Our family of 8 gathered here for the 4th of July weekend. We had a wonderful time in this beautiful house which had a perfect view of nature and the Chocolay River! Seven of us slept here very comfortably. This house was so well stocked with everything imaginable. I was still discovering things on our last day. (Thank you so much for this, Valerie!) I am used to having to bring so many things from my own house, but needed absolutely nothing from home here. We loved sitting outside on the deck, on the patio, and/or in lawn chairs on the grass as we caught up with friends and family in the area. We enjoyed watching the bunnies, birds, squirrels, and chipmunks playing in the yard. We also loved sitting in the hot tub, fishing while kayaking, hiking on the trails, and playing board games. We were able to walk to two great restaurants/bars and Marquette was just a hop, skip, and jump away for all the things we wanted to do in the area. My grown kids and spouses enjoyed going just down the road to jump into their ice bath (Lake Superior). Valerie was an excellent host! We would love to stay here again!
