My husband and I really enjoyed our time at the house and was so relaxing....it was so beautiful to look out the bedroom sliding glass doors and see the lake and hear the waves, so tranquil....it would just make you fall asleep at night...we really missed it once we got back home...we are ready to come back already. Looking forward to doing this again next year if not before! Thanks for providing everything we needed!! It was close to everything and got to see alot of neat things like the different falls, glass bottom boat tour, which was amazing to see the shipwrecks under water.
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.

This is just two steps from Paradise. The tranquility and beauty of Lake Superior is breath-taking.Imagine waking up to the most beautiful sunrise every morning, and at night the soft splashing of the waves on the shore, lull you to the most wonderful sleep, you can imagine. This is not just a vacation resort, it is a place for all seasons, an epitiom of perfect relaxation.

10/25-27/02: This is a great place to stay! You can see the beautiful color of the trees and the lake through the many windows. It was cold & snowy outside, but you are warm and cosy inside.

Gitchee Gumee GetAway is a very comfortable and relaxing place to vacation. The fall colors were absolutely breathtaking and rushing of the waves upon the shore beat the ocean anyday. Location is ideal for a trip into Munising or AuTrain. Looking forward to snowmobile season as the trail is right there.
