This is my second fall trip to the Turtle Cove property in Hiawatha National Forest. The house and property were excellent, clean, and ready when we get in the first evening. The location made for great adventures and the morning views of the fall colors were excellent as I sipped my coffee. I will look to stay at this property again on my next visit to the area.

My family of 5 stayed in this home for the week of the Fourth. We felt like we were in our own up north cabin. It was easy to find with the directions they provide, and the cabin was stocked with everything you could need.

Enjoyed staying at this property. My family and I stayed and enjoyed spending time together. The sun set was spectacular, so beautiful and gold in color. My grandkid took the kayak out fishing in the mornings. Would love to checkout their other properties. From my family to yours, Thank You So Much.

We greatly appreciated the kayaks and row boat for use. The kitchen was huge and well appointed. Large and clean with 2 bathrooms.

Good location near Munising and several attractions. The property was clean and had plenty of bedding and towels. We used both the grill and fireplace, which was great! The only downsides were that the beds were very squeaky, so not good for light sleepers, and the beach isn’t really one you would swim in due to the algae and muck - still enjoyed sitting lakeside tho! We also had our dog, and it was great to find a place that was pet friendly.

Super cute and comfy cabin, my family really enjoyed staying here. They have a boat or kayaks for you to use, along with fishing poles and life vests. I have stayed in variety of cabins in northern Minnesota on Lake superior and None of them had half the amenities nor all the room this one had to offer at a much smaller price. We were all sad that it was only a small stop on a much longer journey. We definatly plan to stay again!

Property was clean, had a nice layout and good location. The furniture needs an upgrade, the couch and recliner, mattresses and outdoor chairs all need replacement. If you’re using this as a place to sleep and eat, probably fine but if you plan to spend any time here be prepared for no comfortable place to sit and hang out. We booked because we thought the price was lower but with the fees it wasn’t close to the $280 per night. It has great potential but some money needs to be invested in the place

great location on a small nice lake with great house layout, however we were turned off and inconvenienced by unsuitable maintenance due to mold, mice, dirty carpeting and superficial efforts to hide problems. It should be noted that some of the problems were related to water rising during the season and that our property manager (Cara of Freshwater Rentals) was immediately responsive and understanding. She provided extra cleaning service and a discount leading me to recommend any of her properties in the future.

Humidity was nothing that could be controlled but a better way to provide relief would make the property much better. The snarky notes about dishes and towels makes for a tenuous experience. There were no positive writings on the walls like “life’s better at the lake” or relax, everything is DONT DO THIS or we will expect a big tip. The experience was so bad we left on Friday and went and found a place with AC. It was futile to inquire because it’s obvious the property is all about ease for the housekeepers/owners and not the quests. The property is beautiful and picturesque, secluded, quiet, homey, adequately equipped just no way to cool the house off when it’s 80 inside the cabin.

We all loved our stay here! The weather was nice and we spent most of the time outside on the lake fishing and swimming or around the fire and BBQ. It's great location and having the kayaks and the row boat provided gives you an opportunity for extra activities. We saw 3 bald Eagles over the lake while paddling. Water in the lake is very warm and clear, I enjoyed going around the lake watching the fishes. Also the night sky around the fire was amazing, never saw so many stars! Although about the house, it needs some updates but it's not as bad as some people described it. The beds were very comfortable and shets and towels were fresh and clean. Kitchen is big and has everything you need for your stay. The bathrooms worked fine although it won't hurt if they replace the shower heads and the sliding door in small one needs repair. The furniture is a little outdated but comfortable. Carpet needs some deep cleaning or to be replaced. In some reviews people mentioned the spider webs but considering that you're in the forest and there are so many spiders and bugs around I think it's perfectly normal. Overall we had great time, and would recommend this place. It would be nice to have some fall and winter pictures (I bet it's gorgeous there).

Quaint, nice cabin. Off the beaten path, yet close to general store and daytrip excursions. Enjoyed the kayaks and rowboat. Fishing brought in our largest bass to date. Appreciated the fire pit. Really enjoyed the stay.

There is so much to do in this area. This house was the perfect quiet after a busy day. The lake is quiet, the fish are biting, the house is cozy with a wonderful cross breeze and the beds are comfortable. Hope to return next summer.

The cabin it large and comfortable but there were several issues where it needs general to advanced maintenance ... When I approached the entry door, I could see serious paint loss on the trim and soffits, there was plaster loss around the main bathroom tub, a kitchen cabinet door to the left lazy susan was hanging on by one hinge, the light over the sink was out and not replaceable, one frying pan should have been removed from inventory, one microwave oven did not work, the light dimmer switch knob for the light over the dining table was not operable I had to use the post to control the light, the large window overlooking the lake was VERY dirty and spoiled the view. This unit was not worth the asking price.

The listing should be more honest about the location of the grocery store. While technically there is a convenience store nearby, you can hardly classify it as groceries. Even the person working at Forest Glenn considered being listed as a grocery store quite a stretch. Stayers would appreciate knowing that you need to get groceries in Munising before going to the property. That information would have saved a lot of miles and aggravation. Other than that the place was great. Appreciated good quality paper products and that the tv got more television stations than subscription streaming services.
