A wonderful place vacation. It's clean, comfortable and very quiet. The Upper Peninsula is so beautiful and this cottage blends right into the surroundings, with all the comforts of home. Only thing you won't find is a television, but I find that to be a blessing. I've rent here several times and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend Rodney Westlake and his "House on the Hill!"

This cabin was fantastic for our long weekend in the UP. Centrally located to Mt Bohemia and xc skiing trails. The cabin itself was super clean and cozy making it the perfect getaway!
