Spectacular
Fabulous house. Great accommodations. Beautiful views. We visited Whitefish Point and Sault Ste. Marie. We also spent a day in town. It was fun to visit Grand Marais Tavern and the Dunes Saloon. I would recommend to stay here if you enjoy the outdoors but want a place to come back to so you can cook out, make dinners, enjoy the fire, and visit with family or friends.

Amazing property
The views are absolutely stunning! This house has it all and it is a beautiful house! Comfortable and well thought out and well appointed. We didn’t get to use the garage (we don’t have toys) or the fire pit (weather) but the house fit us perfectly and was a great location! The property owner was helpful and kind and a great resource! Yes, it isn’t cheap, but worth the money, esp if you have toys! We had a great stay. Thanks!

What an amazing home base for our annual adventure! The home was perfect, the view was amazing! The weather was fantastic and the trails were great! We had a fantastic week at your place, the home was spotless, the beds were great, it had everything we needed! Highlights: two hearted River, Crisp Point lighthouse, Benny the Troll, log slide, many waterfalls, Uglyfish Bakery, Dunes Saloon for dinner. We got a personal tour of the Pickle Barrel museum as well. 320 miles of trails on the side by sides. Thanks for sharing the Ridge with us this week!

Phenomenal
My family and I had the pleasure of staying at the Ridge for a week in August 2023. What an incredible property!! We have been coming to Northern Michigan/U.P. for 15 years now, and hands down, this was the nicest house we have ever stayed in. The views of Lake Superior and Grand Marais Harbor from the house were jaw-dropping. We never got tired of looking out the windows and were sad when it was time to leave. The house is spotless and extremely well-maintained. The owners are fantastic to deal with. They checked in periodically to make sure everything was going well and to see if they could answer any questions. The house was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. (We used the large propane grill to cook dinner each night.) Plus, we were greeted with a treat basket full of delicious goodies, as well as two high quality thermal tumblers as a welcome gift. We have never felt so appreciated as house guests! We had a blast playing all the games in the separate game room -- foosball, ping pong, pop-a-shot, corn hole. My husband used the separate exercise room every morning. The house is ideally situated to explore Pictured Rocks, as well as other nearby attractions. (Crisp Point Lighthouse was a highlight of the trip.) Grand Marais is a magical place, made all the more special by being able to stay in this incredible property. Would stay here again in a heart beat.

Family celebration
Couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay. My husband and I were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with our 5 adult children and their spouse and we all agreed the house was perfect both in amenities and location. Lots to do in the area - atv riding, hiking, lighthouse tours, Picture Rock sunset cruise and just hanging at the house together. Would definitely come back again. Beautiful home!

Reunion
Best VRBO house we've ever stayed in! Re-lived a family vacation from 30 years ago to the UP. House was plenty big enough for the next generation with 7 adults and 4 kids under the age of 6. Didn't use 1 full bedroom. JD and Jason were great hosts and very helpful before and during stay, neighbor is remote enough, but was very nice and came over to warn us about a bear in the area. House is better furnished than our own house, beds very comfortable. Game room/yard games provided endless entertainment. Very clean and easy to clean. The toy garage hosted many dance contests. View of Grand Marais harbor and sunsets was amazing. We wish the house was about 10-12 hours closer to us so we could go back more frequently. Only negative comment (and this is very very minor) a few extra dish towels would be helpful. To avoid some gravelly roads, map directions to Grand Marais and then the house, rather than directly to the house.

Perfect UP summer getaway
The house was amazing! Perfect home base for all our UP adventures. Clean, well stocked, and plenty of space for our two families vacationing together. Teens loved the game and bunk room. View was incredible. Everything we needed plus a few extra comforts. Owner even gave our car a jump start when battery died as we were checking out! Only teensie tiny complaint was that the lights in the entire house were super dim. But in the summertime there was so much daylight it wasn’t much of an issue. Wish we could have stayed longer and would definitely come again.

The property was perfect for us. We were so thankful for our time there. The only downfall was the mosquitos, but they were not as bad when the breeze picked up. We hope to visit again soon! The town was idealic and we had so much fun shopping at the small shops and eating at the food truck! Highly recommend the ice cream shop in town! My family loved it so much that we went there almost every day:)

Amazing!
The house was perfect for mom, dad, adult kids and spouses to enjoy a wonderful family vacation in the UP. We drove to a few nearby hiking trails and Munising for kayaking. We loved the small beach in Grand Marais - warm, beautiful weather led to volley ball, soccer, and spike ball matches on the beach as well as the yard. Great restaurants with lots of variety in town. The house itself is fantastic - spaces and amenities were wonderful. Kitchen is stocked with everything you need - just bring your groceries. JD’s quick response to any questions was appreciated. Seriously so fun, comfortable, and relaxing! (Sunsets, garage games, speakers throughout, flat grassy yard, fire pit, on and on!)

We were all so impressed with The Ridge! It's a beautiful house that has everything you need to relax and enjoy your time. Our family enjoyed exploring the nearby towns, and took advantage of the large dining table and great room by having dinner and hanging out. Each family had plenty of their own space too. We couldn't be happier with our time here.

Great week at The Ridge
This is a wonderful property. It’s spacious, well-appointed and maintained very well. We had a minor hiccup with the water heater at the beginning of our stay but it was due to a mechanical malfunction and the owner facilitated the necessary repair right away. Our group of 12 thoroughly enjoyed our time there and have this property in mind for a future return trip.
