Great Location for Family Trip
The perfect hub for our family during a weekend of Keweenaw exploring and college activities. The listing was clean and as advertised; the deck view and yard access to the Portage is wonderful. Owners were easy to reach with questions, and quick to respond or offer suggestions. We would stay here again.
