Awesome Lake Superior Vacation Home With Sand Beach

This vacation home exceeded our expectations from the time we arrived, throughout our annual get together with the Michigan Backcountry SAR Team. It has ample bedrooms, large kitchen for preparing meals, meal sitting for all (2 tables of 6) and 2 living/sitting areas, one with TV and one with a fireplace, though we didn't need a fire, since it was so warm. The owners were great to deal with, would definitely consider this home again!

We loved our stay at the Hart home. This is by far the nicest VRBO home I’ve stayed in, everything you would possibly need. The owners are extremely nice, we hated to leave.

From the moment we pulled in the driveway we were in awe. The house is bigger than it appears in pictures. Once we walked in the door we were in love! From the clean, spacious, beautifully decorated home to the gorgeous view of Lake Superior. Everything we needed was provided including washer/dryer - very much appreciated. The sandy beach allowed for nice long walks with eagle sightings both directions. The kayaks and croquet were thoroughly enjoyed by our group. Outside of the property we took in Big Bay by sight seeing and eating at the Inn and tavern. We went to Munising and did the Pictured Rocks tour - worth the drive. The highlight of the trip would be the two nights of Northern Lights we were treated to. The huge windows provided inside viewing while the deck provided outside view of the lights and plenty of falling stars.

Beautiful place, location and Claudia made herself very accessible if we needed her. Thank you Claudia, for sharing your home. We made lots of memories during our stay.

Our first family vacation with all 3 families was perfectly hosted by the space provided. We loved kayaking on the sunny days, and sight-seeing on the not so sunny days. Loved the beach, deck, and fire pit. Marquette was close by for anything we forgot and there were lots of trails for 4-wheeling. The beds were comfortable, and with 6 kids along we appreciated the laundry available. Loved the historical pamphlets to learn about the area. Thank you.

While this house is beautiful and the beach is absolutely awesome, the owners are absolutely horrendous! The owners built a beautiful home for themselves but, decided to rent it without the slightest thought for the comfort of their guests, furnishing it as if it were an old cabin. The furniture in each living room consists of a very old, dirty and stinky couch. Both were too disgusting to sit on without covering them with a blanket. They boasted of a jacuzzi tub in the master bath but, the plug was broken so it was unusable. They made a really big deal about the sauna but, the door was broken so, we were unable to use it as the steam escaped. They requested that we rinse the sand off of our feet before entering the home but, the faucet leaked so badly that we couldn't leave it on with a sprayer and the handle was broken requiring pliers (which we had to borrow from the broken air conditioner) to turn it off and on. The home is advertised for sleeping up to 12 yet, we only found 5 small, thin towels and a few washcloths. I bought sponges from the local store so we could use the dish cloths as wash cloths. The bed my son used was broken and he had to pop the headboard back in place over and over. The pots and pans were barely usable. There was only one frying pan that you could actually cook with, the rest were like a child's toy, making cooking for our large group very difficult. Also the glass stove top was filthy with rings of crud around each burner. Upon our arrival, we were informed that we would have to remove the trash and there was no wood for campfires. Overall, this rental was portrayed as a high end property with lots of amenities but we did not get the quality that we expected for the price we paid. The entire home needs a very deep cleaning and the owners need to make repairs and upgrade their furnishings with the comfort of their guests in mind. To top it all off, the owners accused us of damage that we did not do. The accusations were over the top. Most of them were petty; for example, sand on the stairs, VCR cords messy, and microwave dirty even though we paid a cleaning fee. The most serious accusation was that we scratched their new floor. It did get scratched while we were there because the feet of the chairs were not properly protected. As soon as I realized one of the chairs was scratching the floor, I removed it. They filed and claim on the insurance they required us to purchase and still refused to refund our deposit.
