A Tasteful Place

This is a beautifully unadorned cabin in a remote location that provides you with the solitude you may seek [at least between seasons when we stayed]. The grand space, fireplace, and views are the paradigm of a classic cabin. In a world of fake, unembellished pure materials, furniture, and all accessories of this fully equipped place make it a true gem, just a short walk from the cliffs. We would love to came back for recharging our batteries. Thank you to this wonderful host for this rare tasteful experience.

Cozy cabin in the Keweenaw

Tastefully appointed cabin with updated open kitchen. We really appreciated the fireplace in the evening, the in-floor heating system, and the large entry/laundry area to store gear out of the way. The main bedroom is on the first floor, but twin beds in the loft require a climb up a steeply sloping ladder/steps. Great for kids, not so much for geezers, but we managed okay. Beautiful location overlooking the Eagle Harbor beach. We appreciated the solitude afforded by the off season but were glad that Eagle Harbor Inn was open for dinner on weekends (a two-block walk). Rodney, our host, was very responsive.

Wonderful fall visit!

Very neat cabin in a beautiful area! The cabin is nicer than the pics show. It was very clean and comfy. We loved having crackling fires in the fireplace in the evenings. It is in a small neighborhood with one very close neighbor but it was very quiet and peaceful while we were there. We really had a great stay and hope to visit again in the future!

Just another day in paradise!

We enjoyed our stay very much. We live in a very rural area and were very pleased with the quite low key atmosphere of the town. Drove to Eagle River and Copper Harbor but the overlook just west of town was a favorite for sunsets!

What a great way to enjoy the Copper Country!

What a comfortable home to get to spend time in. The modern kitchen and updated bathroom (thanks for a shower stall, so much easier to use!) contrasted nicely with the rustic decor. The bed was super comfortable, too. I love this location and can't wait to reserve it again.

A small but cozy cabin that suited our needs for recovery after long days of work on our friend's log home just east of Eagle Harbor. We liked the open floorplan and modern kitchen. We felt like we had the town to ourselves in late April.

This cabin is a cute little property we stumbled upon in our search for a little family getaway. The location is perfect for exploring different parts of the Keweenaw.

Another Wonderful Trip

Great location, fabulous property...what more could you ask for? I have never been to Eagle Harbor so early in the year and I was pleasantly surprised by the attitudes of the local deer who made us feel like they were the rightful citizens of the village and we humans were just the insignificant intruders. Lol. But honestly, it was a great experience. Cabin is well-stocked with essentials, just BYOF (food). It was nice that the Eagle Harbor Inn was operational while we were there this time around. We normally get provisions in Houghton/Hancock or at the local Pat's in Calumet, but the second night there neither of us felt like cooking so the Inn was what we decided on. The pizza there was something to write home about (I am partial to the Lobster Pizza...YUM). The House on the Hill is has become somewhat of my "sweet spot" in these past years, and as always, we cannot wait to return.
