MTU graduation stay

Perfect home base for our son’s graduation from MTU. The cottage was spotless and cozy. Location was a quick 30” trip into Houghton but far enough away from tech to avoid the congestion of a graduation weekend. Such a gem to be located right on beautiful Lake Superior. We’ve already booked a stay for next year!

You can see Lake Superior out of the side windows. The area was having a blizzard and we took a x-country route to get there. Big mistake. Taking us41 to Calumet was way better in bad weather. Very cute place. Lots of parking, snow plow service didn't come until we had already shoveled out and headed to town for the day. More and better shovels would have been appreciated.

Great location, some issues.

It was a great location and accurate description. Because the house is so remote my cell phone had no signal (which I have no issue with). My problem was the WiFi password was not listed in the welcome booklet… so I actually had to drive about 2 miles back the way I came (thank goodness not to many turns - no maps) so I could get enough of a signal to log into the VRBO app to get the password from that. (No phone signal so I couldn’t call the owners) That was very frustrating. Note: all 3 chairs and sofa are NOT comfortable… chair seats are broken and sofa had a box spring type seat that you feel the springs and box. They all look great… but have issue sitting in for any amount of time.

Great Location | Decent Home

The location is beautiful - it definitely makes me want to visit the area again. Communication and easy check in were 5 stars. Location of seeing the peaceful lake just steps from the cabin was 5 stars. Gave a couple of 3 stars due to uncomfortable furniture - this is not a place to stay in and cozy up for multiple days. Luckily, we had a lot of out and about plans; the living room had very uncomfortable chairs and couch. There was also a lot of dust under furniture (we dropped something and it rolled under the couch) & around vents/ceiling. Compared to other rentals we've stayed in, it just didn't feel as clean as it could be with more attention. Overall, the beauty of the land draws you in and I would consider staying again just for that. If there was more comfortable furniture and not as much dust, this would definitely be a 5 star, go-to U.P. rental.

Beautiful Lake Superior Shore Home

Overall, we were very happy with the property. It was extremely clean, beautifully decorated, and the location was unbeatable. The only drawback that we would mention is that the queen sized bed desparately needs a new mattress. My husband and I ended up having to sleep in separate beds to avoid rolling into each other because of the dip in the center.

Nice Getaway!

This little cabin was the perfect little getaway after a busy season for my husband and I. It was right on the lake and a great distance from town - just about 10 minutes away. Super cute, clean, and just what it looks like in the pictures. They have a few different cabins under this management in this same location so we'd love to come back and check out their other properties, too! Definitely recommend. Thanks for a great stay!

Anniversary Celebration

Enjoyed a great week with previous neighbors, both couples celebrating June anniversaries. Location is great to access all of Keweenaw Peninsula. Ate breakfast and dinner in. Kitchen and grill were very functional. Had unusual heat for June, and early onset of biting flies and mosquitoes. Cottage windows were lacking some screens and kitchen screen door needs work to keep the bugs out. Hopefully more attention will be given to this before the brunt of summer arrives. At the same time, windows all need washing. Hard to enjoy the amazing views through cloudy windows. (FYI, did not ask for these things to be done during our stay). Would stay here again. :)

Beautiful lake view stay

Very enjoyable stay. Small, cute two bedroom cottage with very clean, fresh linen and furniture. Bed and pillows in master bedroom very comfortable, no complaints from guests in bedroom with two double beds. Plenty of room around the kitchen table for games, nice assortment of games available to play. As noted in other reviews, two small cabins are directly in front of this cabin, obstructing clear lake view (we were aware of this prior to arrival), but lake view is still beautiful and very easy access to Lake Superior. Yooperlite flashlight available in cabin. We purchased an additional flashlight prior to arrival - to have 2 lights available for 4 adults. Worth purchasing a better quality light if you plan on doing some rock hunting as we did. We essentially used our light only. Property manager provided some small treats like oatmeal, snacks and coffee. Otherwise some basic cooking supplies in cabin. Town is very close and has everything available you may need. Overall, great stay with plenty of roads and shoreline for long walks. Our dog was very eager to explore the property. We did have a fire on the beach, first bundle of firewood is free, then $5 for each additional. We were unable to find the bundles on the property or lighters/matches, but there is plenty of drift wood on the beach to use. We did not contact the property manager for assistance as did not want to bother him. He was very responsive, helpful and friendly. There is also a sauna available that we did not use. Overall great stay, great location and would stay again!

Really nice little cottage just a few feet from the Lake Superior shoreline. The beds and furniture was very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies and equipment.
