Exceptional Log home on Lake Superior - Near Houghton and Hancock MI

Exceptional log home situated on Lake Superior down a private road on the beautiful and historic Keweenaw Peninsula. Just 10 miles to Houghton and Hancock, it’s the perfect gateway to the natural wonders of historic “Copper Country”. For the adventurous, enjoy hiking, waterfalls, mountain biking or rent an ATV and experience the almost unlimited trails that the UP has to offer.

Back at the log cabin, enjoy a gourmet kitchen, well appointed bedrooms and a great room with 20 foot high ceilings and spectacular views of the lake. At day’s end, sit back and relax to a fire on the shores of the Great Lake watching spectacular sunsets fade into magnificent starscapes.

Perfect for families and couples.

Atlantic Mine Treasure
Communication and host response was always good. My wife and I were making a small trip though the UP of Michigan and our first stop was the Houghton area. This was a great spot to launch from. Easy access to all areas east and west along the Superior shoreline. The house is beautiful and on a the perfect sunset spot to unwind. We did not have kids with, but the beach has plenty of clean sand for children and grandchildren. Highly recommend.

Returning guests!
This is our second time staying at this property and we absolutely love it!!! The access the beach is amazing. The cabin is clean and cozy. We enjoyed dinners around the table and fires in the fireplace. The bedrooms are comfortable and the mud room is perfect for storing winter gear. The location is great for many local activities.

Fantastic location for our 30th anniversary
We had a fabulous stay for our anniversary. The house is beautiful. The location is perfect, far enough away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to stores if you need anything. Michael is a great host, very responsive, everything you need in a vacation home is provided, and the surprise gifts were a wonderful touch.

Paradise in the northwoods
Stunning log home nestled in the northwoods. The great Lake Superior a short walk away. The home is beautifully appointed and the hosts thought of every detail in every space to make our visit comfortable and cared-for. Loved the thoughtful mix of modern & antique furnishings. Best VRBO we have ever stayed in (and we have stayed in about a dozen). Thank you!

Fabulous home on Lake Superior. Beautiful towns nearby. We came to snowmobile but weather did not cooperate. Owner left many pamphlets which helped so we instead discovered beautiful hiking trails. Must see canyon gorge and McLean state park and Hungarian falls So much to do We also just enjoyed the cozy log cabin

Perfect relaxation on Lake Superior
Our family trip to Winter Carnival was made complete with our stay here. Beautiful views of Lake Superior out the back and privates woods view out the front. The home was comfortable throughout with squishy couches (I mean this as a good thing!) and super comfy beds. Fireplace got lots of use. We can’t think of anything that was missed or needed. Wi-Fi was awesome as we did have a few work zoom meetings as well as need to stream various sports, etc. Definitely plan on returning!

A view of the big lake
We enjoyed our stay very much. The view was excellent from the main living area. Kitchen supplies were abundant and appreciated. The basket with s'mores ingredients was a very nice touch! The property was off the beaten path and very quiet. We did enjoy an evening around the fire pit on the beach. I did send a couple of messages to the property manager and he was very quick to respond which was appreciated.

Beautiful property!
We had a great time with our family staying at this property. We used it as a home base to explore the Porcupine Mountains, Keweenaw Peninsula, and all the things in between. It was also nice to be 15-20 minutes from the conveniences of the Houghton-Hancock area. Home included everything we could have possibly needed. Kitchen was stocked and ready to cook for our crew. Watching the sunsets from a campfire on the beach was our family’s highlight. We would definitely recommend this home and would stay here again if we were in the area!
