The interiors of these cabins are very clean and well-kept, with recent renovations. We were very comfortable during our stay here and are looking forward to returning. The kitchen was clean and completely equipped, and the main living area had plenty of space for the two of us to stretch out and relax. Bedrooms were a little small, and the mattresses softer than I'd like, but were OK for a week. The bathroom looked recently remodeled. Shower stall was awesome--large, with the nozzle high enough to spray my 6'6" frame without me bending down. That's almost never been the case at a rental cabin. Wifi was generally reliable, but went out several times, usually briefly. The view of course is wonderful. Having Lake Superior right outside your window is reason enough to stay here. With so much to do around Paradise, our main regret was not staying another week,

We stayed in the big house on the water, it looked beautiful on the outside but once inside the nightmare began.The house was dirty upon arrival, trash under some beds, dust everywhere, on lamps, railings, stands. Sinks not attached to the wall, sinks not draining, broken toilet, MOLD in the master shower. Outlets not working, wifi only reached the floor it was on and was spotty. No curtains in bedrooms or bathrooms, except the bedroom with MOLD on both of the windows and window sills. Mold and what lookes like food waste under the crisper in the refrigerator. The oven hasn't been cleaned in what looks like forever, oil stains and food particles covering the entirety of every surface in the oven. Friends and family staying in the smaller cabins were horrified with their condition, bathrooms, propain, and doors not working. After all of that the new owners will demand that you pay a $250 cleaning fee.

From the moment our family crossed the threshold of this beautiful vacation rental, a feeling of…read moreserenity swept over me. The present owners have decorated the all-amenities interior with affirmative signage that seems to encourage the occupants to soak in the restorative surroundings which include a private lake front great for fishing, wading, birding, or adventuring out in a classic rowboat. Although it'd be tempting to spend an entire visit just reading on the deck or stretched out in the spacious yard while chucking another log into the fire pit, this location is also ideally situated for day trips to some of the Upper Penninsula's most popular destinations, including Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore, Tahquemenon Falls, Castle Rock, Oswald's Bear Ranch, the shipwreck museum, lighthouses,and the quaint town of Newberry, to name a few. We couldn't help feeling we had the best of both worlds - although we were within walking distance of a convenience store/gas station that boasted everything from homemade dough nuts to basic produce, to firewood, to a full ice cream counter and deli, once we were near the lake, we thought we were miles from the rest of the world. While our children enjoyed following frogs along the shoreline and skipping stones, when they tired of outdoor play or had exhausted themselves playing in the nearby waterfalls, they could take a break in the beautifully furnished living room and find a favorite show on demand. My husband and I were delighted with the wi-fi so that we could catch up on work. When we were ready to unplug, we could read in our king sized bed and have the option to either shut out the world, or watch the night fall on the lake from the sliding door in our bedroom. Since this rental sleeps at least 8 with lots of space and privacy, we can't wait to return for another visit and invite a few friends! This space made for a vacation to treasure!

But if a quiet, clean, no-frills cottage retreat sounds like a good vacation base camp, you can do a lot worse than Woods. Michigan has a lot of small, older rental cabin resorts and these vary widely in the level of maintainence they receive. Woods stands up very well among these. The interior is spartan but clean and doesn't show a lot of obvious wear and tear. The bathroom was clean, though quite small. The hot water supply was a bit limited--after one of us showered, it took quite a while before there was enough for the other. There wasn't much counter space in the kitchen area, and the gas stove had basically two settings--full blast and slightly less than full blast. Not a great problem if all you need to do is heat something up, but if you need to simmer something for a while or pan fry anything, there's a high risk you'll scorch it. All that said, the inconveniences we encountered in the cabin certainly didn't put a damper on the trip. It was a satisfactory place to sleep, eat, and wash. And the view of Lake Superior out the window and direct access to the beach compensated for any shortcomings at Woods. There was a stairway directly behind our cabin leading down to a boardwalk over a marshy area between the cabins and the beach. It took about five minute to walk to the water, but the walk itself was pleasant. The beach is open to the public, but was far less crowded than the beaches right in Grand Marais. So, I'll give three stars for the cabin itself, five for the view and general setting, for a four-star overall rating.
