House was comfortable and clean and well stocked. The only issue we had was that the listing said it had a washer and dryer which was a major reason we booked the property, but there were no laundry facilities.
It was an absolute joy to stay at Theresa's place! We felt right at home. The kitchen was stocked with what we needed to make many meals there. The area is beautiful and the house itself is on a quiet road. I would stay here again!
Overall impression was good. Home is clean, landlord lives next door so communication was great. The home is filled with art and antiques that add some really great 'intangibles'. I would have rated this stay a 5 star if not for a couple of issues. The big one was showing a washer and dryer availability on the amenities page. Landlord said she's working on getting that off the main amenities page but it really did make a big difference with us because we packed very light expecting to do a wash day at the property. We stayed busy hiking and exploring the area and didn't account for time to go to a laundromat. It was necessary for us. The other issue I had was an upcharge for a fourth person. The property lists it sleeps 6. I booked the trip expecting 3 of us to go but a fourth was available and joined us. I've never been asked to pay additionally for a person before. It wasn't a big deal but it should be stated in the main information page that additional people will absolutely incur an upcharge. So other than the listing being absent of some crucial information, the whole stay was great and the host was helpful. Even though they live next door it was like they were just another homeowner. They respected our privacy. One thing to add is we are chicken people and liked having the chickens greet us at the porch when we arrived during daylight hours. If you don't like chickens or are afraid of them, you may want to let the host know ahead of time.
Great place to stay. Clean, well cared for. Love the decor. Everything provided. Very accomodating and wonderful host. Location is in the middle of the peninsula.
This was our first stay in a rental house, and we loved it! Very cute property, hosts had put a lot of personal touch into the decorations and furniture. Hosts live right next door and were easy to contact. They provided local suggestions, and we got to see the chickens! We were mostly using the place to crash between adventures, so we didn't take advantage of all the amenities, but what you see in the pictures is what you get (We forgot to take pics of our own)! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Stayed here for a Boho trip. Nothing but nice things to stay, had a great visit!! Owner was awesome at communication and very clear with check in and check out. Highly recommend
Comfortable house. Even with continuous snow drive way and sidewalks were clear of snow and plenty of parking for our work trucks. Better than staying in a hotel all week.
Very clean, nice, and comfortable home. Its very convenient if you plan on riding the local trails. Since its an older house the stairs to the bedrooms and bathroom are quite narrow and steep, but not bad at all, just something to keep in mind. It is more of a guest house, but Threse and Mike were so kind and welcoming. We appreciated the time to chat with them to learn the history of the homes and see their beautiful garden. We would definitely come back again.
This was the perfect place for my husband and me. The host was so nice and made sure we had everything we needed. The host gave me some freshly picked berries that were delicious. The cabin worked perfect for us; it could easily occupy a couple of families. We enjoyed the trail nearby for a nice walk in the woods right across from the property. The cabin had all the things we needed. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it if you are looking for a place in the area.
House had plenty of room and was comfortable. Typical cottage with wolf pictures and lots of chairs and couches in the living room. We appreciated the kitchen with utensils and pots and pans. Bed in main bedroom had a bit of sag in middle but was fine. Only complaint was that card that identified user name and password didnât work. The host told us they had to leave work to reboot it and that it was a problem with our computers or cell phones. We got one of the WiFi options to work after it was rebooted.
I would recommend this home, unless you're unable to climb stairs. Lots of stairs. The mother in law fell twice going up. An older home isn't up to code on those small things we take for granted. Other than that, it was great.
I have lived in this area for 33 years and have enjoyed all that the wild outdoors has to offer from fishing to hiking, biking, back packing, skiing, wild berry picking, rock hounding, and much more. This has made me very familiar with the off the beaten track areas which I like to share. I have worked in the local service industry and like to give recommendations of favorites to experience.
I purchased the property to use it as a family guest place. My guests suggested many times that it is such a great place that I should offer it to vacationers, so I have. The neighborhood is peaceful and the woods have a walking and biking trail and is just across the street from the house. There's also an amphitheater only a few blocks away that has entertainment throughout the summer months. There is a small restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch, only a block away. There are quite a few other businesses located close to the cabin in Calumet including a grocery store, laundry mat, theater, gas, restaurants and many gift shops. Lake Superior beaches are located only 4 miles from the cabin. Groomed ski trails and a sledding hill are a mile and a half away. its a wonderful central location to all the actives.
It is easy to fall in love with the area because of the small town feel and peacefulness of the area where couples take evening walks hand in hand with their children .There is a 10 pm curfew for kids under 16 and a whistle sounds at 10pm to let them know. The woods are across the road making it a quiet place yet close enough to town that you can get there quickly. There is a local hospital Aspirus only 2 blocks away. The main snowmobile and ATV trail is 1/2 mile away from the cabin, you don't have to go on main roads to get to it. When community events occur and there's fireworks you can see them from the windows of the cabin. Off street parking that can accommodate up to three trucks and trailers.
