Family Vacation Guest Testimonial:
“We stayed at Eagle’s Nest over Memorial Day weekend with our 2 sons (14 and 10 yo). To start, Holden was extremely accommodating of our last minute reservation. We arrived a bit later in the evening and Holden/Lauren greeted us with fresh cookies, plus had stocked our kitchenette with fruit, beverages, s’mores supplies, and muffins from a local bakery! As hosts, they were above and beyond kind…even tremendously helping us with a car issue on the final day of our stay. We had so much fun exploring the area…swimming in Lake Superior, hiking Chapel Loop, Au Train beach, lots of yummy eateries (Earl E. Byrd’s, Brownstone Inn, ice cream at Pictured Rock Trading Post). It was nice to have a relaxing, cozy place to come home to each evening. The beds are comfortable, linens soft, and perfect sleeping arrangements for families. We really enjoyed our stay and the hosts made it extra special!!”
