Great getaway
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed being close to the river and a little outside of town, but it was easy to get to Escanaba for groceries, etc.

We had a great stay at this property. Everything was as advertised. Close to town but far enough out to get the country feeling. We had fun exploring the UP (kayaking Pictured Rocks, hiking in the national forest, kitch-iti-kipi, Fayette historical park, and visiting countless waterfalls). Kayaking on the river and fishing were great ways to wind down the days.

Loved this house!
We had an awesome stay on the river! Phillip and Sara are so sweet and attentive to our requests! We spent a couple of days at Picture Rocks National Lakeshore and came back and kayacked,swam and relaxed! My favorite time was coffee on the deck in the mornings. The kids loved the neighborhood dogs. We would go back anytime!

Cute but too Very isolated location
The place is cute and small. The location was terrible. If you’re looking to be isolated and then the location is fine but if you want to have access to or in close proximity to restaurants and places to eat, this place would not be an ideal location. Me and my three teenagers did not feel comfortable being isolated so we only stayed there one night out of the 3 nights that I booked the place. I don’t want to have to cook while on vacation and so we left the place to go to another place closer into town where restaurants and other activities were in walking distance.

Relaxing week away
My husband and I spent almost a week at this fantastic home. The house itself had everything we needed, plenty of towels and a well stocked kitchen. They even had extra dish and laundry soap. The layout was perfect with most of the windows facing the beautiful river view. There was more then enough room for the two of us and our dog. The yard was huge with a fire pit and a dock on the river. We also enjoyed the location. It was about a ten minute drive from Escanaba, which has excellent food and a little less than 10 minutes to Gladstone which is a beautiful park with great views of the bay(Lake Michigan). The home is also closely located to Hiawatha national forest and it’s only an hour away from Lake Superior. It made for a perfect base while we explored the U.P

Great Fishing, close to Escanaba
Only 2 negatives.... The price was high for what it was, but that's the beauty of a free market. Some clean out near the dock, so you could access the water/kayaking better. Lots of positives... Having our dog with us! Being close to the state fair, as our kiddo was showing for 4H. The small mouth fishing was amazing. Kitchen has what you need! Great local restaurants, friendly community. Phil was pleasant and helpful. The neighborhood dogs are friendly, but do swipe dog toys ;) Thank you for sharing your rental home!

Peaceful setting
This was our 2nd time staying at Phil's property. He is amazing to work with and prides himself on happy visitors. We caught some nice perch, off the dock and out of the kayaks. It's always a pleasant surprise to find locations that allow dogs, and yet are still clean! All of us with furry family members appreciate the decent place to stay with our WHOLE family. The only downfall is the bed, which of course it's a personal preference, but neither of us found it comfortable at all. There are basic seasonings and dishware, which makes cooking or grilling quite convenient. If you are looking for a nice place, off the beaten path, but yet not far from a town we definitely suggest renting one of the red bridge rentals!

Riverside, quiet, beautiful home, for everyone! With everything you need…
My husband, my 9 & 10 yr old, and my German Shepard all stayed for 4 days on the property. Very quiet and convenient. New, & Comfortable stay for all. The property owners thought of everything. Bring your boat to fish on the river. Or just hit the dock to fish. We enjoyed catching and cooking fish right at the property. We also stopped at Elmers for some fresh perch to add to our fish fry.
Everything you need is very convenient. Meijer & all kinds of restaurants are 15 mins or less away.
Very clean, comfortable, NEW home! Even has firewood, grill, Wi-Fi, cable, etc. lovely getaway for the family. Would definitely come back’
Next time we would fish on the small bay at least one time (supposed to be world class fishing on the bay for walleye and smallmouth!)

Red Bridge Rentals
Staying at Phil and Sara's cottage was excellent. One of if not the best rentals we have had yet with Vrbo!! Clean, quiet, new, great view of the river. Close enough to town that running in was easy but far enough away that it was private and quiet. Phil and Sara were both also very friendly and accommodating!! We will come back again in the future!!

Great property and great host
We had to take an emergency trip to the Gladstone area and this property fit my entire family. The bunk beds were perfect for the kids and we were able to have plenty of room for a pack and play. When walking in the place still smelled like new. It was very clean and the island in the kitchen was large enough to have my siblings and parents over for dinner.

Beautiful Home
This home is perfect for people staying in the Escanaba/Gladstone area. Easy drive to the casino, golf courses, hiking trails & restaurants. The kitchen is well equipped if you want to make some meals at the house. The furniture was comfortable and the view of the river from the back porch was beautiful. Very enjoyable stay & the host was responsive.

Special Upper Peninsula Location
We really enjoyed our stay. Our trip was part business and pleasure. The house is immaculate. It was the perfect size for the two of us and our two dogs. The owners thought of everything. It was outfitted with everything you would need. The location is quiet and the porch overlooking the Escanaba River is peaceful. We hope the house is available the next time we are in the area!

Diamond on the river
My family and I had the best time at this property. 5 adults with plenty of space for a great vacation, close to so many attractions and great places to eat. We cannot wait to come back next year, this place was absolutely stunning and amazing!
