cabin. It was the perfect honeymoon getaway. We can't wait to go back.
Cabin in Grand Marais
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 144 reviewsTranquilo at Agua Norte: Lake Superior View+Sauna
Our stay at Agua Norte was outstanding! The cabin was spotless (I mean perfect!!), cozy, and inviting. The property was private and beautiful — we gazed upon the northern lights at night and fiery sunrises in the morning, all with an uninterrupted view of the lake. The location was a quick drive to nearby hikes and the center of Grand Marais. Our family rented out all three cabins on the property and enjoyed walking the land, using the sauna, and congregating at the fire pit. Check in was effortless, and Simone was kind and communicative throughout our planning and stay. It is evident that thoughtful, high-quality work has gone into developing Agua Norte, as well as a lot of heart. We’ve already made plans to visit again next year!
Cabin in Ocqueoc
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 142 reviewsCozy A-Frame Cabin on the shores of Lake Huron
Came up for a few days to celebrate my birthday and unwind after a hectic summer. Our stress immediately washed away the minute we stepped foot on the property. The site and cabin are stunning. The photos are great and accurate, but it's so much more wonderful in person. Shasta and Chris did not skimp on anything here -- linens, decor, towels, books, games, movies, EVERYTHING you could need, and all of it top-notch. We had fun exploring local parks and trails, but would have been completely content never leaving the cabin. 5 stars is not enough. Can't wait to come back! Whiskey Pines is good for the soul.
Cabin in East Jordan
5 out of 5 average rating, 148 reviewsCheerful Six Mile Lake Log Cabin.
This cute cabin was just as it was described--only better because the hosts included so many niceties that were pleasant surprises! How wonderful to have a few snacks, some wine, and shower bombs to make our stay even nicer! Everything was clean and welcoming and thoughtful. Even the outdoor furniture was better than your average firepit furniture. The property was beautiful (and we were lucky enough be be there on a perfect weather and color day for October). Only think of note is that it is a softer mattress, but we understand there is not a great way to keep everyone happy in this regard, since everyone likes this differently.

We had such a great time staying in Casandra’s cottage! It was truly perfect for our little family! Had so many little touches that made it so much easier when traveling with someone under the age of 2! We would absolutely love to come back!
Cottage in Gaylord
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 336 reviewsCozy Cottage on the Lake.
This is our 4th stay at Sherri’s cottage, we love it there! We have now stayed once in each season! This time we were looking for fall colors, they were just starting to turn. Just beautiful around the lake. I feel right at home in the cottage. It’s so comfortable, clean, and the view off the deck is beautiful in any season. Everything you need is there, definite attention to detail. We’ll go back in November, looking forward to it!
Cabin in Iron Mountain
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 151 reviewsSpring Lake Cabin
We really enjoyed our stay! Loved the cottage and the Lake. We made good use of the paddle boat, the fire pit and the fireplace. The fall colors were gorgeous- reflecting in the lake at sunrise and sunset and the privacy and peacefulness of the area was just what we needed. Ian was super responsive and helpful. we would love to come back!!

The Bakery Bungalow far exceeded our expectations. Even more warm and beautiful in person. Countless things that made us think-WOW itś like she knows us and created a space that we would quickly fall in love with. Itś as if a very talented interior designer, exquisite baker, and nature lover created a dream getaway smack dab in the middle of all things heavenly. We were immediately smitten with the Bakery Bungalow and plan to come back time and time again. Bravo JerriAnne and Gary, and thank you for providing us the privilege of staying in your home. We could not be more grateful. Truly impeccable in every way.

We stayed at the Lily Pad Cottage and it was amazing. Right on Lake Michigan with a view of the sunrise. Great outdoor space for sitting on the deck looking a the lake and a nicely landscaped fire pit area. The inside was perfect for the 2 of us, it is small but space used very well. Everything was clean and provided as indicated in the description. Bed was comfy and cozy. We enjoyed the chairs inside that you could turn to the bay window and get a great view of the bay. We would definitely stay here again!

Great vibes walking into their home. Nice hot water for shower. Always something to find on the walls. A little musty smelling, but could imagine how hard it is to dust the place. You gotta like the aroma of incense.
Home in Calumet Township
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 261 reviewsSafe Travels
My husband and I came for a week's stay at Rob's place with our dog, Mac! The neighborhood was so quiet and peaceful. We loved the big back yard and our morning walks through the neighborhood. The location was in a PERFECT location for our trips to nearby Copper Harbor, Calumet, Houghton, and the amazing sites in between! From our first steps into the place, we were also VERY impressed with how clean the place was, and how Rob had provided so many things for our stay. It was great having a washer and drier on site too! Rob was quick to respond any time I reached out. He made us feel so welcome! We are already making plans for a return stay next year! Thanks, Rob!

Great rental in the woods with spectacular view of Lake Superior. The home is well supplied with all the cooking & bath essentials. Plenty of pantry space for all our goods. Leave your bottled water at home, the tap water is filtered & delicious. Pizza oven worked great. Double oven came in handy. The wood pellet fire pit on the deck was enjoyable. Lots of games & books to choose from.

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 201 reviewsFamily/Pet Friendly UP North Getaway Lake Adjacent
Matthew's place was great; lots of room, pristine cleanliness, close to parks to walk, every kitchen utensil you could want. We took our dog and he had dishes and toys for her. Normally, that's the guests responsibility. The location felt very safe. We walked our dog every night after dark. The bed was comfortable and the shower felt so good after our day of long hikes. I really appreciated the "House Rules" book. I like to know how our host wants us to take care of things and what his preferences are for checking out. This is a house that makes you feel right at home.

Your guide to Upper Peninsula of Michigan
All About Upper Peninsula of Michigan
The Upper Peninsula can feel a little like the Wild West of the Midwest: scenic, rugged, remote, a place that takes determination to live in year-round and inspires awe in visitors. The 300-mile-long peninsula, whose triangular shape is framed by Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, and Lake Huron, is one of those regions that rewards long stays and excursions outdoors — both the warm-weather kind (hunting, hiking) and winter sports. From the Porcupine Mountains, near the Wisconsin border, to Sault Ste. Marie just over the water from Canada, the UP promises rocky coastlines, lush waterfalls, and old-growth forests. The 300,000 Yoopers who live here year-round extend a good-natured Midwestern welcome to those traveling through.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Upper Peninsula of Michigan
Located to the north of Wisconsin, with boundaries defined by two Great Lakes, the Upper Peninsula is no tropical destination. After a glorious, crisp fall, the snow begins falling in October and doesn't stop for six months. Don’t stint on packing winter wear, good boots, and possibly snowshoes in case you have car trouble. Spring rushes through the region in April and May, then yields to a glorious few months from June through August, where the temperatures hang in the 70s Fahrenheit and occasionally slip higher. Bring shorts and swimwear for the daytime, and light long-sleeve shirts and pants for the evening — black flies and mosquitos can be a nuisance.
Top things to do in Upper Peninsula of Michigan
Tahquamenon Falls State Park
This 50,000-acre state park in the east of the UP is densely covered in trees and home to one of the largest waterfalls in the United States, with a spectacular 50-foot drop. A four-mile hike through maples and beeches brings you to a second set of cascades; the park makes off-road track chairs available for wheelchair users to explore both falls.
Sault Ste. Marie
When the Soo Locks connecting Lakes Superior and Huron opened in 1855, wealth and industry came to the Upper Midwest. It’s still hypnotic to watch the massive ships traveling between the Atlantic and Minnesota rise and descend. The town itself is a pleasure to meander around, too, with a lively dining and arts scene.
Marquette
Marquette, the largest city on the peninsula, combines the charm of a college town with unparalleled access to Lake Superior and the surrounding wildlife. Miles of mountain bike trails wind around the outskirts of the city. The Marquette Maritime Museum and the Marquette Harbor Lighthouse, open during the summer months, display the fascinating history of sea travel on the world’s biggest freshwater lake.
Keweenaw Peninsula
Old mining towns dot this remote peninsula-on-a-peninsula in the western third of the region; the Cornish pasties miners introduced to Michigan are the most obvious remnant of the once-thriving industry. The town of Copper Harbor is a good base for your explorations, whether they include staying on the shore to see the Northern Lights or hiking the trails of Fort Wilkins Historic State Park.
