Nice modern clean cabins right next to beautiful Lake Superior! Cabins have just about everything you need except food and personal items. Nice screen room, front porch and ski storage attached to cabin. We liked the little side porch to store our bikes out of the rain. The only downside: there is a day fee for guests to visit you!! and no guarantee a cabin on the beach without a 7 day reservation.

We loved the cabin. Great views of Lake Superior, lovely landscaping and attention to detail (ash containers for the grills, benches and fire rings for every cabin on the property's beach). The cabins have great windows to enjoy the Lake scenes, and screened porches. The amazing Porcupine Mountains State Park is just 5 miles down the road for world class hiking. We had never been to the area, but U think we picked the best place to stay in the area.

We rented a cabin for my husband, me and our 16 year old son for 3 nights in July 2022. The owner was very helpful before we arrived and at check-in. The cabin was super clean and stocked with what looked like brand new kitchen supplies, including a Keurig, a crockpot and an appropriate amount of dishes, utensils, etc. There were a bunch of fans available to keep the rooms cool. The beds were comfortable with nice bedding. The windows opened and shut easily. The screen porch and foot tub were nice when coming off the beach. The resort is quiet and peaceful. Everybody seemed to respect that. The sandy/rocky beach is amazing! There are benches, but bring some chairs or a blanket if you can. There is a decent amount of sandy beach, but it's Lake Superior, so there are lots of rocks. Bring water shoes of some sort. There are fire pits along the beach for open use to all renters. We shared a fire with another family and watched a beautiful sunset. Best part? Yooperlites! Bring a UV flashlight and look for glowing rocks as the sun goes down. There are also kayaks and canoes available for anyone to use for free. Please take the advice of the owners/staff when they tell you what to bring as you are miles away from a grocery store or gas station. Located only a few miles from the entrance to Porcupine Mountains State Park, so it was easy to get to hiking trailheads. Definitely a hidden gem. Skip the campgrounds and mediocre motels in the area and stay here.…

This is an Upper Peninsula Gem. The staff was very polite and helpful with places to visit in the area. The cabin is a little piece of heaven on Lake Superior. My husband and I found the cabin very clean and the bed comfortable. We stayed 5 nights and enjoyed sitting in the screened porch area at night. I swam in the Lake and found it to be refreshing for Lake Superior. It wasn't bone chilling as it can be sometimes. Our cabin wasn't directly lake front, but it was pretty darn close. None of the cabins are far from the water. I recall reading a negative review on the lodge/owners. We found more positive reviews and decided that the negative reviewer must have been just an unhappy person. We can only say we had a great experience at the Mountain View Cabins. We spoke with the management at check in/check out and they were very pleasant. Even the gentlemen that came by to pick up the garbage from our cabin each day were as nice as can be. We will definitely return again and hopefully our kids and their families will be able to join us.…

Love this place. Cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The owners communicated information prior to our stay and were readily available when needed. The beach was right out our door and Porcupine Mt just minutes away.

This is our second time staying at Mountain View Lodges and not our last. The cabins are cozy, clean, and comfortable. We slept fine, no back pain. The view from our lake side rental was stunning, especially at sunset. The bugs were present but not too bad, especially right on the beach. The hosts were wonderful, responsive, and accommodating. My kids loved looking for rocks and sea glass and playing in the sand. I do recommend netted hats and 99% deet for certain trails in the Porkies, especially those farther from the lake. They sold them at the nearby outpost restaurant/ gift shop (great gift shop btw). My only regret is not buying some tea in the on-site gift shop- which has a variety of cute jewelry and crafts. Highly recommended for a serene getaway.

We visited in the off season and had the whole place to ourselves! We took advantage of the wood burning fireplace each night which was so cozy. The resort is located super close to the Porcupine State Park, which was nice. There wasn’t staff there every day but they were available by phone/text and were very responsive. They were accommodating and we loved having a peaceful and quiet get away.

The owner of this resort need to relax there are rules for everything you do. Check out the book in your cabin You can’t have a fire in the fireplace in October. $310.00 a night for cleaning your own resort and Cobb webs in every corner, windows that you can’t see out of in the morning because they need to be replaced. The mattresses were all old and mattress topper stained. Towels that are older than me, rooms need a update. Very uncomfortable beds. I see that the owner has a smart remark for everyone’s review of her place. She should listen and take in the comments not bash you for leaving your review. She is the same in person very brass and almost rude.

We are sorry you did not enjoy your stay. We do our very best to make sure things are fresh and clean for each guest’s arrival. You are correct, we do provide a book of information and expectations. Most of our guests are grateful for the clarity this provides. The book has been compiled from questions and experiences that have occurred. We do replace towels on a regular basis, we are unaware of the window issues you mentioned and we do know the beds are not for everyone, but firm still wins out over soft and saggy. We do send emails asking for information, suggestions or problems that occur during your stay. You didn’t send anything in response to our emails So, this review is the first we are hearing about any issue with the cabin. It is always more helpful to be made aware of a problem at the time it happens. We would have been happy to give you different towels if you didn’t like to ones you had, dust up any cobwebs we missed, etc. As for the fireplaces, this year has been unseasonably warm which precluded us from having the fireplaces open yet. And I want to apologize for whatever I said that came across as rude. Since that is definitely not my intention, and I don’t recall being rude to anyone, I can only assume I must have been having a bad day. So I am very sorry I came across anything other than welcoming.

We spent 2 nights in September. We arrived late the first night after a stunningly hot 88 degree day, unheard of in September in the UP. We were delighted to find the well-shaded cabin a pleasant temperature after having been prepared for a sweat lodge. The cabin was lovely, roomy, well-appointed with a screened porch and outside deck. The cabins are close together but not crowded. The grounds are attractive and the beach, in a bay, much more sandy than I had expected for Lk Superior. We enjoyed our stay.
