About this property

Cozy cottage with private Lake Superior beach in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula

Our cozy, lakeside cottage is perfect for up to 4, with 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. Enjoy the privacy of our beach and home, or get out and immerse yourself in the beauty and adventure our Great Lake and the nearby Porcupine Mountains have to offer.

The cottage:
The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you may need to prepare a meal or cocktail. If cooking is your thing, you will enjoy the quality cookware, a collection of kitchen tools, and a gas grill. We provide K-cups, tea choices, and hot chocolate for your stay. There is a coffee grinder as well, if you prefer to bring your own coffee.

The living room faces the lake and offers amazing views. Cuddle up with a book, play a game, or watch a storm roll in over the lake.

There are 2 bedrooms (1 queen and 1 full bed) with quality memory foam mattresses and room darkening blinds. The larger bedroom has a second television.

There is one full bathroom with a tub and shower combination. Towels and hand soap are provided. We also provide 4 beach towels per stay and a washer and dryer.

The outdoor space:
There is plenty of parking and a good size yard. The star though, is the amazing beach, which is just steps from the door. You can walk for miles in both directions or just sit and soak up the sun. We provide lounge chairs and folding chairs for you to watch the sunset or enjoy a fire.

In the summer you can enjoy swimming or picking rocks, beach glass, or Yooperlites. We provide the UV flashlights you need to find these special rocks. You will also find beach toys, beach towels, chairs, and coolers. Everything you need to enjoy a day at the beach!

But summer isn’t the only option. The rest of the year is equally as beautiful, and very quiet. Most days, from September to May, you will have the beach and lake to yourself. Come for the spectacular colors in the fall or enjoy our winter wonderland.

The outdoor opportunities in the area are endless. We provide a variety of maps and guidebooks to help you make the most of your UP adventure. Whether you hike, ski, snowmobile, snowshoe, bike, or ATV...there are options within minutes.

Come and enjoy a spectacular sunset in any season!

Absolutely lovely house on the beach, immaculately clean and had all the amenities you could need. Well stocked kitchen, coffee and tea, spices, good quality cookware and dishes, comfy beds, lots of blankets, great shower, puzzles and games to play as well.

The cottage was just as described, and even roomier than shown in the photos. It was clean, comfortable and included everything we could possibly need and more. The location was just what we wanted--- quiet, private and perfect for beach walks and sunset viewing. Lori and Rob gave us our privacy but were available if needed. Instructions for household appliances etc, as well as helpful information about the local area was provided.We would definitely stay here again if we're in the area.

Very clean property and well-stocked. I could have left alot of things at home! I appreciated the 3 ring binder with info on the cabin and the area. Nice sandy beach area. Our 10 y/o Grandson was QUITE enamored with the cabin. We were able to take a nice long walk to the right towards the Lighthouse w/out seeing any other people.

My husband and I grew up in the UP and recently moved back to the area. We love living on the lake and are so happy to introduce others to this amazing area. We love to travel, eat, and spend time with our dog.

Why they chose this property

The location of our cottage is very private, but town is only a 5 minute drive. There are days when you will feel like you have the entire lake to yourself. You can walk for miles on the beach, take a swim, and enjoy a s’more by the fire.

What makes this property unique

Our little cottage sits directly on one of the best beaches you will find. The views and sunsets are spectacular. The location allows you to do as much or as little as you like.
