The house was set up perfect for our group of 5. More than enough room so everyone had their own space. The bear mount in the living room was a unique touch. Loved the windows looking out to Lake Superior!

We had a great time eating and drinking by the fire. Hiking the porkies during the day, and took a day trip to Houghton. The house was a welcome sight every time we came back to it. The view and the house were great, very spacious, we had 8 of us in the kitchen a lot and didn’t seem crowded. Jason was responsive and we appreciated the stay. Would stay here again

This home is great. Good communication with host. This might be silly but you might want to consider bringing tin foil and Ziplock baggies if you use those items often. We did not find those items. Not a deal breaker by any means, just a heads up. Would recommend this home for sure.

Fabulous rental

This rental was Amazing! Tasteful decor, super clean, easy to find, private. The big lake as our scenery was the highlight. We had miles of sandy beach to explore. All that and pet friendly to top it off. We will be back to the Lake House again!

Western UP

The Lake House is even more beautiful than the pictures depicted. We explored water falls and beaches from Ironwood to Copper Harbor, The Lake House made a perfect base, and a treat to come back to each day! Looking forward to our next visit!

Peaceful Getaway

Beautiful property right on Lake Superior. Convenient to the Porcupine Mountains and to Ontonagon but set back far enough to be quiet and isolated. Lots of room, good internet, and plenty of amenities. Host was very easy to work with and communicative. Highly recommend.

Lovely house Awesome view WOW

The house was more than you could ask for. Jason always responded promptly. The view was amazing. Too bad the area does not recycle. It will be very hard to find a better place.

Great stay at the Lake House

This was our 2nd stay at the Lake House since Fall 2019. It is a wonderful home with plenty of space to relax and has great views of Lake Superior from every seat in the house. Jason is a great host and makes everything easy with the check-in / check-out process and is always quick to help with any questions. Really enjoyed our stay and wish it would have been longer. Hope to visit again one day. We highly recommend the Lake House as a spot to stay if you are vacationing in the Ontonagon area!

Amazing House and Location

Beautiful large home on Lake Superior with many amenities. Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The lake view and lake access are wonderful. The rooms offer plenty of areas for activities. Attached garage was nice. We had a snowstorm and watched the scenery go from bare ground to snow-covered! The kitchen was very nice for a large group. A few more kitchen utensils, baking sheets and silverware would be a suggestion. Owner quickly answered any messages we sent! A great stay and would recommend!
