Family Ski Trip
We came to the UP to ski but unfortunately there was very little snow on the ski hills. But no worries there was plenty to do between exploring the many waterfalls just down the road to gathering around the fireplace at the Chateau to play games and watch movies. The house has so much space that our group of 12 was never crowded. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, glasses and cookware. But the amount of cookware & bowls could be down sized and better organized. The only issues we encountered were the extra plates we grabbed from the downstairs kitchen were dirty and we couldn’t get the tv to work beyond spectrum channels. Better Instructions would be helpful. We ended up just casting to use the apps off an iPhone to watch movies. We were pleasantly surprised by the Christmas tree & great decorations!! Loved our time here! We will be back! P.S the laminated guide for the area was fantastic!

Great friends weekend
We had a great weekend with a group of friends. There were 9 of us, but could have comfortably fit more people. The kitchens were fully stocked and had all we needed for the weekend. We would highly recommend this house and hope to come back again next year!

Great Labor Day Weekend!
I give Chateau Merlot 5 stars, and you will see real stars at night sitting at the bon fire! We lucked out with the weather, but if we had to stay in the place was clean and has such a friendly atmosphere.. My friends and I are planning to come back next year. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves!

Girls Trip
Chateau Merlot This chateau is amazing and exactly as described. Very spacious yet cozy. We’re repeat renters. We stayed 5 days. It’s summertime and had perfect weather. We enjoyed the wonderful deck every day. Enough tables and chairs for our whole group to sit & relax, play games, share meals, fresh air and just enjoy nature! Great view from inside. It’s very accommodating, clean and comfortable. Open concept for the kitchen, dining area and living room. Great for keeping the conversations going. Kitchen was fully stocked, had everything we needed for cooking, serving and eating. Main level has 3 bedrooms, comfy beds and 2 full bathrooms lessen any wait time. Only regret was not making time to use the new sauna. Although July isn’t skiing season, there were many activities available to us. The chateau is also not far from Lake Superior and many breathtaking waterfalls. Looking forward to our next visit!!

Peaceful and in a wooded area. There was no kettle to boil water for hot chocolate/tea. Enjoyed being able to eat outside on the deck when the weather was nice.

Nice stay
Location of rental was nice. Close to many summer activities and cute towns. The rental accommodated a rental party if all adults comfortably. The basement (with bedrooms) was musty and mold was a concern. A dehumidifier in the basement would be nice. We opened the windows for fresh air. The kitchen was well equipped and was large enough for us to cook and eat all our meals in. We did not use the sauna so no review on that. We had what we needed for a comfortable and relaxing weekend. Thank you 😊

Summer 2022 Group Vacation was a hit!
We were very satisfied with this rental. We had 4 couples and plenty of space! It was clean and well stocked with all the necessities, including marshmallow roasting sticks. It is located in the perfect location for our adventures chasing waterfalls, hiking the Porkies, and hunting Yooperlites. We would recommend this place and even consider for future stays.
