10 stars all the way!
Amazing home, space, view, people to work with! The owner Luke was almost instantly responsive to any questions or info I needed. I've never stayed in a vrbo that was that well-stocked with EVERYTHING. And the view was breathtakingly magnificent. The cleaner Renee couldn't have been nicer or more helpful with all of our questions and needs. I give Luke, his staff and home a thousand stars!

Fabulous time!
Our family and friends from Germany had a wonderful time staying in this lovely home in a beautiful setting. The area is so peaceful and the house so well equipped! We were really impressed and grateful for all the extra nice touches the hosts included. We usually need an extensive supply run after checking in but that was not necessary this time. We loved the outdoor spaces. The communication with the hosts was prompt and thorough,

Family vacation
Fantastic views of the lake. I'm sure sunrises are amazing, but you have to get up pretty early to see it😂 this property is very well stocked with everything you may need for your stay. The baby gates on the stairs were very much appreciated as we had small kids with us. The layout of the house was a little funky, but once we got used to it, it was fine. There was plenty of room for everyone to have the space they needed. We had a great vacation! Managers were very quick to get back to us with any questions or concerns we had. It was quite buggy outside, but could have just been a hatch this time of year bring near the water. We had a great time and are glad we chose this property for our family vacation!

Big place - Great Hosts
Our stay here was fantastic, just missed mud season which made it even better. Great outdoor lot as well here, roomy backyard for our K9's and frisbee, pretty private, fire at the pit, great lakefront to get down to via a static rope, lots of shoreline got explored! More than enough room inside the place, we only ended up using half of it! Well stocked with dishes, seasonings, towels, blankets, plenty of kitchen utensils (pots/pans/everything) sometimes you don't get this at vrbo's, paper towels, kleenex, grill was full of LP. Real comfortable inside, roomy. Has a nice porch out back, a nice upper deck, nice screened in porch, all with seating. To top it off the owners are great, super responsive, they take care of their place and it shows. We had a great time and will more than likely be back. Thanks for having us Luke!

The prosperity is very spacious and has separate spaces for multiple families, beautiful views of the lake and an awesome well stocked kitchen! We enjoyed grilling and a bon fire overlooking the lake. We loved the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks, and are looking forward to be back next year!

Lots of peace and quiet
This was a great property. Lots of room to move around. The neighborhood was very quiet - we only saw one car go past the house in 4 days. The crows nest was a wonderful spot to sit and watch Lake Superior. We could hear the lake from our windows every night. A few good hiking spots nearby like Meyers Beach. I would definitely book again.

Wonderful Lake Superior spot to escape
This “cabin” by the lake is great for small or large groups. The location is on the water (listen to the waves) with a spectacular sunrise orientation. It is remote, but we loved it as it was ideally located for the activities we enjoy - bike riding (check out trails in Duluth and north shore), kayaking (Cornucopia and Washburn), hiking, and relaxing with the sound of the waves. The cabin is well appointed and has the most spectacular kitchen that is well stocked with cookware and great knives that actually do the job when slicing and dicing. (We stay in a lot of rentals, and this usually is not the case.) Cornucopia, Apostle Islands, and Bayfield are all excellent. Plus, we found a great pup sitter in the general area via Rover.com for our Mylo when we were out with activities he couldn’t join in on. Also, if you are there in the summer, Bayfield has an amazing collection of produce/fruit stands. Iron River has an exceptional meat market (Jim’s). And, be sure to enjoy a Friday fish fry if you are in the area. We were there almost two weeks. Enjoy!

Relax with a view
Luke and Miranda's property has an amazing view. We had 4 families staying here and there was enough space to fit all of us extremely comfortably. Waking up to the waves of Lake Superior crash against the cliffs and watching the ice flows go in and out with the tide is hypnotizing and one of the best ways to forget about the cares of daily life. The space was clean and well taken care of. The hosts were extremely responsive to all of our inquiries and were a pleasure to work with.

Huge house, completely private
We were nine people and a few dogs, we stayed in Herbster for five days. Could not have been happier with the place! Plenty of room, well-equipped, very comfortable. Just a 40 minute, beautiful drive from Bayfield, where we visited twice ... though we were happy to spend most of our time just hanging out in the big yard playing games and watching the lake. We will definitely be back!

Very spacious, great location, interesting layout!
The home is large with a huge table in the family room/dinning are so all 11 of us were able to eat together with elbow room, as well as play board games, and gather. Great access to kitchen, with many supplies provided. House layout is unique, a person can get lost (really fun for the kids). Although a bit unconventional as a private residence, it's perfect as a recreational property, especially for large groups! Location on Superior is really special, listening to the waves crash on the rocks. All of us in the group would love to return.

We had a great get away with my family! Although the weather was not the greatest the house was perfect for lots of food, games and laughter. The house is very large at first we all got lost. Great place for kids playing hide and seek. The kitchen and game room were very well stocked. The owner got back to us in a timely manner with any questions we had. But everything we needed was right at the house. Thank you for sharing your lovely property with us.
