Very nice stay
Had a great stay at this property. It worked perfect for our vacation to the Porkies! The house was very clean and well cared for. We had a blast using the ping pong table in the basement also. Would definitely stay here again.

The house was very cute and a good location in Ontanagon. The upstairs shower was hard to get into without anything to hold on to as it is over a clawfoot tub.

Quiet Neighborhood and Great Base location
We spent 3 nights at this location, using this Ontonagon home as our base for having our U.P. adventures. The neighborhood is quiet, the town is quiet which for us coming from a big city was a welcome relief. The beds were incredibly comfortable. Our intentions were to use the home to accomadate our food allergy son, and we found the kitchen was slightly lacking for what we needed it to be so while I can't call it perfect, the host was welcoming in communication before check in and at check out and it's location was perfect for our day trips hiking in the Porcupine Mountains and along Copper Harbor's beaches so it made up for it.

house close to beach, clean, and comfortable.
It is a cute, clean house, close to where I was working. I have a problem with Evolve assessing an insurance damage fee as line-item cost on the bill. By the time I saw it, I had already submitted my request and would face a penalty for cancelling. I will not be using a VRBO with this company again.

Awesome
Really nice big place. Rooms for all of us and we even had an extra room we didn't use. Fully stocked kitchen with everything we needed. Kids loved the basement amenities which gave us adults privacy upstairs. Blocks from Lake Superior and the main road through downtown, you can walk to both. A new one for us (3rd time in Ontonagon) a guy in a dogsled was sledding around through the city streets, awesome. I really was a little depressed when I had to leave.

Great location and nice home
Very clean and newer updates to an older home. Very short walk to the beach which was so beautiful. We didn’t pack a pack and play for our 2 year old, and although there was one at the property, it was a small one and she didn’t fit in that one comfortably. Would stay here again. There were 5 adults and 1 child in our party and the house fit all of us comfortably. There were 2 beach chairs and a small cooler which was nice to have for the beach. Also, the owners had a bad Minton set which we enjoyed. Thanks again for a great stay.

What a lovely home! Everything is so nice and very well thought out. Very charming! We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely book this home again next year! Plenty of room for the whole family. My husband and I can’t wait to bring our children up for a visit. Very short walk to the beach or to town. This property has everything you’ll need for a wonderful stay!

Family visit Ontonagon
House was the perfect size for our needs. We had 2 families, a family of 1adult with 1child and family of 2adults with 2children. The house was very clean and had everything needed for the stay, minus food of course. The ping pong table was a nice bonus for the kids. Took 1 star off because the tub upstairs was leaking from the drain pipe. We let the owner know right away. She responded right away. We opted to not use that one and use the other 2 showers for the rest of the stay which was doable. Bathroom was usable just not the shower/ tub. Location was great also. You did feel safe and the beach, shops, and restaurants were right down the street. We would definitely stay there again.

Great house in safe neighborhood
This house was amazing. Basement even had full extra living room and ping pong table with ball and paddles! Great neighborhood. We walked to Syl's restaurant, the coffee shop, and to the beach. All just a 5 or 10 minute walk. Great stay for visiting the Porcupine Mountains. Would recommend.

Weekend Get Away
I was very pleased with the cleanliness of house. Everything was well kept. The upkeep and cleanliness made the home feel welcoming. I also enjoyed sleeping in a king size bed, many places do not offer king size beds. We wanted to do rock hunting and there were beaches close enough to offer that. Syl's restaurant has amazing food and was just blocks away and Connie's offers great coffee and lattes. I love old houses that are kept up and this is one of them. From the crown molding, to the oversized trim, wood floors, and the staircase railings were all in wonderful well kept condition which I enjoyed. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property.

Ontonagon VRBO Review
Very clean, well-appointed, and cozy (yet more than sufficiently spacious). Quiet neighborhood. Conveniently located to local businesses and all outdoor activities the western Upper Peninsula has to offer. Elizabeth sets the standard for VRBO hosts. Throw in the ultra-reasonable rates and I don't see much, if any, reason to consider alternate lodging.
