Excellent location with great communication!
We booked this place on a whim and were hoping for the best. We talked to the owner before we arrived and had great communication along the way. We were shocked when we arrived at the beautiful home and the beautiful beach. Well stocked with anything you might need and even the extras! We were surprised with a S’more making basket that we were excited to use during our nightly campfires on the beach. We really appreciated the chairs and a table on the beach. The sunsets were our favorite part! We appreciated being able to bring our dog who felt at home as soon as we arrived. The house was extremely clean and well maintained. We’ve already said we’d love to go back! We definitely hit the jackpot with this one!

Lake retreat
This was a lovely place to stay for our family vacation. The sunsets were amazing. The beach was relaxing with the fire pit and Adirondack chairs. The house itself was very clean and well-stocked for cooking our family meals. The king-size bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. There was no air conditioning, but there were fans stored in the closets to use. The house does sit close to the road, but it wasn’t a problem. The traffic was minimal. It is quiet and peaceful.

BETTER THAN THE PICTURES
Michael is a great host. He made sure we had all the pertinent information about the property and area before we arrived. Our questions were answered promptly and fully. The property and beach were exactly as advertised. You could walk for miles on the beach in either direction. The few people we did run into turned out to be locals and were very friendly. In the house is a binder with full instructions about everything the house has to offer and instructions on how to use them. Plus the binder has info about the surrounding area and important phone numbers. Do yourself a favor and page through it the day you arrive. Phone and internet are a bit sketchy (as mentioned in his property description. WIFI is available.) at times but cable TV is fully functional with a huge selection to choose from.To sum it up we had a very pleasant stay and would highly recommend it.

Perfect for family time
This home is truly exceptional! We had a fantastic stay for MTU graduation weekend. Plenty of room for 4 young adults, parents and grandma. We enjoyed the big kitchen, the cozy fireplace, the comfy beds and especially the view. Bonfires on the beach, sunsets and stargazing made this a 5 star experience!

A stay
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the UP at this beautiful place. House had all the comforts of home while still feeling secluded for a get-away. We enjoyed walking down to the beach and couldn’t get enough of the stunning sunsets.
The four of us enjoyed a completely relaxing visit. The home was perfectly clean. The furniture was very comfortable, and we had lots of room to relax. The big kitchen was easy for cooking. The details in the home were just as attractive as in the pictures. The beach is amazing - stretching far in both directions, and it was an easy walk straight out from the house.

Love This House!
This was our second stay and we are already looking at our calendars for this coming fall and next winter for return trip! Home is set up perfectly for privacy but also for lounging together by fireplace, playing games in the kitchen/dining area, cooking and baking together! The cleaning crew had a few short hours to turn over the whole house between guests and they did a fantastic job! Can't wait to return!

This beautiful cabin will have everything you need, including a fantastic view, and path to the beach. This cabin very much felt like the owner's home, with great care taken in it's upkeep and quality of provisions. We appreciated the mudroom to hold all of our ski/winter gear, snowy boots, etc. We spent most of our time playing games at the large table, and enjoying our time with family in front of the fireplace. Beds were super comfy! We had a great family Christmas in this little piece of paradise.

A gem of a house on Lake Superior
This was an exceptional house! It has a great layout and was very comfortable for a group. The host was responsive and helpful. We especially loved the access to Lake Superior, quiet location and proximity to Houghton and Ontonagon.
We would definitely book this house again and recommend it to others.

Host sent us a very detailed message about the home with his contact information prior to check in. Home was very comfortable and the surrounding area is very scenic and saw a variety of animals. Sitting around the fire pit on the beach at the end of the days was outstanding. Enjoyed our stay.

Atlantic Mine Treasure
Communication and host response was always good. My wife and I were making a small trip though the UP of Michigan and our first stop was the Houghton area. This was a great spot to launch from. Easy access to all areas east and west along the Superior shoreline. The house is beautiful and on a the perfect sunset spot to unwind. We did not have kids with, but the beach has plenty of clean sand for children and grandchildren. Highly recommend.

Family Vacation
One word, “WONDERFUL!”
Our family picks a new location in the U.P. each summer to vacation at for a week. We were not let down with this vacation rental.
The waves and beach of Lake Superior entertained our grandchildren everyday for hours!
The house was spectacular. Beds were so comfortable, the kitchen was a dream! It was well stocked with anything we needed. The large mud room was an added touch filled with beach toys, extra chairs for the beach, and lots of beach towels!
We found this location to be convenient to many adventures.
The little Farm market (Grego’s) on Covered Road 5 minutes away was a gem!
The Chutes and Ladders park in Houghton was a sure hit! Ice cream store on the premises!!
We will forever have this place etched in our memories. As will our family!
