This house had so much retro charm and was perfect for our family to spread out after a long car trip. Beds were comfortable, community areas were spacious and well stocked with puzzles, games, books, and interesting knickknacks. Great location for beach combing or venturing into PRNL.

This house was wonderful! Homey, well stocked kitchens (yes, 2!), beautiful views, comfy beds, and best of all, a (Lake Superior) stone's throw from amazing Agate Beach. We didn't get to enjoy a fire outside due to rain, but wood was provided by the fire pit. We can't wait to visit again.

Beachers Delight

This perfect property is right before the famous Agate Beach parking lot. No place to park on an aurora night? No problem. We enjoyed walking down to the beach every night, lots of coffee on the viewing deck, and actually caught some aurora while trying to photograph the Milky Way. We had plenty of room for everyone to relax and have their own rooms. A kitchen and a half for everyone to enjoy, and plenty of things to do. There were 2 TVs but we never used them with being so close to the beach. We will definitely keep this in mind for the next stay in this area.

Great location in a small town, literal 2 minute walk to the lake. House was old, but adorable! Lots of character in her. Definitely a unique stay for us. Would 100% recommend! There is no air conditioning, which I didn’t notice until after we got there. Fortunately, the weather was great and (in general) pretty cool. We just opened the windows. It was much warmer upstairs, but fans are provided in the rooms. My kids didn’t mind. It was perfect for our little family getaway! The coffee shop in town is a must visit! They have great pasties. Make sure to get groceries before you get to town. Thanks!
