Adventure Paradise

We had a blast up in Paradise. The Black Pearl is centrally located to ORV Trails, Tahquamenon Falls, White Fish Point, Crisp Point and various other adventures. It was nice to arrive to a clean and neat place that provided all the amenities you may need. The BP also had a fire pit with chairs for those s’mores. Right down the road was an awesome Breakfast place and there was another great dinner spot in town. If you are looking for a nice place to lay your head after your adventures, this is the place to book. Lastly, the Owners were extremely communicative and answered all questions. Two thumbs up.

Black Pearl in Paradise

Very nice property that hit all our needs for a Fourth of July holiday. Wish we had more time to chill at the property. This place was all set up for meal prep with spices, oils, condiments and excellent equipment. Even a fire pit and grill!
