This home is the definition of a 5-star experience! The home is beautiful, updated and spacious! And the view and firepit are exceptional! The home was very well appointed, with a well-stocked kitchen, beach chairs and toys, amenities for the bathroom. The stairs to the beach are short and very accessible. The owners were very friendly and responsive to our questions and have an app to help make check-in and check-out easy. The app also provides tips for local sites, shops, and restaurants to help make the stay fun and easy! Would highly recommend the home and experience!!

Perfect week on the shores of Lake Superior!

Our family of 10 (6 adults, 3 teens and one 10 yo) enjoyed this wonderful home for our vacation. It was beautifully decorated, well furnished and nicely appointed. We had everything we needed. The owners were great to work with. The beach was beautiful and the weather was perfect for all 6 days/7 nights. The fire pit was our meeting place each evening. Everyone had enough space and the game room upstairs was a hit for all. A real treasure for UP family vacationers!! Many thanks!!

Relaxing and peaceful

Even as Wisconsinites, we were surprised by how much snow was still on the ground in late March. The lake was still frozen and the beach covered in snow. But the house was cozy and well supplied. The beds were probably the most comfortable I have ever slept on in a rental. It was clean and had plenty of space for the 4 of us. When it snowed for 2 days, we spent time putting together puzzles, playing board games and using the fooseball, shuffleboard and arcade games at the rental. Cooking was easy with everything provided, but be prepared to drive an hour for groceries. Most stores are still closed for the season, which we expected, but we did find some shops open in Sault Ste Marie. When the sun came out a few days into our trip, we visited the Tahquamenon State park and the upper and lower waterfalls. There was still quite a bit of snow on the trails, and feet of it near some of the observation areas. It was still a beautiful sight, though! Just beware that in the "off season" the lower falls road is closed off to cars and not maintained. It is open to foot traffic, but it is a mile walk to those trails. The snow melted a bit more a few days in and we were able to visit the beach and see the most beautiful night sky I have ever witnessed. We weren't able to see the aurora borealis, but others might have more luck! Overall, we had a pleasant stay, even with a few hiccups with checking in and the snowy drive. The owners were very responsive. We would definitely stay again!
