Holiday rentals with a fireplace in The Great Lakes

If you are looking for a peaceful, private location with beautiful views in the UP, look no further! We loved our stay - the house had everything we needed and was in an absolutely beautiful location. We will be back!

Amazing restoration! Thank you Doug for sharing it with us. Wright fans will be extra impressed by the obvious effort put into every detail inside and out as well as the overall hospitability. And even if you're unfamiliar with Wright's work, a stay here will show you how engaging and inspiring houses can be.

I’ve dreamed about staying here for 5 years and finally did a little mini retreat for myself and will absolutely be back! It was incredible!!!

Stayed only for one night and really wished we booked it for longer, really nice clean place with beautiful views and a beautiful backyard. Definitely worth it!!!!

Has a real “Wow”factor as soon as you walk in the door. The upper bedroom area is amazing. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The back deck and yard, the view….Wow again. Along with the usual suspects we regularly saw Bald eagles, Osprey, Egrets and a Pelican. The surrounding area is beautiful. I highly recommend Red Door Retreat. Despite how wonderful it shows in the photos. It exceeded our expectations. Would not hesitate to return.

The perfect romantic getaway! My partner and I rented it as a mini-honeymoon after our wedding, and it was the perfect spot to unwind and refresh. The place struck a wonderful balance between feeling like home and an escape. With so many vintage games, art, and things to explore inside the house, we never left during our 2-day stay!

This home was a great place to get away with some friends and family. The house looked exactly like the pictures, and description. It had the most beautiful view of the lake, and the back deck was a glorious place to spend the afternoon. I loved that there were amenities provided like paper towel, toilet paper, garbage bags, dishwasher detergent, coffee, creamer, and even wood for the fire pit. I would love to come back again and spend an entire week later in the summer!

We had a very relaxing time. Chose this home as our get-away to celebrate our anniversary and had no regrets. Would recommend this a place to anyone looking to enjoy nature the neigbors being heard but not seen due to many beautiful trees...bring your 4wd vehicle and you will be fine 🙂

A friend and I stayed in this beautifully appointed apartment for 3 nights. This is a very well thought out, finely decorated space. The decor is attractive and high quality. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped and there are many nice touches throughout the apartment such as robes, nice dishes and glass ware, toiletries and good security. The place is located centrally to Main Street for dining and shopping and within walking distance to most of the attractions of Galena. There are two main entrances to the hallways leading to the individual apartments. One is from Main Street and the other is from Bench St. I will say that while the Bench St entrance itself is very nice, the building is on a street that has seen better days. I hope the rest of the buildings will follow suit to improve their street appeal because the first impression made us wonder if we had the right address. We expected from the photos that this would be in a better kept area.

Great location and property.

We enjoyed our stay at this accommodation. It is located right across the street from a Lake Lansing and one morning the sunrise was the most spectacular orange reflecting off the Lake. We enjoyed the infrared sauna both days we were there, the place was clean, quiet and filled with new smart electronics. Thank you we would stay here again!

Great spot! Jim is attentive and the place is great. Would stay again

Such a beautifully decorated and well-appointed space for our last minute “mini-moon!” The apartment was spotless and had absolutely everything we needed, and then some. The thoughtful touches (robes, slippers, treats) were much appreciated. We loved the hot tub with the river view. Robert and Taurean were friendly and very responsive hosts! We would return in a heartbeat.

I had a great stay! The place was very clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. The bed was comfortable, and all amenities were in good condition. The host was responsive and helpful throughout my stay. I would definitely recommend this place and stay here again.

Matt and shauna were marvellous hosts!! they were extremely responsive and very kind! The house was perfect! Exactly as described, right by the water, for a great price! The cutest place with a full kitchen which was greatly appreciated! The weather wasn’t great but nothing a great book and even better view couldn’t fix! It made the perfect destination for our girls trip! 1000/10 recommend staying with them if you can!

Beautiful and comfortable home, nicely decorated. Felt like home away from home. The place is very cozy with a great view at the river, very relaxing. I have to say it has exceeded my expectations. Judi and Dave are very responsive. I would book again in a heartbeat.

Had a great bachelorette weekend at Grace's beautiful home. Very comfortable, beautiful and clean. So close to a beautiful walk along the lake too. Would love to stay again!

The house was perfect for our family of 8. It was spacious and well equipped. It was quiet with lovely views across Lake Ontario. The location was perfect, close to RBG and a 15 drive to good restaurants. Tal was extremely responsive to any inquiries prior to arrival and after arrival. We really enjoyed our stay.

This was our second stay at Hany’s place, and we would come back a third time! Nice house with a few quirks in a great location. The outdoor space and hot tub is great for Michigan weather any time of the year, and inside there is plenty of space for our family of four. The location is wonderful, with all of Saugatuck within just a few blocks. We will definitely consider staying here again next time we’re headed to Michigan!

Our family group had a wonderful stay at Harpreet's place. The property is as-described and photos of the house are accurate. There was a ton of space for everyone to spread out and a great social kitchen/main space setup. The indoor areas were very clean. When we arrived we did have to give the outdoor area a sweep and wiped-down the outdoor furniture ourselves, but that wasn't a big deal. The property backs onto a wetland area, which is beautiful and great for birdwatching. The downside, as others have mentioned, is that there are quite a few bugs. We brought 2 Thermacells and kept them running when we were out on the deck and found this, combined with the netting the host has in place, kept the bugs away and allowed us to enjoy the outdoor space. We did have a minor issue with the BBQ but the host was responsive and everything was resolved quickly. The master bedroom/bath is stunning! Slight drawback for the other bedrooms is there aren't a lot of surfaces for suitcases/bags.

very responsive host. place was beautiful and very spacious. Justin was super helpful and friendly and the place was amazing. I would give a A++++ and would definitely stay there again

We had a lovely family reunion at St Joe’s overlook. Kitchen came with literally everything- all sorts of cooking instruments (crock pot, air fryer, toaster etc), spices/oils, and zip lock bags for leftovers. All brand new appliances and ample prep space. We got the pool heated and it was wonderful! Very large size to fit all the family kids. The hot tub was a nice save for the adults who were freezing. Beautiful views from the living room of the river with ample and comfy seating. The home was perfect for a large gathering. We appreciate Evan and Claire hosting us they were always responsive and helpful.

This place was awesome, a beautiful cottage in the woods with a fire pit, hot tub, walking paths, and just 5 minutes from downtown. My only feedback is about the room setup. The listing shows a room with two bunks, but it’s actually an open loft with one bunk bed. It’s not a private room, so don’t count it as a secluded space. When I book a house, it’s really important that everyone has a quiet room to return to, so I was a little disappointed that some guests got shorted on that. Honestly, it might have affected my decision to book. Otherwise, the stay was beautiful and peaceful, I’d definitely come back!

Nice big indoor pool (12 feet deep at one end and 3 feet at the other). The newly renovated rooms are very open and spacious. All the bedrooms are well kept. Lots of games to play(soccer table, poker, table tennis, etc.). Lots of pullout sofas and chairs. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks Jack!!
