I stayed here with my women’s hockey team for a weekend in March. We absolutely loved it. The main house was spacious, had many amenities, and plenty of entertainment (board games, ping pong table, dart board, tvs, etc). The guest house was pretty cool too. The host was thorough about how to access all parts of the property and was highly responsive during our stay. The property was clean and organized, which is important to me. While the drive in was a bit bumpy and long, the location was stunning being right on the lake. We had no complaints and definitely enjoyed our stay. I hope we can come back sometime in the future!

Perfect for pur Thanksgiving gathering consisting of 7 children and 13 adults! It was a cold stay, took an entire day for the house to warm up and those of us sleeping in the basement were freezing the first night (had 5 blankets on the bed) but the high while we stayed was only between 25 and 35. Plenty to do! Our kids are between 4 and 13 and had plenty to keep them entertained! Ping pong, pool, skee ball, board games!!! Awesome stay and can't wait to book again for our family!

Great house for 4 generations

The house is as pictured. We loved the two big tables to all eat together. If you have tweens or teenagers they will love the basement with all of the activities. The beach was nice. Very quiet and saw lots of deer up close. I love that they recycle. The owner was very responsive. Everything was great.

It was a great place for our families to be together. The grandkids loved walking down to Lake Superior and walking in the water and gathering rocks. They also loved the lower level with pool table and all the things to play with. It would have been nice if there had been one more shower but we worked it out. Thank you for renting it to us.
