Fun getaway

House was cute on the outside with a nice back/side yard and fire pit. (unfortunately it rained the whole time we were there so we didn't get to use it) The inside was very clean and totally stocked with most everything you would need. Books on the area to look at and easy in/out access. We would definately come back.

Hopeful skiing in Michigan

Drove two hours of icy roads to and fro Iron Mountain/Duluth. Stayed one of three nights booked. Only due to no snow to ski on in Michigan. Tried to contact owner first night to see if we could work something out, but still have had no communication. Great home, great location, no communication with owner.

Clean, quiet, good location

As locals who have moved away, this was a great place to stay to come back to the UP to visit. We were happy to be able to bring our dogs, and enjoyed playing fetch in the large yard. The house was well-stocked and clean. Floors are very squeaky which made it difficult to move around the house when our child was sleeping, but all part of the charm of an older home. It’s so nicely refinished, and we would choose to stay here again. The location is in a quiet residential neighborhood, several blocks from the downtown area - would be perfect biking distance to the local trails.

Very Cozy

This place was spotless. Our expectations are very high and we were not dissapointed . This was not just surface clean like some places, it was spotless and smelled clean. I skied while my wife and our dog hung out on the property. I had a great time skiing and Sue Ellen and our dog Reacher enjoyed the quiet time at the house.

Great Location for Waterfalls

We have wanted to check out the waterfalls in WI in that corner of the state. In doing our research we found that the UP has many more. This house was a perfect "home" base to hit 20 waterfalls in one weeks. None were "that" far away at all. We saw Bond Falls, and were close to check out the sea caves in the Apostle Islands....and so much in between. The Whitehouse Cottage was just a great place for us to come and go from. It has a window AC which kept the larger bedroom super comfy...and where we had our two Shelties stay in their crates when we were out. The kitchen had everything needed for the basic cooking we did. Everything made it a great stay. To top it off Ironwood had an amazing bakery - Rigoni's. And the Iron Nugget in Hurley had great food. Super place to get away too!
