Fish Camp

We loved staying at this charming cottage. Between the location (right on the water!), the cozy fire place, and the sauna, we had such a cozy visit. It was hard to leave!

I loved this place for the views, silence, woods and lake. We brought our own water filtration system so the lack of potable water wasn't too much of an issue. I would have loved running water and a bathroom with a shower, but I knew what we were getting into. The only issue for the week was with the compost toilet. It malfunctioned a couple of times which was pretty gross. The caretaker was very kind, helpful and attentive. The cook plate doesn't work great. Luckily we could cook on the fire pit outside but it would be a good idea to replace it. There was also great birdwatching, a nice view and it is fairly close to lots of good hiking.

Several improvements past four years. I was 2nd person to rent and the improvements are awesome.

Fish Camp hits the sweet spot between camping and not camping. Cook over a fire, but there's a gas fireplace inside to keep you cozy. There's a kitchen with a hot plate + dishes/cooking implements, a sink pumping lake water, and a composting toilet. We really don't suffer from lack of a shower, as we go in the sauna, and then soap up and cold plunge in the lake. The firewood and sauna wood is well-stocked and thoughtfully assembled to make sauna use easy. This is the property that truly made us fall in love with the UP and Lake Superior. There's nothing better than scrambling down the rocks to sit on the giant boulder and watch the sun rise to the west with the moon rising to the east over, looking out over the beautiful cove. This rental is well-situated between Munising and Marquette, with close proximity to the Au Train River and many public access sandy beaches nearby. We have stayed here 3 times and will absolutely return as long as this rental exists. Access to the property has been seamless every time and property managers have been responsive and present. The rental is clean and well-maintained, with thoughtful details and amenities.

Hello - we absolutely loved the cabin and the location. The inside of the cabin was very clean and comfortable. The only issue was the lack of warm running water which is quite needed to not only wash the dishes but personal reasons if you stay at the cabin for longer than one night. Additionally, the toilet is not very disability friendly. Aside from that, it was a lovely place to stay:)

Manager's Response

The cabin was amazing! It was cozy and comfortable with great views of Lake Superior. It was fully stocked and the indoor fireplace was a nice way to stay warm at night. The firepit and shelf of wood that we could leave money for was very convenient. It was the perfect place to view sunrises and sunsets. The compostable toilet was not as bad as I thought it was going to be, but it was very high up and difficult to sit on.

If you are looking for a nice little cabin that gives you the feel of living in the woods this place is perfect for you. The cabin is comfortable, has all the necessary things for a memorable stay. As long as you know that you won`t get a luxury experience here but an experience that gives you a break from the busy lifestyle in more populated places, you won`t be disappointed. You won`t get a shower here and everything is simpler but that makes the experience that memorable. The housekeepers are super nice and helpful. We had a few problems with the payment and the fireplace, but they immediately fixed it and we found a solution.

My boyfriend and I wanted to do some hiking around the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and this was such a great alternative to camping. House was incredibly clean and stocked with everything you could need. Great spot to watch sunsets on the rocks and have campfires until it was dark. Location was about a 40 minute drive to most trailheads in Munising.

This relaxing cabin just feet from Lake Superior was perfect for my stay. The sauna was great after a long motorcycle ride in 30 degree weather. I would stay again in a second!!

Fish Camp is perfect for a zero-distraction getaway. We live in a tourist area of northern Wisconsin and by late August needed a secluded rest. The cabin is shelter, heat and sleep. Located maybe 20’ from the water on a slight cliff it provides great Superior gazing. We had a campfire going constantly and enjoyed 5 saunas over our two night stay. Great restaurant just up M28, and we cooked at the Camp over open fire. Great caretaker brought more sauna wood. Clean, linens provided, easy to heat and cozy.

Serene, secluded, quiet, beautiful, calming, my fifth time here. A few improvements each time! Management co. very responsive. I needed something that wasn't there and they brought it right out - on a Sunday. Wonderful storm the last evening. Great rock collecting at beaches and boat launches. :) One of my best friends from Ohio had just passed away so it was also a wonderful place to grieve my friend. The horizon and sunrises are the best place for coffee. I had a boulder that became my island to relax on the water and read and watch the fish.

Perfect rustic cabin even for the novice camper! Fall asleep listening to the waves, wake up to beautiful sunrises. First experience with a compost toilet and let me tell you, way better than an outhouse or Port-a-potty! Will definitely be back in the spring.

Can’t wait to stay again!

This was one of our favorite places stay.

Wonderful UP week! Had a couple snafus with propane but were resolved quickly. Beautiful cabin, area, lake (obviously!), waterfront, trees, privacy, serenity, etc. The shore is rocky and has big boulders so be careful with kiddos. I stayed twice this season and will be back next season. Hosts and owners bend over backwards to ensure you are happy and relaxed.
