Cozy Cabin

We had a great stay! The home was exactly as described. It was very clean and had all of the amenities we needed and more. It was quiet and warm. I would love to stay here again. We just love Ontonogan and the UP. Easy access to the Porkies and a quick walk to Syl’s for a great breakfast and cinnamon roll! Thanks again for making it so special.

Exceptional stay!

Super cute and clean, and very well maintained. The house was stocked w everything we could need and more, w tons of little extras! The beach was so close, and town was very cozy and quaint. We enjoyed a meal at a local restaurant, and it reminded me of the old days, lots of food for a small price. Very friendly neighbors, and I cannot stress the beauty of lake superior, or the magnificent sunsets we enjoyed! Thank you so much, and we will be back again next year!

Home away from Home

The visit was perfect. The property was well cared for, clean and comfortable. It was winter and there was a lot of snow but the house was warm! The owner was easy to work with and had a plow truck come out to clean up the drive-way. We will stay again, in fact, already have our reservations.

Owner is Very Attentive

There were a few issues with cleanliness, but the owner was great to work with. Having said that the house is old and the floor upstairs is very slanted. Definitely not what we were expecting for the cost to rent.

Exceeded expectations

After 3 nights in a wonderful rental in Grand Marais we shifted to Ontonagon for 3 nights. First impression as we pulled up was so so as you are in a residential neighborhood. The house was awesome with alot of personality. The high ceilings and large rooms made for alot of space for the four of us. We frequented a few stores and restaraunts in town and were impressed by the friendliness if everyone. Be aware the restrooms are upstairs and in the basement. No issue for us. House was well stocked with everything we needed and more. Priced less than most average hotels so the price was quite unbelievable. Extra points for great commun8cations from the realator. We would come back if we head back up to the region.

This was a great location for us to be able to take day trips, and being only 2 blocks from the beach was perfect! There are a few things they could add, such as dressers, and bedside tables that aren’t crates.

What a nice surprise - definitely beat expectations.

Our first trip to the U.P. and we picked Ontonagon as our base camp. This house was great. Very clean - great kitchen - comfortable bedrooms - great dining room table and living room. Best part is being just 2 blocks from a great beach. Close to Porcupine mountains, waterfalls. Houghton is a great day trip too. We weren't sure what to expect, but it was a real nice surprise to have such a comfortable place in this location. About a mile to the grocery store. Some restaurants in Ononagon, but we didn't go out to eat while we were there, but there looked like some nice options there.
