This beautiful cottage, once owned by local artist Alice Reynolds, sits on the shore of beautiful Lake Superior.
You will love this 2-bedroom cottage with its newly remodeled interior. This cottage has 1 bathroom with shower and a private outdoor shower. There is a gas grill for your convenience as well as a fully equipped open concept kitchen.
There are many activities to enjoy around the area such as hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing, exploring the area beaches, hunting for agates and Yooperlites.
There are also times that you may want to explore the old copper mines, take a ride up Brockway Mountain, or Copper Harbor... all just a short drive away.
If you choose to stay with us during the late summer, please feel free to pick berries from our Thimbleberry bushes. Yum!
So, tell the office you're on vacation, come to the UP and enjoy our little slice of heaven.
Keep in mind you are in the uppermost part of Michigan and Wi-Fi can be spotty, but that's what vacation is all about right?
