This newly built haven, completed in the spring of 2022, rests upon a sprawling acre of pristine Lake Superior lakefront property, offering unparalleled views of the lake`s beauty.
As the sun dips below the horizon, indulge in a lakeside barbecue on our provided grill or unwind in the soothing embrace of our Hot Tub, sheltered by a spacious covered patio. For those who crave the crackling warmth of a bonfire, our firepit awaits, accompanied by an ample supply of firewood in the woodshed. You`ll also discover a variety of outdoor entertainment options, including a cornhole game, foldable patio chairs, and a picnic table.
Inside, our vacation home boasts an inviting open floor plan, four thoughtfully appointed bedrooms, and two bathrooms.

Enjoy the convenience of complimentary laundry facilities during your stay.
Stay connected with high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi, as cell phone reception can be spotty in the area. In the living room, unwind on sofas with built-in recliners or take a load off in one of our reclining swivel chairs with ottomans. And for the ultimate relaxation, indulge in a full-body massage chair.
The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, including a dishwasher, and stocked with all the essentials, from plates to silverware, making meal preparation a breeze.
A charming boardwalk leads to a lakeside platform and a shared set of steps that descend to the sandy shores of Lake Superior. Here, you can stroll along the shoreline for miles, hunt for Yooperlites and other intriguing rocks, take a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters, or soak up the sun`s rays. If you`re lucky, you might even witness the mesmerizing spectacle of the northern lights, visible in this pristine location.

The location of this home cannot be beat, and the sunsets are spectacular. The house itself if spacious and very well-kept. We hope to return again soon!
The place was super clean and very accommodating. It literally had everything we needed. The view of Lake Superior was amazing! The hot tub was not on, but the host was responded quickly and came to fix it right away. They were the best!
This nicely appointed newer four bedroom ranch was centrally located for a long weekend getaway in the Keewenaw to enjoy Copper Harbor, Brockway Mountain, and MTU football and hockey.
The house was extremely clean and the property managers were very welcoming! We loved the fact it was right on the lake and really enjoyed the hot tub. We definitely recommend this house and will certainly consider staying here again.
The property is beautiful and quiet. Everything you need and more is available. Would be a perfect rental for a larger group or family gathering as it has lots of space indoors and out. Close to an endless supply of hiking trails and parks.
What an amazing location just steps from the lake with a gorgeous view. The cabin was immaculate and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay! We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and looking for rocks on the beach. We loved seeing all the deer in the area. We hope to return again during the warmer months!
Picked the perfect weekend to enjoy the best of nature. House was great, clean and well stocked, wonderful location right on the beach. Would strongly recommend!!!
We booked this as an anniversary getaway and it was perfect! Everything is as listed. Great space with beautiful view of Lake Superior. The hot tub and massage chair made for a perfectly relaxing vacation.
House was very clean and very well equipped with everything you could need and even toiletries we didn’t expect. Hot tub was awesome! Great spot for stars and northern lights viewing. About a 15 minute scenic drive to the nearest 2 towns which was perfect and lots of hiking trails and waterfalls within 30 mins.
We had a great time! Everything was clean, neat, and available. Kari was attentive and quick to respond to questions about local shops and conveniences.
Great place to stay! Of course, the outdoors is beautiful, but also hosts are easy to communicate with, beds are comfy, and love the added touches like extra plush blankets, the dimmable bedroom lights, and the hall light/bug catcher- so clever! Hope to come back again!
We loved our stay! This house is immaculate and stocked with everything you need. The view is breath-taking! We loved using the hot tub and fire pit on cool Michigan nights. The boardwalk leads down to the beach where we felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves. We definitely recommend this home and would love to go back!
What a perfect slice of paradise. Most well stocked kitchen in a rental that I’ve ever seen. Also the most accommodating. If I had to nit pick, the beds were too soft but there was even toilet paper and laundry detergent there. We will definitely be going back
There is nothing like being on the water. Some days it was calm with no waves, others , just the gentle sounding swish of the water meeting the shore and a couple with about 1 foot waves. Just loved it all.
We rented this property for a snowmobile trip to the U.P. In early Feb. There was not enough snow to ride so we just drove up and enjoyed the cabin. Cabin was great! Well stocked, hot tub was great, cabin was spacious. Overall great experience!!
Worth every penny! Anything you think you might need is already there. Home is beautiful and spotless. Hot tub and massage chair were a treat and all the wood for campfires that we needed. Perfect place to rock hunt and a lot of other things to do. We had a great time and will definitely book again.
