Really enjoyed our stay in this quaint older home. Only a couple of minute walk to the beach and close to everything in the cute village of Ontonagon. House had all of the amenities we needed and was pet friendly as well. Highly recommend.
Charming clean and cozy. This place is a sweet home we have stayed at more than once and will continue ! Love the location that is close to walking to town or to the beach. If you want a small town feel than this is the place for you.
Great place for our UP adventure. Loved how close the house was to Lake Superior coastline, and the place served as a great ‘home-base’ during our activities and travels. We had 4 adults, so the bed situation was fine. Could’ve used AC during our stay given the heat, but it was peak summer. The downstairs toilet is a trip to behold. Consider this a 1.25 bathroom property :)

Cozy Cabin
We had a great stay! The home was exactly as described. It was very clean and had all of the amenities we needed and more. It was quiet and warm. I would love to stay here again. We just love Ontonogan and the UP. Easy access to the Porkies and a quick walk to Syl’s for a great breakfast and cinnamon roll! Thanks again for making it so special.

Exceptional stay!
Super cute and clean, and very well maintained. The house was stocked w everything we could need and more, w tons of little extras! The beach was so close, and town was very cozy and quaint. We enjoyed a meal at a local restaurant, and it reminded me of the old days, lots of food for a small price. Very friendly neighbors, and I cannot stress the beauty of lake superior, or the magnificent sunsets we enjoyed! Thank you so much, and we will be back again next year!
There were a few issues with cleanliness, but the owner was great to work with. Having said that the house is old and the floor upstairs is very slanted. Definitely not what we were expecting for the cost to rent.

Exceeded expectations
After 3 nights in a wonderful rental in Grand Marais we shifted to Ontonagon for 3 nights. First impression as we pulled up was so so as you are in a residential neighborhood. The house was awesome with alot of personality. The high ceilings and large rooms made for alot of space for the four of us. We frequented a few stores and restaraunts in town and were impressed by the friendliness if everyone. Be aware the restrooms are upstairs and in the basement. No issue for us. House was well stocked with everything we needed and more. Priced less than most average hotels so the price was quite unbelievable. Extra points for great commun8cations from the realator. We would come back if we head back up to the region.
We were pleased with our accommodations and pleased it was so close to the beach. We had all the necessary items for a great stay. We visited with family who live in the area and had room to spread out a little. Enjoyed a visit outside in the beautiful weather. We would stay again!
This house was perfect for what we used it for. Close to the beach, close to Porcupine Mtns and other attractions. If we go back to that area, we would stay there again!
This house had a great location for us. Short walk to a great beach on Lake Superior. Short walk to Syl’s Cafe and easy drive to the Porcupine Mountains.
Perfect for us. Clean lovely home and very quiet neighborhood. Close to restaurants downtown recommend Syl’s and within walking distance of Lake Superior beach. Plenty of towels and other amenities. Would highly recommend and hope to return!!
