This cottage was exactly as described. Modern in all the right places (appliances, bathroom, heating, ceiling fans) and historic charm everywhere else. The furnishings were authentic—not Ikea like most other rentals use. Best of all was the proximity to Lake Superior and the little downtown area. I did both every day. I traveled solo but a family would be comfortable here. There’s plenty of indoor and outdoor space. Don’t hesitate—rent it!

This place was perfect. Right on the beach, which is a very private access point. Wooded area shields the wind and sand blowing in off the lake. Fire pit out back under the trees couldn't be better. Stars are amazing. House is perfect. Not missing a thing!! For us it was much better than some of the rustic cabin resorts near by that I almost booked before i saw this place. Thanks for a very memorable stay!!

What a great review by Todd!!! You said it so beautifully. I don’t think I can say anything more about the lovely home, by the beach location, and privacy of the house that we offer to our guests. I’m very pleased that we have created a memorable stay for you.

This location was awesome. Literally steps from the beach. The only drawback is that the 3rd bedroom listed is almost unusable because it’s in a dark corner of the basement. I LOVED the top level bedroom and bathroom. The basement bedroom was the only surprise of our stay.

I am so sorry for the confusion. In the description of the property, we describe that the third bedroom was the front porch which can be turned into a bedroom. The couch can be converted to a size bed. I also sent a welcome not to let me know if anything we can do to make your stay more pleasant. We didn’t hear anything back so we thought everything went well.
