It was a good location though; in between the office and the room that the housekeeper lives in, so it was nice and quiet. This was a great place for our stay- right in the middle of the Keweenaw peninsula, and at a great price point. It was nice to have a kitchen! I couldn't figure out how to use the oven (or maybe it wasn't working? not sure) but I didn't contact management to ask how to use it because we just used the microwave instead. The bathroom is VERY small, and it was pretty tight to shower in there, but the bed was comfortable and the place seemed very clean. We got a designated parking spot, which was nice. Overall we would stay here again.

As far as location, Bella Vista is about 6 blocks from the store in town, and the restaurants that were still open this late in the season (German restaurant and an American fare restaurant); Eagle Harbor and Delaware are nearby with the many great little spots. We had cottage 6, which appeared to be recently updated; paint looked fresh, new flooring. Cottage kitchen had a fridge and freezer, toaster, coffee maker, sink, microwave. Room had a bed, small table and two chairs, and a wee loveseat. Only problem we had: we arrived for check-in an hour after check-in begins--begins at 3pm, we arrived at 4pm--when we entered our room we could tell it hadn't been cleaned. The girl at the desk asked for an hour to clean the cottage; it was hard to drive for 8 hours and then not be able to stretch out and relax right away. That, paired with the tiny shower in our cottage, is what made this a 4 star review instead of a 5 star.

I recently stayed at the Oak Street Inn as part of a yoga retreat. I was not involved in any of the…read morebooking, but my time there was wonderful. The building used to have store fronts in the bottom and living space upstairs. I believe at least part of it was an old candy store! The guest/sleeping space is divided into three separate sections with an apartment type feel. The upstairs has two sides. Each side has three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a full kitchen, living and dining room area. Each side sleeps at least 8 people, if not more. The kitchen was equipped with all the essentials you'd need for cooking a full meal. The downstairs was half guest/sleeping space and half shared communal space. The communal space was where we spent most of our time. The decor and overall charm was quirky an delightful. It had a fun old school vibe and the walls were covered with maps, artwork and advertisements from decades ago. There was pool table and awesome hot tub as well. A perfect place to relax after our daily adventures. Also, since we were there for yoga, that is where we practiced. It comfortably fit about 12 people to practice. If you have never been to Calumet and are looking for a place to stay I highly recommend the Oak Street Inn!

Only problem was the boat/company owner. He came on prior to departure and went on an obnoxious, unhinged, raging monologue about the onboard bathrooms. It was unprofessional in the extreme. Apparently, he was confronted with a toilet backup from the voyage the day before. I can understand his frustration, but my gosh his demeaning and near-hysterical speech to us prior to the departure was so uncalled for. He even went so far as to imply that there was something wrong with those who need to avail themselves of the facilities during the 3.5 hour voyage. Suggestion: if you want to lessen the frequency of your customers using the toilet, maybe don't sell all manner of snacks and drinks during the voyage. Bottom line: want to be yelled at as you kick off your vacation? This is the ferry for you.

This is the Queen IV Ferry Service that departs from Copper Harbor, Michigan heading out for…read morevisitors to explore Isle Royale National Park. In my opinion, the Queen IV Ferry is the most logical way to get to Isle Royale. And...although Isle Royale is a pretty vast island, the Queen IV will take you to the primary section being the Rock Harbor area. I took this Queen IV Ferry back in early June of this year, 2021 and the roundtrip price to and from Isle Royale was about $135. That price is pretty normal/standard for getting on a boat and dropping you off at such a primitive destination. Speaking of Isle Royale, it's located right on the Canadian border on the waters of Lake Superior. So...this Queen IV Ferry departs from Copper Harbor, MI which is a tiny little coastal seaside town in the UP - Upper Peninsula of Michigan and takes you 3.5 hours each way to and from Rock Harbor. And for $135...that's pretty reasonable. Now...for those interested in getting to Isle Royale in a quicker fashion...they do offer seaplanes that depart from Houghton, Michigan (another picturesque town roughly 45 miles south of Copper Harbor) but obviously a seaplane will cost $$$ more. For myself, I was in no rush during my summer road trip plus I was excited to explore around charming Copper Harbor for a few days prior to my voyage to Isle Royale. And Copper Harbor if you look at a map is situated right at the tippy top section of Michigan. It's a remote town and there's not even cell phone reception available (at least for me there wasn't). So yeah, if you don't choose a seaplane, then this Queen IV Ferry will be your fastest path to Isle Royale at 3.5 hours each way. Also in Houghton, MI they offer the Ranger III Ferry but during my research it mentioned about a 6 hour journey each way! Crazy! Why would anyone take the Ranger III Ferry for 6 hours when they can drive 45 miles north to Copper Harbor and grab the Queen IV for half the time? Makes no sense, imo. And finally, there are boat departures from Grand Portage, Minnesota on either the Voyageur II to Rock Harbor or the Sea Hunter III to the Windigo section of Isle Royale. Those tours and travels may only be 1 - 2 hours (from my recollection), but they don't travel as frequently as here in Copper Harbor and the Queen IV. Overall...I'd suggest Queen IV as the best/most efficient way of traveling to Isle Royale. Some details about the Queen IV Ferry... - I booked my boat ride online at https://www.isleroyale.com/day-trips-to-isle-royale.html. It was a simple process, and they give an entire description about your expedition to Isle Royale. - I took the boat trip in early June but as you get more into the heart of summertime, they offer better options out to Rock Harbor more frequently each week. Eventually there are trips offered daily. - Now...they suggested for visiting Rock Harbor (which I chose but kind of regret) you can take the 3.5-hour ride to Rock Harbor, hang out on the island for 3 hours and then return back to Copper Harbor for another 3.5 hours comprising one long daytrip. You can take camping gear with you and spend a few evenings at Isle Royale before catching the return ferry back to Copper Harbor. For those outdoor nature enthusiasts, a lot of people picked this option. Prior to departing in the morning, the crew of the Queen IV will assist in lifting up your belongings onto the boat making for a hassle-free departure. For myself, I had camping gear with me on my road trip I could have spent a couple nights at Rock Harbor but ultimately chose a daytrip. I'd say 95% of the people on the ferry had packed up to camp at Isle Royale rather than the daytrip. In the end it's up to you. Though so you know, Isle Royale is simply a forest park and doesn't offer much in terms of sights and attractions. Basically, you'll be stuck on the island for as long as you decide to stay. - Here is a copy of the schedule from the website... "A one-day trip lasts about 10 hours altogether, 8 am to 6 pm. The trip includes the 3:15 crossing, 3+ hours on the island, and the 3:15 return". - My only issue with the ferry ride experience is that inside the cabin everyone rushed to grab a 4-person seating arrangement. I was traveling alone and when I boarded there weren't any seats available. That was disappointing. I had to sit and stand on the boat outside for the entire 3.5 hours. Normally I don't mind this but because I was here visiting in early June it was frigid riding out on Lake Superior's waters. I guess I should have spoken up and asked some people to move. Whatever I'd rather be by myself. - So...be prepared with clothing layers as the ride can be extremely cold! - They don't offer any food or beverages. You must bring your own supplies on board which you can grab at the local gas station/convenience store in town. - Lastly, I stayed at the Minnetonka Inn, left my car at the lodge and simply walked 5 minutes to the pier to board and avoided paying for parking.
