When can we come back???

We booked this stay as a surprise 40th birthday gift for our sister - it turned out to be a surprise gift to all of us!! The house is beautiful, we were speechless when we first walked in. The kitchen is big and bright against the backdrop of the beach, which is literally steps away. The couches and beds are *very* comfortable and the space was more than enough for us 5 adults and a pup. 'Pet friendly' is an understatement. The house includes a pet bed, dog toys, a dog run, even some extra dog treats in the cabinet. We have stayed at many Airbnbs as a family, and never have we stayed at one as hospitable as this. Every basic tool was available in the house and there was even food, drinks, and snacks for us to help ourselves to. Our hosts were available immediately when we had some questions during our stay, we felt completely taken care of. I cant find enough great things to say about this property. The house, the hosts, the views - its a 10/10 in every aspect and we are already planning our next stay!

Fall get away in Big Bay

Amazing location, right on the water. The home is close to hiking and MTB trails and a short drive into Marquette. We loved our stay and will be back!

Wonderful Family Reunion Retreat

Our family of 14 stayed at Skyfall for a week as a gathering place for a family reunion (4 different families) with people ranging in age from 2 years- 76 years old. It is tucked away, but accessible- 35 minutes west of Marquette. It has all the comforts of home and Erin/our hosts were incredibly easy to communicate with. On top of it, our doggos were allowed which really allowed us all to relax and enjoy the entirety of the vacation! We would highly recommend and we look forward to the opportunity to visit again!

Spectacular Beach House

Our 3 generation family stayed at this roomy and comfortable beach house. This house is better than the photos depict with a nice size deck, and beach side property. We had ample space for 10 adult family members and the kitchen space and amenities worked well for us. But the beach, THE BEACH was incredible, all sand and perfect depth for swimming. Not heavily trafficked it seemed almost private. Erin was so helpful and responsive to all our questions. The neighborhood is lovely and although many houses are close-together the privacy is maintained. We brought our boats and the access about 1 mile down the road was super convenient( fishing was fantastic!) there are also great hiking trails about 25 miles away and Marquette about 40 minutes. We’ve stayed at many VRBO’s over the last 20 years and this is one of our favorites!
