Well furnished
Host is top notch! Very accommodating, communicated well. House, while all connected 2 bedrooms kinda had their own suite which our 3 30 something children used while we had the bedroom at the front part of the house. Wood stove for additional heat was nice. We have stayed at many wonderful vacation homes over the years but this one was the most furnished home we have ever stayed at. Anything you need they gave. Also, a lot of organic food, cleaning supplies, etc. I felt like I was at my house.

Great location, amble space for dog
We stayed for a family weekend with our adult son. Loved the proximity to hiking trails and restaurants & brewery in Washburn.
The place isn't fancy, but was perfect for us. We enjoyed the sauna and campfires outside.

Perfection in the northwoods
This spot fit our needs perfectly. A great location, close to orchards and the Great Lake, we spent a wonderful weekend enjoying all the property has to offer. With ample space for sleeping and lounging indoors, our favorites were the sauna with amazing windows for wilderness views, stargazing at night from the large fire pit in the woods, and the great host who made himself available for anything we needed. We will be back.

Appreciated new bedding!
Loved the Sauna!
Owner readily answered e-mailed questions regarding problems with internet d/t Spectrum service issues.
Appreciated presence of Smoke detectors. Would add to rental description. Also appreciated charcoal grill.

Kayaking for her birthday
Our group of 6 stayed her for 2 nights. We went kayaking on Lake Superior. Good location for that, quiet, peaceful, sleeps several, close to town. The negatives: the place has cob webs all over, fur on the ceiling fans, sticky stuff on cupboards. Nobal was great to work with, with a good Top to bottom cleaning It would be great.

major disappointment
The house just had no appeal. There was a bad smell when you walked in that stayed throughout the house. The layout was chopped up, so that there was no comfortable place for the six of us to gather. We ended up using kitchen chairs to watch tv and talk. The single bathroom really made things hard. Thank goodness it was a congenial group. We all felt it was way overpriced for what it offered. No one was interested in sitting outside because of the bugs. There was one tiny tray of ice cubes in the freezer. Linens had seen better days. Beds creaked, window air conditioners were noisy and ineffective. It seemed no attempt had been made to make things comfortable or attractive. A great big disappointment. We'll probably laugh about it in the future, but for all these reasons, it was not fun to stay there.

Amazing oasis
Had a great time with the family for a couple of days. My teenage daughter even complimented the house’s “viby aesthetic.” We greatly appreciated the sauna after cold swims in Lake Superior. The property manager was amazing and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

John’s place was perfect for our stay. It’s on a super quiet road but still relatively close to town. He was very communicative and generous. The rooms were comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped. There’s a beautiful setup on the back deck overlooking the woods.

Loved the decor/ art. Just a cool little house!
We spent most of our time by the fire on the back patio area. Was the perfect place to stay with a baby- usually we camp but having a one month old with us we wanted the comfort of a home.

Warm wood heat to take out the chill along with a steamy sauna that gets hot, this place was great for a group of ice fisherman!! Clise to town yet private at night!! Only suggestion is to add a bring a coffe maker, even thoughthe French press did work fine. Owner responds immediately on any questions.

Perfect weekend reset
Great weekend getaway with an amazing sauna that overlooks the woods, cozy wood burning stove, and a fun property to explore. The house is comfortable and warm. Host was great at communication and check-in and out process. Most memorable part of our stay was watching a fox track through the woods from the sauna on our last morning.
