We very much enjoyed our stay! Gitchie Gumee Lodge is very conveniently located very close to Paradise and a short drive from The Shipwreck Museum in one direction and Tahquamenon Falls in the other. The house is lovely and has everything we needed including great views of the bay. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and listening to the waves. Kitchen was well-stocked and very nice, as well!

Beautiful home with a fantastic view of the lake. Well decorated and stocked with everything you could need. Comfy beds and very nice linens. We will definitely return. Quiet and peaceful. Do bring your groceries as it’s quite a drive to find a full grocery store. Very close to the Lake Superior ship wreck museum and the falls. A perfect getaway.

This property was absolutely beautiful! It was everything my family and I wanted. We wanted a place where we could enjoy being right on Lake Superior and the outdoor space was AMAZING! It had some beach space which it looked like other properties around did not. We used the firepit almost every night and the host even provided the wood to burn. Multiple Adirondack chairs to use to either enjoy the fire, look out over the lake or sit on the deck. Having a washer and a dryer available to use was a godsend with a family of 6. The beds were super comfortable. Checking in was extremely simple as well.

The Gitchie Gumie was truly amazing an did not disappoint in anyway. Waking w/ the sunrise and enjoying magic beans in the large mugs provided, enjoying breakfast in the well appointed kitchen, taking in the views in the Adirondack chairs ... all inspired me to paint a watercolor on the porch ... music and a glass of vino! Perfect. Had surf and turf on the grill, enjoyed the fireplace ... everyday dialing into relaxation ... comfortable beds, lovely well appointed bathrooms. Truly lovely. Only one small suggestion, please consider supplying martini glasses. With that ... I would rate 5 stars and will come back!Best,Lisa
