We loved our stay at the cottage. It was very roomy, well appointed with everything we needed (and then some) and located close to the beach in a wonderful small town.
Adorable charming cottage. Well stocked with everything we needed. Clean with super comfy beds. Easy walk to shops and cafes. Safe secure quiet neighborhood with a walking path from the lawn to the lake! Loved it!

Absolutely delightful home. Ideally situated just steps from a gorgeous beach and perfectly appointed with all the necessities. In truth, though, we spent most of our time on the nice deck and around the backyard firepit. And of course Lake Superior and the spectacular sunsets!
The property was amazingly well-stocked with necessities and kitchen ware, pantry supplies, beach accessories. The location was in close proximity to town and easily accessible to Lake Superior beach walks. The owner was easy to contact with questions. It met our needs very well.
What a comfortable and lovely cottage! Reminded us of our 100-year old family cottage in Wisconsin--and just as satisfying, as was our long beach walks. Thanks for the hospitality!
