Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Near Munising and close to Pictured Rocks, Lake Superior, Casino and More!

This cottage is located 2 blocks from M28 and the Casino in Christmas MI. Public beach is within a mile and Pictured Rocks is only a 10 minute drive. There are two bedrooms (both Queen beds) and two full bathrooms. The couch does fold out for additional sleeping. One bathroom is a nice full sized master bath, and the other bathroom is small, it has a bathtub/shower, toilet and sink that is clean and functional, but very small. (did I mention it's small? ) The Living room is spacious and has seating for everyone. The kitchen is fully stocked as any normal home would be, including pots and pans, plates, utensils etc.... It includes everything one would need to cook for 6 people. All linens are included, (sheets, pillows, blankets, towels) Paper towels and toilet paper, gas grill with propane, garbage bags, hand soap, dish soap, dishwasher soap, laundry detergent and softener as well as coffee filters for our regular drip coffee maker. We don't provide toiletries.

The home has a furnace and air conditioning to keep you comfortable. Easy access to everything in our area. Cabin is perfect for guests looking to have a home base centrally located to all our area has to offer. Wifi is provided. There is a garage in the pictures that is on the cabins property, (which you park in front of) however, it is not available for your use, sorry. There is not much yard at this property and out front , not much either.

ATV riders will appreciate the close proximity to the trail and gas station. For those looking to hike, bike and kayak, the trails and waterfalls are within 20 minutes and the river is just blocks away. Pictured Rocks Cruise is 10 minutes away.

In response to reviews, I feel it necessary to point out the following:
One of the two bathrooms is very small, please do not expect it to be big, as it is small like stated. It is a fully functioning bathroom, but it is small. Like small.....
The Cabin WILL sleep up to 6, but you do need to tell us you are actually going to be bringing the amount of people you intend to bring. We setup the cabin for the number of guests provided to us. For example, if you say 4 guests, we will set it up for 4, if you say 4 and bring 6, then don't expect accommodations for 6.

The cabin is closed during the winter, it is very possible that you may have a hint of "mustinesss" , especially during the spring. I assure you, that does not make this place unclean, it's just inevitable when you close a home up for 7 months and it can't breathe. If the potential for "musty" offends you, please book something else that will not offend you.

One of the bathrooms is small
All in all, please don't review us less because of these things. We don't deserve less a star because you were unhappy about something you should be aware of before booking.
Thank you,
Cory

Convenient location, has all you need

We stayed here as we explored Pictured rock National lakeshore and also went into Marquette and surrounding area. Had all the space we needed and was a great home base between our outings.Appreciated staying up on laundry and having a kitchen. It was very clean but noticeably vintage

Rustic, but comfortable

We enjoyed our stay. It’s a rustic cabin, but pretty clean and comfortable. The AC was appreciated. Close to Munising, Sand Point, etc. Note there were a lot of mosquitos and ants while we were there, but it’s a rural area so to be expected. Fortunately, there were no ants inside.

It’s located in a quiet subdivision so you were required to be low key and quiet by 10 pm Being this wasn’t our only destination on our vacation that was ok We we’re gone most days sight seeing ect and just mostly slept there and got ready for our next days adventure. Overall besides that the cottage was everything and then some that was stated

Christmas House

Nice home, roomy. Very close to Munising. Just a recommendation regarding the musty odor…it is worse in the second bedroom so I’d recommend removing the carpeting in that room and perhaps replacing with a non- carpet product. The air conditioning helped overall but less so in that room.

Christmas Cottage

Property was exactly what we needed. Very close to all the attractions we were interested in seeing. Description from owner about the property and things to do was accurate and very helpful. The one bathroom is very small as stated in the description. It is definitely a one person room, but it worked just fine. Would definitely stay here again.

Christmas cottage

Upon arriving when we walked in the cabin it had a very musty smell. That evening I discovered a dead mouse in a mouse trap under the kitchen table. That kinda unsettled me. I did contact the owner and he replied that mice do come in when it gets cooler. He did offer to come remove it but my husband had already discarded it.

Christmas Cottage was a great find for our tip to Pictured Rock! The place was exactly as described and had everything we needed to be comfortable. Even the small bathroom that is mentioned multiple times in the listing worked perfectly for us as an extra bathroom for our group of 4 adults. Host was also very responsive with my questions.

Configuration of the shower does not allow you to take a shower without being in contact with the shower curtain. Log hair on the shower walls, was it cleaned? Dishes in the cupboard had lipstick and crust on them. Table was dirty and crusty upon arrival. Beds were comfortable. Check in easy.
