4/5 Beautiful home with many architectural and Finnish decor touches and a wonderful wooded lake setting. The kitchen is well stocked. This is one of the nicest VRBO's we've had the pleasure of staying in. Our main concern and criticism is that we were unable to get any Wi-Fi access or to use the television. Our phones seldom worked. The owners who live out of the area were unable to help us, which was frustrating. Also, in the interest of full transparency, while the photos show a fireplace, renters should be aware that it cannot be used during your stay. We would still recommend this VRBO as long as you go in knowing these things.

From the owner: “We are so glad you enjoyed your visit, and sincerely sorry the internet was down during your stay. We have since upgraded to a new internet service, which should prove to be more reliable (the TV is also internet-based). Please visit us again!”
Peace and Tranquility
5/5 What an amazing house! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Red Cottage. The description and photos are exactly what you find upon arrival. We stopped in Iron Mountain on the way and stocked up on groceries, because it's very remote and a trip to the grocery store is an hour round-trip. But we knew this beforehand and planned for it. Other than a day trip to Lake Superior, we stayed "home" and enjoyed the rest and relaxation. Thank you!

Relaxing!!!
5/5 Our stay at the cottage was so relaxing and everything we wanted plus more!
Once we parked on the property we never moved or vehicle until the day we were scheduled to check out.
There was no reason to leave and we didn’t even entertain any thoughts of leaving. This cottage is so clean, well equipped in luxury and its waterfront views are very majestic from every window along with the whole property. If you’re looking for a thoroughly relaxed and refreshing vacation, this is your destination. It will not disappoint!
Beautiful house and location
5/5 Beautiful home and perfect get away for our family of 5 celebrating our son’s birthday. Owners were wonderful and the house was exactly as described. Highly recommend.

Amazing Property!
5/5 The house and lake are beautiful and very well maintained. Very much left refreshed and had the ‘off the grid’ feeling as you hope to experience from an Upper Peninsula vacation. We also had an amazing view of the Northern Lights from around the lakeside campfire.
