Everything we needed and more!
The cleanliness and comfort at the Ridge was top shelf! After a long day of riding we returned to a game room, a wonderful kitchen, comfortable TV areas, and a heated garage! The host responded promptly to any questions and was super organized at the house. We are looking forward to a return trip.

Great house for snowmobiling group!
Third stay at this property, and we love it. JD, the property manager, is very responsive. Heated pull-through garage is awesome.Kitchen is fully stocked, just bring full bean coffee for the coffee maker - it grinds it fresh!Beds are firm, but very comfy. Internet works best, even with 8 of us using it. Lots of parking for snowmobile trailers and vehicles. Perfect location just minutes from town, and awesome views!We'll be staying a fourth time in the future.

Great Location
We've been staying here for a couple years when there is snow in early December. JD has been great to work with over the years and has been very accommodating. I would highly recommend staying here. Perfect for snowmobiling or any other outdoor activity you may like in northern Michigan.

A gem in the middle of nowhere
We’ve stayed at this property three times and it’s beautiful, clean, accommodates big families, gorgeous view, fun amenities (game room, yard games, fire pit). Noticed cigarette butts outside but the house doesn’t smell of it. Would definitely recommend!! It’s hard to find something so nice in the Up

We couldn't believe how beautiful the house and setting were when we pulled up! Such an amazing view and beautiful home. Fun activities in the game room, plus table games and a huge yard. We were close to the beaches and hiking trails. Excellent experience.

Family going back to our father’s birthplace
With four siblings and their spouses, we converged on a beautifully appointed home in the woods! Campfires, walks, games in the large yard overlooking Lake Superior, there was so much much comfort, joy and relaxation in the house! A warm fireplace in the great room, large eating area, table big enough for all, lovely large bedrooms! The garage so big we could play cornhole! Our stay was just delightful, and we wholeheartedly recommend this home!

Great property w/ view and access
Very well maintained and clean property. Access to downtown in minutes, very quiet location with a great view. We especially enjoyed the North facing balcony with a view to the lake and Sunrise/Sunset colors. Well setup for every season and would recommend this residence for families and/or friends. Nice ski/ORV setup as well. Perfect place for all

Outstanding and Awesome View-
Well appointed, cleanliness - excellent! Enjoyed morning coffee/tea with the views of Lake Superior. The evening fires with the perfect sunsets(appreciate the stocked wood for the fire pit). Details - well thought of throughout the whole property- game room, outdoor shower, grill, coffee bar, comfortable beds. 3 generation family vacation - lifelong memories made. Hope to visit again!

Amazing location and house
The house and property are beautiful! Amazing sunset views with room for the kids to run. The house is fully furnished with no details overlooked. The game room provides a space for the kids to gather. Truly the best VRBO we have stayed at and it made a perfect setting for our family (of 14) vacation.

A Grand Stay in Grand Marais, MI
We had a wonderful Summer family vacation at this property in Grand Marais, MI. We had a total of nine people in our group, which included 4 teenagers. The house easily fit all of us and had plenty of options to keep everyone entertained. The kids really enjoyed the game room and bedroom they shared. All the beds were very comfortable, and the bathrooms had everything you need to feel at home. The owner was more than accommodating and very helpful. They gave us suggestions for places to hike, eat, and shop at that didn't disappoint. The house sits in a great spot overlooking Lake Superior and the friendly town of Grand Marais. The town has some great places to eat, drink, and shop at. The people around town were friendly and helpful as well. The sunset at the home was like none we had ever seen. We had one clear night while there that gave us unforgettable Northen Lights show (when using our camera phone filters). Au Sable lighthouse and Log Slide are a few miles away, and you're within a 1.5-hour drive to Pictured Rocks and Tahquamenon Falls. Both are worth the visit, and if going to Pictured Rocks we'd recommend viewing them by water. We hope to come back in the winter months to snowmobile through the UP and take advantage of the drive through snowmobile wing attached to the home. A Great Home on the Great Lakes with a Great owner. What more could ask for!

Great house & beautiful location!
The house was awesome! Lots of room and more than enough bedrooms/bathrooms for three couples to spend a few days together discovering the UP! We explored the area and had a great time! The fire pit and backyard are beautiful and the game room was a bonus. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us.
