Top of our list!
Beautiful property, set on a quiet lake. Fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, bedding, etc., we were able to relax and enjoy each others company rather than having to plan “how to” get through the day. We enjoyed nature, seeing a pair of eagles, pair of swans, great blue heron, lots of ducks, turkeys, etc. Excellent location to tour the beautiful Keewanaw peninsula while visiting our son at MI Tech. We will definitely keep this one in our list for return visits.

Will be booking here next time!!
We loved everything about this place. So cozy and homey. We enjoyed every last second of the sauna and lake and took as many sauna swims as we possibly could in a week. The location is also just perfect.

Very nice cabin in a beautiful location
The owner was extremely helpful. We had one small issue and he had someone there to fix it in under 30 minutes. The cabin is everything it’s advertised to be. If you choose to stay there you will not be disappointed!!!!!

Perfect location!
Loved our stay and the extra shower in the sauna room. Also loads of kitchen and bath items on hand. We never turned on a tv and didn’t use the sauna. The outside fireplace was amazing until the mosquitoes come. Lots of birds and ducks to watch.

We have stayed here a few different times with other family members. This year it was just my husband and I. It's a great place to stay! Walked the beaches at White City and Lake Superior, hung out with relatives, and just had an amazing week!

Keweenaw Family Vacation
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin on the lake. The cabin was clean and well equipped. It would have been nice to have wifi and satellite TV or the option to stream TV. We loved the sunsets on the back porch with the fire pit.

Perfect, quiet getaway
This was our first time in the Keweenaw and it was the perfect place for our family. We have realized that our family of four has outgrown hotel rooms and have never used a Vrbo, so this was our first. Everything was exactly as described. The home was so comfortable, well stocked with everything we needed, good central location near Houghton, and on a quiet lake. We enjoyed quiet mornings with coffee next to the lake listening to the ducks. After hiking all day, the outdoor fireplace was perfect for unwinding and watching the sunset. We had a great, relaxing week. Thank you so much! We will definitely return!

Best place I’ve rented in the Keweenaw
House was very clean. Beds were very comfortable. House was located close to everything we wanted to see and do. Lakefront was only 50 feet away. Planning on staying there again next year.
