Reply #10: We rented a "house" in the UP of Michigan for a week about 20 years ago - [View All]

[Peregrine Took]

when we got there it was like something out of a "B movie" - a row of 1920's era log cabins, right on the water, each illuminated by a single dangling light bulb. No heat, even though it was still cold out. We had to scour the beach every morning for driftwood to keep the darn place heated.

The bathroom was about the size of a tiny closet - but it was indoors at least.

It was a wild and wooly place, for sure, and scary at night as we were the only ones up there that early in the year, but we remember it more vividly and with more humor than many of the fancy, schmancy places we have stayed since which all kind of meld into a blur.
