Our trip was fantastic! Loved the property and the area. Plenty of things to do or just sit and relax. The cottage was so cute. We loved having an entire place to ourselves for the price of a hotel room. All you need is food and your personal items. Every kitchen item you could possibly want is provided. A very cozy cabin. I would definitely come back again. Also, the host is very responsive and obviously cares about his property. Thank you for everything, Rodney!

We loved the location of the property. It is in close proximity to Copper Harbor and surrounding areas. During our stay we traveled to Calumet and back. The instructions provided inside the property were clear and easy to follow. Very peaceful and quiet area. Mr. Westlake, our host, was very communicative and helpful. The only thing we could not find was an address on the house. It was easy to figure out based on the color of the house. We would stay here again.

Phenomenal location, energy efficient property and a great place on the hill overlooking the harbor and beach. It is the Keweenaw so bring head nets and proper repellent.Overall a pleasant stay, and would do so again.
