This cottage was originally a one-room schoolhouse that was moved from a nearby mine. A bedroom, bathroom and a kitchen were then added on, along with a log front porch (covered), which offers a magnificent view of Eagle Harbor. There is one bedroom with a queen bed. This cottage has a FULL kitchen and a living room area. The best view of the water is from this cozy cottage!

A message from the owners:

As a child, I spent my summers enjoying the relaxed lifestyle the small community of Eagle Harbor offered. As an adult, I brought my family up to enjoy the community as often as I could. I am so excited to be able to share a piece of that with others.
Our 3 cottages were part of the original Lake Breeze Resort in Eagle Harbor. Built in the 1920's, this resort had 15 cottages that sat on “The Hill” overlooking the harbor. As time went on, some of the cottages were sold, and we now find ourselves lucky enough to own three.

Frequently Asked Questions:

A/C: There is no central air. A cross-breeze usually keeps it a nice temperature.

ATV's: It's best to leave those at home. There are no trails close by and there is no available parking for a trailer.

Bathroom: 1- 3/4 bathroom (shower only/no tub).

Beach: The beach is just a short walk across the street. This beautiful sandy beach is perfect for swimming and even has an old-fashioned slide!

Bedroom: Bedroom #1-1 Queen bed

Bugs: Typical mosquitos, flies, ants.

Cable: Yes, there is cable!

Cell phone service: Cell phone service is generally unreliable in the U.P., though we have found that Verizon works well here.

Fire pit: There are NO fires allowed at the cottages, but fire rings are provided on the public beach. You can make your own fire with driftwood and/or logs others may have left behind. You can also purchase wood bundles at Fletchy's restaurant on the south end of the beach. Please contain all fires in the fire rings provided.

School house cottage
Perfect location for taking day trips around the peninsula. Homey and cozy cottage. Parking is tight. Be prepared for a car parked in front of the porch for the cottage next door.

Loved the location!
Cute little cottage with a beautiful view of Eagle Harbor. We enjoyed coffee on the front porch every morning and walked to Lake Superior to watch the sunset. Close to trails and beaches. The cottage had everything we needed and was very quaint and cozy.
