Summary: 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.

Summary: 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

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.
