The house was surprisingly more amazing than we suspected. Located right on Lake Superior, we were happy with how great the home was. Close to Shipwreck Museum and tahquamenon falls, we’ll be back!

The house was spacious and the beds comfortable. The back deck sits right at the edge of Lake Superior and has pretty views. We made breakfast and some sandwiches for hiking and the kitchen was nicely stocked for that. We enjoyed the location being between Whitefish Point and Tahquemenon State Park. This is very remote with no internet service while driving. It was good to have wifi at the house. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone.

The host was very responsive and accommodating. The home was well equipped but having no air conditioning created an issue since we stayed in late July and the temperatures was in the 80s during our stay. The home had several nice fans but the road noise made it so that having windows open while sleeping was an issue. The house was a great location though and offered lovely views of Lake Superior. I would give the property a 4.5 star review overall. Great for our family of 5 with 3 kids. Thank you for a lovely stay, Nicole!

We had such a positive experience staying here! The waterfront views from the kitchen and living room were so wonderful.

We chose this property because of its proximity to tahquamenon falls and whitefish point. I was such a peaceful, well maintained, and spacious property. The views of the lake were breathtaking and we wish we had booked a longer stay we so enjoyed everything. I did notice that the only spoons in the kitchen were soup spoon size and there were only about 5 or so of those. So having enough variety of silverware for a family of 4 and not having to wash the dishes are constantly could be a subtle improvement. But if I had asked the property owners they might have addressed that right away, I just did not ask about it.
