  When my friend booked this rental she kept referring to it as a "cottage." This definitely has more of a "home" vibe. Virtually everything we needed was already in the house (cutlery, utensils, pots, pans, cleaning supplies, etc.). It's about a block and a half away from a great public park with a beautiful sand beach, and it's about 2 blocks away from the center of down town La Pointe. Air conditioning and heat worked great, beds were comfy. The property was wooded (we saw a fox run through the yard) and the house has decks on 3 sides. I would stay in this place again in a heart beat - great ammenities and location for the price!

  Recommended for: Pet owners, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, sightseeing, romantic getaway.

  Owner response: Thank you for your kind words. Your "House" is a turn of the century historic Island cottage with marks of character throughout. Since our lucky purchase late June 2010 we have upgraded much & plan on some more upgrades. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay !

  I know, in the summer months, this place will be the hub of activity and very different from my experience. But in the off season, it was a great quiet get away. Nice cottage/house, well equipped kitchen for most anything you want to cook, fun games and books available and walking distance from the ferry. Beds were comfortable, stairs were steep as other reviewers noted, tough for those without good mobility, or little children, but fine for most. Fireplace was very nice. In warmer weather, would have adored the decks all around and fire pit out back. Large back yard surrounded by woods, saw a red fox come through, relax a while then saunter back to the woods our very first night there, sweet! We parked the car, and biked every where. Not fancy, but comfortable and convenient. Good value!

  We just got back from a great weekend on Madeline Island. The cottage was great! Walking distance to everything, lots of room, comfortable beds - and an owner that genuinely wants to make your stay enjoyable. There's a deck in the back, side, and a fire pit in the back yard if you want to sit and relax. Easy walking distance from the ferry if you want to save the $$ to get your car across. Very pet friendly. Our Beagle had a great time facing off with the red squirrel in the tree. We have found our home away from home - we'll be back next year!

  Enjoyed are stay at the "Treasure House". Rental propertly was clean and accomidations met all of our expectations! House was cozy and hosted a great private back yard. Convience of location was a HUGE plus; with home being in walking distance of downtown activities and park. Owners were friendly and easy to work with. Thanks again for a fantastic adventure on the island..we hope to see you again this summer or fall!

  This house was exactly what I expected. It was clean, comfortable and quiet. The owner was very helpful and welcoming. The kitchen was nicely stocked with just the right dishes and pans. I was there during the week when Madeline Island was nice and quiet. It was a great little getaway. I would definitely recommend to others.

  I spent a night at Treasure House in October as a solo getaway from the Cities and it was just what I needed. Easy to get to, walking distance from everything, set back from main street enough to feel secluded. I took a nap in one bedroom and eventually had a great night's sleep in the other. The place was spotless, well stocked kitchen (I'll probably come back with girlfriends to take advantage of the great kitchen), and quaint. I'd probably also bring my three year old here, but may not be appropriate for younger children (steep stairs). I actually ran into the property owner in town and he was very kind and wanted to be sure my stay was just right. As to the previous review, it turns out that if you come to Madeline Island you should be prepared to revel in natural beauty (including the occasional bug) and enjoy solitude over the Four Seasons standard of lodging.

  For a mid November trip, we could not have asked for anything more. So few people were on the island and we took advantage of this by seeing pretty much everything nature has to offer. So quiet and so peaceful. There's definitely something to be said for off season getaways. Will we go again? You bet!

  We were looking for a quick weekend getaway in November knowing full well that the island is pretty "sleepy" at that time of the year. We were looking for something comfortable and affordable and found it in this cabin. For approximately the same price as a hotel room, we found a whole lot more in having a house, wonderfu deck and back yard. We did a lot of cooking and the kitchen was marvelous. The cabin was old time woodsy and made our stay memorable. Kudos!

  What a great little hangout this is. Property manager very quick and complete in response to questions and concerns. We were floored by the literally "no-stone-unturned" outfitting of this little gem of a place so close to everything in La Pointe. There's nothing left-out here - we even noticed a nifty blender with a pour spigot at the bottom for you favorite concoctions. Everything in order. What we really were looking for we received in great abundance - privacy and quiet. Both my wife an I slept later into the morning than we have in years! The island speaks for itself in both natural beauty, adventure and the unflagging hospitality of it's residents.

  We really loved this place. True it is an old house but that only adds character. Everything was in working order and the kitchen was especially well equipped. There is a very steep staircase to the bedrooms so if you are traveling with small children be sure to bring a safety gate. While there we enjoyed biking, hiking and kayaking. We also enjoyed browsing around the shops of LaPointe and visiting the quirky Tom's Burned Down Cafe (where our dog Keegan was welcome!). Had dinner at The Pub and it was excellent. Big Bay State Park has one of the prettiest beaches I have ever seen on Lake Superior and the hiking trails and boardwalk were amazing (dogs allowed on trails but not on the beach or boardwalk). Cell phone reception was good at the house and in the town. Less reliable outside of town. This property is a perfect place from which to explore the entire island or to just hang out in LaPointe. We are already planning a return trip!
