EXPLORE Munising Alger Falls

Thought property would have a stove and refrigerator and freezer. It was manageable. Better communication between then and 3rd party would be beneficial

New construction cabins, which were cleanly and included all of the basics. Great location-two minutes from downtown Munising and five from the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Visitor’s Center! Very close to restaurants, breweries, and activities! They have assigned parking, which was tight for spots 112 and 113. I have a large motor vehicle and could not comfortably fit in the spot. I attempted to reach out to management about the parking but did not receive a response.

Pros: Availability, when nothing else was available in the area. Washer/dryer. Kitchen area. Sitting area. Modern and clean. Cons: Extremely expensive rate and a Very high cleaning fee. Access to front door of cabin was a little steep hill which made it awkward to carry luggage and belongings in and out. It had a 10:00 a.m. checkout which is earlier than other places we have stayed on our trips.

Cottage 210 was the perfect spot for our week long stay. The cottage came with everything we needed including 4 coffee pods (no sugar or cream), 2 laundry pods, 2 dishwasher pods, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, shampoo, conditioner,and body wash. Including firewood for the solo stove! We made dinner a few nights and the kitchen had all the utensils we needed as well. The bed was super comfortable, loved the blackout shades and sound machine. Each room including the living room had a smart TV. Convenient to log in to any app you want. The water pressure was incredible!! We stayed with our dog and the side door and yard was perfect for letting her out to do her business. Not to mention the view from the front windows was so relaxing and beautiful. Pat's food grocery store less than a mile a way has roast chicken, pre made dinners, and everything else you need. In town we loved eh! Burger and East Channel Brewimg and the wood fired pizza connected. Location is perfect to kayak and/or take a Pictured Rock tour as well as a day trip to Marquette. We highly recommend and hope to be back!!

The property was great! However, we drove in at night and none of the units were lit and the sign at the road was not lit. This made it hard to find the property. Once we were there ... it was great!!

Nice place!! No stove/oven in the house

We enjoyed our stay at this property. Parking could be a bit challenging. We preferred this accommodation for privacy and the ability to relax and make coffee and eat breakfast in the cabin. The only misunderstanding was the cleaning fee having to be handled over the phone because there is NO OFFICE at the location and the phone number was with a person at another hotel, who was managing the fee.

It was very clean and cute. The property is great - conveniently located minutes from Munising and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore even has a couple of its own hiking trails on site. Stoves for your own personal campfire are a bonus!!

Nice to walk to the waterfall nearby. Hiking trails.

Wonderful place to stay! We would absolutely return! Clean & comfortable. Great amenities including; fire pit with wood, washer/dryer, fridge, Kuerig with coffee, nice shower products, comfortable linens & towels. Very clean & easy/secure check-in.Host was responsive & friendly.

I was super happy with the whole experience at this cabin. Clean, new, and close to everything we wanted to do: hike, visit waterfalls and Lake Superior, go to the Ice Festival, and Eben Ice Caves. These being seperate units, they were super quiet. We didn't hear our neighbors at all. The windows let in the natural beauty right outside the door, and has ample windows for natural light. I read someone comment they thought the mattress was thin, i didn't find that to be true. They may have updated them, but the master bed had a thick memory foam mattress. Had a great time, and definitely will stay again.

The cabin was clean! Location to Munising is great. The property and the view is really nice. The washer/dryer in the cabin was a nice extra amenity. It was perfect place to stay for our annual girls trip. We would stay here again!

The individual studios were comfortable & clean. Also nice, quiet location.

We went up to see the pictured rocks and this looked like a great place to stay, which it was. The cabin was very clean and had great amenities. It was easy to find, and communication with them was excellent. The beds were a little hard, but not so much that it stopped us from getting good rest from all the hiking we did! The firepit and short trail to a secluded waterfall was an awesome perk!

We liked the small studio cabin enough. Modern look, bathroom was really nice. Shower didn't get very hot. If you like hot showers, this isn't the place. Upon arrival there were tech issues and our code didn't work and wifi was down. Took around 30 mins for off site staff to respond. Room was mostly clean. Fridge needed to be wiped down better and the pullout bed had sand all over it (they offered to send a housekeeper back but I'd already cleaned up). No partial refund was offered. I was told there wasn't anything they could do because we booked through Expedia and not them. When I talked to Expedia, they called Explore and Explore denied the request to do a partial refund. So it was definitely up to Explore to offer some kind of refund or upgrade for inconveniences but they declined. It's pet friendly, but not many places for your pet to do their business. All grassy or flat areas are near the cabins...they have to go potty right next to a cabin. It's a little awkward. That said, there are hiking trails on the property if you want to take your pet through them. We love hiking but it was raining during our stay. No freezer in the mini fridge. It's more like a wine fridge. Nice looking, but not exactly functional. Would have preferred a rug in the entrance (there is one outside but it's not enough) to wipe our feet. Parking areas are dirt and that was easy to track in, especially when it rained.

The unit still smelled new. It was clean. It was close to many places to eat and Wagner Falls as well. Perfect place for a nice get away

This was a last minute weekend in Oct stay! I am so glad we found EXPLORE and they had availability!! We stayed in a studio cabin. We did not use any of the provided appliances so I cannot comment on those. Place was clean! Comfortable! Shower was perfect after a long day or two of hikes! There are a couple of trails on property which came in handy after our long drive up first day ! Will stay here again !!!!

We loved the cabin. It was spotless and beautiful. The location is so close to Munising. This will be our go to place to stay when visiting!

This is a brand new beautiful cabin. I loved that there was a fire pit with some wood included. The shower was amazing! The view was amazing at sunset. The property was on a fairly busy road that you could hear traffic. There were 4 of us in the 2 bedroom cabin and there wasn’t enough seating in the sitting area without someone having to sit in the kitchen or on the floor or outside at the fire pit. The kitchen had many supplies for cooking but no baking sheets for the oven. Also the top windows in the sitting area did not have shades or anti glare coating which could be hard on the eyes to watch tv or sit in the sitting area. The location and amenities make up for these minor inconveniences. Overall an above average stay! The beds were great and there was even a noise machine in the bedroom which I appreciated!

New cabins just outside Munising on the main road. Very nice. I’m not sensitive about noise but road noise here was pretty bad.

These cabins were a fantastic place to start and end our days. They had everything we needed, were clean, and spacious. We enjoyed the on-site hiking. Know that if you’re brining more than three people you’ll want to bring extra camp chairs to sit outside.

We loved the view from our cottage. We booked a 6 person cottage and it was very clean and it provided for our needs in the kitchen and bathroom. We didn’t have road noise problems at the upper level which was great since my husband is a light sleeper. Our shower water stayed warm enough for all of us. We will definitely book again.

The unit still smelled new. It was clean. It was close to many places to eat and Wagner Falls as well. Perfect place for a nice get away

The place is way small, too small! It was nice and clean (New) the property trails were marked real good but it is winter time.ot worked idk if I’d stay again

For what is charged, I expected way better than what we got. There is no mention on their website that some cabins are about 50 yards from a highway with no sound barrier. I didn't sleep much - trucks going 55 mph felt like they were coming through the cabin. Their solution was a white noise machine in the room. No noise machine is covering that up. I feel this is something that should be disclosed up front on the website before booking and not hidden until you're awakened that first night. Also, the hot water for my shower lasted about 3 minutes - just enough time to get soap in my hair. My 5 minute shower ended in ice cold water. Same thing happened for my husband. We ended up not showering for the remainder of our stay. Despite the newness of the facilities and the pleasantness of the crew, you have to have to provide a good night's sleep and hot water to get a 5 star review from me. I am angered at what we paid for a 3 night stay with no sleep or enough hot water for showers. I will not go there again nor recommend it.

We enjoyed the amenities of suite 101, but being the closest to the highway was a bit off putting when we arrived. We would have preferred to be a bit around the bend or will consider a suite above next time. I would have liked some bedside lighting options or light dimmers of some kind in the evening. It just made it difficult if I wanted to read at night while my husband wanted to sleep. Please consider some different lighting options. We enjoyed the sky views out the upper windows at night. We also appreciated the crew that was courteous and friendly. Overall we would stay again, with some booking changes in suites.

Loved these little cabins! Modern, fresh, & new. Communication was prompt, detailed, and thorough. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. Will stay again!

Just stayed for 3 days while on a hiking trip. The property is brand new and very nice. Staff was attentive when I had a questions. The self serve check in was very easy. I slept on the pull out couch and was comfortable. My brother slept in the queen bed and said he was also comfortable. You can hear the traffic at night but it wasn’t bothersome. If you stayed in a hotel you would hear people in the hallways so this was better. We enjoyed having our own space. We also really liked having a washer and dryer as it rained a lot while we were hiking. I do wish there was a broom to sweep every day and also some paper cups in the bathroom. The paper towel was scarce too. The website mentioned they would leave you a small hiking gift but we didn’t receive that so I was a little disappointed. Check out was very simple. We did hike and see the waterfall on the property. This was worth it. They have it marked very well. I will definitely be back and would recommend this place. It is a little small so if you have more that 2-3 people I would rent the full cabin. Five stars in my book !

No hanging space. Orbitz said 3pm check in the location would not allow us in until 4pm

We enjoyed our stay at this property. Parking could be a bit challenging. We preferred this accommodation for privacy and the ability to relax and make coffee and eat breakfast in the cabin. The only misunderstanding was the cleaning fee having to be handled over the phone because there is NO OFFICE at the location and the phone number was with a person at another hotel, who was managing the fee.

Very nice property. There were a few frustrations. I am guessing the bugs (not literal) will get worked out. Do NOT try to find the property from the Hotels.com address! Wasn’t able to watch tv and the hot water heater must be really small. It is a no contact check in which is fine, however I was given a check in for 2 different cottages. The person I talked to… was her first night on the job and I was pretty frustrated. We would probably stay there again now that we know what to expect.

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE

We liked the location. Not in town, but just a short drive to all the fun!! Would definitely recommend!!

Well maintained, private and secluded but close to everything. Our 2 small dogs were comfortable, and we were able to hike and go climb frozen warefalls!

The unit still smelled new. It was clean. It was close to many places to eat and Wagner Falls as well. Perfect place for a nice get away

Very cute, close to town but quiet. Signage for the one way could have been more prominent, but overall a very nice stay

We loved the cabin. It was spotless and beautiful. The location is so close to Munising. This will be our go to place to stay when visiting!
