I will start with the downfalls by saying that one bed had most obviously been peed in and should have been thoroughly laundered rather than made up as if it were clean. The second point is that yes, the kennel dogs nearby do howl as a pack most often during the nights, which is incredibly irritating for those who cannot sleep through noise. Otherwise the property and view and space were terrific.

We had such a great time staying here. We had 4 adults and 4 children under 10. We enjoyed catching (and releasing) fish with the kids, kayaking, the kids enjoyed digging in the sand. We have been to the area before so we knew the distance to Munising, and didn't mind the 30 ish minute drive into town. We really enjoyed the sounds of the lake and woods in the evening and early morning, and star gazing was incredible. We heard dogs barking but not while we were sleeping. The kitchen was well stocked for what we cooked, plenty of towels and the washer and dryer were necessary with younger kids. We would definitely stay again.

Great cabin near pictured rocks on a scenic lake. There are a lot of bugs though so bring spray and layers!

The property had everything we could expect and more.

The property was very nice on a small private lake. It looked as it was depicted in the listing. Please note, this does not seem to be a swimming lake. During the summer the mosquitoes and black flies were relentless. I am not rating on the outside, but inside the cabin there were many mosquitoes. Most of the screens in the house had rips/holes or the frames were not flush and we could not open the windows as the mosquitoes would flood in. We were killing mosquitoes on us inside the house and listening to them buz at night. After staying in multiple VRBOs over the years, the price per night did not match up to the property or amenities. It was not a bad stay, there were little things here and there that could be improved and it just didn't meet our expectations. We traveled back and forth to Pictured Rocks over our stay. It is about a 35 minute drive into Munising.

Phenomenal semi-private lake for kayaking and fishing. Really nice house as well. We had an excellent time overall.

Great property! The only thing that isn't 5 stars is the fact that there is a dog kennel nearby where the dogs bark at night. Very nice cabin.

The house was perfect very clean and had all we needed. Thank you so much.

We enjoyed our stay and loved waking up to see the mist on the lake in the morning. The kitchen contained everything you would need. Great location close to lots of places to see.

This was a great spot near Pictured Rocks for us to do a small men's retreat for guys from our church. Very quiet and private and near a lot of great wilderness.

As healthcare providers (Respiratory Therapist, Registered Nurse) cleanliness is very important to us. This place was A+++ clean! A quiet, remote location offered a great retreat from the hustle and bustle of the big city, but short commutes to major attractions in the area. My daughter enjoyed the kayaks and hammock! Would definitely consider Nauti Pines again in the future if we return to the upper peninsula.

This lodge is a very peaceful and relaxing place to stay. The lake is beautiful. We had the opportunity to fish and kayak which was very nice. At night at the fire we could hear the wolves in the background which was interesting for the kids. We had a couple of issues but the management and owner were very kind about our concerns and took care of things as soon as possible. The only draw back is that it is a very remote location if you are choosing to do site seeing. It is quite a drive to the sites, restaurants and stores. Other than that our stay was very pleasant.

Absolutely loved it here. Our daughter was out every morning catching frogs. We caught tons of pike also some bluegill. We also loved exploring Pictured Rocks.

What a great place to stay. The lake was super nice and the cabin had everything we needed or could want. Kayaking on the lake was alot of fun for everyone. We would definitely stay here again.

Clean spacious home on the lake good for kayaking, fishing, wonderful location to trail ride, not to far from stores. Would recommend to others.

Cabin was beautiful with comfortable furniture and had everything you needed on hand in the kitchen. The kayaks were unexpectedly + and enjoyed catching several pike from the lake. If you have to go Grand Marais or traveling north to 77, it's 10 miles of gravel road. The direction signs on Nugent lake road were to small to read although we did find it.

Great cabin in a secluded location with all amenities yet rustic feel. Perfect location if you like exploring pictured rocks area or fishing area lakes. Mervin Lake although small is full of pike and landed a 32" 7lber casting from shore. Let her go to swim another day to be caught by someone else.

In looking for a family trip this year to escape all the negativity in the world for a few days, this was hands down the only type of vacation to take. The cabin was amazing, the scenery serene, and total solitude if you so choose. Nearest town where’s there’s actually a grocery store and civilization is about 30 mins away. Taking a day trip to Eban Ice Caves and a day spent with Husky Haven Adventures, definitely was entertaining. Two suggestions I didn’t know before hand, 1 take DVDs or Blu Rays... Your in the wilderness so definitely remember that before you take 4 teenagers who are city folks, and the 2nd, please follow the directions provided by the owner or Alyssa the grounds keeper. DO NOT FOLLOW GPS! We had to be towed off of a snowmobiling trail as my GPS took us into the woods! No signal and extremely scary. This was our fault as we were given written directions and still followed the GPS. I will go back but knowing what I know now, I would tell kids to leave phones at home. ‍♀️
