Wonderful Getaway!

Thank you Eric and Lynn for your hospitality and for sharing your beautiful home and garden with us. Your Wood Song apartment served as a perfect getaway for us and felt like a home away from home. It was cozy and comfortable and perfectly located. We were able to kayak everyday and explore Harlow Lake, the Au Train River and Lake Superior. Each provided some incredible views. The beautiful weather also allowed us to hike the Portal Trail along the ledges of Pictured Rocks National Shoreline. The views are always AMAZING!

The photos don't do justice to the beautiful garden just outside the door. This property is beautiful. The hosts are great gardeners. Well designed and tastefully decorated. Nice appliances. Hosts are very responsive and helpful We like this property and have booked it for another stay. It's a little out of town (as described) but quiet and very comfortable.

A Sanctuary

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Wood Song September 26-30 and loved everything about it. It’s well-appointed and very comfortable, a peaceful haven just far enough away, but not inconveniently, from city life. The setting is beautiful: lovely, well-tended gardens backed by dense woods. The hosts are not intrusive but are available if needed. When I left items behind, Eric notified me immediately and made arrangements to get them returned to me. We’ve stayed at many VRBOs and Wood Song is definitely high on our favorites list.

Quiet, clean, and beautiful scenery

Lynn and Eric were fantastic hosts. We were visiting for our 2nd wedding anniversary. Quiet, clean, and beautiful scenery. It was easy to find and close to downtown. We spent our time hiking and exploring Marquette, and really appreciate Lynn and Eric’s help when we ended up in a bind. Highly recommend!

Very clean and comfortable

Probably the nicest place we’ve ever stayed at. So comfortable and clean, and loved the decorations and back yard! Quiet setting, only sound that was a bit of an issue was the walking above us. Parking with our big truck was a challenge too. Definitely would recommend to others, only 10 minutes from town.

This was our first time staying and it was very enjoyable. Eric was very kind and helpful. It was clean, good size and had everything we needed. The garden was wonderful to look at. It was peaceful and quiet other than the loud walking above us. We used this as a base for our day trips around the area. Thank you for sharing your space with us!

We loved our stay at Wood Song!

We were visiting Marquette to watch the UP200 sled dog race. Wood Song was a great location. Quiet and not in the middle of the action, but close by and easy to get to. The place was lovely and had every amenity we wanted. Eric and Lynn were great. Eric even helped us clean the snow off our car because we were not prepared! Would highly recommend!
