    At first this seemed like a nice place to stay. But our first evening, we heard rodents running around in the ceiling over our bedroom and they woke me at 5 a.m. The next day, we told the owner and she said "we live in the woods, it's to be expected" and her husband later said it was chipmunks on the roof. When we took our bag of trail mix out of the grocery bag on the counter, there was hole in it chewed up by mice! That was explained the critters we'd heard. Also I took a shower that morning and the water was lukewarm. I sent a text to Kim about the rodents and cold shower and she replied "I'll be right over" (though I texted her back asking to come a bit later as i wasn't dressed). A minute later I heard pounding on the door and an angry Kim walked in and said "If you aren't satisfied here you're welcome to leave." No apology, no offer to improve the situation except to say she'd show me how the shower works (it should be obvious!) but none of the kindness or customer service most hosts show. I asked if she'd consider giving us a discount, she said she'd think about it. Later that afternoon I got a text saying I could get a 100% discount if we packed up our bags and left that day! It was the weekend of the Porkies Music Festival and we didn't want to have to leave the festivaland search for new lodgings, especially since all the lodging would be booked. Avoid this place if you want a peaceful, pleasant stay and a good night's sleep.

    Anniversary Weekend on Lake Superior - Beautiful View!
    Nick B.

    My wife, Kyleigh, and I spent a romantic First Anniversary in Ontonogan, MI - and I'm so pleased! The Peterson's really have something special here! Don't get the wrong idea - this isn't a 'fancy' place - and it's not really supposed to be. Peterson's Cottages are just the right combination of well-equipped, clean, private, comfortable and completely charming, Each Cottage has it's own name, including the 'Honeymoon Cottage' we stayed in, which is closest to the lake and aptly named "Gitchee Gumee". (Look the name up, you'll see.) The full kitchens and space for your 'stuff' makes it easy to get set for a long weekend or any length of time, in a place where you can enjoy a true 'getting away from it all' experience. They have all of the stuff you want, TV's with cable, WiFi that works well (just in case you really 'have to be' connected), and they're fairly close to the village of Ontonagon, which has just enough to keep you supplied during your stay. But the main things you'll find there are simple comforts, terrific sunsets on the beach, a beautiful area to explore, and host that make you feel like family. About the hosts: When you meet them, you'll see what I mean. There's an ease and caring about them both that sets the tone at the start of your stay. When they tell you to ask them anything, they mean it and they have great recommendations for those few area restaurants and attractions. I'm so happy we chose to stay at Petersons and I'm hopeful that we'll have an excuse to go up there again some day.

    You can't beat the location and we love having a bonfire on the beach overlooking Lake Superior.

We passed by an impressive frog symphony each evening on our walk to the beach to see the sunset. Others made campfires on the beach to watch the beautiful sunsets. Most of the time we walked along the beach shoreline with no one else in sight. The cabin is nicely landscaped with hostas, purple iris, miniature roses and other flowers. There is a sliding glass door which opens to a nice deck with a charcoal grill. We enjoyed the free nightly popcorn from the Inn which was a bonus. The Fox Den cabin has a ramp up to the front door. Inside is a cozy kitchen, dining area with ceiling light and fan, a cozy living room with a sofa, TV, and cozy gas fireplace. The bathroom is roomy with a hot shower. The 2 bedrooms had queen size beds and a dresser and closet. The kitchen has an electric stove, toaster, coffee maker, and microwave. Some small improvements could be a larger Tv with better sound and add on the Hallmark Movie Channel, ceiling fan in both bedrooms, some cute water glasses, and a small cutting board. Overall Fox Den Cabin at Scott's Superior Inn and Cabins is a cozy cabin on Lake Superior with beach access and good location to explore many waterfall hikes including the Porcupine Mountains State Park trails.

    Americinn of the Porcupine Mountains - Great selection of food. There are even more than what I have here.

    This seems to be the biggest location around for folks coming to see the Porcupine Mountains…read more(Porkies); the hotel is one of the last things you'll drive past before you enter the park grounds. Check-in was fast and seamless; room was clean and comfortable; proximity to Lake Superior was nice. We enjoyed watching the waves from the little slice of beach the hotel had behind it; there is a also a bonfire pit and quite a few comfy outdoor benches here, as well as some picnic benches nearby for folks wanting to enjoy a picnic outside. As far as restaurant options locally: the hotel is attached to one of the few restaurants in the area, so that was a good fall back on option. We passed on eating there after reading some of the reviews, choosing to go into downtown Ontonagon instead (check out Syl's!) and Antonio's (about 20-30 mins away off of 64 & 28). Again, it's just nice to have the choice nearby if you're tired of driving. Reasons this hotel didn't get a solid 5 star review is: first, the staff are not particular friendly, never greeted us all the times we walked past/obviously had questions. We had to initiate conversation with them. Secondly, although the hotel had signs saying masks are required by state mandate, some staff were not wearing masks, relying on the plexiglass barrier only.
