Very nice, well appointed, secluded & private cabin. Was very roomy and the master bedroom was huge. Would definately stay here again and will try to get in the future.
It was an excellent place to use as home base for our family of 2 adults, 2 teens, and a bonus teen exchange student! One spacious king size master and one queen size bedroom upstairs with ac units and a full bath upstairs. Downstairs was another bedroom with two twin beds and another full bathroom. Also downstairs included kitchen with full appliances (including coffee maker and microwave), spacious dining area for eating and for board games, cozy living room with couch, armchair, and tv (and small coffee table that can be moved out of the way if you need to get a morning Pilates workout in!), and a laundry room with washer and dryer. Outside areas included front patio chairs, upper balcony lookout, and a backyard firepit - and a trail we didnât end up getting to since we already did so much hiking this trip to waterfalls in the area! Adequate dishes (could use a few more tupperwares for leftovers), plenty of spare linens and towels, good toilet paper - and they even left a couple of frozen pizzas for our first night there so we didnât have to scrounge for dinner after a long drive! No ac downstairs but the windows and cool tile actually kept downstairs pretty cool most of the timeâwe only needed the upstairs on a couple days where it got to 78. Not far from Munising, where we did our grocery shopping and some of our activities (like the sunset Pictured Rocks cruise) started off. This gets a 10 out of 10 from me and I would definitely stay here again!
Cabin is just the right size fr a small family vacation! Hosts were amazing! My only complaint is that it didnât have air conditioning n the main floor. Room air conditioning units upstairsâŠ
This location was great for our snowmobile trip, trail and accommodations where close .host was helpful when asked of anything.property was kept up and clean. We will be back next time to the area
Booked the property and Dennis and Diane messaged me shortly after introducing themselves. This was the first weekend after the warm spell in the UP 2024/2025. We were nervous about snow totals and trail conditions but Dennis assured us everything will be okay and gave us updates by the day which was really nice reassurance for our trip. Access to the trail was amazing and the property was in the absolute perfect spot to ride on that side of the UP. Plenty of places to park trucks and trailers and plenty of room to turn around a pickup truck and a 25 ft trailer. The house was very clean, cozy, and spacious. They even provided pizzas and a case of water for us which is very thoughtful. We had 6 guys in our group and there was still plenty of room for more if you bring an air matress or two. We will be coming here every single time we ride this way in the UP. Thank you for providing such an amazing spot for any kind of UP activities!
We had the best time together up in the UP, And we were able to spend our evenings at the house, which was just magical!! The stars up there are out of this world !
Thank you so much for hosting us once again, we absolutely look forward to coming back up in the future!
10 out of 10. Communication throughout our booking was exceptional. The cabin was immaculate and charming. Itâs perfectly located for all our adventuring. We cant wait to return!!!
My wife and daughter stayed here for 3 days and loved the property. Hosts are extremely hospitable and even provided a frozen pizza for them upon arrival. Not all hosts are so thoughtful. Property was stocked with everything they needed for the stay. My wife has stayed at several properties and this one by far was one of the top ones she stayed at with respect to what the property provided, cleanliness, layout and everything working in the property. We will definitely look to book here again in the event we are in back in the area. Can't say enough how great this property is.
Welcoming. We were very close to all the activities we needed to get to and still had a peaceful place to unwind. Especially loved the fire pit and the ripening blackberries we found. I can imagine how perfect the property is for winter fun!
Thank you, Dennis and Diane! The Island Pond Lodge was the perfect home away from home. Spacious, spotless, welcoming, well stocked, with close access to Munising, we looked forward to relaxing when returning from a long day of sightseeing. Our daughters loved the chance to fish, roast s'mores at the fire pit, and view the milky way from the front yard. The parents appreciated being able to put the kids to bed and still enjoy some visiting time!
This place was one of the best stays weâve ever had! So grateful for having wonderful owners that were very communicative
We will definitely be staying here again soon! Thanks for having us :)
Our stay at Pond Island Lodge was great. Close to all the surrounding communities, clean and everything you might need. We loved the snacks, water and pizza in the freezer upon arrival. No need to run to the store if arriving late. Finding the location was a little difficult in the day time so I would recommend arriving in daylight. It is tucked back off the road. We had a link for the address but cell service might be spotty. Have that handy incase. Overall it was delightful and we'd rent again. Thank you!
If we could give more than 5 stars, we would! Very nice property, fully furnished, and the owners even provided pizza, a bunch of snacks and bottled water. Even though our bonfire plans were rained out, we had a great experience. Love the communication!
Great quiet location. Property was really clean and spacious. My son and I went snowmobiling for the weekend and we will definitely be back here. The property is really close to the trails and restaurants. The host Dennis was great and really helpful with information about the area and made the trip great!
This house was very clean and easy to get to. Owner was very communicative and available if needed. Check in/Check out process was very easy and hassle free. Many items were there as a convenience for us to use. Hosts are very accommodating to their guests!! We will definitely be staying here again when we come up. Loved the solitude of the house and the openness. Fire pit at night was great, as well as sitting on the balcony to star gaze! Wonderful house!
The four of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We appreciated the personal touches such as snacks. The artwork was beautiful. The hosts were welcoming and quick to respond to any questions. We would love to return if we are in the area.
Beautiful home inside and out!! Was the perfect location to stay and enjoy exploring pictured rocks! The hosts went above and beyond providing extras like snacks, waters, and firewood just to name a few. We loved how peaceful and cozy it was and enjoyed walking down to see the fish at the pond. The hosts are also very quick and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend this place and we hope to stay again next time we visit the area!
This house has a quiet location and was an oasis after a long day. It was house was spacious and clean. The owners were polite and responsive. We were welcomed with cold waters, frozen pizzas, and lots of snacks on the kitchen counter, which were a nice treat and very much appreciated. The owners seemed to go out of their way to make their guests feel welcomed. If you are looking for a quiet, rustic location, you wouldnât be able to find a better spot than this. There was a fire pit available for use, although we didnât use, it was a nice feature. Thanks for your hospitality!
My wife and I are retired Air Force, living our best lives in the UP. We help raise our granddaughter but still find time to enjoy the outdoors with our family.
