The Copper Squirrel is a lovely log cabin in the woods by a beautiful pond in an exquisite setting. The owner, Kerstin, was superb in her communications and her responsiveness, particularly in resolving a double booking issue that was the fault of the booking service and not her. The cabin is lovingly cared for and decorated. There were many amenities including coffee and tea, spices for cooking, many pots and pans for baking, etc, firewood already split to length for a wood stove and an outdoor fire pit. Our favorite place was the screened porch facing the pond. We loved the art work and decor- largely squirrels and collectibles. This would have been an overall 5 for us except we rated the comfort as a 4 for three reasons, which are directly related to our being seniors with some agility issues: the table for two was very high with tall stools that were difficult for us to climb onto, the microwave was on top of a large refrigerator and involved climbing up and down on a step stool (which Kerstin kindly provided for us) with hot food and liquids, and lastly the very comfortable queen bed was tight against a wall on one side and had about a foot of clearance to the wall on its other side, making it very challenging to get in and out of the bed. These likely would not have been an issue if we were a decade younger. It was one of the most peaceful stays during our road trip around the Great Lakes, and clearly she was the most attentive owner of any of our 10 lodgings.
