Cozy and great location
The cottage is cozy and has everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved sipping our morning coffee on the front porch overlooking Eagle Harbor. Just a few steps away is the Eagle Harbor Lighthouse, which is a great place to see the stars. We even caught a glimpse of the Northern Lights! The 6.3 mile hike up Mt Baldy is close by and worth the effort! We hope to come back!

About the host

Hosted by RODNEY WESTLAKE

Host profile image
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

The best part about the Hilltop cottage is the view from the front porch/main room. Facing south and overlooking the Harbor, the views are incredible all year long, but especially in the Fall and early Spring. The cottage is simple and efficient with a queen sleigh bed and a work desk in the bedroom, and a recently remodeled kitchen and bathroom, all utilizing the space perfectly.
