“WOW!!! Adam, the owner, is a phenomenal guy. First and foremost, i need to say that he alone would draw me back to this place due to the ease of communication as well as generous hospitality. I cannot say enough about Adam and his customer service. Secondly....these places are wonderful! The cabins are clean, contain pretty much everything you'd need for a getaway, and are in a great location. The sunset views are incredible and the views in general are great. The fire pits are spread throughout the property and you can choose which location you want to have your fires on any given day. Nearby there was good food at the Shipwreck bar and at Tally Ho BBQ. I wouldn't think twice about lodging here, i will absolutely be back down the road.”

“We enjoyed our stay at the resort. The cabin was clean, cozy and had everything needed. The boat rental at yhe restt was very convenient. They were very responsive and accommodated our early check in request. Thank you!”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Elk House. It was clean and updated. Owners are quick to respond if you need them. They left the paddle boat out for us even though it was a little late in season (late October) for it. We took it out every morning to go fishing and caught a few really impressive bass and pike (one smallmouth bass measured 20" -- just one inch short of a Master Angler patch from the DNR). Curtis is a small town, not much to do in the off season, but the locals are friendly and The Shipwreck has some really good fried fish. Would definitely visit again.”

“My family of 13 (and all of our dogs!) rented the whole resort for the week and we couldn’t have had a better time! We had ages 2 to 80 years and everyone loved it so much. We did the pontoon rental which was a nice add on for fishing and swimming. We had a few days of wind which didn’t allow for us to take the boat out much during the day but that’s just weather for ya. The kayaks and peddle boat were so much fun to have as extras and it kept the kids busy for hours. Lots of crayfish hunting too! The water is very clear and shallow which was great for the younger kids. We didn’t spend a lot of time in the cabins because the weather was so nice but they are very clean and cozy with everything you need in them. We’re already planning our next trip back next summer!”

“Trails End Resort is fun and the cottages are super clean. The resort has a couple boat hoists to use free, and the dock is one of the best I have ever seen. They also have features like a free paddle boat, kayaks, fire rings, picnic tables, swings, a fish cleaning station, and more. The owners clearly are caring. If you are looking for a beautiful, reasonably prices, high-end resort, Trails End is the best in the Upper Penninsula.”

“AWSOME. stayed at Elk House clean,comfy,cozy and clean. Most everything looked newer. Most resorts would not call, only text and email....irritating! Not here Adam was on it. Even let us check in early and leave later... 8 hours...big difference. In the middle of everything. I WILL BE BACK”

“Adam was absolutely amazing. Very customer oriented. The “Bear” cabin was clean and comfortable! Easy check in and check out. Although Mother Nature didn’t cooperate, me and my grandson had great time. Will use these cabins in the future. Thanks for making my grandson’s first trip to the UP enjoyable!!”
