This home is the definition of a 5-star experience! The home is beautiful, updated and spacious! And the view and firepit are exceptional! The home was very well appointed, with a well-stocked kitchen, beach chairs and toys, amenities for the bathroom. The stairs to the beach are short and very accessible. The owners were very friendly and responsive to our questions and have an app to help make check-in and check-out easy. The app also provides tips for local sites, shops, and restaurants to help make the stay fun and easy! Would highly recommend the home and experience!! This property is absolutely amazing! The time we had here was far beyond our expectations. The kitchen was stocked with all the items needed for our daily meals. We will be back again, someday. C

Perfect week on the shores of Lake Superior!
Our family of 10 (6 adults, 3 teens and one 10 yo) enjoyed this wonderful home for our vacation. It was beautifully decorated, well furnished and nicely appointed. We had everything we needed. The owners were great to work with. The beach was beautiful and the weather was perfect for all 6 days/7 nights. The fire pit was our meeting place each evening. Everyone had enough space and the game room upstairs was a hit for all. A real treasure for UP family vacationers!! Many thanks!!
