Winter Snowmobile Trip

Review applies to winter time only (summer time rental would likely not have these issues) -- location is great (close to snowmobile trails and great snow quantity). Access to garage is good for snowmobile storage at night - but not heated. Had a few issues during the stay -- walkway to house was not shoveled when we arrived, had to clear a path to get into the house. Driveway and parking area is ok for vehicles only, but trailers over 26ft will struggle to park and turn around. TV needs to be updated - missing quite a few apps and couldn't watch sports after a long day on the trails. Internet isn't terrible, but had a few buffering issues when trying to stream TV on a iPad. Super cold temps (10F to -5F) showed limits of baseboard heating and drafts from windows, had to have a fire going every night to keep temperature up. Communication with host was good, but couldn't do much to improve items above -- fixes/upgrades would need to be addressed before another renter comes in.

Peaceful

We love the privacy and lake view are amazing. Love the coziness of the house. The stairs to the beach is a bit scary going down and up from the house. Definitely love that firewood was provided!! Parking space was great! My family would definitely stay here again!

2024 Bucket List Trip

We had such a great time. Northern Lights were out two nights. Our view was Lake Superior. Can’t beat the beauty and majesty of the lake. Rocks were plentiful. The cottage was very comfortable, used the fireplace every night. Well stocked, clean and very comfortable. We will be back.

Absolutely beautiful!

My family loved everything about this property! We had a wonderful stay. The house was beautiful, the beach was beautiful, the host was wonderful! I loved listening to the water in the evening while sitting out on the deck and early mornings sitting on the beach. So quiet and peaceful! There are rentals next door but we found it to still be very private. The house was so beautiful and homey with so many personal touches and anything you could ever need! I could have stayed there forever! The location was perfect with so much to see in the area We had some car trouble on our way up so we had a rental while our vehicle was being repaired and the host was gracious enough to offer an extended stay for next to nothing as well as other resources if needed. I truly appreciated her kindness. I can't wait to visit again!

Superior Captain’s Cottage

The Captain’s Cottage is an amazing place to stay directly on Lake Superior! The cottage itself is very inviting with awesome large decks and all the comforts of home! It is extremely well stocked for any needs that may arise. The expansive, naturally beautiful beach is great for plopping, walking or combing through countless beautiful rocks of all sizes for your personal treasures. We had an outstanding week relaxing with friends and would certainly hope to return!

Graduation Trip

Our daughter decided she wanted to take a family trip instead of a party for her high school graduation. As part of the trip we stayed at this cabin. We had an amazing time!! The cabin was clean, beautiful views, and very quiet and peaceful. We spent a lot of time rock hunting, and found quite a few of the fluorescent sodalites and many other beautiful rocks. Having a fire on the beach and watching the sunset, was the perfect end to each day. I would highly recommend this cabin, and we hope to go back again in the future.

You won't want to miss the sinrises and the sunsets!

This property was very nice. It was tucked away and quiet, right on beautiful Lake Superior! The only sound was the wind and the waves! We all had side by sides with trailers(4 of them)and parking was a bit tight, but we made it work with the help of our host. We rode beautiful trails, and for our first time, we saw the northern lights! We can knock that off of our bucket list. We would have liked an additional bathroom, but we made it work! We had a beautiful bonfire on the beach and glad we did..It got chilly on the Superior lakeshore. The location was perfect! Thank you to our Host for the beautiful accommodations and for making our stay so enjoyable.

Relaxing getaway / great location

Our group had a great time at the Captain’s Cottage. The hosts are lovely people and the location is 5 stars. We really appreciated the water cooler& bottled water since the water is a bit irony which the hosts were very clear about stating. Our dog loved the beach & we did too! Lots of rock hunting, euchre playing, and relaxing! The mattresses are firm & a topper would be helpful for those needing a softer mattress. We’ll be back! Thanks for a great vacation.

Snowmobiling

Beautiful area. Easy access to trails. Very secluded, right on Lake Superior. House is cozy, with fireplace. Loft has two queen beds and a set of bunk beds. One other bedroom with queen bed. House has that “cabin feeling”. They do have WiFi fairly good for such a secluded area. We had four adults and two children we were comfortable. Has wood floors I would suggest in the winter to wear slippers or heavy socks, after all you are in the UP!

A slice of Heaven

We absolutely love this place. We have stayed with this host twice now. Once at this cabin and once next door. We love rock collecting on the beach, finding Agates and Yooper Lights both stays. No northern light this time like on the last trip. Maybe with our next stay. Can't say much about the are because we ended up never leaving the property and just hanging out on the secluded beach including night time fires. It is such a nice place to relax. The cabins have everything you need. I know we will be back!!

Not happy

There was no washer/dryer as advertised, the main bed was extremely uncomfortable - so much so, we only stayed 2 nights. The stairs down to the beach were not completed and the gas grill was empty of propane. The lack of washer and dryer was very disappointing, as we packed lightly, but the main problem was the bed in the main bedroom. The owner said it was new, but the quality is obviously lacking. For the price we paid for a week, a comfortable bed is a small ask to us. Very disappointing! There are many trip hazards in the cabin with throw rugs on a wood floor with no rug grippers. We had to pick them all up to avoid a fall. My husband fell and cut his arm at the deck side door where there is a poorly marked step up. Elderly people should be very aware of the hazards.
