We all had a wonderful time. the days were warm and nights were great. We relaxed and also went on day trips to the falls, pictured rocks, the Soo, Shipwreck Museum, and also canoeing. The "Know Your Ships" book was valuable. It was similar to playing the license plate game with the ships. We cooked over the campfire several nights and sat our under the stars each night. Pauline allowed us to pitch a tent on the beach and we slept outside on the beach listening to the waves lap the shore. LGreat time and great place. Thank you!! PS. Water was also warm- and no bugs!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Our family really enjoyed our week here! My 4 1/2 year old had an amazing time on the beach each day during our visit. (Our daughter's 1st fistful of sand in the mouth!) The water was so calm and quiet and so warm. We had perfect weather! We had such fun watching the ships passing by, building sand castles and rock sculptures, making campfires, and enjoying the fresh fish from local vendors. We must have grilled whitefish at least 4 nights during the week. We loved taking a day trip here and there ---to the Tahquamenon Falls, Soo Locks, Oswald Bear Ranch, and to Mackinac Island. With young kids, we love that this place is close to many activities that still allowed for afternoons lounging on the beach. The cabin is well equipted and we are grateful to our lovely hosts for such a wonderful memory filled vacation. Thank you for everything!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We, parents, children, a friend of my daughter, came from Russia from Ivanovo city. We loved this place, this house. Everything is thought through, taken care of. It is very cozy and comfortable here. We only spent three days here after my daughter's wedding, but really enjoyed it. It is a nice place to relax, forget about everything and get your strength back. We would love to come back here. One day it was really warm and we had a chance to swim and use our boat. Another day it was rainy but we used that time to sit with our family around the table, play cards, games, watch movies and drink tea. We also had an impulse to have a bonfire and roasted potatoes and marshmallows. Great time! Thank you for everything, Pauline. It was great to meet you. Best wishes.Did you find this review helpful?

Pauline & George, We had a great two weeks at the cabin. It is so comfortable and the view is amazing! Spent many hours walking the beach ...even walked the beach to the lighthouse. This is a great location for many day trips...the Soo, Walking the Mackinac Bridge on Labor Day, Pictured Rocks Boat Tour, Whitefish Point Lighthouse & Shipwreck Museum, and Oswald's Black Bear Ranch (love that place!!). Went every few days to the Dancing Crane Coffee Shop. Great place, people, music! Was able to "plug-in" there, too. Found sea glass and great rocks to take home as souveniers. Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with us.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Came by to stay a night with my parents. Had a great time. Went on a few walks on the beach. Seen several freighters. Feels like home! The cabin was very nicely furnished, and had everything that you needed. Went swimming in Lake Superior. COLD, but at least I can say I did it! Will come again. Great time. A Jewel in the U.P. Thanks for the good time. Oh, JuJu the dog likes to have his belly rubbed and likes the chipmunks. Funny.... Big problem---Time goes by too fast!Did you find this review helpful?

What a nice cottage! Excellent view of Lake Superior and plenty of snow! Had no trouble finding everything we needed! Snowmobiling from the cottage to the trails wasn't easy, as the trail hook-ups were not easily found, but once on the trails-excellent riding! Took all day Saturday to ride to Drummond Island and back, but definitely worth it! Great place, great stay-Thank you to Pauline & George!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We had a wonderful weekend in this cottage! It was even nicer than described! The location is perfect, with a million dollar view! The snow was cleared and cottage heated for our arrival. Even though the owners are on the property, we had privacy and felt very at home. While we were there we visited Tahquemenon Falls and cross country skiid along the Lake Superior lakeshore at the cottage. We plan to return many times to come!Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, adventure seekers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, age 55+.

the location does not begin to offset this overpriced, poorly furnished, poorly maintained, filthy vacation rental. the furniture is comparable to garage sale leftovers; the plumbing did not work at check-in and was not working when we left early, beds and bed linens, bathroom accessories, kitchen appliances and utinsels are worn out, lacking and, in some instances, useless. the outside furniture is dirty and in need of repair or replacement. in almost every respect, this is a low quality vacation cottage.Owner response: This has been one of those unfortunate experiences of not meeting customer expectations due to circumstances beyond our control. We did have a plumbing issue that required shutting off the water for two days, and as luck would have it, supplies were hard to obtain on a weekend in the Upper Peninsula of MI. We apologized and paid for them to stay at a nearby hotel for one night. It took the next whole day to fix. Unfortunately they chose to leave early. The cabin was clean when they arrived. It was furnished as shown in the VRBO pictures they viewed when they booked it. All other reviews have been very positive. We have since updated by adding cable TV. You can please most people most of the time, but there will always be someone you can never please no matter what. We did what we could to accomodate this couple and we are very sorry they were inconvenienced. I am sad about the very negative review they posted, however I realize that they are entitled to their opinion. One positive that will come of this if that this year we will look at our property with new eyes and perhaps provide some new furniture indoors and outdoors as revenue permits. We appreciate all comments, good or bad, as they give us an opportunity to make changes that benefit all future guests and our many repeat customers.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2006
About the owner: George is a retired store owner and teacher. Pauline is retired from a State of MI job. We are in our mid-sixties and working part-time while enjoying the income from our rental units. George was born in Germany and became a US citizen in 1976. I was raised in Detroit. He and I have been together 25 years. We moved to the U.P. (Upper Peninsula of Michigan) in 1993 and became the owners of a small grocery store which we sold in 2005. We are enjoying our combined 15 grandchildren. We love living on the shores of Lake Superior in the North Country.
Why the Owner Chose Brimley:
We chose to buy this property because it is on the beautiful shores of Lake Superior and also because of the sparse population, clean air, and surrounding national forest. Our Lake Superior Beach House rental was just a run-down shack that my husband and brother renovated completely in 2006 and then added onto it in 2008 a full kitchen and master bedroom.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
The benefits we enjoy while staying
at this property is that we get to meet
such great people and show off our
beautiful pristine Upper Peninsula.
What a difference from being in the city!
