Because another property cancelled we had to scramble to find 4th of July accommodations near Gladstone. We got really lucky and found this cottage. Easy location, close to town, quite from fireworks. Worked great for day trips up to Lake Superior as well. The hot tub came in handy after hiking at Pictured Rocks.

This a great home away from home. Its nice and clean. Also Stacy the host is so kind and sweet. We came to a hand written sweet note telling us to enjoy our stay with some stuff to make smores. How cool is that?.... I loved staying at the little house, the hot tub was definitely our fav, its so nice and relaxing. Also the fire pit with the grate over it was very cool. My sister really enjoyed the sauna too as she gets cold easily! If you are looking for a place to stay in the area, this is definitely it. You wont regret it!!!

Perfect U.P. Getaway!

We thoroughly enjoyed and adored this house and our entire stay! We had our coffee and relaxed in the newer, well kept hot tub every morning and were pleasantly surprised with the wildlife we saw which included turkey, deer, crow, bird, and chipmunk. Each night after a day of exploring we relaxed in the hot tub and cuddled around the fire. The hosts provided everything necessary as well as s’more supplies, wood, starter, etc. The bed was also very comfortable and the house was clean. The only thing I would have liked to see were bug zappers as the mosquitos/midges/gnats got in the house when going out to the hot tub at night. Highly recommend this stay!

Quaint Getaway

The listing was so accurate, however the wildlife in the backyard was more than I could’ve hoped for. Sitting by the fire (they even provided wood, love!) and watching deer eat and bats fly by and we even got a woodpecker visitor. It’s nice and quiet all around and only 15 minutes from bigger towns. Sucks it rained most of the time and couldn’t do much exploring, but I think that was the universe telling us to take a break and relax. Stacy is so kind, they even left cute little chocolate bars for us on the table. The pillows were surprisingly super comfy! We would definitely love to come back and stay here again.
