Our host was very accommodating and the house was so lovely. Much better than any hotel! The extra space for the kids and games were a bonus. We really enjoyed playing the Lake Superior Go fish before we went and explored! We went to the beach nearby and rode the ferry to Madeline Island. I also was surprised at Copper Falls with an engagement to my long time boyfriend! I'll never forget our stay here!

My sisters and I (all in our 50's) took our 1st ever sisters trip to hike parks with waterfalls. We drove 5 to 7 hours to stay at this beautiful property. It was peaceful, comfortable, and the center of our adventures. The host was easy to communicate with and even gave us several local suggestions of activities going on during our time here. Definitely one of the best hosts I have ever had the pleasure of renting from in my travels. Definitely will be recommending her to my friends!

We were very impressed with this VRBO, it was one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. Everything was immaculately clean, the host was very helpful and in communication, and there were lots of nice touches to make our stay enjoyable. We loved the fire pit and enjoyed our s'mores while there! Definitely five stars!
