Two old pals continuing their annual UP North summer fishing trip tradition, experienced a really nice week at Jim’s Lake Independence cabin. The cottage served us well and the varied (day and night) vistas visible from the covered deck were marvelous. An exceptional location offering excellent fishing as well as great sightseeing opportunities nearby. Would definitely consider a return visit! Many thanks Jim, for sharing your family treasure!
