Nice place but..
Would I stay there again? Yes. The location was great and having the beach right there was perfect. The price per night was right for two families splitting the bill. Here are some concerns we had. 1. Limited dinnerware and utensils. Bring extra plates for family bigger than 4. 2. The master bedroom on the first floor had spackle all over the walls that were not shown in the photos. It's not too big of a deal, but it appears that the finishing work was halted. The window in this room was not able to close once opened. So we had to go outside to shut it at night. 3. The instruction book stated that we had to remove all bedding and place it into bags. We did not feel that this was our job, but we did. However, we were not able to find enough bags for the amount of laundry that was there. 4. We ere not able to adjust the heat up. The crazy winds for two days had the screen door coverings moving with leaking air, Even with the fireplace going it was cold in the morning at 66 degrees with the drafts inside. Overall, for the location and price for two families, not a bad place, and would consider staying again. It was "clean" but could use a thorough deep cleaning.

Incredible beach location
Our group of 10 enjoyed the private beach and proximity to activities in the Keweenaw peninsula. The house was tight for 10, and wasn't really setup for more than 6. It would be good to have place settings and seating to accommodate everyone in the group. The house could use some TLC - a thorough cleaning, repairs to doors and windows, paint, and furniture. It was not clear that the outdoor space is shared with several other rentals - though the other guests were great, and it wasn't a problem. A toilet in an unfinished stone basement with steep stairs and no handrail is generally not considered a "bathroom," this is a two bath house. The owner promptly provided missing bedding and towels. The sunsets on the beach were amazing.

Risposta di VrboOwner, il giorno 27 lug 2023
HA! Most of this is a lie... This entitled guest's ego was bruised when reminded of firework laws on July 5 and after trying to force a lock to a private garage that he assumed should be available to him despite no mention in the listing. As far as seating and place settings, the dinning table (also pictured in the listing) seats 10 as well as an additional table on the patio with another 8 seats plus folding table available with additional seating to accommodate 20 or more total. This historical 120 year old home has been very well maintained over the years however we apologize if you found a peel of paint. Had that bothered you so bad I would have appreciated hearing about it from you so I could paint it for the next guest to avoid such criticism and ruin their vacation too. Clearly with renters who force locks you can imagine I have minor repairs that pop up all the time. If you find something, say something. Don't be that guy and stay silent until review time. Trust that it would not be in my own business interest to let things fall to pieces as this guest portrays and I'm sure my star rating would reflect that. As far as it being clean is such a stretch and you can read every other review of how clean our staff prepares the home for guests. There is also no shared space as you have your own yard in front facing the lake and the back yard of the house. Your budget could not afford you the privacy on Lake Superior you expected as it is not even a thing... 10 feet from the high water mark is public everywhere on Lake Superior and we have no neighbors (besides my other couple of rentals at this beach) for miles of undeveloped private beach. It really doesn't get more private with most vacation rentals in the Keweenaw having many neighbors or in lakeside communities. You did not rent the whole of Lake Superior, so ridiculous to think that at the low competitive rate you paid and for what you got. On to the basement half bath... again it is a 120 year old historical home and back then they didn't build finished "man cave" basements so the half bath off of the basement laundry room is listed exactly as that, a room, toilet and a sink. To imply I'm putting false information on my listing is rude but you are sad to lie about the effort put in before and during your stay by the housekeeping staff. Next vacation take a deep breath and remember just because you assume something does not make it law or how it is. If you are corrected, don't get upset and move on.

Fantastic Family Fun
North Shore Cottages are located on a private beach on Lake Superior. Beautiful sunsets, rises and if your lucky, northern lights. Cottage and grounds filled with family fun house games yard games, boating, kayaking, with lots to do close by. Rock hunting, waterfalls, hiking, museums, shopping. Fun for whole family all week. Our second time there can't wait to go back again.

Wonderful home for our family!
What an amazing location on the shores of Lake Superior. We loved our spot on the shoreline and were happy to find Yooperlites each evening. The firepit on the deck provided two nights of pure Michigan fun! My parents, grandmother, sister, nephew, and kids enjoyed the perfect weekend in this ideal home. We all traveled North to celebrate my oldest son's graduation from Michigan Tech. The house was clean and with 5 bedrooms, had all the space we needed. We ate breakfast each morning enjoying the sound of Lake Superior waves. We found great lunch options in Calumet and enjoyed takeout pizza from Calumet Works, a delicious dinner at Michigan House Cafe & Brewpub, and a graduation celebration dinner at Carmelitas, complete with thimbleberry margaritas. Delicious UP coffee was provided along with many other fun delights. The MTU colored and themed flowers on the table were the very best surprise! The owners are caring and the sweet message they left for us was heartfelt. Everything they did and provided only added to our celebration. We truly do hope to venture back often and with our second son starting at MTU in the fall, I'm certain we'll be back!

Wonderful memories
The entire family from our 1 year old granddaughter all the way to my 72 year old husband loved the cottage and location. Quiet, beautiful view of Lake Superior and fantastic rock hunting. Close enough for short day trips to Copper Harbor to Houghton. Would love the owners to include some history on the McNaughton Cottage. Great time. Would highly recommend.

The view is superb!!
If you are looking for a secluded getaway with direct access to Lake Superior's majestic shoreline, time with family spent in an accommodating kitchen and cozying up to gaze at a cozy fireplace -- this is the place for you. We were able to gather our whole family for dinner - 14 people at the kitchen table -- such a nice blessing as we all congregated from different states.

Great location, plenty of space for gathering
excellent location on lake superior, beautiful sunsets and night skies, Place listed three bathrooms but one was a half bath in unfinished basement with steep stairs which no one wanted to use. Pet friendly, and overall pretty clean but we had issues with the garbage disposal/dishwasher not working and property owner said he'd put on the list to fix for next guest vs fixing it for us. The farm table was very sticky and dirty, we tried scrubbing with clorox wipes but never quite got it clean.. I think it needs deep cleaning and sealing... sort of like eating on outdoor picnic table with years of grime and dirt. Indoor and Outdoor gas fireplace was nice, but had to call to get propane tanks. Firewood for beach firepit also a special request,and was told to look for driftwood on beach? Other VRBO's we used typically provide firewood, but was appreciated of firewood provided next day so we could experience fire on beach on dark sky. Overall very great but place is in need of TLC and repairs, windows hard to open, blinds and door wall screen need replacing, etc.

Family Reunion
We had a mini reunion with my siblings to inter our parents’ ashes. We were supposed to do it in 2020 but had to cancel due to Covid-19. My daughter and her family and my husband and I stayed in this cottage. It was perfect for our family! All of the kids got to have their own bedroom, which they were delighted about! It had everything we needed. Plenty of room at the kitchen table for my whole family. The deck was big enough for all of us to be together. We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back again!

Beautiful home with wonderful service
The home was very beautiful , spacious and clean. Our family of 5 only used the main level and had plenty of space. The views of Lake Superior were absolutely stunning. Communication with Phillip was outstanding-he responded very quickly to all questions. We managed to lock ourselves out of the home and also came over very quickly with a smile and spare key. Highly recommended home!

Perfect getaway
We loved our stay at MacNaughton's Retreat. The house is exactly as the pictures and very comfortable! Amazing views of Lake Superior and great location on the peninsula as a jumping off point for exploring. Cottages are grouped together to create a little village of sorts but spaced far enough apart with walls and landscaping to allow privacy. Phillip and Sara are very welcoming and responsive for any questions you might have. Super close to Calumet for groceries, etc. but far enough away to feel remote. Perfect getaway for Labour Day weekend and we will certainly be back!

Week long small family get-a-way
Our family very much enjoyed our time here! Plenty of space both inside and out for our small family to play and have their time to themselves as well. We loved the close proximity of the lake/rock beach. The only thing to note is while there is AC in the house, it is a wall unit on the main level. If you have people sleeping upstairs (which we did not), it might get a little hotter up there. Normally this is not a problem as it doesn't get that hot along the shore anyway...we just happened to have a couple of hotter days during our stay. Over-all...mutliple family members have requested that we come back to this same spot next year!

Lake Superior
Beautiful sunsets, nice flat lawn for games, nice deck, well-equipped kitchen. Beach access was good, fire pit was great. Local brewery in Calumet nearby was excellent (I think it was called Michigan Pub). It was very hot and windows would not open (many without screens); many non-working lightbulbs (in fairness, we did not contact owner to request any). Was not clear from description that there are cottages right behind and adjacent to this one and beach is shared. Also, 3rd bathroom is in unfinished basement (we did not use, though we appreciated the use of laundry down there). We were fortunate to have quiet neighbors but our peaceful retreat could have been much different. We contacted owner x2 prior to trip with question about internet connectivity and received no reply.

Beautiful Sunset Every Night
This home was perfect for 5 of us to have a get away into the U.P. this fall. We each had our own room with plenty of room in the living room and outside area for fun things. The kitchen is perfect with a very big table - as usual, all of the fun events happened there - cards, dice, food, drinks, laughs. And the sunsets - every night even when it looked cloudy resulted in a beautiful sunset. This home is perfect for a big family get-away/reunion or a group of friends having fun.

Wonderful 60th Anniversary trip!
We stayed at MacNaughton's Retreat as a 60th anniversary celebration for my parents for 7 days and 6 nights in August. We had 10 people and 3 dogs and were very comfortable. We could all sit together around the large kitchen table, in the large living room, on the deck and patio and even around the firepit by the lake. Philip, our VRBO Superhost, was very responsive and took care of a minor hot water problem as soon as he could and helped us use the electric sauna. There was a nice size yard for the dogs to play. I would describe this location as somewhat secluded although there are 3 other cottage rentals nearby. We used the newer kayaks on a calm day on Lake Superior and had some beautiful bonfires on cloudless, star-filled night skies. It was close enough to Calumet, sightseeing and visiting family in Copper Country. We had very good wi-fi service, but no cell service (we got it easily when we went to Calumet). There were so many things to do, we rarely even turned on the flat screen TV. We would love to stay there again in the future and highly recommend the property and VRBO Superhost, Philip Roberts!

Quiet, spacious, relaxing...
Home was as advertised, and newly redone. Very clean, lots of room and gorgeous location right on shore of Lake Superior. We were there for snowmobiling, and there was plenty of space for my 27'ft trailer. Located 7.1 miles from trail and when roads are covered w/snow, can ride right from house. When not covered, there is option to park and launch feet from the trail. Was at end of dead-end street so very quiet as well. Would recommend.

We had a fantastic time at the property and in the area. Mr.Roberts was a great host.
The purpose of our trip was to see fall colors and be by a large body of water. The trip was superb on both counts. Mr. Roberts was helpful, understanding, and prompt through the entire experience of reserving the property, arriving, staying, and departing. There are three good restaurants in the area. Carmetita's, Michigan House, and Harbor Haus. The short trip to Harbor Haus is worth the trip alone but the food is an added bonus. Lake Superior was magnificent to see and experience. From the property, the sky is clear and can be seen without any urban glare. The property itself is snug, clean, sturdy (for tough winters), and well provisioned. Thank you Mr Roberts

Comfortable and Accommodating
Our family had a wonderful time at the lake house. There was plenty of room for the 8 of us and we especially appreciated the large kitchen which could easily accommodate all of us for dinners together. The Keweenaw has always been our favorite place to vacation in the UP and the lake house is in a beautiful part of it, situated right on Lake Superior. We thank Peter for his hospitality and for providing a beautiful and well-appointed place we could all get together and catch up.

Nicely appointed house, great location, and super responsive management
We had a group of 8 guys who came up on a snowmobile trip and to enjoy the Copper Dog. House worked out great even for a bigger group of this size. House has a lot of beds and 2 air mattresses for anyone that needs additional space. House is scenically situated right on the Big Lake so you get awesome views of Gitchee Gumee. There was a warm up right before we came so the route to the trails became compromised, but Philip was super responsive in helping direct us to an alternate solution. Overall this house worked out great for our needs....lots of trailer parking, well appointed, and comfortable. I can also see how this place would be absolutely stunning during other times of the year when the Lake is not frozen....it is perfectly situated for a summer or fall getaway.

Had another amazing weekend, in the UP - much thanks to Phillip and his North Shore Cottages! This 5 bedroom cottage was clean, comfortable and well stocked - couldn't have asked for better lodging for our 4 couples! We all relaxed and enjoy every moment - we definitely plan on coming back. I can't say enough about Phillips hospitality and willingness to accommodate - thank you - hope to see you soon!

We were driving from a long distance away during the winter season and were not sure when we would be arriving. Phillip had the house warmed up for us and lights on to welcome us. The house was charming, and our family enjoyed a nice comfortable weekend together. The extra touches such as the welcome basket with water, cocoa, breakfast bars was wonderful. Definitely would stay here again.
