Tidy, updated 1905 home in the heart of the Village of Ontonagon. At just two blocks from the beach you can hear the waves and see the lake from your front yard. Located steps from local restaurants and quaint shopping, this updated village home has it all. It’s a perfect place to explore the great outdoors without giving up any of the comfy amenities you expect. Lightning fast internet, central air, quality linens, and updated decor make this home the perfect spot to cozy up with the family and make your UP memories. Whether you are rock hunting, driftwood gathering, hiking, on a waterfall tour, boating, or skiing or snowmobiling , this is an awesome, centrally located base. You are 20 minutes from the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness Park and Ski Area, within a half hour of several waterfalls, and less than an hour from two other ski resorts. Sleeps 10 and a couple of pets very comfortably.

Home away from home

We were in Ontonagon for a funeral so it was not a happy occasion. However, the location of the house was perfect! We did not need to drive anywhere because restaurants and shops were within walking distance and the beach was at the end of the street. I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely home away from home!

Well kept home with comfortable furnishings. Great beds-so comfortable! The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook with and the dining table is really nice. It was great to be so close to Lake Superior and be able to walk to grab breakfast at Syls. The owners are very responsive and offered great suggestions. We would definitely stay again, if we are in the area.

This was a very easy place to stay with kids and dogs. The town was quaint and lovely, we enjoyed Sky’s and the ice cream shop, but nothing beats the beach!!! The house had everything we would have wanted.

Great location & great house

Had a wonderful stay with two families (including 6 under 6 year olds). The house provided a lot of really nice amenities and host communicated effectively. Located near Porcupine Mountains, the beach, and not a far drive from Copper Country. We would be happy to stay again.

Great layout for gathering together, and still have enough space to take some quiet time to yourself. A very easy walk to the beach, we loved the use of the garage, and all spaces were really well equipped for anything you might need. We all enjoyed our stay here!

My family of five spent 5 nights in this home mid-August. There was plenty of seating in the dining and living rooms. All of the beds that we used were very comfortable. The house was very clean, and it was helpful to have access to a broom and vacuum so that we could get rid of the sand that we brought in. We didn't do any indoor cooking, but there are plenty of pots and pans, plates and glasses, etc. We did use the charcoal grill and picnic table a couple of times. Location was great for walking to the beach and checking out local eateries. Good central location to the Porkies and Adventure Mine. We didn't need to speak to the owners at all, but check-in instructions were very simple.

This home had everything we needed for our yearly family vacation! Nothing was overlooked-attention to every detail! Even our dogs were welcomed with treats & toys! The house was comfortable & very clean!!! All ten of us had space & were able to cook, play games, & eat together! And that is just the house! Ontonagon was just as welcoming, from the people, the ice cream shop, and the beautiful lake! We chose to walk to the township park with a playground & beach most days-it felt like we were the only ones there as we enjoyed our happy place-Lake Superior! Julie & Bill were the most welcoming hosts & I would give TEN stars if possible!!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful, comfy home & helping our family make more UP memories!!!
