Absolutely perfect.

We have been going up to Ontonagon for the last 10 years. This wonderful home is the best we have stayed in. Very warm and inviting and had everything we needed. The weather was not the best so we never got to use the kayaks but we had an amazing time. Thank you

The seclusion and peace were wonderful. The property and woods were so quiet, like there was only us on the planet. The house is just lovely and the owners thought of everything, right down to a cart to help transport our necessities to the lake. The master bed is amazing! Will definately stay longer here next time.

Happy Place is named appropriately!

We had a fantastic time at this rental for a long 4-day weekend. Six of us enjoyed everything about the property, but the lighted path to the sitting area by the Big Lake was gorgeous! We can't be happier with the entire place, as well as the owners and their communication prior/during/after. Everything is as stated, or better ... we've booked again already!

Beautiful gem on Lake Superior

Great central location for day trips between Porcupine mountains and Copper Harbor. The home is recently updated and exceeded expectations with how clean and cozy it is. There are several fireplaces, and a lighted path to the shoreline which has a firepit and chairs for relaxing. The home owner was very accommodating and attentive. We plan to be back again, 5 stars all around! Bring your camera so much to see!

A place to Perfect Relaxation

This is a beautiful home in a beautiful setting. The home welcomed us in the minute we opened the door, and every single thing we needed was right there for us. The peace and quiet of the woods and Lake Superior down the path make this the most relaxing place we have ever found. It's minutes away from exploring the beauty of the porcupine mountains, and there are so many hiking trails to enjoy. You can tell this is a well loved home prepared by Cristel for her guests, and she loves sharing it.

Beautiful property

Has a wonderful time. The property is just beautiful. The trail down to superior was glorious, the setting down by the water was everything we could have asked for in soaking in the beauty of Lake Superior! The house layout was perfect, the beds were very comfortable. We loved the opened of the kitchen, dining, and living room. The sliding glass doors leading into the deck give a beautiful view of the property down to the water. We couldn't have been happier with our choice! Super easy and nice communication with the owner. Thanks so much for sharing your home!

Our happy place, too!

We stayed four nights at the Manson’s UP Happy Place. It was everything we hoped for and more. It was super clean, which is the most important condition for me. The decor was warm and inviting, very up to date. It is much more spacious than it looks from the outside and the views are lovely, like you’re staying in the northwoods, which you are! The walk to the lake is well lit and easy to navigate, no stumps or roots to trip you up. We saw several deer over the few days we stayed and lots of birds. We didn’t see any black bear although we had been warned there had been sightings near the lake recently so we were on the lookout! The master bed we slept in was comfortable, and we enjoyed the living room fireplace in the mornings when it was chilly. The kitchen is well stocked with every pan or utensil we could possibly need. Although there are other homes along the drive and it is just off the main highway, we heard nothing but sounds of nature; no voices or vehicles could be heard! It was the perfect home with all the privacy you could ask for. The only thing I might pass along is that there are no window coverings in master bedroom so if you need more darkness to sleep, you might want a sleep mask during summer months when it’s light earlier and later but it didn’t affect us. Just a thought… We got groceries at Pat’s IGA in Ontonagon before arriving at the house. We also visited Bond Falls on our way home. It’s worth the drive as a day trip if you have time. Really beautiful! All in all, I’d call this a 5 star plus rental. I couldn’t have asked for a lovelier stay, just what we were looking for. Thank you Christel for quick, thorough communication and for creating this happy place and sharing it with us! Bob and Jan

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely lake house! It was the perfect spot for our family to reconnect and relax. We especially enjoyed kayaking on Lake Superior and took full advantage of the well-stocked kitchen for cooking meals together. The cozy and spacious layout made it ideal for late-night board games and quality family time. Thank you for providing such a welcoming and comfortable home — we truly had a memorable experience!

Perfect location for enjoying the UP whether you want to hike the Porkies, visit nearby waterfalls, explore Ontonagon and surrounding communities, or simply relax at the home. We especially enjoyed the back deck overlooking the path to the beach. The host had anticipated all our needs and quickly responded to questions. The tiled walk-in showers and high quality appliances gave the home a luxurious feel. We would enjoy staying here again and recommend it without hesitation.
