Amazing!!!

Beautiful place in an amazing location! Great place for a base to go exploring around the peninsula, and to sit back and relax listening to the waves crash on the sandy beach. Awesome hosts, and will have to return at some point in the warmer months!

Amazing Spring Break

Four of us stayed at Todd's place and we had a fantastic time. The views from the house are stunning and the house itself is cute and the perfect size. We walked on the beach, skied from the house after a fresh snow, and enjoyed the sauna along with dips in the icy lake. We were able to easily access cross country ski and hiking trails. Todd was very responsive to our questions. We had an incredible time and highly recommend.

Relaxing

Our week was wonderful, despite some crazy early-mid May weather (which we knew could be the case). The home was very cozy, the views were beyond beautiful. We were greeted with a nice welcome gift on the table, which was appreciated, the home was just as pictured and check in was easy. It was an experience to use the sauna and do a lake plunge, the kayaks were a great feature that we used, and we explored much of the surrounding area. All in all, it was an excellent choice of a place to stay while we explored an area of the UP. The house was well stocked with necessities, the beds were comfy, walking on the long (and secluded at this time of year) beach was soothing and enjoyable.
