We absolutely loved our stay at this quaint cabin on Lake Superior! It was the perfect family-friendly getaway, and the beach was truly amazing. We spent so much time enjoying the shoreline, and it was wonderful to see the kids meet other children and have fun together.While there are neighbors nearby, everyone seemed to be there for the same reason—to enjoy the beauty of Lake Superior—and it created such a nice, welcoming energy.The cabin had everything we could have asked for, including a great assortment of board games that the whole family enjoyed. The sauna was also a wonderful bonus, especially after a late-night beach visit. It was the perfect way to unwind!Communication with the hosts was excellent from start to finish, which made our stay even more enjoyable and stress-free.We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this cabin to families looking for a relaxing, fun, and beautiful Lake Superior getaway!

Nice, cozy retreat

The cabin has a perfect location between many of the sight seeing stops on our list. The water at the cabin and views were gorgeous! The walk is a little rough, up and around the dune/trees. The house was very cute and had everything we needed for our stay.

This is a very nice rustic cabin. Very convenient access to the beach I could see how it could be challenging for someone with movement difficulties, but no problem at all for relatively mobile people. The carpet could use updating, but everything overall was clean. We had one small issue with the sink leaking and we got a response in minutes and fixed very quickly. I would stay there again. We didn’t have the best weather with wind and smoke from wildfires so would’ve been a little nicer to be closer to Marquette. It’s about a 20 minute drive Lakenland is only 2 miles away. Closest food and gas stations are about 10 to 15 minutes away.

Great stay in the Little Red Retreat

We loved our stay at the Little Red Retreat. We wanted to be close to Lake Superior and the beach so this spot was perfect. Bonus was the sauna to warm up in after swimming in the cold water. The house was clean and had all the amenities needed. I was pleasantly surprised by the "better than average" kitchen supplies like knives and pots and pans! Even though there are neighbors, it is very quiet and peaceful. Thanks for a great stay!

Lake Superior

It was a cute little cabin but it was a little pricey for me . Access to the lake was very in accessible for an old man with a cane,

Thank you for bringing the accessibility challenges to our attention. I have clarified the listing to reflect your concern. I'm sorry you felt the value for the cottage didn't match what you paid. We appreciated your feedback during your stay as well. Your wife is a gem! We enjoyed talking with her regularly during your stay. Sincerely, Cara Owner, Freshwater Vacation Rentals

Thank you for very large (was is 10 gallons) jug of water to use for cooking / drinking. Much better to use than the well water.

Exceeded expectations

This cottage provided incredible access to beautiful Lake Superior, including a firepit on the beach. Everything functioned as expected. The UP is more rugged than, say, Miami, so context is key when reviewing. From what we saw, this cottage is probably one of the best in the UP. Communication with the host was excellent, which is important to us. Thank you for a unique and memorable vacation.
