Lakeview getaway
It's nice tucked away and very quiet place to stay. Clean and newly redone it appears. Great for a peaceful getaway or kayaking and seeing local upper peninsula sites.

Great stay, beautiful property, and fun lake!
We had a great relaxing stay here--the lake was beautiful, the dock was so nice. The kayaks were a huge hit (but bring life jackets!) and the house was perfect. My kids really loved the fireplace and the TV with streaming services too. Games on the table was a wonderful extra touch. Would highly recommend!

Exceptional lake side home and hosts .
Our experience couldn't have been better. No hassle check in, beautiful clean home, super comfortable beds, modern appliances and a superb view of lake. Trees screening the borders of the property provide privacy, The wrap-around deck provide lots of room for lake watching and having an on site laundry is a great convenience. We did laundry while we played pool. The village of Curtis is picturesque and friendly,the locally owned stores provide most essentials and a Dollar General is a mile and a half away. It would be hard to find a better U.P. getaway or more accommodating hosts.
