We got to enjoy the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere with the convenience of being just 5 minutes from town. There was ample room for all of us (6 adults and 5 kids 11 and under) make meals in the kitchen and hang out together in the evenings. The den downstairs even had a stock of toys and games to play with. Other little details like good coffee, bathrooms in every bedroom and more, and great big windows and porch with a distant view of Lake Superior made it absolutely perfect. We couldn’t have picked a better place along the North Shore for our summer stay. The mosquitoes were the only downside—they made it hard to enjoy the big yard and fire pit as much as we would have liked. ##### Lacey B.
