View of owners vehicle parked 5 ft off porch
Posted Sep. 22, 2024 on HomeAwayCould not stay here because of the musty smell. They had the heat cranked up on a day that it was in the 80’s. No air and windows have to be propped open with a stick - windows full of spider webs. They did provide fans. Dead flies on the table. No door to the bedroom and the curtain they use as a door was laying on the floor. Property mgmt firm was great and very responsive in finding another property in the area. Owner parks their car in front of the porch so their isn’t a clear view,

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and for allowing us the opportunity to respond. As proud Michiganders here at Freshwater Vacation Rentals, we genuinely care about providing guests with a positive experience in our state. We’re truly sorry to hear that the Eagle Harbor-Harbor View Cottage (formerly the Eagle Harbor Schoolhouse) didn’t meet your expectations.
We understand you were there for a brief time, and we promptly offered a full refund and assisted in finding alternative accommodations to ensure your comfort. We want all our guests to enjoy their stay, and your satisfaction is always a priority for us.
Older cabins can sometimes carry a bit of a musty smell, which can be surprising, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to keep spaces fresh and welcoming. This is a tiny, one-bedroom cottage, sleeping 2 people max. The curtain replacement was intended to open up the cozy galley kitchen area just outside the bedroom door.
As for the owner’s vehicle, this is the first time we’ve had any feedback about it, and we’ll certainly look into it. You’re also right—this cottage doesn’t have air conditioning, but we do our best to maintain comfort by providing fans.
We wish you all the best in your future travels. May you find the ideal fit for your next vacation experience.
Sincerely,
Cara
Owner, Freshwater Vacation Rentals

School house cottage
Posted Sep. 20, 2023 on HomeAwayPerfect location for taking day trips around the peninsula. Homey and cozy cottage. Parking is tight. Be prepared for a car parked in front of the porch for the cottage next door.

Loved the location!
Posted Jul. 13, 2023 on HomeAwayCute little cottage with a beautiful view of Eagle Harbor. We enjoyed coffee on the front porch every morning and walked to Lake Superior to watch the sunset. Close to trails and beaches. The cottage had everything we needed and was very quaint and cozy.
