Cozy home minutes from Porcupine Mountains and Lake Superior

Come enjoy year-round fun in our newly updated 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home situated on 4 acres. A large yard and driveway provide adequate parking space for trailers. We welcome well-mannered, housebroken dogs! An outdoor fire pit with seating is provided in the summer months. Within the home, you will find a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, stove, microwave, toaster, crockpot, coffee pot/K-cup, and dishwasher. Cups, plates/bowls, and utensils are provided. There is a washer and dryer in the house for use. The home has 2 queen beds and 2 twin beds. Bed linens and towels are provided. There is a dining table that seats 6. The spacious living room has a couch, loveseat, chaise lounge, and recliner. WIFI, Amazon Firestick, Roku TV, and a DVD player are provided. At just 3 miles from the Porcupine Mountains, our location is the perfect distance for allowing you to enjoy some of the beauties Upper Michigan has to offer. In the winter, hit the slopes at the Porcupine Mountains Ski Area downhill skiing/snowboarding, XC skiing, and snowshoeing. If you prefer your skis to have motors, access snowmobile Trail #1 right from the driveway. Summer is the perfect time to explore the biking trails at the ski hill or take a hike and view the many waterfalls in the area. With public beach access less than 1/4 mile from the home, a short walk could lead to spending the day playing in the water, searching for agates, or relaxing to the sound of waves. While you wind down for the evening, take the hassle out of making dinner and grab a pizza from the Porcupine Mountains Outpost. They have delicious ice cream for dessert too or enjoy making s'mores around the outdoor fire pit back at the house. Don't forget to try your hand at Yooperlite hunting at dusk. Whatever you choose-Adventure Awaits! We hope you make many lifetime memories!

Cozy and clean

Erin was an excellent host. Stayed in contact with us when we needed it. The property has a nice yard just enough off the road. The house was very nice and clean on our arrival. My mother(78)and i are rouckhounds and my father and boyfriend put up with our rockhounding shenanigans. They all enjoyed their stay. I would definitely recommend this property.

Family trip

This is the second time we have stayed at this property, and we really like it. Though it may be dated, it is well-maintained and spotless. It has all the amenities, and the large private yard is perfect for our dog. It is also in a prime location near the Porcupine Mountains and Lake Superior fishing.

Clean and spacious accommodations close enough to Lake Superior to hear the waves and just outside Porcupine Mountains State Park. Host promptly replied to all inquiries. Pleasantly surprised by small things such as soaps and shampoos that made things more convenient.

Perfect

Everything about this property was perfect for us. The property itself is even better than the pictures make it seem, and it’s equipped with everything you would possibly need. The location is the best part, as it’s walking distance to the beach and local restaurants, as well as only a few miles from the park entrants. Would 100% stay here again.

Clean place, great location

If your plan is to hike and explore the woods and beaches of the Porcupine Mountains, this is a great location. Pros: Property was clean and well-maintained, inside and out. Plenty of space, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a large living room. Located just minutes from the Porkies, and minutes from multiple public beach options. Included housewares were sufficient. Bedding and towels were clean and adequate. Washer and dryer plus clothesline were a huge benefit. Setting was peaceful and fairly private. Outdoor fire area and lounge chairs were nice. Cons: Master bed was uncomfortable enough that we cut our stay a night short. Water heater was insufficient; posted notes around the home recommend limiting showers to 10 minutes and spreading family/guest showers out (not ideal on vacation). Toilet clogged twice (immediately upon arrival and again a few days later), with very "normal" use (and nothing in the toilet that shouldn't be!). Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. A few upgrades/updates to plumbing and beds would make this place almost perfect.
