lake view retreat
We stayed for 1 week and it was one of the nicest places we've ever stayed. Quick and easy drive into Thunder Bay, highly recommended if you want a nice home base to go hiking or sight-seeing from

Our stay was delightful and very relaxing. The accommodation was very comfortable. We encountered a small inconvenience the first night around 11:00 and I texted my hostess and she and her husband made sure that the problem was corrected immediately. I greatly appreciated their thoughtfulness. It was unfortunate that the weather was cool and wet because the location is outstanding for enjoying nature and the out of doors.

Owner was welcoming and the spot was amazing. (the spiral stairs to the loft are a bit worn) - Probably the nicest spot you can rent on the water for the price. Thanks again Alex!!

The owner of this property takes pride in caring for the home and property. She gave us a warm invitation to enjoy the beautiful outdoors around the home. We are grateful for all the kindness we were shown.

Beautiful property with amazing views. The hosts were very helpful and accommodating. I had asked if there was an outdoor fire pit - they provided enough kindling and wood to have a fire on one of the evenings. I couldn't get the TV to work (probably operator error) so the host very kindly popped right over and got it working. While she was there, she asked if there was anything I had forgotten that they could provide. There wasn't, but I appreciated the offer. I brought my dog with me and we had fun exploring the property and the nearby parks along Lake Superior before I headed out cross country skiing. The place was immaculate and very well stocked with all the essentials. All in all, a really nice, relaxing winter get away. I would definitely go back in any season!

We made a stop for a few nights at the guest house. As soon as we walked in, it was evident that this was a going to be a great stay on our Lake Superior Circle tour. Everything was exactly as described, clean and very well equipped. Alexandra and her family were both friendly and helpful. Loved the views both day and night from the balcony. Our dog Nahla loved their two dogs.

My husband and I visited for a special anniversary and the guest house was exactly what we wanted. We felt like we were the only ones in the world. Everything was beautiful and clean and very charming. The sunset over the water was breathtaking and Alexandra was very helpful and attentive! Thank you for a stay we will never forget! We can't wait to come back!

What a beautiful spot. The pictures they post don't do it justice. I arrived late so I couldn't see the lake because it was dark. It was easy to Text Alexandra to let her know I would arrive late. I slept in the bed right by the balcony which was comfortable, but I awoke to a staggering view of the sun rising over lake Superior. I wish I could have stayed longer or had been able to enjoy this place with my Family. Great kitchen setup, lots of space, games, family and pet friendly, and the view from the balcony is really special. If this is available, I'm really not sure why anyone could book a regular hotel or stay anywhere else near Thunder Bay over staying here. Definitely will stay again.
