Vacation rentals with a kayak in Schoolcraft County

Our stay here over the holidays was very pleasant!

When we arrived we were so pleased with the space! It was beautiful and the quality of the home was apparent. The views were spectacular. The area was quite private and secluded; just what we were looking for. The space was perfectly sized and appointed for our group. We were disappointed by the following things, which we shared with the owner bc we couldn’t tell if it was a disrespectful guest, or things that had been overlooked by a cleaner. We discovered a broken plate placed carefully under the other dishes; coffee grinds and water in the coffee maker; and a multitude of dirty dishes, including pans, bowls, glasses, silverware, and plates. Again, this is not necessarily the owners fault, but for the cost, we wanted to be sure they knew how we found things bc we didn’t expect to have to wash all of our dishes before using them! We were careful to follow all checkout rules and leave the space neat and tidy. Can’t beat the beautiful sunsets and views.

We only stayed for a night between destinations… but it was wonderful! Super clean, cute decor, and great location on the river. Amy was very communicative and helpful. Very prompt responses and gave local recommendations when asked.

The Sandbox’s shoreline was stunning and the comforts of the beach house itself were perfection! The neighboring towns offered great spots for local shopping and dining, and SOOO many beautiful nature-based things to do await you! If you are at all put off by natural well water with a high iron content, buy some gallons of water to bring with you for drinking water/pets - other than that, absolute perfection (and important to note, totally outside of the control of the owners/management)!

We enjoyed our time in the north woods. Beautiful views from the decks. The house was well kept, very comfortable accommodations, and well stocked with pots/pans/utensils, as we prepared all our own meals. Did not use grill, but propane was available. Wifi met everyone's needs. Would stay again.

Perfect place to stay right on the water. Beds were awesome

This place was very peaceful and cozy. I literally got my best photo at this place. Jacqueline was friendly and responded to us very quickly with useful tips. It was worthy!

we loved our first visit to the area! the place was nice and clean, also right on the water and had amazing views.

Nick and Abbey have a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us. Water was great, fishing was superb, so much to do in the area, we wish we would have stayed longer! Our two little boys had such a great time playing on the beach and going for rides on the kayaks with us. If you have any hesitation, forget it! One of the best Airbnb experiences we have had!

We stayed in Keith's place from 09/28 to 10/05 2024. That was our third happy return to Ostrander Lake Oasis. The house is very welcoming and well maintained. Everything is in a very good condition and views are amazing. We had great time on a property. The weather was very warm so we had some fun on a lake riding paddle bike and kayak. In the evening we sat around fire making s'mores ,telling stories and do some stargazing . In a cabin we played games (there are lots of them there) . So it is always lots to do on a property, and It is close to Munising, Sand Point (another beautiful beach) and Pictured Rocks - about 30 minutes of driving, which is very convenient. We stayed in different places in UP before we finally found Keith's property, and now we stopped looking . We found everything we need for great vacation : clean, well equipped and welcoming house, beautiful views, friendly hosts that are always very easy to reach. Thank you Keith and Patricia! Veronika & Boris.

The house was perfect for what we needed with a peaceful beautiful lake. The necessities provided was a nice little bonus.

The view in the morning while you are having coffee is magical. You hear the waves and feel the sunshine on your face-heaven! Very well appointed kitchen…had every item I needed to prepare any meal (baking dishes, pans, whisk, etc) just like you would have at home. Beds were super comfortable and we really enjoyed the fireplace. Games, books, puzzles…and we loved the ping pong table. We stayed in winter and it was the beautiful and quiet family getaway we needed. We only left the house once!

Very secluded, beautiful scenery. Highly recommend for secluded getaway!

This cabin was just perfect! Clean, well stocked with linens, towels and toliet paper- comfy beds and has WiFi! I can't get over the view of Lily Lake and the sunrise 😍. The firepit was perfect and had fire wood ready to go for a night under the stars! Pictured Rocks are within 10-15minutes with endless hiking and views- it truly was perfect!

The place was great. Denise was welcoming and everything you would need for a stay at the lake

This is our second time renting at Hovey’s Bear Trap, and it won’t be our last! I mixed up a part of my booking initially, and I messaged them to see if there was a way to correct it. Within an hour I had a response and they fixed it for me. They are wonderful hosts and have a beautiful property.
