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.

Nice spot, but amenities missing

I rented this property for a weeklong family vacation with my adult children and their spouses (total of 7 people). It's a very nice location, at the end of a dead-end road, right on Lake Superior. It's very quiet and isolated. The property listing stated it had both a hot tub and a sauna. When we arrived, I texted the owner to ask where the hot tub was. He replied that there was no hot tub. When I sent him a screenshot of the listing indicating a hot tub, he said that was a VRBO error. I then asked about the sauna. He replied the sauna was not working. I said I was kind of disappointed. His reply was that he wanted to end the rental and that we should leave the property. (Where did he think we were going to go?). I told him that was not going to happen, and I would deal with VRBO. Bottom line: The property is nice, but does not have all the amenities advertised. The owner is very difficult to deal with, and will only communicate via text.

Nice place but..

Would I stay there again? Yes. The location was great and having the beach right there was perfect. The price per night was right for two families splitting the bill. Here are some concerns we had. 1. Limited dinnerware and utensils. Bring extra plates for family bigger than 4. 2. The master bedroom on the first floor had spackle all over the walls that were not shown in the photos. It's not too big of a deal, but it appears that the finishing work was halted. The window in this room was not able to close once opened. So we had to go outside to shut it at night. 3. The instruction book stated that we had to remove all bedding and place it into bags. We did not feel that this was our job, but we did. However, we were not able to find enough bags for the amount of laundry that was there. 4. We ere not able to adjust the heat up. The crazy winds for two days had the screen door coverings moving with leaking air, Even with the fireplace going it was cold in the morning at 66 degrees with the drafts inside. Overall, for the location and price for two families, not a bad place, and would consider staying again. It was "clean" but could use a thorough deep cleaning.

Property Manager Nightmare

Well, before our stay started the owner had contacted me asking me to cancel my reservation on VRBO and book directly through him. He stated it would save me money, I did find this odd but didnt think much of it. We first pulled up to the house thinking it looks great, it had an amazing location. The house is older so it had the charm of an older home. It could have been cleaner, that wasn’t a big issue for us. We did quickly realize that there were little things not working. We contacted the property owner/ manager about two unworking tv’s and a lack of pilot light on a gas fireplace, asking for help. It was a wet rainy day and we had already passed time by playing cards. He suggested we wait till tomorrow, I had asked for him to help me troubleshoot the problem and he starts calling me a Katen, ignorant and entitled. He attempts to tell me I must vacate immediately and he is going to call the sheriff. I had to spend 1.5 hours on the phone with VRBO to get this resolved. He is a problem host, and ge had no right to threaten us since we did not break the contract. After we proved HE had broken the contract by not providing a safe environment for us to stay in VRBO provided us with a full refund and released us from our reservation. I know owner is going to reply to this comment with hostility just like he has all the other reviews he did not like. You may not have any issues... but if you do... you do not want to deal with this man.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
