My First Stay at Storybook Cottage
I have been looking at Storybook Cottage for years and finally found a time we could go. It was everything I had hoped for. The cottage was quaint and perfect for our style of living. And being so close to the Big Lake was a bonus. We will definitely stay again.

Needs some TLC
We still hadn’t received check-in instructions by check-in time, and had to contact VRBO. It was easy to get in once we knew how. The house needs some serious TLC. For example, the bathroom door does not close. It was clean though. The listing led me to believe the cabin was right on the water - it is not. You have to walk down the block. The area is quiet and seemed safe. However, the rest of Calumet is run down and dumpy. We will never go back. Overall, the cabin is overpriced for what it is. Also, I’ve never ever seen check-out instructions request that you sweep the floors before leaving ~ that was absurd.

Beautiful sinsets!
My husband and I spent 3 nights at the cottage and had a great time. Good location for exploring the keewenaw peninsula. Nice fire pit by the cottage and the sunsets on the beach were fabulous. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Perfect getaway!
This property was better than we could imagine. It is an older home that has been well maintained with tons of charm! Super close to Lake Superior with gorgeous sunsets. We used this home as a base to explore the Keweenaw Peninsula. Great strategic location.
