All was terrific and as advertised! One suggestion: Paint the Gales sidewalk’s one step either yellow or red or anything other than white. White was tough to see in snow, even after we shoveled the walk.

We were very impressed by how well the units were stocked. Every conceivable pot, pan and utensil was available for our use. The unit was very clean and the locations was perfect! Convenience to the grocery store was amazing. We didn't utilize them, but there were two kayaks available for guest use. We did use the lakeside fire pit as well as the propane heater on the porch. You could probably find a less expensive VRBO listing, but you would be hard pressed to find a better unit. I give this property my highest recommendation.

Beautiful location and view of Superior. We were close to everything: hiking, restaurants, walking distance to a grocery store, brewery, and liquor store. The host was great, resolving a minor issue immediately (door lock needed a new battery). Definitely would recommend this rental.

Fabulous place. We would definitely stay here again. Tabitha was wonderful to deal with & very responsive to any questions we had. Even when we had to change our dates of travel, she worked with us. The home was in a beautiful location, very clean, and they offer anything & everything you could possibly need while staying there. The view was awesome as well, it was a great stay.

So perfect!

Sometimes when you book a VRBO, the pictures sure look better than the actual place. Not the case here! This place was SO amazing!! The location, the amenities, the view, the rooms, etc. My adult children absolutely adored it, wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely recommend this place! 12/10 stars!!
