The Cozy Cottage close to town

VinayRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We stayed here for two nights during our winter trip to Upper Michigan. The location is perfect for northern and Upper Peninsula travel. Chelsea's place had all the amenities that you can think of to make your stay comfortable. We were amazed by the attention to details on amenities and guest convenience. They also have a very nice information book for guests. Chelsea was very responsive before and throughoyt our stay. I'd highly recommend this place if you are visiting the area.

Really enjoyed our stay! The house was exactly as pictured and even cozier than we hoped for. The sunken living room was a wonderful place for my family of four to lounge and spend quality time together. Had the opportunity to use the hot tub and stomp around in the snow on the property. Anna was very responsive and helpful with local recommendations and directions. Would definitely stay here again.

Downtown TC Boutique Hotel Flat 205

MelissaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Amazing one night stay in Room 205. The area is very walkable with many local restaurants and bars. Steve was very responsive to a check in question as well as let us know the Flat was available at 2 earlier than check in. Parking was included and very easy to find. I'd love for check out to be 11 rather than 10 but the bed and amenities of the flat were just as described. We can't wait to come back.

Lake Huron best beach Historic Oakapiney 2br cabin

LeighRating, 5 stars20 months ago
The Oakapiney is hidden gem. Tom and Sue are awesome and were really great hosts. The place was perfect for our 2 year old. There’s a little play structure, and the lake is calm and shallow for a long ways out. There are also several beach toys available to use, which was a nice surprise. We enjoyed the woods around the cabins, the peace and quiet, sunrises, many beach walks, playing board games, and exploring the area. Highly recommend Presque Isle Farms Cidery, Austin Brothers Brewery, and Wandering Winds Farm. Alpena has a park with a splash pad and big playground, too. We can’t wait to come back again next summer!

Clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully provisioned. Perfect rendezvous point for family coming from Traverse City, Houghton, and WNY. Enjoyed a surprisingly sunny spring afternoon on the back porch. A good jumping off point for “up north” attractions, but we were happy to just cook together and visit.

Your guide to Upper Peninsula of Michigan

All About Upper Peninsula of Michigan

The Upper Peninsula can feel a little like the Wild West of the Midwest: scenic, rugged, remote, a place that takes determination to live in year-round and inspires awe in visitors. The 300-mile-long peninsula, whose triangular shape is framed by Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, and Lake Huron, is one of those regions that rewards long stays and excursions outdoors — both the warm-weather kind (hunting, hiking) and winter sports. From the Porcupine Mountains, near the Wisconsin border, to Sault Ste. Marie just over the water from Canada, the UP promises rocky coastlines, lush waterfalls, and old-growth forests. The 300,000 Yoopers who live here year-round extend a good-natured Midwestern welcome to those traveling through.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Upper Peninsula of Michigan

Located to the north of Wisconsin, with boundaries defined by two Great Lakes, the Upper Peninsula is no tropical destination. After a glorious, crisp fall, the snow begins falling in October and doesn't stop for six months. Don’t stint on packing winter wear, good boots, and possibly snowshoes in case you have car trouble. Spring rushes through the region in April and May, then yields to a glorious few months from June through August, where the temperatures hang in the 70s Fahrenheit and occasionally slip higher. Bring shorts and swimwear for the daytime, and light long-sleeve shirts and pants for the evening — black flies and mosquitos can be a nuisance.


Top things to do in Upper Peninsula of Michigan

Tahquamenon Falls State Park

This 50,000-acre state park in the east of the UP is densely covered in trees and home to one of the largest waterfalls in the United States, with a spectacular 50-foot drop. A four-mile hike through maples and beeches brings you to a second set of cascades; the park makes off-road track chairs available for wheelchair users to explore both falls.

Sault Ste. Marie

When the Soo Locks connecting Lakes Superior and Huron opened in 1855, wealth and industry came to the Upper Midwest. It’s still hypnotic to watch the massive ships traveling between the Atlantic and Minnesota rise and descend. The town itself is a pleasure to meander around, too, with a lively dining and arts scene.

Marquette

Marquette, the largest city on the peninsula, combines the charm of a college town with unparalleled access to Lake Superior and the surrounding wildlife. Miles of mountain bike trails wind around the outskirts of the city. The Marquette Maritime Museum and the Marquette Harbor Lighthouse, open during the summer months, display the fascinating history of sea travel on the world’s biggest freshwater lake.

Keweenaw Peninsula

Old mining towns dot this remote peninsula-on-a-peninsula in the western third of the region; the Cornish pasties miners introduced to Michigan are the most obvious remnant of the once-thriving industry. The town of Copper Harbor is a good base for your explorations, whether they include staying on the shore to see the Northern Lights or hiking the trails of Fort Wilkins Historic State Park.
