The cottage was neat and tidy and comfortable! We felt quite at home. The road was too close for us to feel that our pets were safe. I didn’t realize the road was only 10 feet away from the front door. That was the only downfall to our stay. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

Cute & cozy small house on the water - everything is very cute and decorated well. The house is small and cozy. The location is right on the water with beautiful views of Lake Superior. It is close to the road and road traffic can be heard, but fans help mitigate the sound. The property manager was friendly and helpful. This is a modular home so has all pocket doors that do not shut fully and cannot lock. This was really the only issue or con we found of house. Great location, near Whitefish Pt, Paradise shops and Tahquamenon Falls.

Comfortable home to host a family. Clean. Friendly host. Lake view. Host provided shampoo, conditioner, body soap, dish soap, laundry detergent. Exceeded expectations. Not a abundance of lawn space, home is nestled between the road and the lake, but plenty of room to sit outside around fire pit or on the deck.

We had such a positive experience staying here! The waterfront views from the kitchen and living room were so wonderful. The central location to so many rock beaches and hiking trails made this a perfect getaway for my husband, me, and our dog! The property was very clean and communication with the owners was great! Highly recommend!

Was descibed as havjng A/C but does not. It was very warm when we were visiting and could have used it. Property mgr was inside upon our arrival, check in was 4pm. She returned 2 more times to bring linens and firewood, last visit was about 10pm. Next day at breakfast, 10am, they were out cutting the lawn at the unit next door. Def no privacy, but beautiful area and view of the lake. MOSQUITO HEAVEN JUNE/JULY!

Gorgeous view fosters a restful and relaxing respite.

The abundance of big windows facing north and east bring in oodles of natural light and offer a fantastic vista of Lake Superior! The property’s new windows mean that good screens keep the mosquitoes outside while allowing for fresh air to flow inside. The place is spacious and well appointed with convenience items like shampoo and rinse, washer & dryer, etc …
