This house was absolutely wonderful. I would highly recommend this home. Very clean, nice layout and the host was very kind! Easy access and kid friendly! The town is small in the best way. We were only a mile walk away from a beach which we visited every evening after a day of hiking. House has air conditioning and all modern amenities but keeps that cozy charm. Loved this house!

We didn’t spend much time in the house really just slept there and showered. Everything was clean. The house was well appointed with everything you could need for your stay. The host left a very nice basket in the kitchen filled with coffee, popcorn, the makings for s’mores and more. The one thing the house could use is Wi-Fi.

Very clean and had everything needed for a great stay. Nice enclosed porch plus a wonderful fire pit area. Only a 30 minute drive to the Superior Dome, but out away from the traffic of Marquette. Deer come into the yard at night and eat off the apple trees. I will definitely stay here again.
