Even as Wisconsinites, we were surprised by how much snow was still on the ground in late March. The lake was still frozen and the beach covered in snow. But the house was cozy and well supplied. The beds were probably the most comfortable I have ever slept on in a rental. It was clean and had plenty of space for the 4 of us. When it snowed for 2 days, we spent time putting together puzzles, playing board games and using the fooseball, shuffleboard and arcade games at the rental. Cooking was easy with everything provided, but be prepared to drive an hour for groceries. Most stores are still closed for the season, which we expected, but we did find some shops open in Sault Ste Marie. When the sun came out a few days into our trip, we visited the Tahquamenon State park and the upper and lower waterfalls. There was still quite a bit of snow on the trails, and feet of it near some of the observation areas. It was still a beautiful sight, though! Just beware that in the "off season" the lower falls road is closed off to cars and not maintained. It is open to foot traffic, but it is a mile walk to those trails. The snow melted a bit more a few days in and we were able to visit the beach and see the most beautiful night sky I have ever witnessed. We weren't able to see the aurora borealis, but others might have more luck! Overall, we had a pleasant stay, even with a few hiccups with checking in and the snowy drive. The owners were very responsive. We would definitely stay again!
