Best Beach on the Keweenaw - Big Traverse Bay on Lake Superior

Located on the east side of the Keweenaw Peninsula, near Houghton and Calumet, this cabin offers panoramic views of Lake Superior and Big Traverse Bay. Often referred to as 'The Waikiki Beach of the Keweenaw Peninsula,' the pure white sand beach is more than 100’ deep and more than three miles long. This cabin's personal beach is over 200' wide with one immediate neighbor.

Year-round 26 x 28 Chalet-style lake house provides 180 degree view of Lake Superior, has central heating, full basement with laundry facilities, full bathroom with shower, and full kitchen. Recent updates include: new sauna, new flooring throughout first floor, tiled bathroom flooring with local Lake Superior pebbles, new twin bunk bed, and kitchen. Available April through early January.
The house's lake side has a 16’ deep x 28' wide deck. Main floor has one bedroom (with bunk bed), bathroom with 5’ shower, and an open concept kitchen, dining, and family room. Family room has a woodburning stove. Interior is lined with Nordic White Spruce tongue and groove paneling imported from Scandinavia--providing a cozy ambiance. Upstairs has two bedrooms; one bedroom has a queen bed and one twin bed, and the large master bedroom has windows overlooking Lake Superior and includes a Queen-size bed. Lie in bed while watching the moon rise over the lake, or--if you're an early riser, watch the sunrise each morning. Basement is well-lit and dry--and has full laundry facilities with washer and dryer; plenty of room to store bikes, skis, etc.

The house is well stocked with amenities to accommodate families (Porta crib, high chair, stroller, toddler life preservers), couples, friends, or someone looking for quiet solitude. There are two kayaks, a SUP (stand up paddle board), and several bikes. The kitchen is fully stocked and is perfect for cooking gourmet meals or something quick and easy.

This property is uniquely situated with a panoramic view of Lake Superior out the front side and a view out the cabin’s backside toward a large wetlands area with lagoon (suitable for canoeing and kayaking) and lots of wildlife: common sitings of bald eagles, sand hill cranes, beaver, geese, ducks, and deer. Great blueberry picking in late summer/early fall on the property, nearby public parks and a pick-your-own blueberry farm just a few miles away. Superb fall colors make autumn a beautiful time to visit.

Woodburning sauna with large changing room, great views of Lake Superior (from within the sauna), and a front patio. Firewood is provided for sauna and for the woodburning stove in the cabin.

Beach is 100+ feet deep and 200 feet wide--providing ample room for almost any kind of beach activity, including volleyball (volleyball net available). Outdoor burn pit on beach, with surrounding benches. Gather around the fire, cook up s'mores, listen to the waves and wildlife. You'll feel that stress fade away.

Cute cabin on the beach
Cute cabin on the beach. Perfect get away for anyone looking for a little lake therapy/wanting to be surrounded by the sounds of waves. The sunrise on the lake and sunsets over the pond were breathtaking. I recommend for anyone looking to explore the Keweenaw!

Beautiful Cottage and Gorgeous Beach
The cottage is very nice with large picture windows across the back facing Lake Superior. It's nice being on the leeward side of the Pennisula as it got pretty cold and snowy. This was easily remedied by putting a few logs in the cast iron fireplace. Very relaxing with a lot of privacy. You can walk over a mile in either direction on the fine sand beach. We will defiantly go back!!

Great stay
We had a great stay here. Perfect timing for the fall colors! House location is great for spending time by the water and on the beach they have but a little bit of a drive to places. Hour from copper harbor and half hour from Calument. For fall is was nice and quite at the house and beach. We would go back.

Absolutely gorgeous beach location!
Our cousins from Florida had never experienced Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and this cottage was the perfect “home base” for our trip. We had lovely weather that allowed us to keep the windows open and enjoy the sound of the waves on the beach. The sauna was used every night and is a great way to end each day. The hosts were extremely easy to work with and I can’t say enough about how welcoming their beach side cottage is. We hope we can be back to enjoy it again in the future.

Peaceful
Quiet, peaceful — just what I was looking for. The cabin has all the amenities I could hope for. I love being able to sit at the table and gaze at the lake from indoors in case the weather doesn’t allow going out on the beautiful deck. The host is immediately attentive to any needs without being at all intrusive. Lovely location and cabin.

Awesome Stay
We looked forward to this trip the past year and it did not disappoint. The location and view is absolutely beautiful. We took full advantage of the sauna to lake plunge daily. The kids loved the beach/water and looking for turtles around the house. Other than food and drink basically everything you need is supplied. We only left 1 time to go into town for the farmers market on Friday afternoons. Great trip!
