Nice view, quiet part of town, walk across the street to a sandy beach. Close to restaurants and groceries. Many updates, well kept, nice bathroom, bedrooms are a little small. We liked it very much.
Perfect place. Walk right across the street to the beach, next door to the cutest diner, across from the friendliest toy store. My kids were in heaven. Quiet place, very clean, and decorated nicely. It felt very homey.
This was our favorite place during our trip. The house has an amazing front porch that you could spend hours on. Right next door is a diner. The smoothie/coffee place was within walking distance. The beach wasn’t very crowded. I would recommend this stay to anyone contemplating it.
The location more than made up for the property's shortcomings since it's a short walk to the cute downtown and the spacious beach where you can see sunsets and hunt for rocks. It's also a short drive from waterfalls and beach trails.The porch has a partial view of Lake Superior and is a highlight, but the bedrooms are so small there is only room for a queen bed and nightstands. No dressers or space to open suitcases. In one bedroom, we had to tilt the bed in order to open and close the door. The inside is a little cramped and isn't as turned out as it looks in the photos. There is no dishwasher and only one bathroom, which does have storage space for everyone's toiletries. But the inconveniences were minor, and we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
