windy and rainy
Beautiful all wood cabin -lodge. Good beds and well furnished Warm and clean. But it's not an isolated cabin in the woods. It's on the river next to several other places . Would recommend it and would use it again if in the area.

Super cozy
Everything was made easy start to finish. Matt and Holly were absolutely fantastic hosts. Someone in our party left an item behind and they were easily reachable for us to make arrangements to pick it up on the way back out of town. They were very communicative before our check in and were easy to contact. They really have made it a destination with the look of the cabin, the super comfy beds and pillows; generous amounts of bath and kitchen towels; kitchen equipped enough to cook, 2 refrigerators, extra bed linens, industrial coffee maker, outdoor seating, fire pit and a multitude of options if its a rainy day. Games, dvds, 2 huge TVs. The location was absolutely amazing! Even though we had a family next door we were able to have an intimate bonfire without feeling encroached upon. The Reel inn is definitely smaller than the wide angle photos on the Vrbo page but that didn't take away from our party of 4. Holly and Matt have definitely taken the time to make sure this property is cared for. The only bummer, which we worked around because the kitchen was stocked with pans, was that the grill wouldnt stay lit. Over all, wonderfully comfy and cozy experience. So close to EVERYTHING while feeling secluded, even eith neighbors close by. Recommend.

Great Place! Great Location! Great Host
Our annual birthday bash with our 3 daughters, son-n-laws, and 7 grandchildren has become a destination event. Over the past decade we have converged the Rockies, the Smokies, Popular Lakes, and Beaches. I feel like we can rate places with some well-rounded experience. The Reel Inn was not disappointing in the slightest! We arrived Friday late, Chilled at the lodge on Saturday and took in a canoe, kayak, paddle boat trip up to Lake Superior and back. Sunday we drove the scenic, 2-hour drive over to Mackinac Island. I recommend The Reel Inn for Families, Fishing Trips with friends, or a simple kickback week/weekend. We plan to come back to experience a winter stay as well. Matt was very responsive and timely. Great Place! Great Location! Great Host!
