About this property

Stunning 4 Season New Beach House - Big Traverse Bay on Lake Superior!

Located on the East side of the Keweenaw Peninsula in beautiful Big Traverse Bay. This property has one of the most beautiful sugar sand beaches in the area. Lake Superior is just steps away from the front deck. This new custom built two story home with a full basement (built in 2023) has a deep all sand beach. In the summer months enjoy swimming in the warm shallow water of the bay, kayaking, sunbathing, blueberry picking on the property or just relaxing on the beach. (Two paddle boards, a paddle boat, two kayaks, sun umbrellas, and a variety of life jackets are on site for our guests) If you tire of the beach, you can explore the area on ATV’s by getting on the trail system not far from the house. (There is plenty of parking for ATV’s and snowmobile trailers in the homeowner’s parking lot across the street) You can also explore the local area and visit the Keweenaw National Historic Park, Brockway Mountain Drive, Mount Bohemia, Delaware Mine, Douglass Houghton Falls, or Copper Harbor, to name a few of the many local attractions.

In the winter guests can enjoy cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the woods surrounding the property. Snowmobilers can find the groomed snowmobile trail nearby which will take you throughout Keweenaw and Houghton Counties or anywhere in the Upper Peninsula. If downhill skiing is your thing, Mount Bohemia or Mount Ripley are both within a 30 minute drive from the house. You can relax in the evenings in this comfortable and cozy beach house and take in the beauty of winter on the shores of Lake Superior. The home has in-floor heat throughout to keep you toasty warm during the cold winter months. If you’re lucky, you might even catch the northern lights during your stay.

The exterior of the home has large cedar decks on the East, South, and West sides. You can enjoy the sunrises on the extra large front East/lakeside deck and take in the sunsets on the rear West/roadside deck. Both the South and West decks offer a bird’s eye view of the wetlands area which is a bird watcher’s paradise, with frequent sightings of ducks, loons, geese, sand hill cranes, bald eagles and more.

You will enter the home from the main floor roadside entrance. The main floor has a laundry room with a full size washer and dryer and laundry folding table, as well as a large master bedroom and a spare bedroom on either side of the entry hallway. Both of these comfortable bedrooms have great natural lighting, wall mounted TV’s, luxurious bedding, and beautiful views. The master has a large walk-in closet. The main floor bathroom can be accessed through the master bedroom or hallway and is equipped with a handicapped shower. You then enter the great room, kitchen, and dining area. This space has a 22 foot cathedral ceiling with two large ceiling fans. The living room has a comfy sectional sofa, large TV, coffee table with storage (filled with games and puzzles), and a separate reading area with a custom bookcase filled with a variety of books. There is a desk/work station in the great room if you have to work from home. The gourmet kitchen has a large butcher block island which seats four and is great for casual dining or as a food prep area. The kitchen has a gas range, fully vented hood, quartz countertops, farm sink, under cabinet lighting, ample cabinet and storage space, and a walk-in pantry. The kitchen is fully stocked with quality cookware, bakeware, chef’s knives, plates, glasses, silverware, serving platters and bowls and anything else you may need during your stay. The dining area seats six and is beside a coffee and tea bar. You can enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail while listening to the waves and watching the calming waters of Lake Superior.

You will access the loft sleeping area and lounge by using the staircase in the great room. The lounge area at the top of the stairs is the perfect spot to build a puzzle, play a game, or work from home. Bedrooms, loft sleeping area, lounge, and great room all have ethernet jacks. There is also Wifi coverage throughout the entire house. High speed internet connection is provided by Starlink with a 200 Mbps download and a 20 Mbps upload. The sleeping area has two queen beds, a closet and bathroom with a double vanity and handicapped shower. The view from the loft is amazing!

The home was completed in November of 2023 and features all new mattresses, pillows, bedding, towels, window coverings, appliances, cookware, dinnerware, bakeware, glassware, and silverware. The entire home has been tastefully decorated in a nautical/beachy theme by the homeowner. A game room and half bath are now open in the lower/basement level which kids and adults will both enjoy. 6/25 We added an outdoor solar heated shower right off of the lakeside deck. You can wash off the sand before entering the house. 7/4/25 Sauna with shower and attached bathroom. You can enjoy a hot relaxing sauna before jumping into Lake Superior !

Pictures honestly do not do this place justice! The large windows combined with the high ceilings give such an amazing view of Lake Superior that my husband and I both let out an audible gasp when we first saw it in person. Not only do you have a gorgeous view right on the lake but the house is so nicely decorated and filled with everything you need. Our host, Ann, was so very kind and easy to communicate with. Plus the coffee in the house is delicious! We would definitely visit here again in the future.

Perfection

Great place to sit back, relax and enjoy the views! No need to leave with an amazing beach like this home offers. Although we had nothing but great weather, the house has plenty to offer if you’re stuck inside. Thanks for sharing such a perfect piece of paradise with myself and my family. Cannot wait for next year’s visit!!!!

Family Vacation

We have been traveling for years for family vacations & this is the best property we have rented on VRBO! Ann is great with communication and such a kind soul! Everything about the home made us not want to leave with the amazing lakeside views and the relaxing cozy spot for a fire to the beautiful details that were put into this home. Coming from the construction industry, this is the type of home we love to see! Unique in every way. The paddle boat was awesome, we all loved going for rides along the shore and playing in the sand everyday. We were able to make home cooked meals every day in the huge kitchen. Everything we needed and more was right there. We can't wait to come back again!

Family time perfection

We booked this place for MTU graduation weekend so we would be able to grill out and celebrate the achievements of our grad and this place did not meet but exceeded our expectation. The few things that were not already out (since winter in the UP ended yesterday) the owner got out and ready to go when asked. So not only did we have everything we needed but the location and space were perfect for everyone in the family. Plus, we were treated to amazing sun rises and sunsets every evening including many sightings of local wildlife.

Unforgettable Stay at Ann's Lakefront Paradise: A Family's Journey from Argentina

Staying at Ann's house was an incredible experience for our family from Argentina, who relocated to North America three years ago and have been in Wisconsin for the past year. It was the first visit from my parents and niece since we moved, and being together in that paradise was truly unforgettable. Everything was flawless, starting with Ann, who was the most incredible host! The house was pure luxury and incredibly comfortable, equipped with everything needed for enjoying various water activities. The view of the lake was so breathtaking that it felt surreal to experience it firsthand. Witnessing a couple of stunning sunrises was particularly emotional for us.

Beautiful location on the lake

My family needed a place near Houghton for my nephew's graduation from Michigan Tech. This lake house checked all the boxes: spacious, comfortable, on the water, and a reasonable drive to the university. Ann's attention to detail and eye for beautiful decor were the icing on the cake! The space was absolutely stunning. We spent a lot of time indoors because it rained the entire weekend. The kitchen was fully equipped for staying in to eat. There were books, games and toys. Although it was freezing and raining, the kids still decided to go for a swim! We definitely made some great memories and look forward to booking another stay here!

Beautiful and peaceful

The house is right on the shore of Lake Superior, with beautiful views from the deck and from inside the house. Everything thing was clean and updated and comfortable. Beautiful open kitchen/ living room/ dining area. Two bedrooms on main floor, one full bathroom. Loft area has double sink full bathroom and two beds. No complete privacy in loft by beds, but that was not an issue for us. It is a bit of a drive into town on some gravel, but easily doable. We saw northern lights from the deck. Enjoyed the peace and quiet and comfort. No AC, but not an issue for us with the lake breezes coming through. Appreciated the food and sights suggestions. Ann was very good about communication and very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks for sharing!!

Wonderful Fall Getaway

We enjoyed a few days at this lovely, new lake home right on the shores of Lake Superior. Everything was nicely appointed and the house was very clean. Beds were comfy and kitchen fully stocked. It was peaceful and quiet at the house. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and seeing the amazing sunrises as well as looking for and spotting shooting stars at night. The sky was so clear, it seems as if we saw a million stars. We were in the area to relax and enjoy the fall colors and visit Copper Harbor. We enjoyed driving through all the peaceful winding roads that had such a beautiful canopy of trees over them. We hoped to see the Northern Lights, which we saw in the area years ago, but did not see them during our stay. I believe the day after we left they were visible. The home was very spacious for two people and would easily accommodate a family or small group of friends. The host was wonderful to work with and we highly recommend this beautiful lake home! We would love to return again!

Best of the best!

Let me first say that the owner(s) are awesome. The communication prior, during, and after the stay were perfect. As we walked through the front door we were greeted by the amazing view of Lake Superior that can be seen through the floor to ceiling windows in the main living area. Just outside is a wrap around deck that encompasses 3/4ths of the home. The deck is a perfect area to grill and unwind after a fun filled day on the water. Our party included 3 children. Being that the deck is only 50 yards or so from the water, it was perfect place to relax while the children played. He kitchen is very well stocked and is open. The bedrooms are comfortable with a beach theme throughout the house. The lowest level houses a game room. My daughter loves the pool and fooseball tables. All in all the stay was everything we hoped. We arrived during the hottest time of the year and were a bit concerned as the home does not have AC, but our concerns faded as the windows and onshore breeze kept the house cool and comfortable. I hope to return. This property is a gem and we were blessed to spend a few days there. One final more, we were able to see the aurora during our stay. If you are a night sky watcher, check this place out. Thank you for a wonderful and relaxing stay.

This is a very nice rental with wonderful views of Lake Superior. The home was exactly as described and was perfect for our 5 day stay. The property is well maintained and the inside of the home is exceptionally clean with comfortable beds, furniture and a well-stocked kitchen. We didn’t use any of the available outdoor equipment but did stick our toes in the freezing cold water! Highly recommend and would stay here again.

Amazing property in a picturesque setting! You can’t get much closer to the lake than this! The house was beautifully decorated with an amazing, fully-stocked kitchen. We cancelled two days of exploring out and about just so we could soak in the peacefulness of being in the house on the beach.

What a fantastic property! The layout, cleanliness, amenities, views - we had a wonderful time, thanks to the hosts and this wonderful home right on the beach of Lake Superior. From pre check-in and throughout our stay, our host was available to answer any questions and made every effort to ensure our family getaway for brothers and spouses was perfect. The kitchen is set up beautifully for meal preparation and serving, and we all enjoyed coffee on the deck each day with the panoramic view of Lake Superior before us. There is so much to do on the Keweenaw Peninsula, but we found ourselves spending several full days on-site because the beautiful deck, fire table, and firepit kept us so content outside, and the seating inside was plentiful and comfortable. This home has everything needed for a relaxing getaway both indoors and outdoors, including sauna, outdoor shower, kayaks, paddleboards, nice seating, firepit with firewood, and every indoor comfort including the beds, linens, laundry, wifi, and kitchen equipment. We could not have been happier with this beautiful home for our family getaway!

We had the most wonderful return stay at this gorgeous home on “the ocean”! The property is picturesque, clean, spacious, well thought out and had everything we needed for a memorable family getaway.The setting right on the water with the endless sand beach of the bay is storybook worthy. Our family never shies away from the chilly Lk Sup temps and we all a blast swimming, paddle boarding, playing games on the beach and exploring the expansive shoreline. Morning coffee on the deck and taking in the stunning sunrise is an unmatched experience I’ll think of year round. The sauna was an awesome addition this year and we enjoyed it thoroughly.Kitchen was well stocked, making it easy to cook family meals, and there were plenty of hangout spots for everyone to gather together or spread out when needed. Sleeping setup was great for our two families.Although quite the drive for us from southern WI, the Keewenaw is a must-visit location. This property’s location is perfectly positioned — quiet and serene, yet close enough to town for any essentials. Lots of surrounding areas and activities to check out if desired, although once you arrive it’s unlikely you’ll want to leave the house/beach/lake at all!Host, Annie, is wonderful — welcoming, always responsive, and made sure every detail was taken care of. We made so many special memories here again this summer and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend this dreamy Lake Superior retreat to anyone!!

Best Rental on Big Traverse Bay

We've stayed at two vacation rentals on Big Traverse Bay since 2019. Not only is this venue the best, but it has all the amenities and couple who host the property are a joy. This is the first time in four years we've had internet, and it really made a difference for our family get away (especially when it rained steadily for two days). My only hesitation in recommending a stay to everyone--if I'm being selfish--is availability for future visits. ;-) Thank you, Ann!

We purchased this property in 2017 and built our dream home in this beautiful sandy bay on the East side of the Keweenaw Peninsula in 2023. Until we retire and make this home our permanent residence, we would like to share this lakeside haven with our guests. We hope you share our love for this spectacular property and come back year after year for your family vacation or romantic getaway!
