Great home for a U.P. getaway. Right on the water and 1 hr from Copper Harbor and Porcupine Mountains. Clean, great water pressure, had everything we needed. Loved the kayaks and sitting on the porch. Easy drive into town for dinner, or staying back and cooking. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Cozy lakeside cottage

We rented this cottage while visiting our son at Michigan Tech. Clean, cozy, cute! The lake was so peaceful and relaxing to look at while sitting in the rocking chairs drinking coffee and also having a small bonfire. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful location

We had a fantastic stay at this VRBO! The property was exactly as described—clean, well-stocked, and super comfortable. The location was perfect, close to everything we wanted to explore but still quiet and peaceful. The host was incredibly responsive and made the check-in process seamless. We really appreciated the little touches that made it feel like home. Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway
