Little Pines Cottage
W the welcoming calls of loons from crystal clear Grand Portage Lake. What a wonderful stay! The cottage was beautifully appointed. The ample outside spaces provided postcard views. Located close to grocery, downtown restaurants and the Heart of Vilas bike trail head, we could not have enjoyed our stay more and look forward to our visiting again soon.

Nice location, but could have been more
The property was clean on the inside, but the outside did not seem to be maintained all that well. The lawn needed mowed and there were leaves in the yard and the landscaping from last fall that had not been addressed. The house was clean, but dated and not inviting for the typical vrbos that we have stayed at. This had the appearance of a home that someone had tried to sell and was Vrbo-ing until they can bet a better price. Meanwhile, a property management company seemed to be handling all the transactions. The TV had an Amazon Firestick that had a goofy password that needed to be entered to watch most anything. We had to call vacate and wait online to retrieve that password. For the price, we expected more.

Memorial Day Memories
This weekend was a perfect get away. The house was cute and quaint. We felt comfortable and at home while staying here. We have two little boys and they absolutely loved the yard, beach and dock. They spent all day playing in the water and sand letting their imaginations run wild. The lake was perfect for cruises, fishing was hit and miss this weekend but still caught a Northern, large mouth bass and little blue gills. Would recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice get away weekend with friends and family. Plenty of space for everyone and love that it’s pet friendly. Our dog Emma didn’t want to leave, she loved everything just as much as we did.
