The cabin was perfect, from the well appointed kitchen to the stunning view of Eagle Harbor from the front windows. Great location for hikes and just a short drive to Copper Harbor. Super relaxing and cozy, absolutely loved it.

A Quiet, Relaxing Place

This was my second stay at this cottage; I love Eagle Harbor! Plenty of space, *awesome* kitchen, and natural light / fresh air from lots of windows. The heated floors were really nice for the colder evenings. Internet was slightly less stable than last year, but very functional overall. I was able to use WiFi calling for cellular needs, and HD video streaming was available most of the time. Also, Rodney is wonderful to work with if you have any issues at all. He responds very quickly and is friendly and easy to talk to. Highly recommended!

About the host

Hosted by RODNEY WESTLAKE

The Westlake family has been in Eagle Harbor for 5 generations. My great-grandfather, J.C. Westlake, purchased our family home in 1946. My father, Tom, attended the one-room schoolhouse in Eagle Harbor and our family has lived in Eagle Harbor and managed rentals every year since. I, Rodney, grew up spending entire summers in Eagle Harbor - known to us kids in town as paradise. It has not been difficult to instill that same love for Eagle Harbor and the entire Keweenaw Peninsula in our children, Lucy and Jack (J.C.).

Why they chose this property

There is no better location in town than the lighthouse ridge overlooking the harbor. From our cottage you can take a two minute walk to the lighthouse overlook on Lake Superior and a one minute walk down the sand dune to the Eagle Harbor sand beach (best on the north shore). Everything in town is walking distance from our location and you never have to share a busy road or highway.

What makes this property unique

In floor heating, old-stone fireplace, loft space for children (or adventurous adults), newly remodeled kitchen with locally hand-crafted island, built-in microwave, induction stove-top and the quietest dishwasher you will ever not hear helps make this cabin a wonderful getaway from the normal world. Come and discover Eagle Harbor, the hidden gem (agate, datolite, or greenstone:) of Michigan.
