Vacation rentals in Skanee

Absolutely gorgeous setting right on the lake. The home was comfortable, welcoming, and had everything we would need. We will certainly stay here again.

This was my 3rd or 4th time staying here and it was again a great place to stay! Highly recommend!!

Great location in the upper peninsula. the house is situated on a beautiful lake in the woods. It is equipped with all the comforts of home and well suited for large groups. Jessamine is extremely quick, friendly, and help when responding to messages. We loved our long weekend stay and would highly recommend this house to anyone.

Tammy's place was so much better than I expected. The private location was second to none, yet still a short drive if you needed/wanted to shop or be by other people. I was bummed I didn't have enough time to check out the sauna. Everything was very neet and clean. the waterfrontage was great for relaxing, having a bon fire, star gazing, rock hounding. The number of deer seen on and around the property was amazing. The only drawbacks were no washer and dryer, not an issue for the few days we were there (4), the amount of flies trying to get inside, can't blame the owner though as they cannot control mother nature. While it wasn't an issue while we were there, I didn't see any air condioning options. They may have some, I didn't notice it due to being late fall. This may sound odd, but I told my wife, this is the kind of place I want to go to to die...I know, a bit dark for some, but for me, it just felt so soothing and relaxing every minute I was there. Hard to explain. Thank you!

We had a great week of snowmobiling out of Nikki’s Lodge on the lake in the woods. Our group of 16 guys had plenty of room to hangout comfortably, plenty of kitchen and eating space, and a great time all being together rather than renting 8 hotel rooms for the week. What a cost savings for us and was way better being together all the time. We snowmobiled out of the cabin to the groomed trails a couple of days, and trailered to Republic and Champion the other days. We had some phenomenal riding. We brought ice fishing gear for the private lake but not enough time on this trip, maybe next time we’ll fish either in summer or winter. The deer walking up to the back deck and eating out of our hands was an awesome experience as well. I would highly recommend Nikki’s place for a big group of family or friends. We will definitely be back again!

Overall, I give Bob and Linda’s lodge 5/5. It was exactly what I was looking for: an authentic off-grid UP experience. It’s clean and homey, and Bob and Linda are top notch hosts, going out of their way to make your stay a good one. If you’re looking for a great off-grid experience, this is it. However, it may not be for everyone. For example, we visited in October, and we had to heat the lodge through fireplaces as there is no central heating. I personally enjoyed that but can imagine others not wanting to deal with it. The lodge has an open concept floor plan, and I recommend guests consider sleeping arrangements carefully. While there are a ton of beds, there are few doors, and most sleeping areas don’t have one. So it may not be the best if you have people going to bed or waking up at different times.

great place and great location for our needs. place was very cute and had what we needed for a weekend of snowmobiling with the kids. great access to trails. my only dislike would be that the beds were hard but wouldn't stop me from booking again. loved the little gift bag with some local tasty treats! nice house with beautiful surroundings!

I met Richard at check in and he was extremely nice, and so helpful with best places to go in the area. Communication was fabulous! The house was absolutely spotless; it looked nicer than the photos. I particularly loved the big windows to allow the fall breeze in. It’s right next to a RV and tent campground so depending on the season there may be more noise from fans, kids, typical camping sounds. The dedicated fire pit is wonderful, the porch is so cozy, and there’s a nice mowed little yard too! Last but not least, a bed is dreamy comfy. A huge perk for me is the proximity to trails and a view of the lake. There are 2 snowshoe trails within a minute walk and the lake is just about as close but you can’t see the water from the house. A general store and MT Bohemia are within walking distance as well. I loved it :) Thank you Richard!
