This is a great location. We could walk to town, the dog park and marina. Very quiet “hidden” road. The house is updated and offers plenty of room for family or small group of friends. It’s clean and comfortable!

So glad you enjoyed this comfy hideaway close to everything!
Such a wonderful house in a perfect location! Great size for our big family and central air is a huge plus. It’s maybe a 1 minute walk to the main road but it feels like you’re very tucked away. We absolutely loved our stay here and highly recommend. Thank you!!

So good to know this home worked so well for your family. We look forward to your return !
We had the worse weather!! Rain and 50 degrees all week. Plus we had a 9 month old. This cottage saved our vacation. Very comfortable living room, beds were wonderful and the kitchen table was perfect for card games, close to downtown so stroller walks with the baby was perfect. I’d highly recommend this property.

Northport Hideway is a cute, cozy and convenient house that is walking distance to the village of Northport and all its amenities. The house is well-equipped, clean and provides comfortable spaces for eating, gathering, sleeping and enjoying the out-of-doors. We have stayed there many times and always look forward to our next visit.

Thank you for staying with Visit Up North, we look forward to your return!
The house was great! It was clean, well-appointed, and comfortable. We enjoyed the privacy of the yard and covered deck (although at least 3 people associated with the property or rental companly in some way showed up over the few days we were there). There is a nice creek running past, and it creates a relaxing atmosphere outside. The whole area in general is very nice - everthing is well taken care of and pretty all over Northern Michigan, not pretentious or manicured. We enjoyed it very much.

The house is a very clean and well stocked place a quarter mile max from downtown Northport. We already discussed booking the same place next year. Walking distance to the Mitten Brewery and Tom’s grocery store. Bed were comfortable and bathrooms were very clean. The only downside is the smoke alarms went off sporadically through the night waking everyone. Finally I had to disconnect them in order to sleep. UP North offered to move us to a location close by, but we had small kids and unplugging them solved the issue. Overall, we had a wonderful time there.

We’ve been staying at this adorable home for several years. It’s always clean and very comfortable. Love that it has AC and WiFi! When we needed a repair made, Visit Up North took care of it with no problem. The service man was very nice and quick, too. One suggestion is to update the dishwasher. Otherwise we always enjoy our time.

This home was wonderful! We truly appreciated our experience in Northport Hideaway. Everything was clean and it is perfectly placed in town. The only complaint is that the grass had not been mowed in at least three weeks. We realize that it is probably due to the pandemic, so understandable. Hopefully they get someone to mow soon so the next visitors can use the outside area because it was beautiful too! Loved our stay

Response from VrboOwner on 25 May 2022
So nice of you to let us know that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for letting us know about the grass. We are doing our best to "catch up" with landscaping issues that had to be abandoned during the shut down.
