We had a wonderful time at this beautiful spot on Lake Superior! The setting was peaceful and the views were amazing. Our friends from out of state had a blast. The amenities were great and plenty of space. Unfortunately, there was a small hiccup with the water during our stay, but Luke, the owner, handled it with professionalism, kindness, and generosity. He went above and beyond to make things right, which we truly appreciated. We’d happily return!

Perfect house for our family vacation

Everything about this house was great, plenty of room for my family of 9, location to local towns and the Apostle Islands, communication with property owner, and beautiful views of the lake! I really appreciate all of the extra towels and bedding because other VRBO’s are sometimes not so generous. We also loved the abundance of seating in the great room, we’ve been to several homes that only seat a few when the home sleeps 10-15, so that was fantastic. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

Great property. Great venue. Great views.

Our family of 8 adults and 4 children under 6 were extremely comfortable at this property. The kitchen/dining/gathering room was more than ample. The dining area seated the entire family. The HUGE couch seated the crew as well. The kitchen is wonderful and multiple refrigerators really help. The yard is well kept and very inviting. We had a great week!

Wonderful!

We had a wonderful time with our whole family over Thanksgiving. The house was spacious with plenty of room to both spend time together and spread out to get a little space. The host was really responsive and helpful. The house did feel a little bit like a maze to start with but was okay once you got use to it.

Our family and friends from Germany had a wonderful time staying in this lovely home in a beautiful setting. The area is so peaceful and the house so well equipped! We were really impressed and grateful for all the extra nice touches the hosts included. We usually need an extensive supply run after checking in but that was not necessary this time.
