Was a great place to stay for the weekend with two teens and a dog. Beds were super comfy, Finnish pancakes were delicious. Hosts were very quick to respond when I asked a question.

Excellent location and property
We booked this property because it was in a good location. We are former Thunder Bay residents returning for a visit. The property is centrally located in a good area. It is close to shopping, attractions and our old neighbourhood. We brought our dog with us. The property is very dog friendly, with paw drying towels and poop bags provided at the door. Also, a great dog park (if your dog is medium/large, and comfortable playing with lots of others) is located within a 10 minute walk. The property was clean and very well appointed. The premade Finn pancake mix, with strawberries and cream, was a welcome touch. Very delicious. The hosts were very responsive to our requests for information. They had a beeping smoke detector attended to within hours. The beds are comfortable, although we'll bring our own pillows next time (the supplied pillows were a bit thin for our liking). The property is located in an old school (I had shop classes there as a kid) and is very well restored. The high ceilings and old bits of the original building lend a nice touch. We will definitely use this place again! Thanks Taina and Mike.

Wonderful stay in Thunder Bay
We really enjoyed staying in the VRBO rental in Thunder Bay. The aoartment was well laid out and the furniture very comfortable. We really enjoyed theFinnish pancakes with berries and whio cream. Taina and Mike were great hosts. Thank you so much for the ease in accessing your site . The tv channels and the alexa pod were bonus features. When we are in Thunder Baynext time, we will check to see if we can rent your VRBO apartment again.

Comfortable Place to Connect
We came from a two day drive away and decided to stay here because it looked like a welcoming and comfortable to connect with our eldest before sending him off to Lakehead University for the first time. And it was! Our boys were so excited about the yummy chips Taina and Mike had left and we were delighted to have breakfast ready for us to make so we could spend time connecting over a nice leisurely brunch. It was a perfect location to grab last minute things for our eldest and it was quiet so we could sleep well before and after the big move! Thank you Taina and Mike! We will definitely be back when we are visiting 🙏❤️

Fantastic stay
We have stayed in quite a few vacation rentals over the years...and this may be the single nicest place we've ever stayed. Just a beautiful apartment, absolutely spotless with every amenity we could think of. We were there during a summer heat wave, but the air conditioner in the living room did a good job of keeping things comfortable. We also enjoyed the Finnish pancakes!

Great place in TB!
We loved our stay at this property. It was clean, extremely well stocked, and a convenient location to get around town. We loved that it was on a renovated school with fun details like the old style floors in some spaces. Loved the Finnish pancakes, strawberries and cream that were left for us to enjoy our first morning. Definitely recommend this spot and these owners.

Perfect Stay
We stayed in this apartment after canoeing 6 days in the back country of Quetico and it turned out to be an excellent place to rest and regroup. We enjoyed the spaciousness and all the special touches that made our stay so comfortable. (pancake breakfast, chips, coffee, tea, coins for laundry, etc. and the extra toothbrushes/toothpaste that were unexpectantly needed.) The location was great and close to the marina. 30 minutes got us to the worth seeing Kakabeka Falls. Communication was always quick and the notes around the place were helpful. Thank you for making this a home away from home!
