It’s technically across the street from the water, but has an excellent view with a big flat yard for games, lots of outdoor seating. Host was very responsive and accommodating. The patio/pavilion by the water also has a ton of space and seating. Very cool view of the portage. It’s a shared space between another rental unit but we had the space to ourselves and never saw anyone else. It’s an outdoor space by the water so, there’s spiders/webs but that’s expected and unavoidable. Overall great place, my family and I really enjoyed our time there ##### Alexander C.

Appliances were brand new and high quality. We appreciated that there wer kid-friendly, plastic dishes in addition to the nice dishware for the adults. There is a grill on the deck along with plenty of seating outdoors, or you can grill at their waterfront kitchen which also has a lot of seating for a large group. Two sets of laundry machines between upstairs and downstairs. Water pressure and heat were great in the showers. TVs had plenty of programs to choose from or you could log into your digital streaming platforms. The owner was quick to respond to communications. The house was only about a 10 minute drive to Houghton and Hancock and about 10-15 minutes to Hungarian Falls and Douglass Houghton Falls. Overall, great stay! ##### Mairi F.

We wanted to be together rather than separate hotel rooms. We still all had our own room/space but we got to share lots of time togeher. It's a great space for a big group. And Sandy couldn't have been nicer about communicating and answering our questions! We'd love to come back!! ##### Patty H.

The large family room is great for our group and since we have adults and children having a second sitting area downstairs was wonderful. The setting is beautiful and the house is well equipped. The owners were available and helpful when questions arose during our stay. Our only suggestions are: a new grill is needed, better wifi as the connection is sporadic though that may be the location itself and not the fault of the owners. ##### Ralph B.

Lots of room for everyone to play, gather, eat, visit until the early hours, laugh, and celebrate. We were close enough to get to the college, access sledding hills, and hike to beautiful waterfalls. This cozy home was stocked with so many things that made our stay extra special. Thank you so much Karen! We love the UP. Hope to stay with you again! ##### Therese D.
