Very peaceful setting on Powell Lake. The unit was very clean and provided my family and I with a great home base for Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

PROS: -Lake access -Use of kayaks and paddle boards -Beautiful scenery CONS: -The listing states “entire space”. This is a lofted section of a multi-unit cabin. There were other families renting other portions of the cabin during our stay. I don’t feel that the listing made this clear. -The unit is not air conditioned. There is an air conditioning unit in one of the bedrooms but it does not cool the kitchen and second bedroom. -We had 4 guests and there wasn’t enough seating at the outside table and down by the dock.
