OMG...What an awesome stay. The owners are from here and know this fabulous area. They know EVERYTHING so are so helpful and were so helpful when the Lake became so bad that we had to change our plans from seeing the painted rocks. We had an enjoyable day and saw things we might not have if it wasn't for them. He knows not only the area but the history and could go on and on with "interesting" facts about the area. ||||The breakfast was so good with little pieces of potato in the eggs, fresh fruit, and wonderful homemade wild blueberry jam that they had made themselves. Then after we ate they have a little gift shop with all hand made items they did themselves. OK, I purchased $63. worth of items.....so special and reasonable. Like hand stitched pillow cases and adorable things for babies. They not only have a beautiful place but wow what talent and so reasonable. This little shop is for guests only and not advertised. ||||THe B&B is charming and done with great taste with many collections and antiques. It has rooms down stairs and up stairs. We stayed in room #3 on the 2nd level and the room was very roomy allowing enough room for 2 large suitecases and still not tripping over everything which many times is the case. ||||The bed was a queen but we were fine with that with no problems. The grounds are just Beautiful with abut 3 miles of beaches you can walk...with the window open you can hear the waves crashing on the shore. Just out of this world. So many different places to sit and read a book, go walking on the beach with pure sand with no rocks, a beautiful beach. ||||The owner, Jerry?, suggested 2 restaurants and we ate at both and OMG...we had steak at one and Trout at the other. He was right on the money...both were exceptional. This is what a B&B is suppose to be. All were just delightful people (a couple and their daughter) and enjoyed our stay so much. All rooms were full when we were there and I understand why....This B&B has the full package, wonderful owners, great breakfast, very knowledgeable about the area and just so gracious. A little high but worth EVERY penny. ||||They for sure can plan out your whole stay, he did for us and we couldn't pack everything in. Did I say that the owners and their B&B are all just charming. We stayed 2 nights and LOVED IT!!!!!! We will be back if ever in the area again. ||||P.S. My husband does not sleep well and he said it was the first night that he slept all night in the past 4 that we were on the road. He was estatic about the rest he got....maybe the waves crashing the shore with the...
Read moreAhh-mazing! If you want to make epic family memories, look no further.
I am not certain I can iterate the whole experience here but I am going to try:
I'd like to begin by saying this was not our first time using a vacation rental; we have done so many times. Each experience through reading reviews, researching the property, and communicating with the property owner has been worthy of five stars. However, I'd give this one ten stars if I could.
From the beginning, the communication and organization of our reservation, planning, and execution were easy, comfortable, and trustworthy. Upon arrival, we were blown away at the property, the facility, and OMG- the views! We had a group of six adults and seven kids and there was more than enough room.
It is only 30 minutes to Marquette where we found a bit of a foodie-scene, shopping, hiking and mountain biking as well as any necessities you might need- Target, Walmart, Walgreens, etc. The mountain biking is remarkable - one of three areas we turned pedals while we were there. A half hour in the other direction you find Munising, Grand Island, and Pictured Rocks which you can research on your own, there is too much to tell of here but we hiked an out-of-this-world waterfall, and biked some super fun trails with something for the whole family.
So, back to the Lodge... If you are coming from an apartment in the city, a farmhouse in the country, or living in your van, this place feels like home. Why? Because they have it all. Anything you are looking for in the kitchen, a legit coffee maker, comfortable beds (yes, comfortable beds), cozy corners and window beds for reading, trees for hammocks, deck space, a beach, a theater, a sauna, kayaks and paddle boards for rent (way fun!)... it's all there! Oh, and if you are a sunrise person, they have 'em. Maybe you are a sunset person, they have those too! North-facing onto Lake Superior, every time you look out it is a postcard-view!
We...
