I’m so glad we found this cabin on Sawyer Lake for our summer vacation. We could have stayed for weeks, with all the comforts of home in this beautiful UP setting. The floor plan would accommodate a much bigger group than we were, so we look forward to coming back next time with more family! If there was an option to add on a pontoon boat rental, this would be a ten-star review. I would pay $50-$75/day for that option! That said, we did enjoy the canoe and kayak, and the floating chairs. Beautiful, comfortable cabin in the heart of it all! Loved it.

The A-Frame cabin has wonderful views of Sawyer Lake. It is very clean and well appointed. A home away from home! Have fun kayaking, canoeing, and enjoying the view from the deck. We loved it!

My family and I had a wonderful stay on Sawyer Lake. The cabin was well-stocked and well cared for. Very clean and comfortable! The manager, Pam, was very responsive by text and very kind. We were pleasantly surprised to find the kitchen had everything we needed for our stay - pots, pans, tools, utensils, coffee maker, toaster, dishwasher, microwave, and an extra fridge on the lower floor. The bathrooms are updated and clean. Plenty of towels for showers and beach towels for swimming in the lake. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, with plenty of space for our family. We enjoyed hanging out every day on the back deck and on the dock overlooking the lake. The canoe and kayak and water toys got a lot of use during our stay. The best part was the location - quiet and peaceful, with incredible sunsets every night in early July.
