This place was amazing! The first 10 minutes after arriving, we were still saying “this place is so cute!” The pictures don’t do it justice. The walls are white which makes it look much brighter inside than the pictures do. The beds were comfortable and all rooms were the perfect size. The entire house was pristine. The location was great: close to Porcupine Mountains and Ontonagon. There’s a public beach close by but we also enjoyed some of the places you could park alongside the road and walk a few steps to the water. I highly recommend this place!

Good Value

This is a nice, affordable unit. Very clean and comfortable! The views are not majestic, but you won't have to travel far! The nearest laundry, despite what Google tells you, is in Ontonagon. So, grab your laundry, put it in the machine, and head to Roxey's while the wash is going.

Location!

My sister and I stayed here for our annual getaway. We wanted to explore the porcupine Mountain wilderness Park and it was the perfect location for this. The house was clean, A great layout and had plenty of room. Becca, The host was very prompt with questions we had for her. We cooked our meals in the house and had all the cookware and utensils we needed. We had bonfires and beach time (across the road), it was a wonderful trip!

30th Birthday Celebration Vacation

I took my two adult kids away for my son’s 30th to someplace he wanted to visit-Porcupine Mountains. This home is amazing in every way from the lovely outside deck to the inside cozy. We cooked together, had some drinks and just enjoyed being together. When Beeca said it’s close to the park, she want kidding! Lake of the Clouds is right down the road also. The place is away from Ontonagon but it’s a short 15 minute drive. I couldn’t have been happier with the rental and the communications I had with Becca the owner. I look forward to coming back here again !

Great for time in the Porkies

This house was a great place to stay while we were hiking in the Porkies. It was super convenient to the park. It was also clean and comfortable, including the bed we used. A great advantage for us since it was unusually hot while we were there, was a good central air system. We stayed very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking pots, etc and was the only house we rented in a multi-stop trip across the UP with a dishwasher. 1/2 bath was near bedrooms and tight, the full bath was at the other end of the house. Not super convenient but not a big deal for a short stay either. We arrived in Ontonagon a couple of hours early but were able to get in the house then. That was much appreciated. Would stay again.

Beware of the rules and ask questions before you book this place! The house is beautiful and well kept, but the “house rules” aren’t disclosed until the day before you check in, and could make your stay challenging. We were vacationing with friends who were staying at the local campground down the street and were hoping to have them over for dinner and games a couple nights after a day of exploring the Porcupine Mountains and swimming Lake Superior. The day before we checked in, the host sent me a message with check in info and a list of house rules. One of the rules was that there was to be no one in the house or on the property other than the people who were staying in the house. The property listing states that the house sleeps four, but nothing about not being able to have guests in the home who aren’t sleeping there. The host was very rude when I questioned her and said four people max. She kept telling me to refer to the house rules, but the house rules don’t say anything about having more than just the people who are staying in the home. We just wanted to eat dinner and play some board games with our friends, and unfortunately weren’t able to because of this rule. I would of never have booked this house if I knew the “house rules”

All house rules for all Vrbo properties are available before booking. It is not the fault of the host for you not reading the house rules. I was not rude. You refused to listen and kept trying to get me to go against my establishment house rules. You left my house very dirty, lots of trash, and failed to follow the check out instructions. Additionally, you tried to bring your dog even though you saw in the house rules fogs were not allowed - this was 2 weeka before check in. You saw the house rules weeks before check in. Beware of renting to this guest.
