Simply spectacular !
The unit was clean, full of sunshine with all of the windows, band a beautiful view of Lake Superior! The kitchen was well stocked with cookware, glassware and dishes. There was even a mat that could be used on top of the bedside table if someone has a CPAP machine to prevent it from falling off. items were labeled to assure we knew how to operate items such as the window blinds: every detail has been thought through! Our group is already talking about returning !

Just the Lake Superior views you want
Lovely place to hygge and holiday with our 3 generations. Great views and light during the day. Good setup when wanted togetherness, and Grandma loved her large suite to get her downtime too. * We stay at many VRBO’s, and this had one of the most well-stocked and well-organized kitchens anywhere. Great!* Pix make it look a little larger than real life but still is plenty roomy. * Communicative property manager on behalf of homeowners. * Lost new living room gas fireplace functionality during the week. * Quiet during the week, and then a little more noise as other renters around the complex came in during the weekend. * Could use brighter lighting for the evenings in the main level and master suite even on full brightness of rheostat. * Note that the sleeping is just as they list of 3 beds, no couch sleeping. If 2 of the guests don’t share a bed well or have a couple who separate in the night, there isn’t a good overflow option. Lovely memories made in a gorgeous location. We’d go back.

Lake Superior Retreat
This was an incredible home overlooking Lake Superior--incredible views! It was spotlessly clean and had the most well-stocked kitchen of any of the many places we've stayed. Communication with the owner was quick and steps were immediately taken to solve one minor issue.
Many hiking trails are nearby as well as other things to do. We will definitely be back!

Home base for Grandma’s Half Marathon weekend
Great condo and perfect for 3 couples! Great to have our own bedroom and bathroom!! Location was great and a beautiful view! You can’t get much closer to Lake Superior than this. Our daughters ran the half marathon so this was an ideal spot to get them to Two Harbors and for the rest of us to go see them a couple of times as they made their way to the finish in Duluth. Communication was beyond great! Kitchen was well equipped and everything was extremely easy to find. We enjoyed our first trip to The North Shore and this location was perfect not only for the race but to go to Grand Marais.
