We had an unforgettable time. The house was perfect: clean, cozy, and well-stocked with everything we needed. The location was peaceful but still close to the waterfalls and other sights.The real magic happened the morning we were leaving. We woke up to fresh snow, and the cabin and lake looked absolutely beautiful. It felt like a winter wonderland.The host was great, and it’s clear the cabin is well cared for and loved. Highly recommend for a relaxing and scenic getaway, especially in the winter.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Perch! The atmosphere was warm, comfortable and inviting both inside and outside the cabin! The view of the lake from the deck, fire pit, kayaking, nearby hiking trails and restaurants were a bonus! We highly recommend staying at The Perch!

We had an incredible time at the Perch cabin! The view was truly spectacular—sunsets on the lake were unforgettable. The house was spotless and stocked with every amenity we could possibly need, making it feel like a true home away from home. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax and recharge. Highly recommend!

The home was beautiful and the hosting company was very communicative and helpful. Many thoughtful touches around the cabin, and the location feels peaceful and remote while still being close to lots of daytime activities. A perfect up north getaway!

An amazing cabin on Town Lake!
We had a perfect time at the Perch. It is one of those VRBOs that you can tell is loved and used by its owners. So thoughtfully decorated and beautifully maintained. Town Lake was beautiful, warm, and fun too. Including kayaks for use was really nice. Highly recommend.

Could not have asked for a better spot for our group visiting the pictured rocks. Close enough to everything we wanted to do and also felt away from it all when we wanted to reset. I’ve been visiting the UP for 20 years and have not stayed in a better appointed cabin. Perfect views and beautiful place.

Family U.P. Waterfall & Lighthouse Tour
We used The Perch as our base as we took day trips to different waterfalls and lighthouses. This home was well-stocked, comfortable, decorated nicely in a serene atmosphere. We enjoyed kayaking the lake, and relaxing on the deck overlooking the lake. We appreciated the little extras that were waiting for us - cinnamon raisin bread, coffee, creamers, and jam. My group commented that this is one of the nicest - if not the nicest - VRBO we've rented!
One thing that was difficult was the actual address to be able to get accurate directions downloaded before booking. Lisa was great to let us know that VRBO was not positioned accurately on the website, but I still had trouble finding the residence with the address provided. She had a very good description of surrounding businesses that helped us zero in.
We would definitely rent this property again!
