This property is extraordinary. Gorgeous views and an amazing setting. The house is beautiful. We were there during brigefest and saw an amazing view of the fireworks. Perfectly suited for our small group, 3 adults, we each had our own areas.Definitely cannot beat views and accommodations.

Wonderful Experience

We had an amazing time at the property. Sandy, the owner, was extremely nice, attentive and communicative. Our entire group had fun enjoying the lake, dock, outside fire pits and scenery. The house is new and very well done and appointed well. We are already making plans to try to go back for another stay.

Perfect long weekend!

Our family was in town for a fall wedding and couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The custom home was very unique and homey, accommodations were perfect and the views were from a dream. Woke up one morning to fog that burned off the water by 10am. We will definitely be back!

A picture perfect Thanksgiving

This beautiful lakefront home was the setting for a Thanksgiving to remember. Our son lives in Houghton and we wanted a place that would feel like home away from home for the holiday. I especially wanted a kitchen in which I would enjoy cooking Thanksgiving dinner - it was perfect! Everything I needed, from cookware, to mixers to utensils was right there! To top it off, even the dishes for serving were lovely! The rest of the house was full of nice touches including lovely linens, towels and plush blankets. And the view is postcard worthy!!! The house itself is beautifully designed and crafted with high-end finishes in every room. In addition to everything else, the owner, Sandy, was extremely prompt and helpful whenever I had a question. Needless to say, we all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and would love to return to this home in the future!

Beautiful home and property

Everything about this place was perfect! It was cozy and relaxing and so close to MTU campus. The view from the deck was breathtaking, and we were able to see the torchlight parade and fireworks at the end of Winter Carnival. We would absolutely stay here again!

Wonderful Stay

Spent a lovely week here. I was a bit nervous about deciding on this property for our family vacation because it was still under construction when I made the booking but the host was very communicative and kept me informed along the way. She thought of everything in this graciously appointed home and we were very comfortable throughout our stay. This is a great spot as to start exploring the Keeweenaw Penisula.

Great week in the UP

Property is as advertised. Awesome for a week stay. The house was a little hard to find the first time because you cannot see it from the road, but being secluded was a great benefit. The house had everthing we needed. Overall a great rental.
