Lovely time

It's a very unique, old property. Master bedroom has a lovely view of Superior where I was able to watch the northern lights. There are some elements of the house that could use some TLC but nothing worth getting upset about. Several members of our group commented that it reminded them if their grandparent's houses. Classic Midwest. The owner didn't leave check-out instructions and I did not have any cell phone service in all of Eagle River so we weren't exactly sure what to do. There was also quite a bit of food in the fridge when we arrived, which was weird but nothing looked rotten so it didn't bother me. Overall, I was very happy with the rental and would rent again if I'm in the area.

Amazing view vacation

Right from the beginning, everything was great. We had no problems finding the place or parking my 26ft trailer with toys. The view of Lake Superior is breath taking. The sunsets on the beach and yooperlite hunting were spectacular. There was plenty of space for us the spread out. The kitchen was adequate for the meals we cooked. We rode right from the house to the trails and then all over the Keweenaw. Communication with the owner was fantastic. We liked him from git go. We was very accommodating and willing to help with anything. Thanks for a great time.

Dated, historic home, UP camp

Spectacular sunsets over Lake Superior, that's what you are paying for in this house, not the amenities. A nice walk down the road and over the river via a quaint bridge gets you to the lake and is spectacular - the beach is rocky, but this is lake superior and doesn't disappoint. Host, John, is very responsive even with a busy day job. He stopped by after we arrived to address some issues and is very kind and respectful. He responds well to the comments of previous guests and makes improvements based on those comments - which is nice. For the price, I expected a bit more from this house, no coffee maker or coffee cups and nowhere close to buy a cup of coffee, so hopefully John will purchase one and get a couple of cups for guests in the future. Unfortunately, this is a family owned home, so John isn't always aware when a sibling flops at the house before guests arrive as they had apparently done before us, so after 7 hours in the car, I had to change both of the sheets on the queen beds - bummer since those were the nice sheets. There were extra sheets on shelves in the master bedroom. House is kept tidy, aside from dust and a few cobwebs, I believe they clean as best they can before guests arrive. There is a washer & dryer and they work well. I would be willing to be someone lives in this house most of the time and moves out when the home is rented based on food in the refrigerator and freezer. The photo of the outside of the home is a few years old based on the amount of firewood outside and entrance into the house is through the garage, which has quite a bit of clutter. Beds were fine, we slept well. Towels were very worn, I fortunately brought my own washcloths. Very little cell service - it's the UP, what does one expect? So, I brought my own internet hotspot through Verizon and had success with the little bit of work I needed to do while visiting. If you want an escape, bring your own groceries (stop in Calumet) and beverages, and enjoy! Fitzgeralds is a great restaurant and the only one I found in Eagle River. Great location for visiting the peninsula - rent this place if you and your family can appreciate a dated, old home.

Not rustic, a wreck

Broken windows, intolerable mold and cigarette smell, holes in the carpet, holes in the furniture, and holes in the walls. Porch had garbage, including cigarette butts. Heap of wood (barely cut tree limbs, etc.) on the side porch unsightly and messy. Large rodent trap on the porch. Ancient carpet. Detached closet door. Hanging wires. Vrbo had to get him to call us with check-in information. When we finally spoke he was rude. We were supposed to stay a week and left as soon as we could find accommodations elsewhere. Business owners we spoke to in Copper Harbor knew about this house being in bad shape. Capital One helped us get our money back because Vrbo did nothing they said they would. We offered to pay for 1 night and the fees. Vrbo should be more responsible and responsive. We will not use Vrbo again.

First week of August

Great view of Superior from several rooms and porch. Excellent location for visiting the Keewenaw. Enjoyed learning about and feeling the history of the house. Took us two days to locate the internet password and found no coffee cups in house. Written guidance would be helpful.
