Family going back to our father’s birthplace
With four siblings and their spouses, we converged on a beautifully appointed home in the woods! Campfires, walks, games in the large yard overlooking Lake Superior, there was so much much comfort, joy and relaxation in the house! A warm fireplace in the great room, large eating area, table big enough for all, lovely large bedrooms! The garage so big we could play cornhole! Our stay was just delightful, and we wholeheartedly recommend this home!

Great property w/ view and access
Very well maintained and clean property. Access to downtown in minutes, very quiet location with a great view. We especially enjoyed the North facing balcony with a view to the lake and Sunrise/Sunset colors. Well setup for every season and would recommend this residence for families and/or friends. Nice ski/ORV setup as well. Perfect place for all

Amazing location and house
The house and property are beautiful! Amazing sunset views with room for the kids to run. The house is fully furnished with no details overlooked. The game room provides a space for the kids to gather. Truly the best VRBO we have stayed at and it made a perfect setting for our family (of 14) vacation.

A Grand Stay in Grand Marais, MI
We had a wonderful Summer family vacation at this property in Grand Marais, MI. We had a total of nine people in our group, which included 4 teenagers. The house easily fit all of us and had plenty of options to keep everyone entertained. The kids really enjoyed the game room and bedroom they shared. All the beds were very comfortable, and the bathrooms had everything you need to feel at home. The owner was more than accommodating and very helpful. They gave us suggestions for places to hike, eat, and shop at that didn't disappoint. The house sits in a great spot overlooking Lake Superior and the friendly town of Grand Marais. The town has some great places to eat, drink, and shop at. The people around town were friendly and helpful as well. The sunset at the home was like none we had ever seen. We had one clear night while there that gave us unforgettable Northen Lights show (when using our camera phone filters). Au Sable lighthouse and Log Slide are a few miles away, and you're within a 1.5-hour drive to Pictured Rocks and Tahquamenon Falls. Both are worth the visit, and if going to Pictured Rocks we'd recommend viewing them by water. We hope to come back in the winter months to snowmobile through the UP and take advantage of the drive through snowmobile wing attached to the home. A Great Home on the Great Lakes with a Great owner. What more could ask for!

Great house & beautiful location!
The house was awesome! Lots of room and more than enough bedrooms/bathrooms for three couples to spend a few days together discovering the UP! We explored the area and had a great time! The fire pit and backyard are beautiful and the game room was a bonus. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us.

Fabulous house. Great accommodations. Beautiful views. We visited Whitefish Point and Sault Ste. Marie. We also spent a day in town. It was fun to visit Grand Marais Tavern and the Dunes Saloon. I would recommend to stay here if you enjoy the outdoors but want a place to come back to so you can cook out, make dinners, enjoy the fire, and visit with family or friends.

Amazing property
The views are absolutely stunning! This house has it all and it is a beautiful house! Comfortable and well thought out and well appointed. We didn’t get to use the garage (we don’t have toys) or the fire pit (weather) but the house fit us perfectly and was a great location! The property owner was helpful and kind and a great resource! Yes, it isn’t cheap, but worth the money, esp if you have toys! We had a great stay. Thanks!

What an amazing home base for our annual adventure! The home was perfect, the view was amazing! The weather was fantastic and the trails were great! We had a fantastic week at your place, the home was spotless, the beds were great, it had everything we needed! Highlights: two hearted River, Crisp Point lighthouse, Benny the Troll, log slide, many waterfalls, Uglyfish Bakery, Dunes Saloon for dinner. We got a personal tour of the Pickle Barrel museum as well. 320 miles of trails on the side by sides. Thanks for sharing the Ridge with us this week!

Phenomenal
My family and I had the pleasure of staying at the Ridge for a week in August 2023. What an incredible property!! We have been coming to Northern Michigan/U.P. for 15 years now, and hands down, this was the nicest house we have ever stayed in. The views of Lake Superior and Grand Marais Harbor from the house were jaw-dropping. We never got tired of looking out the windows and were sad when it was time to leave. The house is spotless and extremely well-maintained. The owners are fantastic to deal with. They checked in periodically to make sure everything was going well and to see if they could answer any questions. The house was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. (We used the large propane grill to cook dinner each night.) Plus, we were greeted with a treat basket full of delicious goodies, as well as two high quality thermal tumblers as a welcome gift. We have never felt so appreciated as house guests! We had a blast playing all the games in the separate game room -- foosball, ping pong, pop-a-shot, corn hole. My husband used the separate exercise room every morning. The house is ideally situated to explore Pictured Rocks, as well as other nearby attractions. (Crisp Point Lighthouse was a highlight of the trip.) Grand Marais is a magical place, made all the more special by being able to stay in this incredible property. Would stay here again in a heart beat.

Couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay. My husband and I were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with our 5 adult children and their spouse and we all agreed the house was perfect both in amenities and location. Lots to do in the area - atv riding, hiking, lighthouse tours, Picture Rock sunset cruise and just hanging at the house together. Would definitely come back again. Beautiful home!

Reunion
Best VRBO house we've ever stayed in! Re-lived a family vacation from 30 years ago to the UP. House was plenty big enough for the next generation with 7 adults and 4 kids under the age of 6. Didn't use 1 full bedroom. JD and Jason were great hosts and very helpful before and during stay, neighbor is remote enough, but was very nice and came over to warn us about a bear in the area. House is better furnished than our own house, beds very comfortable. Game room/yard games provided endless entertainment. Very clean and easy to clean. The toy garage hosted many dance contests. View of Grand Marais harbor and sunsets was amazing. We wish the house was about 10-12 hours closer to us so we could go back more frequently. Only negative comment (and this is very very minor) a few extra dish towels would be helpful. To avoid some gravelly roads, map directions to Grand Marais and then the house, rather than directly to the house.

Perfect UP summer getaway
The house was amazing! Perfect home base for all our UP adventures. Clean, well stocked, and plenty of space for our two families vacationing together. Teens loved the game and bunk room. View was incredible. Everything we needed plus a few extra comforts. Owner even gave our car a jump start when battery died as we were checking out! Only teensie tiny complaint was that the lights in the entire house were super dim. But in the summertime there was so much daylight it wasn’t much of an issue. Wish we could have stayed longer and would definitely come again.
