Perfect for family time

This home is truly exceptional! We had a fantastic stay for MTU graduation weekend. Plenty of room for 4 young adults, parents and grandma. We enjoyed the big kitchen, the cozy fireplace, the comfy beds and especially the view. Bonfires on the beach, sunsets and stargazing made this a 5 star experience!

Lake retreat

This was a lovely place to stay for our family vacation. The sunsets were amazing. The beach was relaxing with the fire pit and Adirondack chairs. The house itself was very clean and well-stocked for cooking our family meals. The king-size bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. There was no air conditioning, but there were fans stored in the closets to use. The house does sit close to the road, but it wasn’t a problem. The traffic was minimal. It is quiet and peaceful.

Excellent location with great communication!

We booked this place on a whim and were hoping for the best. We talked to the owner before we arrived and had great communication along the way. We were shocked when we arrived at the beautiful home and the beautiful beach. Well stocked with anything you might need and even the extras! We were surprised with a S’more making basket that we were excited to use during our nightly campfires on the beach. We really appreciated the chairs and a table on the beach. The sunsets were our favorite part! We appreciated being able to bring our dog who felt at home as soon as we arrived. The house was extremely clean and well maintained. We’ve already said we’d love to go back! We definitely hit the jackpot with this one!

A gem of a house on Lake Superior

This was an exceptional house! It has a great layout and was very comfortable for a group. The host was responsive and helpful. We especially loved the access to Lake Superior, quiet location and proximity to Houghton and Ontonagon. We would definitely book this house again and recommend it to others.
