This place is outstanding for a home base, close to so many beautiful attractions. Beds are so comfy, rooms are large, it is adequately supplied with the things you would need for your stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Sam was a great host and was easy to work with. The house was exactly what we needed and it was stocked with kitchen necessities, bathroom necessities, etc. There was even a small fenced in area for the dogs to go potty/run around without their leashes.
Naubinway was a great location for our first visit to the UP. The base camp is on the main road and just behind Hiawatha Pasties, where Sam includes a delicious pastie (a local food experience) and drink for each guest as part of your stay. Sam is most friendly, kind, and responsive of hosts. He goes above and beyond- providing suggested activities in the UP before ever asking, bringing us a deck of cards when we forgot ours and asked if there was a deck in the house, and answering our questions promptly and thoroughly. The condo has helpful pamphlets to also let us figure out our plans.
Perfect and exactly as described, great UP base camp. Pasties were excellent! Many other food options even though it was off season. Master bedroom area was private. Kitchen was well stocked.
This pet friendly home was perfect for our stay visiting family in the area for the holidays. Nice, well equipped kitchen space, and spacious dining area, plenty of comfortable seating in the living area. Host was very helpful and responded quickly to any inquiries. Would definitely recommend!
We had a great stay! Sam went above and beyond with snacks, free pastie meal, pancake mix, syrup, and condiments being provided. It was a great location to everything around. We would definitely recommend staying here!
We had wonderful stay, place was very nice and clean. It was loaded with all the possible things that’s needed for a trip! I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a place that’s close to all UP attractions.. We would come again to stay in this place…
Sam was an excellent and very accommodating host. The place is nice and comfortable. Downtown is just across the street and the pasties from Hiawatha are even closer and very tasty.
Cozy, lovely house and a great stay. Sam is an awesome host—friendly, caring, and quick to respond. Smooth communication, and the free pastries were a nice touch!

A great home base to explore the UP for the first time! Comfortable and clean with thoughtful amenities. A great property!
We really enjoyed our time at Sam’s home! The pasties were delicious too. We were even able to add an extra day onto our stay too last minute! Thank you for the hospitality :)
Sam was great to work with! His communication was quick and always helpful. The house was a nice place to rest our heads at night as we spent most our time exploring the UP during the day. I would stay here again.
The property was just like it was described. It was clean and comfortable. The location was close to popular attractions and pet friendly! The host was super nice and helpful!
