Perfect for home base when exploring the area

Its not a bad place but needs finishing in a few areas. The fireplace remotes didnt work, but during our stay didnt really need it. Check in was easy, area is quite. We had a blast checking out everything the area had to offer and this place made it easy to get some rest for the next adventure.

Black Pearl in Paradise

Very nice property that hit all our needs for a Fourth of July holiday. Wish we had more time to chill at the property. This place was all set up for meal prep with spices, oils, condiments and excellent equipment. Even a fire pit and grill!

This is a basic but functional unit, with a fridge/stove/dishwasher/outdoor grill, and cooking/eating basics. We stayed for one night. The location is excellent if your destination is Taquamenon Falls or the Whitefish Bay area. We especially liked the ease of self check-in as well as the fire pit and chairs in the back. We would have liked a sliding screen door for the back door-wall (in addition to the sliding glass door) so that we could leave both front windows (which have screens) and the rear door-wall open for better air circulation (as the unit has no A/C). We would stay again.

Adventure Paradise

We had a blast up in Paradise. The Black Pearl is centrally located to ORV Trails, Tahquamenon Falls, White Fish Point, Crisp Point and various other adventures. It was nice to arrive to a clean and neat place that provided all the amenities you may need. The BP also had a fire pit with chairs for those s’mores. Right down the road was an awesome Breakfast place and there was another great dinner spot in town. If you are looking for a nice place to lay your head after your adventures, this is the place to book. Lastly, the Owners were extremely communicative and answered all questions. Two thumbs up.
