This place was magical. Lovely cottage with nice decor and great outdoor space. The beach is right there and we got it to ourselves most of the day. Would come back for sure!

Our extended family of 11 (including kids, grandkids, and parents) stayed here for a week at the end of August for our annual rock hunting / beach relaxing vacation. We could not have asked for a better vacation. Easy to understand check in instructions, great location, and the beach was awesome. There was plenty of room for our 11 people and a roomy back deck with propane fire pit for nightly relaxing session. The house was in great condition and it had everything we needed already there including air fryer, toaster, microwave, etc..I talked with Philip the manager/owner a couple of times and he couldn't have been nicer.The beach had great access for our older guests, and the kids enjoyed the miles of beach in each direction to look for those rock treasures.The kids also enjoyed boogie boarding, swimming, and snorkeling.We took advantage of the free kayaks and paddleboards that were offered. I'm off now to re-book this house for next year. If you are on the fence about renting, book now, you won't regret it.

Great place with a great view

This property was so clean and so adorably decorated. The large group areas like the very large kitchen table were perfect for us. All of that was great, but the view was breathtaking over everything else. We had a wonderful stay!

The view is superb!!

If you are looking for a secluded getaway with direct access to Lake Superior's majestic shoreline, time with family spent in an accommodating kitchen and cozying up to gaze at a cozy fireplace -- this is the place for you. We were able to gather our whole family for dinner - 14 people at the kitchen table -- such a nice blessing as we all congregated from different states.

Fantastic Family Fun

North Shore Cottages are located on a private beach on Lake Superior. Beautiful sunsets, rises and if your lucky, northern lights. Cottage and grounds filled with family fun house games yard games, boating, kayaking, with lots to do close by. Rock hunting, waterfalls, hiking, museums, shopping. Fun for whole family all week. Our second time there can't wait to go back again.

Wonderful memories

The entire family from our 1 year old granddaughter all the way to my 72 year old husband loved the cottage and location. Quiet, beautiful view of Lake Superior and fantastic rock hunting. Close enough for short day trips to Copper Harbor to Houghton. Would love the owners to include some history on the McNaughton Cottage. Great time. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful, Peaceful Getaway

The location of this rental could not be much better. Views from the house and deck were spectacular and walking along the shore each day was a treat. Two areas to review: We definitely could have used more dinner plates as there there only 7 and some nights we needed plates for serving as well at dinner. Upstairs bedroom door would not stay closed, had to wedge a washcloth in the door jam to keep it closed.

Beautiful-house and location!

We stayed with 2 other families for a ski camp and all agreed that it was great! There was plenty of space for all. The house great gathering space with an amazing view...plus there’s a sauna! We did have an issue come up with the heating system. Philip was immediately responsive and it all worked out. We hope to be back!

Beautiful home with wonderful service

The home was very beautiful , spacious and clean. Our family of 5 only used the main level and had plenty of space. The views of Lake Superior were absolutely stunning. Communication with Phillip was outstanding-he responded very quickly to all questions. We managed to lock ourselves out of the home and also came over very quickly with a smile and spare key. Highly recommended home!

Perfect getaway

We loved our stay at MacNaughton's Retreat. The house is exactly as the pictures and very comfortable! Amazing views of Lake Superior and great location on the peninsula as a jumping off point for exploring. Cottages are grouped together to create a little village of sorts but spaced far enough apart with walls and landscaping to allow privacy. Phillip and Sara are very welcoming and responsive for any questions you might have. Super close to Calumet for groceries, etc. but far enough away to feel remote. Perfect getaway for Labour Day weekend and we will certainly be back!

Family Reunion

We had a mini reunion with my siblings to inter our parents’ ashes. We were supposed to do it in 2020 but had to cancel due to Covid-19. My daughter and her family and my husband and I stayed in this cottage. It was perfect for our family! All of the kids got to have their own bedroom, which they were delighted about! It had everything we needed. Plenty of room at the kitchen table for my whole family. The deck was big enough for all of us to be together. We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back again!

Week long small family get-a-way

Our family very much enjoyed our time here! Plenty of space both inside and out for our small family to play and have their time to themselves as well. We loved the close proximity of the lake/rock beach. The only thing to note is while there is AC in the house, it is a wall unit on the main level. If you have people sleeping upstairs (which we did not), it might get a little hotter up there. Normally this is not a problem as it doesn't get that hot along the shore anyway...we just happened to have a couple of hotter days during our stay. Over-all...mutliple family members have requested that we come back to this same spot next year!

Incredible beach location

Our group of 10 enjoyed the private beach and proximity to activities in the Keweenaw peninsula. The house was tight for 10, and wasn't really setup for more than 6. It would be good to have place settings and seating to accommodate everyone in the group. The house could use some TLC - a thorough cleaning, repairs to doors and windows, paint, and furniture. It was not clear that the outdoor space is shared with several other rentals - though the other guests were great, and it wasn't a problem. A toilet in an unfinished stone basement with steep stairs and no handrail is generally not considered a "bathroom," this is a two bath house. The owner promptly provided missing bedding and towels. The sunsets on the beach were amazing.

Lake Superior

Beautiful sunsets, nice flat lawn for games, nice deck, well-equipped kitchen. Beach access was good, fire pit was great. Local brewery in Calumet nearby was excellent (I think it was called Michigan Pub). It was very hot and windows would not open (many without screens); many non-working lightbulbs (in fairness, we did not contact owner to request any). Was not clear from description that there are cottages right behind and adjacent to this one and beach is shared. Also, 3rd bathroom is in unfinished basement (we did not use, though we appreciated the use of laundry down there). We were fortunate to have quiet neighbors but our peaceful retreat could have been much different. We contacted owner x2 prior to trip with question about internet connectivity and received no reply.

Wonderful home for our family!

What an amazing location on the shores of Lake Superior. We loved our spot on the shoreline and were happy to find Yooperlites each evening. The firepit on the deck provided two nights of pure Michigan fun! My parents, grandmother, sister, nephew, and kids enjoyed the perfect weekend in this ideal home. We all traveled North to celebrate my oldest son's graduation from Michigan Tech. The house was clean and with 5 bedrooms, had all the space we needed. We ate breakfast each morning enjoying the sound of Lake Superior waves. We found great lunch options in Calumet and enjoyed takeout pizza from Calumet Works, a delicious dinner at Michigan House Cafe & Brewpub, and a graduation celebration dinner at Carmelitas, complete with thimbleberry margaritas. Delicious UP coffee was provided along with many other fun delights. The MTU colored and themed flowers on the table were the very best surprise! The owners are caring and the sweet message they left for us was heartfelt. Everything they did and provided only added to our celebration. We truly do hope to venture back often and with our second son starting at MTU in the fall, I'm certain we'll be back!

Great location, plenty of space for gathering

excellent location on lake superior, beautiful sunsets and night skies, Place listed three bathrooms but one was a half bath in unfinished basement with steep stairs which no one wanted to use. Pet friendly, and overall pretty clean but we had issues with the garbage disposal/dishwasher not working and property owner said he'd put on the list to fix for next guest vs fixing it for us. The farm table was very sticky and dirty, we tried scrubbing with clorox wipes but never quite got it clean.. I think it needs deep cleaning and sealing... sort of like eating on outdoor picnic table with years of grime and dirt. Indoor and Outdoor gas fireplace was nice, but had to call to get propane tanks. Firewood for beach firepit also a special request,and was told to look for driftwood on beach? Other VRBO's we used typically provide firewood, but was appreciated of firewood provided next day so we could experience fire on beach on dark sky. Overall very great but place is in need of TLC and repairs, windows hard to open, blinds and door wall screen need replacing, etc.
