Lovely Home
This is one lovely home - we enjoyed our stay. The location is fantastic, the home has a ton of character and charm and was well stocked with everything we needed. Just watch your head if over 6’ - some of the doorways and ceilings are low :) We would recommend this home to anyone looking to explore the beautiful Northern Peninsula. Thanks!

Wilderness Serenity
We stayed at this location in the Blue House this June for 4 nights. While staying there, we saw a huge iceberg which was there for all 4 days. The locals said it was several miles long. We also were sitting on the deck on the back of the house and watch whales in the cove. We had a moose that visited every day and a couple of very cute bunnies. We stayed as two couples so this was a perfect place with two floors and two bathrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed but was a bit disorganized. While there, we visited local sites such as the Viking Village and St Anthony. The house is secluded and peaceful. I hated to leave.

We loved our stay. The location is beautiful right on the water, surrounded by grassy meadows and wildflowers. We enjoyed making breakfast with the items left for us. The home is charming! Beds were cozy and house nice and clean. Low ceilings are part of the charm but being tall folks we had to watch our heads going through the doors! We had a great visit to the Viking village and beautiful lunch at the Norsemen restaurant as well. It is a long drive out there but worth it!
