Our room at the Black Pearl was nice and we enjoyed our stay. It was clean and quaint with a well stocked kitchen. It was close to the activities we wanted to do - The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum and Tahquamenon Falls. There was also a great restaurant just down the street. We had some issues getting to the right channel to watch our favorite football, but the owner was very responsive to our questions.

Perfect locale and set up for our short stay. Place was clean with a comfortable bed and cute decor. Very minor area for improvement is communication on check in and check out, there was no information provided through VRBO, once I reached out stating I hadn’t received this info a couple hours prior to check in Jay was quick to reply and text the info. In an area with poor cell phone service getting this info sooner would have been helpful.

A Great place to stay!

This place was perfect for our needs! Its very clean, modern, up to date. The hosts are very responsive and kind in answering any questions! Would love to stay here again if I'm in the area. Its by the main road but also very quiet and quaint. There was a propane grill in the back and a fire pit. Super nice!

Great Stay

Great place and location. Fuel and food right down the road. We stayed to snowmobile, having trail right across the street was perfect. Very clean as everything is newly done with a cool modern feel. Nice amenities including a large ice maker which I thought was a useful addition. Communication with host was great, easy check in and out. Would recommend to others and will stay again myself! Perfect spot for all seasons!

The kitchen set up was was very good. The biggest issue was that the check-in process was a mess. It turns out, that was because none of owners messages got through to me from VRBO to Expedia..

We truly enjoyed our time at the Black Pearl. The space is comfortable & stylish. The extra touches were lovely (even the scents of the hand soaps & reed diffuser were to our taste!) & we felt right at home. It’s well equipped overall. Highly recommend!

Great location and clean

Located conveniently close to the falls. The room was large and very clean. From the first seconds my wife and I stepped into it we immediately stated we would stay there again no question. The property offered everything we would need and two smart TV’s with decent internet

Great base for hiking and seeing Falls

Black Pearl has to be the best spot to stay in Paradise! It’s unassuming from the outside, but cozy and filled with everything you need on the inside! Fully equipped up-to-date kitchen, open to living area with comfy couch, tv, warm electric fireplace/heater and kitchen table. Separate bedroom also has an electric fireplace/heater with comfy bed. We didn’t use the backyard and fire pit, but it’s a nice addition, with wood provided. If you come to see the Falls or Whitefish Point, then this is where you need to stay! Dinner at The Inn, around the corner is a must - everything fresh from the whitefish to the amazing desserts!

Base camp

We headed up to Paradise because it was close to Tahquamenon falls, an hour from Munising for kayaking Pictured Rocks, then meeting up with 1124 other mini coopers for Mini's on the Mack. Lots of fun!
