Simplicity on Lake Superior
My friend and I stayed here for two nights on our roadtrip out from Vancouver to Toronto, and it was a gorgeous place. We loved the cottage, the views were incredible, and we felt as cozy as can be. Our hosts were extremely helpful, and were very responsive. If you’re looking for a place to relax, feel connected to the outdoors, and want a place to curl up with a great book while looking across to Sleeping Giant - this is your spot!!

Large Apartment w Mountain Views
We loved everything about Dana's place. The location wasn't too far of a drive from the city but felt like we were in the country. Just a beautiful view! The space is very warm and inviting. Lots of room for us to visit with friends and family. The extras at the house were really appreciated. From condiments in the fridge, everything in the kitchen to cook a meal, dog treats and bags and extra toiletries in the washroom. She didn't miss a thing! Dana was just a message away for anything we needed. We will book again when in Thunder Bay!

Airbnb HüGA Home on Peter St. 1 BR upstairs unit.
Best place I've stayed in a long time! I will be returning. Jamie is lovely and she has put so much care, attention, and detail into this space. Every detail was there, from the cozy bathrobes to the complimentary snacks and yoga area, Jamie's place almost feels better than home.
