Sandra, fall in the UP is extraordinary. Noc's Landing is positioned on 5 acres of land on Little Bay De Noc. When we have repeat guests such as yourself, we know we have a winner. We look forward to your next stay!

Kara, we would love to have you come back to Nocs Landing. This is the place to go to totally disconnect. There is no WIFI or satellite TV to distract you, and the cottage is situated on 5 acres on the west side of the Stonington Peninsula in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. This is a dated, rustic but quaint cottage.
