Great MEA break location
Really great location on a pretty quiet lake. Local bar has great food including Saturday night prime rib. Beds comfy. Kitchen well stocked. Common space isn’t large but very well laid out to make it comfortable for a family of four. Outside space is wonderful with good privacy and Great Lake views. Roughly 50 minutes to the Superior shore and all the parks. You really feel like you’re away from it all.

Very nice, clean property, beautiful lake view!
We had a great stay with our children and grandchildren! The setting is on a beautiful lake that is the primary view from the living room and dining table. Property was very clean. Everything we needed was there and easy to find. Communication with the hosts went very well. I pinged them on the VRBO site and received a prompt response to my question. Everyone in our group was happy with our stay and would like to come back for another visit in the future :-)

About the host

Hosted by Chad Vetter

Host profile image
Welcome to our home away from home and our little slice of NorthShore heaven. We wanted to introduce ourselves to all our potential guests. We are two families that simply fell in love with this lake shore home. The sunsets alone will keep you coming back. Chad and I (Kathi) have 8 kids between the two of us and have a crazy blended life, as you can possibly imagine! Chad is a private investigator and I am a local real estate agent. Our favorite thing about the cabin when we first found it was the incredible view. Rob and Jenny are our close friends and our partners in this cabin adventure. They too are busy parents with 4 kids. Rob is in sales for the food industry and Jenny is a middle school art teacher! They fell in love with the Lake on our first boat ride…Our kids range in ages from 26 down to 13. The kids love fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking and hiking through the countless trails. The NorthShore offers so many possibilities for adventures and experiences for your next vacation or weekend away that it will keep you coming back time and time again. We know, because it happened to us. Please come on in and find out for yourself. Be our guest and leave part of our family.

Why they chose this property

We love the location of our cabin. The lake it sits on is phenomenal for fishing and boating. The endless trails around us set you up for every adventure you could imagine in every season of the year and that just can't be beat! The North Shore is just so friendly and inviting no matter where you go so it isn't just our Lake, it is the entire community that brings you back.

What makes this property unique

We like to think our views are heaven. This is no secret. But honestly, we are perfectly placed for winter being so close to the snowmobile trail head. Hundreds of miles of trail fun. The summer is the same, between biking, hiking, and 4-wheeler the actual adventure is only limited by your imagination.
