Dear Guests,

Thank you for choosing our home for your vacation. We hope that you have a terrific stay on Madeline Island.

Often times parties grow last minute , if you find yourself with more people in your party than you originally booked for, give Clair a call (phone number sent with booking confirmation) and I can adjust your quote to reflect the correct number of guest. Town of LaPointe requires total number of occupancy for emergency purposes.

Please make sure you follow the checkout procedure so there is no confusion as to what is expected on the day of your departure.

Madeline Island is a magical place, and we hope our home makes for a terrific time.

Thanks, and have a great vacation!
