Beds stiff as the floor. Moldy coffee grounds in coffee pot. No grill. Low lighting in living room. Trails sucked for atvs/utvs. No communication with host. We left 2 days early and got a hotel room in ironwood. Other than that cute house.

Thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay. We are aware that the upstairs tends to stay hot, and hopefully you were able to use the additional fan or turn on the air conditioning unit to cool things off a bit. We look forward to having you stay again in the future!

Great Home Base to Explore From!

We stayed 3 nights while we explored the Porcupine Wilderness State Park, area waterfalls, and some area lighthouses. We loved spending time on the public beach, watching the sunset (when it wasn't cloudy), and enjoying good food in Ontonagan.rerestaurants.

I loved our stay in the house. The beds were comfortable and we were able to watch TV at night after our long days of hiking. I see they are doing work outside, and I hope they'll include some outdoor furniture in addition to the folding chairs they offered. That wouldn't make this any less wonderful, the place was ship shape and cozy with all the things we needed right where we needed them.

Thank you so much for the kind words. Every time we go to the house we try to make some small improvement based on the guest feedback. We’re definitely looking into some new items for around the fire pit. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to having you stay with us again in the future.

It was a nice house to stay in, but it could have been prepared and cleaned better. The trash can inside was disgusting, and we actually went home a day early because the beds weren't super comfortable. Had to shovel snow away from the front door entryway. Seemed kind of overpriced for what we got. Not a bad house, just had higher expectations for the price, especially for a stay in the winter off-season.

From the Owner: We appreciate your mentioning that the house was nice. We were sorry to hear that we did not meet your expectations. We feel the price point, which is not set by us, is fair and a great deal for the location. - While the mattresses are new, we know that mattress preference is unique to each guest. - We have had record snowfall for the year with over 300 inches so far. We ensure the area is cleared before your arrival and plowed throughout your stay. However, we do not access the property itself while you are here so that we can maintain your privacy. We do provide shovels for your use. - We take cleanliness very seriously and will talk to the cleaner to bring the trash can to their attention and to ensure it is taken care of.

Snowy Lake Hideaway

This stay was everything me and my partner were looking for. We were looking somewhere close to the Porcupine winter sports complex and this put us just down the street! Cute, cozy, comfortable is how I would describe this stay! The town is delightful and so are its people. I would absolutely recommend this stay to anyone looking to enjoy the ski slopes. Next time we are going to snowmobile like the town recommends!

Good place if you don’t care if it’s completely clean. Plenty of grass for the fur babies. Bathroom and bedrooms are upstairs. Not good for people or kids who have a challenge with stairs. Overall, I’d stay there again.

Clean and quiet

This place is very clean. Quiet has everything you need close to the beaches close to town. The only thing that I had a problem with it was there was no driveway which is mud and grass make me throw a few rocks down for. A driveway. So not so much dirt is tracked into the house.

The house is very cute and decorated very nicely. We had one issue and the owner had someone come fix it right away. As far as cleanliness goes, this place could use a little more attention to detail when it comes to cleaning. Otherwise, it was a really cute place in a really small town.

Rainy weekend

The property was a little difficult to find as it was on an unmarked alley. The home was overall clean and well appointed. Did find clumps of dog hair while cleaning up to go. Some confusion on the online pricing. Overall not bad.

Old House vibes good for some

Our check-in was easy. We appreciated the newer washer and dryer since we were on a long trip with lots of hiking. The fridge was clean and roomy. This is not a kitchen that would be easy to cook in. There's no counter space. The kitchen had everything we needed, just no room to do it in. The stairs and wood floors were super creaky and slanted, typical of an older home. A/C window unit in one bedroom only, which saved us during the unseasonable hot weather. There were a few spiders/bugs, which I'm sure it also common in 100 year old homes. The TV worked fine and couches were comfortable. It was our only option in the area when we booked 5 months in advance, but we wouldn't stay again. The photos look cute and charming, but it's a little like Glamping.

Hi Karla, we’re glad check-in was smooth and that the washer, dryer, and roomy, clean fridge made your hiking trip more comfortable. We followed up with the homeowner, who would like to share the following:- Our home is over 100 years old and has the unique character and quirks that come with a property of that age.- While counter space is limited, there is ample room to prepare and enjoy meals.- A window A/C unit was recently added for guest comfort, even though the listing notes that A/C is not typically available, as it’s rarely hot enough to require it.Thank you for taking the time to leave a review as we work to provide a 5-star stay for future guests. We would love to host you again when you are in the area.

This was a great place to stay on my hiking trip with my dog. Walking distance to downtown and Lake Superior, and my dog loved stopping at the local ice cream shop and getting their dog treat to eat. Ontonagon is close to the Lake of the Clouds trail, while being about an hour from the Presque Isle area.The kitchen was well stocked for cooking when I wanted to make my own food. The bedrooms and bathroom were upstairs and decently sized with nice large beds, though unfortunately my dog refused to climb the stairs to join me at night. One of the bedrooms had a window cooling unit, while the other had a fan. The backyard is on the smaller size, and is not fenced, but I brought my dog's lead and he loved sniffing around, smelling the new smells. Overall it was what I was hoping for.

Thank you so much! We’re very glad you enjoyed your stay. We love to stop and grab and ice cream on the way to the lake as well. I hope the next time you visit if you didn’t adventure over across the ORV trail that you adventure over that way. There’s a lovely boardwalk that we love to walk our girls on that has all kinds of things for them to stop and sniff.
