Anniversary trip

This was the perfect location for us to site see in the entire Keweenaw peninsula. We also traveled to the Porcupine Mountains and Lake of the clouds all in a day trip. The property was beautiful, clean and modern. The sauna was the perfect ending to the day.

Charged for prior damage!

All was well until the host charged me for “pet damage” on his couch. We did not have a pet and I later found out he had some issues with prior renters that apparently I am being charged $500 for that damage. I suggest anyone staying here document with pictures the condition of the property.

Top of our list!

Beautiful property, set on a quiet lake. Fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, bedding, etc., we were able to relax and enjoy each others company rather than having to plan “how to” get through the day. We enjoyed nature, seeing a pair of eagles, pair of swans, great blue heron, lots of ducks, turkeys, etc. Excellent location to tour the beautiful Keewanaw peninsula while visiting our son at MI Tech. We will definitely keep this one in our list for return visits.

Very nice cabin in a beautiful location

The owner was extremely helpful. We had one small issue and he had someone there to fix it in under 30 minutes. The cabin is everything it’s advertised to be. If you choose to stay there you will not be disappointed!!!!!
