Relaxing Getaway!
Great place for a family vacation away from all the craziness of life! We loved the secluded location, just far enough away, but still close to general stores for any necessities. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The kids never got bored. Fishing and sight seeing were great! A bald eagle flew right by my son! Very peaceful place to reconnect with family. The property owner was in touch to check if we needed anything and was very helpful! We are already planning our next trip back ?

Perfect Rustic Getaway
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this place! Culturing & fun experience using the composting toilet and battery operated shower. Great fishing on Baldy Lake, too!

Vacation 7/2023
Really enjoyed our time at the cabin. Very peaceful and had a great time fishing. Close to all our excursions and still felt secluded. Our 2 yo son loved picking the wild blueberries and fishing from the dock.

Wonderful place
Really a terrific place. Just a fantastic location, quite secluded. Cabin was immaculate with all the amenities, especially for something described as rustic. Great area for bonfires, nice dock and fishing boat. Things I was concerned about before the trip were non-issues. The composting toilet was actually great, shower was super easy to use (never knew I could shower thoroughly with only 3 gallons of water!). The hand pump in the kitchen for water was a little tedious but worked flawlessly. We had plenty of "juice" in the battery powered Wifi for hopping on the internet for texts/emails. There were a few minor things that I would point out as suggestions, while still rating this property 5*. Maybe one more outdoor trash can available. Recommend purchasing either more firewood from the owner, or buying your own somewhere nearby. The $63 in wood we bought that we thought would last the week only lasted 2 nights. And if fishing is your main thing, not the best lake for it. You'll catch plenty of rock bass and crappie, but zero pike, perch or "eating fish" to be found. Still fun to catch them but we bought fresh Lake Superior fish in Munising! Again, all in all a really great place and we highly recommend it.

Baldy lake retreat
It was a nice cozy cabin in the middle of the woods on Baldy lake. It was a good time and memorable experience.

Remote get away
Remote is the key word but this property delivered. If I didn't want to leave I could find so many things to do but it was also I nice get away home to come back to after long adventure days. If you want a very private get away to have the off the grid feeling this is the place. Would stay again.

Love Baldy Lake Cabin. Clean and simple with fish, deer, otters, and eagles. Great place to relax with family. Thanks Tom and Lisa!

We stayed at Baldy Lake Escape two times, once in June and again a month later in July. What a great place to relax! There is plenty to do in the area if that’s what you want. We just wanted to enjoy the quiet and relax. In June the wild flowers were in bloom, in July it was the blue berries. We fished, saw lots of wildlife, and sat on the screened in porch and relaxed. It’s very cozy! Looking forward to returning again next year!

Clean, quiet, private cabin near Munising. Don't let the rustic features of the cabin scare you away...they are not problem. Beautiful cabin and location!

Picture Perfect!
This is a must stay! We booked the cabin for our Honeymoon and could not be happier with our decision! The cabin and entire experience exceeded our expectations! The cabin in nestled in the woods on a quiet semi private lake. It was my first time using a composting toilet, we have been doing a lot of research on "off grid" living and we were intrigued to try the toilet out. I was surprised that it has absolutely no odor, and I was expecting a bucket and saw dust, however the composting toilet is really nice, we even looked up the model and made note for the future, for when we get a cabin someday! So if the toilet is something that may discourage your stay! I would urge you to give it a try! Lisa and Tom were great hosts and were available to answer any questions we had! I definitely hope to return again! My husband and I both fell in love with the cabin!

The Camp at Baldy Lake was a wonderful treat! The cabin had everything in it that we needed, and the dock was perfect for reading and watching the lake. We saw bald eagles every day. Lisa is a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Beautiful area for watching wildlife or just looking at the colors.

Beautiful Vacation
Great view, beautiful cottage. Beds were super comfy but upstairs loft was so hot for sleep! We rented a motor for the boat from the owners but it didn't work and we did not get a refund. The self-composting toilet was really nice, no smell and wonderful that it uses no water!

We highly recommend this cabin for anyone hoping to get away, disconnect a bit, and enjoy family and nature time in a beautiful, rustic way. I wasn’t sure how we would do without screens and the usual comforts but it didn’t take long for my three children, husband and me to adapt to this more simple and peaceful pace. We enjoyed relaxing lakeside, playing games and reading on the screened porch, beautiful sunsets, fire at night, and canoes and kayaks on the lake. It was nice to have a lot of time to talk, make meals together (kitchen has everything you need), see some wildlife, and being so close to Munising lead to lots of adventurous day trips including swimming at beautiful beaches, hiking by waterfalls, biking on Grand Island, Pictured Rocks Boat cruise, and we enjoyed some great restaurants and coffee shop in town for when we needed to connect up. We look forward to coming back!

Incredible location
It was our first time in the UP and this location was just amazing. It took our breath away, pretty secluded, very peaceful, we also rented a boat which added an additional entertainment. I was pregnant at the time and underestimated the bathroom situation but other than that it was a great trip. Our 5 year old also caught a lot of fish and it was very exciting for her.

We loved the cabin on Lake Baldy. It was such a great spot on the lake and having the boats to use was so nice to enjoy the lake. It was great to unplug and enjoy family time.The setting was beautiful and we would love to come back. The owners were very helpful and easy to communicate with. An overall wonderful vacation at the cabin!

We arrived at "The Camp on Baldy Lake" just before sunset on a gorgeous fall day. I knew we were going to love our stay before we opened the door, but on entry, WOW! The wood stove had been lit before our arrival; it was toasty warm and the appointments were so inviting and the VIEW!! Amazing! It was a stunning start to a wonderful stay! We took advantage of the area, hiking and canoeing right around Baldy Lake as well as visiting the Munising area waterfalls and attractions. This is a very "modern" rustic cabin. We loved every minute of our stay. Thank you so much, Tom and Lisa! Can't wait to come back.

I don’t know where to start! Our week here was amazing. Not to far from Munising. We enjoyed being without electricity and phone service. Although there is a phone in the cabin now which is convenient incase anyone wanted to get a hold of us. The night sky without really any light pollution was breathtaking! We wished the fishing was better but that’s not in our control. The cabin was awesome, all the basic amenities. Kitchen was good and stocked with everything we needed. Lisa was awesome to work with as well. I’m sure we’ll be back in the future!

Thank you so much! Such a lovely spot, and we had such a good time, even though we only caught one fish. LOL I didn't really fish, and my sons have less experience than I do, but they still enjoyed it. And we loved the hiking and canoeing Etc.

Peaceful Getaway ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had the most enjoyable getaway. Wonderful for people that want to unplug and just enjoy the sounds of nature. The owners did a fantastic job of ensuring our stay was one that we would remember, so many special touches. We hope to return again someday. Hi Lisa, We just wanted to thank you again for a delightful stay at your cottage. We had an amazing time and hope to be able to visit again. We just returned home and got your message, we did just fine arriving around 5:30. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Thanks, Pete and Babette

My husband and I had a lovely peaceful, quite stay at Camp Baldy. The stars were amazing- some of the best I have ever viewed. Often we saw a bald eagle perched on a dead tree on a little island. It was perfectly situated to the hiking and boat tours of the Munising area. We came back RELAXED. We loved being deep in the woods.

LOVELY rustic cottage on a quiet lake. We did some kayaking and drove around exploring the area. The cottage was super clean, welcoming, owners were AWESOME hosts! We brewed our coffee on the stove & enjoyed it while watching the mist rise from the lake. One of my favorite vacations ever. WE WILL BE BACK! :)
