The property was wonderful. Everything as advertised. The host was very responsive to communication & took care of any questions/issues promptly. Wish we could have stayed longer to just stare out the window at the freshly falling snow! We plan to return! Thx Dale!

Loved the views of Lake Superior throughout the house! We spent much of our time, while at the house, enjoying the view of the water. Nice place to relax and get away from stresses of everyday life.
The falls at Tahquamenon Falls State Park are definitely worth a visit. They are very scenic and a short drive from the house
For those of you considering staying here in the future, note that the nearest grocery store is approximately 30 - 45 minutes away.
The town of Paradise is very small. It does have several restaurants if you decide to stay in for the day relaxing.
Two major concerns about the house. One is the smoke smell residual that remained inside the entire time during our stay. It's evident that the previous renter started a fire in the fireplace during their stay. Unfortunately, the residual smell never left. It bothered both my wife and I during our stay. Fortunately, we were able to open up the house some while we were there.
The other concern involved when we first arrived at the house. All downstairs windows, along with the backdoor, were open. I believe this was due to the fact they the housekeeper was trying to air out the house. The backdoor was very difficult to lock. The owner did inform me that this issue will be addressed this Fall.
The house was not as clean as we have experienced elsewhere. Here again, the owner did state that they just switched housekeeping services.

Great place for our family of 5. Beautiful views and had everything we needed. Very convenient, close to all our activities. Can not say enough about Dale who went above and beyond when our son left his wallet behind.
Would definitely stay here again.

Dale, answered a couple of questions, very timely. Even gave us a heads up on a power outage that the power company was going to implement. So we altered our schedule.
The sunrise was awesome, i have some great pics. In case people want to know, all of the red lights after sunset, are Canadian windmills.

Nice location on the lake, plenty of room inside the house for the family of 6. Over all a good experience

This is an adorable home with timeless and some modern touches. We stayed here as a home base in Paradise, to easily drive to Taquamenon falls and to see the bear ranch. The location was great. The serene private setting was just what we wanted. Waking up to the view of the lake was amazing. Be aware that there is no safe way down to the sand from the yard. The firepit was nice. We were able to walk up to a restaurant (though it is on a busy road). Overall a very good stay!

Our family of 5 had a wonderful week adventuring in the UP and it was made even more memorable by this beautiful cabin. Such a treat! We enjoyed waking up to the sunrises, hearing the waves crash on the rocks below, roasting marshmallows on the fire pit and playing games while cozied up on the big sectional. The property was clean, had everything we needed and the host was a great communicator.

Loves our stay in the UP!
First time in the UP and we relaxed annoyed the view , but also mixed in the sites. Was a great home-base to go to Mackinaw Island, Pictured rocks, Oswald Bear Ranch, Shipwreck Museum and Taquanemon Falls.

The home was just as pictured on the VRBO site. Beautiful, very comfortable home away from home. Amazing sunrise every morning. The home was close to all the sites we were interested in visiting.

My wife and 3 young kids loved this place. Slept well, had everything we needed. Grilled out and used the fire pit also. Great sunrise views!

Camp Gichi Gummi was an awesome place to spend our vacation. Cabin was clean, cozy and very comfortable. Cooked many breakfasts and dinners in the kitchen which has almost everything we needed. But the porch was the star of the week. This is where many relaxing hours were spent reading, doing crossword puzzles and sipping our morning coffee as the waves of Superior lapped the shoreline. Evening campfires by the firepit were momorable and restful sleep came easy after our days in the UP. Beds were very comfortable. We would love to come back to this piece of Paradise again.

We had an amazing time. The house is cute and comfortable. The views of Lake Superior are beautiful. The house was a great "home base" for many things in the eastern UP. We hope to be back. There is so much to explore. We were all sad to leave this place. We could have sat on the deck overlooking the lake for a long time. Great place to view stars and the moon rising! We hope to be back soon!

The house is very cute with an amazing lakefront view from deck. It was very peaceful and relaxing. We made great use of the outdoor firepit while enjoying the view and having fun with friends. We loved the place and the location. It was clean and had everything we needed to make some meals. During our stay we visited the falls, a couple lighthouses, the big spring, and pictured rocks. Loved our time here!

This was a great setting for a much-needed weekend away with friends. The deck was a perfect place to enjoy the sunrise as well as relax after dinner, and we enjoyed being able to cook and have meals together and also warm up by the fireplace.

Great location with an excellent view of the bay. Close to attractions. Water was nice and sandy with several sandbars which we enjoyed. House was very well equipped with all of the amenities needed. Highly recommend

We rented the house for the last week of July, and it was an amazing time away. You have two kids, ages nine and 11, they enjoyed playing in the sand and going into the water of lake Superior. The lake is shallow enough to swim and play for a good distance, but we still used life jackets just in case. As other reviewers have said, the town is small, but there are still a few places to eat as well as grab some necessities. The food price is at the restaurants was reasonable, the grocery stores were more expensive though as to be expected. If there is more shopping needed, highly recommend going to Newberry to do that.
The house is close to a few things, 15 minutes from the shipwreck museum at whitefish point, in 20 minutes from the Tahquamenon Falls (and a great restaurant here), and about 45 minutes Oswald Bear ranch. All of these attractions are highly recommended! There is also the Barb's beach that is recommended by the homeowners, directions are in the booklet. It is a very secluded beach, and you will most likely have it to yourself. We enjoyed every sunrise we could weather depending. And even caught a sunset up at whitefish point. We also went down to St. Ignace, and then back up to Sault ste. Marie, in the same day. We normally vacation in the Mackinaw area. This was a great change from that area, due to the distance of everything, but it was a very nice and quiet time to connect with the family and with nature.
The house was very well kept, and had plenty of incidentals already there. Whether it was cooking supplies or cleaning supplies, we were very happy with all that was provided. Plenty of towels and other linens. Even in the last week of July, still got cool enough to keep the house a nice temperature by opening the windows at night. Also, as others have stated, the Wi-Fi was amazing, because after a long day everyone needed to wind down with a little bit of tech. Dale was very quick to respond with anything we needed, and we are very happy with our experience.
If you're looking for a place to stay right on lake Superior with an amazing view, look no further!

Lake Superior rental
We enjoyed our stay in this home. The view was beautiful and the location was close to a couple of grocery stores.
We were a party of 4 adults and two of the three bedrooms had bathroom attached. The Wi-Fi was great.
Tahquamenon falls is really close. We also visited Pictured Rocks, Sault Ste Marie.

Great view, clean and well-kept, everything we needed
Great property—loved the view. The house was very well taken care of and clean, decorated neat. It had everything we needed. Main floor bedroom was perfect for our handicapped daughter.

A perfect getaway for us
Overall, this home is well maintained, appropriately updated, and cozy. Plenty of room for the four of us to just "vibe," inside and out.
And when we went on day trips, it was a nice place to come back to, tucked in the trees with excellent views of Whitefish Bay/Lake Superior. Be prepared, of course, for the geographic location to which you are headed – there aren't any large towns directly nearby, so plan accordingly. Local stores have most of what you'll need if you forget something, but fresh produce/groceries are scarce. Similar to any town of 475 people.
We had a perfect experience, really, and would recommend this property to those looking for a remote getaway.
