Great location!
The home was a great location for the Porcupines and surrounding waterfalls. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The property is tucked into the woods and very private. The beach was an added bonus. Communication with the owner was quick and easy. We are planning on returning to this little gem. If you’re looking in this area for a rental, this is the place!!

Truly Superior accommodations!
The Manson home is beautiful with everything you need for a perfect weekend getaway or extended stay. With the majestic Lake Superior shoreline only a stone's throw from the house and the Porcupine Mountains a short drive away, breathtaking views abound. We'd stay at their home again in a heartbeat. Everything about the experience was great!

Cozy and comfortable
We stayed in a few rentals while in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This was by far our favorite. It was so clean, so beautifully decorated, and so comfortable. Definitely the best beds we had on this trip, super comfortable with crisp white linens. The location on the beach was ideal. We were able to rock hunt and collect driftwood while watching the sunset, then take the lighted path back to the house. Our checkout chore list was a bit extensive considering the cleaning fee we were charged. Scaling this back would be our only suggestion.

About the host

Hosted by Chad & Christel Manson

Host profile image
We are often referred to as the Manson 3, or the three best friends. Chad and Christel have been married for almost 20 years, and have an amazing son, Connor, who will be a high schooler this year. We have two amazing Schnauzer puppies, and love all the things about the UP.

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to this area for 10 years, and had been looking for the exact right spot for a year or so. When Christel walked into the home she knew this was her happy place. Everything about it screamed us, and we couldn't be happier about the decision!

What makes this property unique

This home is remote, yet right off a main road. It has a beautiful beach on Superior. It provides solitude and many activities. It really is a piece of heaven.
