Great location and home is very family friendly for skiers!

We had a great stay here. Kitchen is great as we cook most of our food. Location to the Indianhead resort is so close. We did 3 days of skiing and having laundry in the home was a big help so we did not have to pack so much. This is the second year we have stayed here and it is one of the best locations we have found. Already looking forward to next year!!!

Great stay

We had a very nice stay. I will say, the place is very cold, I had to turn the heat on and was SO glad I brought warm pajamas! The bed was hard as a rock and they don’t have good pillows so bring your own!! The place is really nicely decorated and has a full kitchen stocked with everything you would need. We were really only here to sleep so the bed and pillows are what is important to me. Otherwise everything was great!

Very disappointing

-Beds were very old like sleeping on boxspring . Wind came blowing in over headboard had to hang a heavy wool blanket over window . One accessible outlet in kitchen/living room with an extention cord with multiple items plugged in , TV , cable ,VCR , toaster etc . no where to even charge a cell phone.Hot water heater shared with other unit so after sking it took hours to get hot water if other unit was showering at the same time .I talked to owner after 1st night (we were going to move) and they offered 1/2 refund so we stayed . Have not and was told we will not see a refund . Very Very disappointing . I wish someone else had wrote a review for us to read .

UP Stay

A little bit rustic, but a great value for money and great proximity to the ski resort for Winter visits. Nice layout and great television setup, but could use some upgrades to the furniture in the TV room. Kitchen was well equipped. Contact with the owner was superb.

We loved the UP!

It was wonderful having the full downstairs with bedrooms upstairs. Even with downstairs renters and next door neighbors we slept soundly. We did bring our fans from home because that's what we always sleep listening to. Wakefield is a cute town. I especially recommend Northwoods General Store for ice cream, Nanette's Knits and Gifts for EVERYTHING, and Randall Bakery, also for everything!! This is a great launching spot for the west end of Porcupine Mountains, Black River Harbor Beach, NCT, Copper Peak and endless waterfalls!!

Great visit

My family and I enjoyed a great stay at a location that allowed easy travel to various waterfalls and the Lake Superior! This was our first visit to the UP. The rental, check-in and check out processes were very simple and provided ease for our last minute request. An outdoor firepit would have made this perfect for our summer visit! The inside was very warm, cozy and welcoming after our long days of exploration! We very much enjoyed listening to records and playing board games and cards in the evenings!

Our family party of three (husband, wife and adult daughter) went here for R & R.

The property appears average on the outside, but beautiful on the inside! The natural wood tones, the spaciousness, and the cleanliness lend to a peaceful time. Neighborhood is quiet and the family across the street was quiet, too! For summer visits, I strongly recommend renters bring fans just in case it is hot and humid. The space is primarly designed for winter visits, meaning there are individual thermostats in each room; marvelous for skiiers and snowmobilers - but for warm weather visitors, there are no ceiling fans and central air conditioning is not an amenity. The temperatures were unseasonably high and the humidity was high, too. We went to Ironwood to purchase fans at Walmart but everyone else did, too, so we could only buy small personal fans. The kitchen was well stocked and the property owner had been there the day or two ahead of us and provided us with some milk, wine and coffee, just to name a few of the grocery items. All in all, a good experience. The property owner didn't know we'd be in the high nineties with high humidity. He didn't have control over the weather, but he could add some ceiling fans and/or air conditioning to make it a four season vacation home. The City of Wakefield was welcoming and Sunday Lake was a treat! We swam in it in the evening. We drove 15 minutes from the property and hiked a bit in the forest to view a collection of waterfalls. About 30 minutes west of the property, our daughter turned off the main highway onto a dirt road and was pleasantly surprised by a brown or black bear running across the road in front of her. That is not something we get to experience in the Chicago metro area - a true treat. We were there over the Fourth of July and the neighboring town of Bessamer had a (small) parade in the evening followed by a fireworks display. Lots of locals had their own fireworks, too. Strongly recommend!

Wonderful large home, perfect for large groups at the top of Indianhead Mountain!

The house is large and clean. The kitchen was fully stocked and ready to use.3 bedroom and 2 bathrooms. We slept 11 comfortably. It is a short drive to the ski hill. Joe was wonderful about responding quickly to questions.

Tamara V., Holland, Mi

We had a wonderful time in this rental. Plenty of room for 10 people.

It's listed as being able to accommodate 18 people. No way!? We all loved the house! The rooms were spacious, but really only room for 10. We all love the "hidden treasures" up the road, take a walk and find the Indian & toboggan run, we loved it! (play at your own risk) I could only imagine staying here in the winter would be awesome. But for us, kayaking in lake Sunday and down the river , was real nice.Day trips in every direction made for an exceptional vacation! I would definitely stay here again!.

Nice Establishment, and Nicer Owner

This was the perfect location and just great for a holiday with a family of young adults. We had 6 adults, and the rental was the perfect size, everything we needed was provided, and all was very clean. Joe was awesome to work with, and he made me feel very comfortable that I had picked out a great place to rent. We will make this an annual holiday for our family and will rent the same place again if it is available.
