The house was beautiful & spotless! The set up fit our needs with my husband & myself plus two grown daughters with their families. We included three young children, ages 4 & two 2 year olds. We appreciated the infant furniture/dishes & the picture books were wonderful! Thank you for a lovely vacation at your summer home!

Nice place

We enjoyed our well long stay - it was a very nice property! We do wish the main master bedroom would have had the same mattress topper that the downstairs beds have - it was pretty firm. Again, a very nice property with a great view!

Phenomenal stay

This property is so clean, from bedding to the kitchen. The rooms are large and comfortable. The yard is great and the doc works perfect to fish from or have a boat. We loved everything about this property.

Beautiful Location, Lovely Home

The lake views/access are wonderful, and the home itself is warm and charming. We found it easy to drive to town for entertainment and shopping. We only had a couple of small issues, which may not affect every renter. We have a number of allergy sufferers in our group, and we could not avoid dog hair - on rugs, blankets, etc. It clung to our clothes. Again, this may not be an issue for many. We also experienced the Swimmer's Itch from the lake that the owner thankfully explained in their very thorough binder of information and rules. If either of these are concerns for your family, just pack some Benadryl! The only other hiccup was that the Vrbo listing says Check-In is at 3 PM and Checkout is at 10 AM. My reservation also said this. However communication from the owner said Check-In at 4 PM and Checkout at 9 AM - and the cleaners were there waiting for us to get out at 9 AM, so that was kind of a bummer. Hopefully the Vrbo listing will be updated by the time of this review, so there's no future confusion. We really did enjoy staying there. It's a beautiful home.

Up Norte Doesn't Disappoint!

LOVED this place! I grew up about an hour away from Phelps and Eagle River and we wanted a place on the water to get the fam together for a long weekend...just a 20 minute ride away from Eagle River, Up Norte felt like we were remote in all the best ways!! The property is stunning and the small town and convenience store had all the charm you'd hope from a small town. The property manager was extremely helpful as was everyone we interacted with during our stay from the boat rental to the waterfront gas station Highly recommend...just not on a week that conflicts with our next stay 😉

Great host and very clean home

Cathy was a great host to deal with. The home was gorgeous and clean. After settling in it was like you owned it. Very relaxing. And for snowmobiling the access is exactly what you want .
