Summary: This is a basic but functional unit, with a fridge/stove/dishwasher/outdoor grill, and cooking/eating basics. We stayed for one night. The location is excellent if your destination is Taquamenon Falls or the Whitefish Bay area. We especially liked the ease of self check-in as well as the fire pit and chairs in the back. We would have liked a sliding screen door for the back door-wall (in addition to the sliding glass door) so that we could leave both front windows (which have screens) and the rear door-wall open for better air circulation (as the unit has no A/C). We would stay again.
