The house was very clean! Owners provided some wonderful local coffee that we will now have to find so that we can continue to enjoy it. The kitchen was well stocked with anything that you would need to make meals in house or on the grill. The location was superb!! We walked down the beach at sunset, it was just beautiful!
Easy walk out to private beach. Charming, clean cottage.

Beautiful house!
The house was immaculate. The beds were so comfy. The house provided ample space for all of my family to get together and celebrate Easter. The kitchen was well stocked. We were able to prepare several large dinners for everyone. I loved sitting in the front room drinking morning coffee and watching ships pass on the lake. We were even able to see Isle Royale one morning.

Amazing!!!
What a beautiful property! We loved the drive out from Calumet. The house is exactly as advertised. The entry is perfect for accommodating all of our gear with the washer and dryer right there also. Wonderful gathering spots in the kitchen, dining, and living room. The fireplace made the room so cozy. We would certainly come again.

Family Vacation
My great grandparents are from Calumet. My great grandfather worked at the Quincy mine. I always enjoy when we can stay in the area and visit the old store fronts downtown, learn history etc. We brought the kids on the "lights out" tour of the mine and they had a blast. With the storm that came through one night, my mom took the kids out (okay all kids, lol) and went Yooper light hunting. My son, who is 19, said it was the best vacation yet. Thank you for the prompt reply when a family showed up at 12:45am saying they were supposed to be there instead. We had that resolved in less than 30 minutes! The prompt replies put everyone at ease. All and all, beautiful house, wonderful stay. Would love to stay there again in a few of years when we come back. ( we make the trip every 3 years). Thank you!!!

Fantastic Family Vacation
Awesome setting! My family of 11 had a fabulous time staying at this property! The house was comfortable, very inviting and clean. We arrived to find a welcoming gift of treats…so thoughtful! Calumet and the surrounding areas were filled with lots of activity for all to enjoy (treasure hunts, site seeing, beaches, picnics, parks, fishing, shopping, rock picking, hiking, ATV rentals) The cooler weather did not prevent us from swimming in the lake… so refreshing especially after a sauna! We enjoyed this property and hope to return in the future!

Perfect of Lake Superior
This home and property is so amazing! We have a large family and we fit very well in this home with plenty of beds and spacious gathering areas inside when the weather or mosquitos don’t cooperate with outdoor plans. We enjoyed a sauna and swimming every evening. The 36° water feels amazing after a hot sauna. The property is within reasonable distance of everything we wanted to see and do. When we arrived, my family decided they didn’t want to leave the property to go do anything else because it’s so beautiful. The hosts were very accommodating with our questions and changes of plans on short notice which was amazing. We will definitely be back and other family members that visited us there all agreed that they would love to rent the home too. We would love to return for a family reunion and rent all of the cottages for our family.

Wonderful with one snag
Everything was wonderful! Plenty to do and see, including hiking, ice skating, tubing, skiing, etc. Our only complaints were the 2 very poorly regulated thermostats (upstairs and downstairs). This is a very resolvable problem and will likely not be a problem for future guests/stays, but is the rationale for our 4 star review, rather than 5 stars.

Right on the shore
The little neighborhood of rental cottages was quiet while we were there, I can't say how crowded or noisy it would be in the summer. The beach is easy to access. The house is cozy. It was fine for 2 people. The upstairs bathroom is very cramped and the bathtub caulk looked moldy.

Unbelievable Views
The farmhouse was perfect for us- 4 bedrooms (all with great mattresses) and plenty of space. There is a good sized porch with lots of chairs/tables all having a view of the lake. There also are adorondeck chairs in the yard with a lake view, and are a great place to watch the sunset. The beach is enormous, and although it is shared by 1 or 2 other rentals, it stretches for at least half a mile so everyone has plenty of room. The rocks on this beach are spectacular, so it's a rock hunters dream. There are kayaks and paddle boards to rent. The kitchen had everything that you could need, even a salad spinner. The road leading to the property has a bubbling brook along it, so walks in the morning were lovely.
I would highly recommend this property- we had a blast.

Beautiful Property
The property, beach and views were great - just what we were hoping for. Kitchen was big and bedrooms were plentiful for 4 separate family units to have private space. The giant outdoor table was a nice surprise, though sturdy chairs were not easy to find. I would recommend making sure you have check-in procedures figured out before you get there, as there is not cell reception for a few miles. Property manager was easy to work with once we got back to an area with reception....and then WiFi was good once we got in the house and knew the password. I would come back.
