Very good

We wanted to love this stay. A cute & well-decorated old cabin is pretty tough to mess up, but this stay does. The cons outweigh the pros here & the listing isn't up front. Def not worth the $600 we paid.
PROs:
- Cozy
- Well-decorated & charming
- Great views
- Nice location near Keewenaw.
CONS:
- SAGGING, SOGGY FLOOR. The subfloor is 100% rotten in the main cabin & bath. No little slope — the fridge is shimmed up 4in or so. When our 30lb dog walked through the cabin, the. floor. bounced. The toilet wobbles when you sit on it. Anyone w/ mobility or vision problems could fall or get hurt.
- MOLD WARNING. Complete lack of caulk around fixtures or mounting in bath so shower spills water behind the tub. It runs under the tub & out onto the floor — presumably under the linoleum which, because of the sagging, is pulling away from the tub & wall. Mold sensitivities made this stay very uncomfortable. I tripled my antihistamines & tried to stay out of the cabin. Between the breathing issues from allergies + the grogginess from extra meds, I felt like crap while we stayed here.
- NOT CLEAN. The shower had smudges (ew), no dusting, old, stinky dish sponge... I ended up cleaning the coffee stand myself and rewashing our dishes due to dust and dead bugs. Hopefully the bedding had been changed?
- NOT STOCKED. The listing makes it seem that wood & coffee are provided. They were not.
- LOUD. Literally 50 ft from busy highway w/ shipping & logging traffic. No relaxing here.
The property had everything we needed. We loved it so much. The location is right on the bay, if you are in to ice baths the water was perfect for it (we went in October.) Its located next to a main rd, but the brush line gives you privacy.
The cabin could be very cute! It needs updating. New blinds, window covering, ect. The floor in the bathroom is soft and you feel like you could fall through. There is spiderwebs and spider eggs everywhere. The floors are dirty, you have to wear your shoes or socks. The windows and seals are very dirty. It needs completely cleaning from top to bottom.
quirky and fun, more coffee supplies could be added..
Also hot tub Jacuzzi. seemed to leak to floor. Finding towels was a hunt

Old cabin
It was terrible way to close to the highway and it was extremely loud from the highway noise we did not even stay any of the days we went back home

Great spot but honest review
I only review honestly but I will put many pros first. Gorgeous view. Adorable cabin. Stocked cleaning supplies. Fire pits. Responsive host. Linens towels and bedding provided. Honestly, before you read the cons, please know we thoroughly enjoyed this place, I just didn't expect to have to clean as cleaning fees are part of Vrbo charges so it should have been cleaner from prior stay. The host even gave permission with no fee for us to arrive early (we didn't end up needing to do so but it was so kind.)
Cons-
The fans were too thick with dust to use and there was dog doody everywhere. We made sure to pick our up and dispose of it. The WiFi literally doesn't work at all but we weren't there for that. I also had to scrub the bath to use it.
With more cleaning and enforcing dog poop cleaning, it would have been stupendous. Who cares about WiFi, just maybe don't advertise it as a perk?
Despite the oddly manic review, I'd rent again and hope to make it an imeccape 5 stars!
Beautiful little cabin I want to rent this spot again

Property was as advertised. Rustic and a lot of time went into all the bear nick nacks and bear themed items around the cabin. I would love to have this place. The highway can be a little noisy at times as other people have stated. But I signed up knowing it was there. Beach area has concrete steps that are uneven getting to beach. Just adds to the charm.
This cottage is SO COZY and those views?!?! 💯 I wish we could’ve stayed another week! I loved waking up to the beautiful sunsets on the bay right from the cute little beach area. I hunted rocks, watched the birds, had a bald eagle and golden eagle join our company in the birch tree on the property. The two camper couples were equally as pleasant to chat with. Overall 10/10. Definitely recommend!

The cabin was disgustingly dirty. As soon as we opened the door, the smell of old dust and stale air was nauseating.
I got an asthma attack so bad that I had to rent a room at the closest hotel (which thankfully had a room available despite the holiday). My mom and her little dog were able to stay in the cabin (unfortunately the hotel had a no-pet policy), but only after she swept and mopped what was about two pounds of dust. She handed me the garbage bag with all the debris she collected from under the bed and floors and it was HEAVY with dust, pet hair in chunks, and cobwebs. She even found a half chewed bone on the floor.
Unsanitary, filthy, squalid... I am surprised the place is even legal to be rented out!
Such a pity because the cabin is very picturesque and the view of the lake with its little beach in front of the yard is beautiful.
Recommended if you like to sleep in filth or do a lot of cleaning during your vacation!
I absolutely adore this cabin. After reading some of the reviews I was a little nervous to stay here because of negative reviews regarding cleanliness and the two campers. But I am so happy I stayed. I used my UV light around and everything was clean. The two campers on site were occupied during my stay, but they did not interfere with the view nor did it feel like they were too close.
This cabin has so many cute decorations and little touches throughout that make it such an adorable little cabin.
Check in was easy. When I checked out I got about an hour away before realizing I left my purse there and had to turn around. I messaged the Host through the ap and received a quick response. My purse was safe in the cabin when I arrived to get it. Of course the relief I felt with the honesty and trust that was built with the host during this incident intensifies my gratitude of the Host for opening the cabin to share. I highly recommend staying here.

Nice little cabin right on lake superior. Great location, would recommend. Just so everyone knows this is a rustic cabin but was a great place to stay.
Slept within feet of highway. Sewer emptied into lake right next to property. Dog and family couldn’t swim. Run down trailers on property. Unusable. WiFi didn’t work. Dishes, towels, bedding were dirty. We were so happy to leave. This is my first and last time using Vrbo
Property as described, gas grill very dirty and out of LP. No internet coming in to property, must have been a outage. Could not watch TV without it. Property could be maintained better, weeds cut and grills maintained much better. Also check LP more often.

Not as expected
The cabin didn’t appear to be cleaned, we were told it was. Bathtub had hair and sand in bottom, soap scum on shelves. Stove was covered with cutting board and dirty underneath, wasn’t even wiped off. The floor had a lot of dirt and crumbs all over. Under the table was pieces of weed someone before us was using in their pipe that was left under the ac unit. On a positive note the decor was very cute inside.
Right away when we got there, I noticed there were all sorts of cans and garbage laying around the garbage can outside. We picked it up. There was an empty shampoo bottle but conditioner to use. We bought shampoo and left it there for the next people. The floor was clean, but you can definitely tell, it’s an older cabin and was dusty, there was a weird smell, but you got used to it. We found a pipe and a lighter by the air conditioning unit that was not ours. We left it there. 2 windows AC units to keep the place cool it was a very hot weekend. It’s right off of the highway so you can listen to the cars drive-by, but it didn’t really bother us, we loved being on Lake superior and enjoying chairs in the Sandy area on the property with our feet in the water. A little tough to get to the water, but we figured it out. Overall, we were pretty content with the place but will probably stay somewhere else next time.
This was a real cute and cozy cabin. I gave a three for cleanliness because it definitely needs a good deep cleaning. There were cobwebs and furniture covers were dirty. I would suggest a second set to swap out between guest stays. Location was good, just a lot of noise from the traffic. I guess it depends on what you are looking for. We enjoyed our stay and we were able to bring our dog. We would stay there again.
It ended up being a night it snowed. Thankful for the warm cozy cabin with a view of the lake.
