Long weekend
My family enjoyed a long weekend in the Upper Peninsula with Naubinway as our home base. The drives to other locations were not too far and we enjoyed some of the local dining Naubinway had to offer. The home had beds a bathroom, and the comfort we needed. Good property!

Memorial Weekend 2023
This place was perfect for us only about 4 and a half hours from home (Metro Detroit) the place was clean and spacious, and when we were there we were only an hour away from Pictured Rocks and Mackinaw Island and we did both. The owner was very nice and answered back quickly, and the pasties were an added bonus!!

SXS Riding in eastern UP
We spent 4 days exploring trails and visiting attractions during our stay in Naubinway! This place worked great for us. Sam was awesome to work with and we appreciate that! We also enjoyed the wonderful pasties from his family business, Hiawatha Pasties. Note, our stay was made much easier being that our SXS is street legal. We highly recommend Sam’s place!!

This was a great spot centrally located to visiting different areas. Sam was a super friendly host who accommodated us in every way. We enjoyed the space and found it very comfortable. A tasty bonus were the pasties Sam added…and Hiawatha pasties are the best! Our two dachshunds came with us and the back yard was great for them. Truly a memorable vacation at this place. Thanks Sam.

Perfect spot for UP travels for a fair price
A lovely little home for the family to come back to after adventuring for the day or to stay in if you feel like relaxing. Well equipped kitchen gave us plenty of opportunity to cook our own meals. Plenty of amenities made everything comfortable for us. The fenced in area in the back allowed our dogs some freedom to run around and use the bathroom. The provided scooper and mini rake made clean up easy. The location made it very easy to access many of the places we wanted to see. Local searches showed us many other places that proved to be very fun. We will definitely be keeping this location saved if we travel to that area again. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

Snowmobile trip
Sams place worked out well for 2 couples and would easily accommodate a 3rd if needed. Plenty of space and most everything we needed. He had snacks/coffee/tea and even some of his pasties in the freezer for us. There are 2 bathrooms which was great. There are a couple bars and restaurants/pizza place that can be walked to if need be. The driveway can be kind of a tight fit for multiple vehicles and trailers when the snow is piled Up but it worked for us. Very easy to get to right off of US 2. Would stay there again. Communication with the owner was great.

Perfect mid-point
The house was great! Very well furnished, had supplies that I haven’t run across in any of my vacations! ALL soaps for kitchen and bathroom! All condiments that you would need for any kind of cooking! Great locations to restaurants! Great location to get out and see whatever you want to see! Longest drive was to Whitefish Point and it was only just over an hour! Honestly didn’t have time to do everything that we wanted to do so a second trip is in our future! Sam was a wonderful host and his pasties were great! Came home with some!

UP family get together
We traveled 11 hours for a family reunion vacation in the UP. A member of the family has a home just 2 miles west of Naubinway in the Hiawatha Club community however not enough space for all to stay. It was great to have our own house space! We were able to have some family over for breakfast that were staying at hotel across the road. My only complaint would be no actual coffee maker, French press doesn’t work for us heavy coffee drinkers-we picked one up in near by Newberry. Overall a great stay and we will be renting from Sam again, a very nice and helpful host!!

Naubinway house rental
Only complaint is that Sam needs to beef up his description of this property to brag about how great it is! It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home. It was well appointed and a good value. Location is on the main road of Naubinway, behind Hiawatha Pasties, within walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants. Easy on/off acess to the highway. Kitchen was well equipped, and Sam left us a nice selection of snacks, basic condiments, tea/coffee, and seasonings. Stackable washer dyer were also great. There was no shortage of paper goods, foil, saran wrap, etc that has been challenging at other rentals. A pasties meal was also included for each person staying at the house. Hands down best in the area. Great stay.

Really enjoyed our stay. Sam is a great host. We went to many local attractions including the snowmobile museum which we walked to from our place. Nice accommodations and located close to the Ship wreck museum and other attractions.The dog beach is just down the street. Our dogs loved the experience.

Fun place
The house was a great place to stay. The kitchen may have been short on silverware, 5 forks for 6 people, but that would be our only complaint! Sam was a fantastic Host, he went out of his way to make sure we got our pasties, opening early for us on our checkout morning so we could take some home with us! The house was very neat and clean, it was a great place to come back to each day after our site seeing tours. We enjoyed campfires at night and barbecuing on the deck, weather was fantastic. A great place to relax and enjoy Michigans U.P.
