Such a lovely lakeside home, 3 levels of bedrooms and living space. Well stocked for cooking, towels, paper products, cleaning supplies, and items for everyday living; just like being home. We loved the porch, the deck, the dock, the calm beauty of it all. Starlink Internet , Directv, and a couple smart TVs keep you as in touch as you want to be while not taking over your life. Highly recommended by all 7 adults who relaxed and recharged our energy with a beautiful break from our everyday concerns. Thank you.

Amazing and comfortable place to stay! We would absolutely stay here again. It’s clearly a home where the owners actually spend time which shows in such a good way. Thoughtful details throughout, like good Charmin TP. :) really appreciated the gate on the deck-that’s so handy for dogs or little ones.

I'm glad you experienced the spacious Fortune Ridge home in Iron River, within Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula. After we received your review, we reached out to you. I appreciate you taking our call to discuss with Andrew what made you feel the house was dated. I heard the kitchen sink was your primary concern. Also, you found it would have been ideal if the dishes/silverware matched and updated. Plus, the living room couches have captured too many hours of relaxing vibes. While the home is rustic and timeless by design, we appreciate you taking the time to give us your feedback, so that we may make the property even more comfortable for future guests. Sincerely, Cara Owner, Freshwater Vacation Rentals

Great house. Clean lake.

This is a wonderful house. The house is very large for 10 people. The lake front was so much fun to swim in and the lake super clear. The hosts were easy to communicate with.

Great location on a quiet lake. Well stocked with everything you need to cook plus board games and a Wii. Beds were pretty uncomfortable though and there were a lot of things that were broken during our stay (downstairs fireplace, wine opener, some locks on the interior doors) and some areas could have been cleaned more thoroughly. Overall it was a nice stay but you could probably find better for this price point.

I agree — the location and peacefulness of Crystal Falls along Second Lake are truly ideal! We’re glad you were able to enjoy that beauty during your stay. We always do our best to offer fun and meaningful ways for families to stay engaged, and we appreciate you sharing your experience. Thank you for your feedback about the beds. You’re the first guest to mention this, but we’ve made a note so we can keep an eye on it moving forward. I’m sorry the downstairs fireplace wasn’t working for you during your visit. It is working now. I know it can feel disruptive to reach out while you’re on vacation, but if we had known, we would have happily helped—either by walking you through it over the phone or by sending someone out right away to get it going for you. The same goes for the wine opener. If the one provided was broken, we would have gladly brought another to you. Regarding the interior doors, all of the doors that are designed to have locks do lock; however, the bedroom doors do not have locks, and we’re sorry if that was an inconvenience during your stay. Thank you for choosing Fortune Ridge. While I’m sorry you didn’t feel the full value during this stay, you were wonderful guests, and we truly hope you’ll give us another opportunity to wow you in the future. Sincerely, Cara Owner, Freshwater Vacation Rentals

Very nice property, very clean. The lake was very clear and mostly calm. The fish were not biting unfortunately while we were there. The first two days we stayed (in mid-July) were nice and comfortable. The third night was very warm and almost everyone ended up sleeping in the basement due to no A/C the first floor and loft were very hot. However, we got the impression that most times of the year that lack of A/C would not be an issue. The neighbor had a dog that roamed freely and spent nearly an entire day in our yard. Not a concern, and it seemed nice, not aggressive, just something to be aware of. We also saw mink and deer. Overall a great stay and would recommend.

Me and my friends stayed. The place was great, the cabin and the down stairs even being cooler then upstairs was awesome with crystal clear water on the lake. Great fishing and kayaking. However I will say the dock needs a touch up as one of my friends fell through and if they were of old age could have seriously been hurt.
