We had such a positive experience staying here! The waterfront views from the kitchen and living room were so wonderful. The central location to so many rock beaches and hiking trails made this a perfect getaway for my husband, me, and our dog! The property was very clean and communication with the owners was great! Highly recommend!

I was completely over-whelmed at the beautiful sunrises and sunsets! The location is just perfect. We loved the house and how it was right on the water. I really wish we had planned to stay more than just 2 nights!

Thank you, Dana. We hope you come back and visit. We enjoyed hosting you.
The cottage was neat and tidy and comfortable! We felt quite at home. The road was too close for us to feel that our pets were safe. I didn’t realize the road was only 10 feet away from the front door. That was the only downfall to our stay. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

Comfortable home to host a family. Clean. Friendly host. Lake view. Host provided shampoo, conditioner, body soap, dish soap, laundry detergent. Exceeded expectations. Not a abundance of lawn space, home is nestled between the road and the lake, but plenty of room to sit outside around fire pit or on the deck.

I appreciate your kind words about the space and the outdoor areas — we love the cozy setting between the road and lake as well. You’re always welcome back anytime!
Awesome spot right on Lake Superior very close to Tahquamenon. Communication was great and check in was a breeze. Plenty of space for our family of 4. The kids had a blast in the 2-3 feet of snow. We’ll be back!
This house was super clean ans a perfect stay for our group of 6 adults. Close to snowmobile trails for us to easily access and gas station/bars only about a mile away. We had a minor run in with the kitchen sink not working but the host had someone out right away to fix the issue. We would definitely stay here again. :)

It was a very nice place. Comfortable and relaxing. Easy to find. I would stay here again. Only complaint was the step from sunroom to kitchen was pretty uneven for me and I had problems tripping on it. Very nice view New owners super friendly

Thank you, Karla, for bringing that to our attention, and we will have one of our maintenance staff take a look at this.
Gorgeous view fosters a restful and relaxing respite.
The abundance of big windows facing north and east bring in oodles of natural light and offer a fantastic vista of Lake Superior! The property’s new windows mean that good screens keep the mosquitoes outside while allowing for fresh air to flow inside. The place is spacious and well appointed with convenience items like shampoo and rinse, washer & dryer, etc …

Cute & cozy small house on the water - everything is very cute and decorated well. The house is small and cozy. The location is right on the water with beautiful views of Lake Superior. It is close to the road and road traffic can be heard, but fans help mitigate the sound. The property manager was friendly and helpful. This is a modular home so has all pocket doors that do not shut fully and cannot lock. This was really the only issue or con we found of house. Great location, near Whitefish Pt, Paradise shops and Tahquamenon Falls.
