Loved the setting! So unique! The hosts were very accommodating. Caboose had all the amenities, but the internet tended to be unpredictable at times. Great weather while we were there.

Staying in the caboose on Lake Independence was a very unique and fun experience. The cabin is small, but cozy and comfortable, and you can’t beat the grounds and the view. Gina and Paul a delight - always available, never intrusive, ever generous. We would definitely come back.

We had a short stay (just two nights) so didn't have a lot of time to enjoy Independence Lake but it looked fun for kayaking and just floating around. Our hosts were so friendly and greeted us when we arrived, made sure we had everything we needed. We hiked around Sugarloaf Mountain, and visited the beach on Lake Superior which was awesome. Overall very cozy and beautiful location if water and woods are your thing. Close enough to Marquette to enjoy that area too. Eat at Crams cafe before heading home, it was delicious!

Perfect weekend getaway
The caboose was perfect for our anniversary getaway weekend. The property owners are friendly and welcoming. The lake is beautiful and we had use of a canoe and kayaks. There was also a grill and fire pit available. Upon check in we were given a sheet with places to go visit including waterfalls and a beach. Gina and Paul are great people, we will definitely be making a return trip.

The caboose had all I needed to have a unique and memorable vacation. Gina and Paul were attentive and helpful hosts. I enjoyed talking with Gina when I saw her working in her garden.
The caboose was clean. The grounds were beautiful. On clear nights the stars were amazing. I didn't go on the lake, but I can see how it would be a lot of fun for boating and fishing.
The U.P. has always been a favorite vacation spot. The caboose is now a favorite destination. I highly recommend it!
Thank you, Gina and Paul, for providing such a great base for enjoying all the U.P. has to offer!

The caboose was very comfortable and the hosts were very inviting. However the lake was the best surprise. The clean sandy bottom extended 30-60 feet off shore and hardly got deeper then 3'. The center of the lake does get deeper but along the shore was perfect for kayaking or canoeing.

Gina and Paul made kayaks and canoe available for lake fun. Sorry we didn't get a chance to enjoy adult beverages together but I hope you two found the Baileys "LS&I-rish" Cream tasty. (;

Had a nice time away at the caboose with my dog. The caboose is fine for 1 to 2 people and has everything that you would need for your stay. The property is clean and well maintained. The owners are nice and accommodating. The only thing to be aware of is that the caboose is right in their backyard so there isn’t much for complete privacy. So if you’re looking for privacy and to not be around a lot of other people probably not the best place. Other than that it’s a beautiful location and I enjoyed my stay.
5.0
Gina and Paul are truly amazing hosts. VERY hospitable! The Caboose sits on their property, so they aren’t far but give you all the space you need. It had everything we needed and very clean. The view of the lake is amazing- they provide a canoe and kayaks. There are trails for hiking, but be prepared to drive. Nice and clean beach nearby the property! Overall, it was a very relaxing week.
