We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! We came to the area so I could meet with a homeowner in Brimley about listing their property, and it turned into a wonderful little work-vacation for us.The home was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. The waterfront view was absolutely beautiful, and one of our favorite parts was sitting by the water watching the freighters pass by. It never got old!The location was perfect, with easy access to everything we wanted to see and do in the area. Most importantly, it gave us a chance to slow down, relax, and enjoy some quality time together.Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. We made some great memories here and would happily stay again!

The property is wonderful The view of the river and marine traffic is not to be missed. We tracked the ships and watched all of them we could. It was agood location for the falls and whitefish point. Not to mention the interesting So locks. We especially enjoyed the gas firetable and the bathroom up and down stairs. Great stay!
