We were very happy with our stay here. It was very well stocked with lots of extra towels, etc., and the kitchen had everything we needed--including a tray of condiment packages in the fridge! Beds were very comfortable, and we loved the location right next to the rail trail, park, and lake. Check-in and communication with the hosts was easy, and we would definitely stay here again.

This is a great option when staying in the Keweenaw. This property is clean and a great size for our family of four. Our one and only criticism would be the mattresses, they are very hard and uncomfortable.

A great place for family.

We had a sister reunion, and this was the perfect place. Plenty of room for the 5 of us. The kitchen was stocked pretty well with utensils, pots and pans, along with place settings, etc. The location was great. The view was awesome of the Bay and the walking trail was nice. We will definitely stay again.

Great place for families

This is a nice property for families. The beach and playground and right outside and even with the crowds from Strawberry Festival it was quiet inside. The layout is great and gives everyone their own space. Really convenient check in and check out and very minimal tasks to complete prior to leaving. The finishes also made it super easy to clean up after our kids.

Awesome modern property!

We’ve stayed at this property before, just a different unit. We were excited to find this unit because we were previously told this property was being changed to long term rentals. Always love this property because the units are like new, modern, and always clean. We hope to stay here again next year when we come for our annual trip!
