The cottage was neat and tidy and comfortable! We felt quite at home. The road was too close for us to feel that our pets were safe. I didn’t realize the road was only 10 feet away from the front door. That was the only downfall to our stay. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

Awesome spot right on Lake Superior very close to Tahquamenon. Communication was great and check in was a breeze. Plenty of space for our family of 4. The kids had a blast in the 2-3 feet of snow. We’ll be back!

Winter weekend getaway

This house was super clean ans a perfect stay for our group of 6 adults. Close to snowmobile trails for us to easily access and gas station/bars only about a mile away. We had a minor run in with the kitchen sink not working but the host had someone out right away to fix the issue. We would definitely stay here again. :)

Comfortable home to host a family. Clean. Friendly host. Lake view. Host provided shampoo, conditioner, body soap, dish soap, laundry detergent. Exceeded expectations. Not a abundance of lawn space, home is nestled between the road and the lake, but plenty of room to sit outside around fire pit or on the deck.

Gorgeous view fosters a restful and relaxing respite.

The abundance of big windows facing north and east bring in oodles of natural light and offer a fantastic vista of Lake Superior! The property’s new windows mean that good screens keep the mosquitoes outside while allowing for fresh air to flow inside. The place is spacious and well appointed with convenience items like shampoo and rinse, washer & dryer, etc …
