Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Airport: The closest airport is at Sawyer International Airprort in Marquette (MQT), 48 miles from the cottage
65 miles to Escanaba (ESC) normally has the best rates. Flying to the Upper Peninsula is rarely at a discount.

Boat Launch: Town Lake is a private lake which is unofficially a no-wake lake. It is a quiet lake. You can rent a boat the Forest Glen General Store across the lake and launch from there. There is no official launch for Town Lake at Turtle Cove. There is not a public launch on the lake. A small boat may be possible to launch, yet it is not recommended.

Fishing: A variety of pan fish, including redbreast sunfish, redear sunfish and largemouth bass. You are required to purchase a fishing license. You can get it online at the DNR.

Pet: 1 pet is allowed (no weight limit). Freshwater Vacation Rentals currently charges $75/per pet for your entire stay.

Swimming: Not a traditional swimming beach. The entire lake is hard sandy bottom. You can swim here-but the lake does get deep pretty quickly, so small kids should be monitored closely. The first 10 feet from shore goes from 0 ft to 2 ft. the next 10 ft from shore goes from 2 ft. to 5-6 ft. then drops to 12 ft. pretty quickly. There is a more traditional shallow water beach less than 1 mile away at Pete's Lake Day Use Area.

Another great trip to Hiawatha
This is my second fall trip to the Turtle Cove property in Hiawatha National Forest. The house and property were excellent, clean, and ready when we get in the first evening. The location made for great adventures and the morning views of the fall colors were excellent as I sipped my coffee. I will look to stay at this property again on my next visit to the area.

Good location, house needs some investment
Property was clean, had a nice layout and good location. The furniture needs an upgrade, the couch and recliner, mattresses and outdoor chairs all need replacement. If you’re using this as a place to sleep and eat, probably fine but if you plan to spend any time here be prepared for no comfortable place to sit and hang out. We booked because we thought the price was lower but with the fees it wasn’t close to the $280 per night. It has great potential but some money needs to be invested in the place

There is so much to do in this area. This house was the perfect quiet after a busy day. The lake is quiet, the fish are biting, the house is cozy with a wonderful cross breeze and the beds are comfortable. Hope to return next summer.

My family of 5 stayed in this home for the week of the Fourth. We felt like we were in our own up north cabin. It was easy to find with the directions they provide, and the cabin was stocked with everything you could need.

Needs TLC
The cabin it large and comfortable but there were several issues where it needs general to advanced maintenance ... When I approached the entry door, I could see serious paint loss on the trim and soffits, there was plaster loss around the main bathroom tub, a kitchen cabinet door to the left lazy susan was hanging on by one hinge, the light over the sink was out and not replaceable, one frying pan should have been removed from inventory, one microwave oven did not work, the light dimmer switch knob for the light over the dining table was not operable I had to use the post to control the light, the large window overlooking the lake was VERY dirty and spoiled the view. This unit was not worth the asking price.

Clean, Pet Friendly
Good location near Munising and several attractions. The property was clean and had plenty of bedding and towels. We used both the grill and fireplace, which was great! The only downsides were that the beds were very squeaky, so not good for light sleepers, and the beach isn’t really one you would swim in due to the algae and muck - still enjoyed sitting lakeside tho! We also had our dog, and it was great to find a place that was pet friendly.

Grocery store
The listing should be more honest about the location of the grocery store. While technically there is a convenience store nearby, you can hardly classify it as groceries. Even the person working at Forest Glenn considered being listed as a grocery store quite a stretch. Stayers would appreciate knowing that you need to get groceries in Munising before going to the property. That information would have saved a lot of miles and aggravation. Other than that the place was great. Appreciated good quality paper products and that the tv got more television stations than subscription streaming services.

Cute
Super cute and comfy cabin, my family really enjoyed staying here. They have a boat or kayaks for you to use, along with fishing poles and life vests. I have stayed in variety of cabins in northern Minnesota on Lake superior and None of them had half the amenities nor all the room this one had to offer at a much smaller price. We were all sad that it was only a small stop on a much longer journey. We definatly plan to stay again!

Muggy and Snarky
Humidity was nothing that could be controlled but a better way to provide relief would make the property much better. The snarky notes about dishes and towels makes for a tenuous experience. There were no positive writings on the walls like “life’s better at the lake” or relax, everything is DONT DO THIS or we will expect a big tip. The experience was so bad we left on Friday and went and found a place with AC. It was futile to inquire because it’s obvious the property is all about ease for the housekeepers/owners and not the quests. The property is beautiful and picturesque, secluded, quiet, homey, adequately equipped just no way to cool the house off when it’s 80 inside the cabin.

Wonderful Cabin at wonderful location
Pros: Close friends (two couples) spent three nights there. Almost everything was perfect. Naturally quiet with bird chirping. Cons: 1. had to replace a dead bulb in the kitchen with one from a spare lamp; 2. Coffee maker was very dirty; 3. one shower is very small; 4. Listed Dishwasher available but not; 5. yard can be more neat; 6. instruction to the cabin can be more precise (we tried very hard to find the cabin)
