This really is a 5 star property. Unfortunately our first impression upon arrival was very disappointing: the dock had been pulled up (the tiny "beach" is ridiculous for launching our kayak), and ALL the patio furniture and even the grill were gone. 88 degrees and sunny, too hot to sit in the house (yes, the AC was gone too), and no place to sit outside! We had to contact the property manager because there was only 1 fan and it couldn't cool the entire house. We received a call back, he was incredulous there was no AC units, but then nothing until a text from the owner after 9pm saying we could leave if we wanted to. With nothing available nearby he offered a partial refund and we stuck it out. We were rewarded with 4 days of incredible sunsets, peaceful yoga on the empty patio, and eventually on the last day it cooled. The dryer works fine, BTW, just need to clean the filter first! Communication is key, and don't trust the listing: confirm what amenities are actually available!

Anniversary trip

This was the perfect location for us to site see in the entire Keweenaw peninsula. We also traveled to the Porcupine Mountains and Lake of the clouds all in a day trip. The property was beautiful, clean and modern. The sauna was the perfect ending to the day.

Charged for prior damage!

All was well until the host charged me for “pet damage” on his couch. We did not have a pet and I later found out he had some issues with prior renters that apparently I am being charged $500 for that damage. I suggest anyone staying here document with pictures the condition of the property.
