See our website. lakesuperiorrental.com TIME TO BOOK A Spring VACATION

It’s time to book your spring stay at Järven Hytti. After hiking the Porkies you will be getting cozy in front of the fire, what more beautiful place to spend a spring hiatus than the UP? For a limited time we are offering special rates in May. VRBO. A time you , friends and family won’t forget.

See our website for more information and links to all sorts of sites and activities nearby:
Www.lakesuperiorrental.com. You won’t be disappointed.

Nestled on the southern shore of Lake Superior, Jarven Hytti is a luxury experience at an affordable price. The private setting provides beautiful views of the lake and its pink-sand agate beach. Not your typical north woods cabin, the architect-inspired Finnish style beach house is spectacular. It comfortably sleeps 8 persons. And, the two modern ,tidy bathrooms comfortably accommodate its guests. A modern, fully-equipped kitchen , a large family room with a stone fireplace, comfortable bedrooms and fireplace on the deck all add to the cozy , functional, vacation home. Luxury linens and native dwarf lake irises round out a truly wonderful getaway setting. Off the beaten track, near the Porcupine Mountain Wilderness/ , Jarven Hytti is the perfect base camp for your upper peninsula / Lake Superior adventure. Spring and summer . Get cozy in front of the fire.

SUSTAINABILITY, THE WETLAND AND THE SHORE
JärvenHytti was designed with the input and approval of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and the Army Corps of Engineers. Every effort has been made to protect the adjacent wetland ( with its natural flora and fauna ) and the shoreline.

DOGS WELCOME. BUT, PLEASE REMEMBER THE DOG FEE. IT REALLY DOES REQUIRE MORE CLEANING TO MAKE JÄRVEN HYTTI SPIC ‘N SPAN FOR THE NEXT GUESTS.

Occasionally renters ask “why an additional nightly charge for each guest over the first two?” We are sure you understand , as with any household, additional residents add to the costs of operation. Scavenger services( charged by-the-bag), septic service( more pumping) ,laundry (sheets and towels) , utilities ( water, electricity) , cleaning services, general wear-and-tear and other overheads increase with the number of occupants. While most rentals are to groups of two, it would be unfair to price the basic nightly rate to prorate the additional costs associated with larger-group stays. Thank you for understanding.

Amazing, beautiful stay. Was so close to everything we wanted to do at Porcupine and the scenery coming off the beach patio was the cherry on top. After busy days, to be able to come back, relax, kick up the fire place with comfort and all the things we needed. Thank you so much and we would absolutely come back if ever in the area again!

Extraordinary property. Beautifully designed and maintained. Location perfect for exploring Porcupine Mt State Park. Lovely beach for swimming and rock hounding. (For you geology buffs, we saw examples Omars and Oolitic jasper- glacial erratics from Hudson Bay’s Belcher islands.)We enjoyed both indoor and outdoor fireplaces but would have appreciated brief instructions re: need to ignite pilot lights which we did eventually figure out. Thank you for sharing this amazing home!

This place is fantastic! Just steps from the beach. The pictures look like its on a hill, but it's just a short stairway then a broadwalk to beach and deck area. We used the fireplace and loved that our pooch could accompany us. The water is so clean! Walked the beach daily.

We enjoyed our stay at this VRBO more than any other that we've ever stayed at. The house was immaculate, as well as the decks, both on the house and at the beach. We especially enjoyed the fireplace on the cool days and evenings. We spent the week beachcombing for rocks and driftwood, exploring the Porky's, Agate and Bond Falls, and highly recommend touring the Ontonagon lighthouse. Perfect To Get Away With Friends!

This was our second time staying and we loved it just as much. The house is so thoughtfully designed and comfortable. It is clean with all the amenities needed. We love walking along the sandy beach, meals on the deck, and enjoying fires and stargazing by the lake. The house is convenient for the Porkies, waterfalls, and other sights in the area. We were sad to leave and hope to visit again!

Everything and more!

We got a later start to our day then we had hoped for so we knew we would be arriving well after the check in time. Check in was a breeze though! We had fresh homemade blueberry crepes waiting for us in the fridge to just reheat, which was a great since we didn't have a chance to do much shopping yet. We ate them for breakfast the next morning in front of the outdoor fireplace and they were delicious! They also made some sweet potato treats for our pup that he loooved! The walk to the beach was not far away from the property and filled with flowers and trees giving off the most beautifully fresh smells. The deck and firepit were at the top of the rocks going down into the beach area breaking the area up nicely incase you didn't want to get splashed, and just hangout by the firepit. Falling asleep to the waves was a huge bonus too! This was exactly what we were looking for and more. I suggest doing any grocery shopping before you get into the area because the closest store had some pretty bad reviews and the only other close option was the dollar general. Their selection wasn't bad and came in handy. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and have already suggested the property to some friends looking for a relaxing trip.
