We loved this place. Our extended family has been vacationing in Washburn for 20 years at various places. This was the best. Beautiful, spacious, historic, yet updated wonderfully. We took advantage of outstanding indoor and outdoor space. The host was great to work with…. I couldn’t recommend it more.

Perfect place for our mini vacation. Lots of activities to close to this house. Kitchen had the basics and there were plenty of towels for the bathrooms. Host was very accommodating and easy to work with. We would return to this house if we vacation in the area again.

Welcome Home

We had a wonderful stay at the Stately Home. It was very comfortable with a lot of space for my family (6 adults). It provided everything we wanted, spacious kitchen, dining room, huge living room & comfortable bedrooms. Visiting in the winter we didn’t have the opportunity to enjoy the deck & backyard, but are looking forward to staying at the Stately for our 2025 holiday getaway.

Perfect for our trip with adult children. Enough space to not feel cramped, but cozy. Home was well appointed and just as described. Fenced in yard and use of garage a huge bonus! Great communication from our host. The area is so lovely with many things to do and see. We look forward to staying again.

Charm and character

The first thing we commented on was the very spacious living room with all of the beautiful windows. The space throughout the house was really nice and a little ups and down stairs added a quaint touch. We did have plenty of room to spread out which was great the nice big Back Fence yard was good for our dog and grandson

Family Vacation- 2nd Stay

The “Barron” is perfect for our family for the week of the 4th of July- we enjoyed Friendly Valley Beach, Cornucopia Beach, Little Girls Point at Saxon Harbor, Copper Falls State Park, Golfing, and The Oredock. Family breakfast and dinners and of course- Frankie’s Pizza! We topped it all off with the festivities of the 4th- the parade and a family reunion at the beach- The band shell for music and the fireworks! It was a Memory Maker for sure and this home is a perfect place for us to make it all happen!

Beautiful, historic home

We loved staying at “The Baron”. This historic home was a wonderful place for our family, which included six adults and two toddlers, to stay for our vacation to Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands. It is spacious and we had plenty of room to cook, dine and play games together. The bedrooms are quaint, and we having the fenced yard to hang out in was great. Mary was an amazing host! She was easy to communicate with and always immediately responded when we had any questions. We had a great time, and would love to return in the future.

Nice Experience!

The house worked well for our "Core Four" family: Mom, Dad, and two adult daughters. Each of us had our own space, and the dining room was a lovely place to have a couple of family meals. We especially loved the outdoor fireplace area where we roasted hot dogs, made s'mores, and had a singalong around the fire. Our border collie loved the big yard!
