1932 Charming Cottage at the Lake

ATV or snowmobile from the driveway to trails 4 blocks away. LOCATION! LOCATION! Street dead ends in front of the house and becomes short pathway to one of the largest sandy beaches of Lake Superior. 1932 cottage has been restored and renovated including 28 new blinds and a newly carpeted upstairs 400 sq ft open living and sleeping area with new bathroom overlooking the habitat of trees that separate the house from the big Lake. The 1932 hardwood maple floors have been restored on main floor and bathroom has been renovated but original tub with shower remains. Adjacent bedroom has sliding glass doors to a small patio overlooking the side yard firepit and peekaboo lake views. The front porch with 12 windows and front door separate entrance can be used as the 3rd bedroom. Relax on the down filled sofa and pull out memory foam queen mattress and have breakfast on the 4 top table with the morning sun. Everyone's favorite room in the house. Dining room table comfortably seats 8 and plenty of dishware in china cabinets. Enjoy the large new rear deck and step down and build a fire in the side yard firepit while you barbeque or make a fire on the beach while watching the sunset. Stay up late and you may see the Northern Lights. 125 foot driveway that ends at alley for alternate exit, plenty of room to park cars, trucks, ATVs and snowmobiles, direct access to trails from the house. Walk on the beach or drive to Township Park one mile away. Take a 5 minute stroll to Main Street (River Street) and stop at famous Syl's cafe, Krist gas station/minimart, shops, Stubbs Museum bar, etc. Ontonagon River is 4 blocks away where you can fish, kayak, rent a pontoon or boat. Waterfalls are nearby and the largest state park the Porcupine Mountains including the Lake of the Clouds where fall colors are spectacular is a 25 minute drive. Lake of the Clouds was featured on September 24, 2022 when USA Today announced the Upper Peninsula of Michigan as the 2022 1st Best Destination for Fall Foliage in the US. In the winter, take advantage of lake effect snowfall. Why trailer your snowmobile when you can sled to the trails from a 125' driveway. Location! Location! Ski the Porkies 20 minutes away.

Adorable bungalow on Lake Superior
Incredible place to enjoy on Lake Superior. The location is perfect for sunrise and sunset beach walks and a quick jaunt to Stubb's Museum Bar (coolest watering hole in the county), the beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked with cookware and dishes. The hosts really thought of everything. Absolutely love this place and will 💯 stay here again!

Older cottage but cute and well kept. Good for families as separate bedrooms and bathrooms are private. Good location, within easy walking distance to downtown. Close to Porcupine Mountain State Park. Would recommend.

So close to everything!
Very clean and cozy for family. Great firepit in backyard, and a new deck to enjoy morning coffee... but you might want to take a very short walk to the Lake Superior sandy beach to have your coffee at sunrise or cocktail at sunset. Perfect home base for our exploration of 24 waterfalls!

Great little place
The property is very cute. Two bedrooms, two baths. Near Lake Superior. Because it was during the off season we had the whole beach to ourselves to let the dogs run and run. Our stay was too short. Would go back again.

Cute cottage
Adorable cottage! Love the updated bathroom in the upstairs. Only one suggestion: the key to the front door basically doesn't work because it's worn. We left it unlocked and only used the entry door since it was a code lock and easy to use:)

Perfect location
This was long way to travel but we knew it would be worth it and it was. Bonfire location in the yard was our meeting place, we brought our own wood but excellent wood was provided and a very pleasant surprise. Beds were comfortable, lots to do in the area, wildlife was a pleasure to wake up to. The best fishing, hiking and rockhounding we won't forgot anytime soon.

This was a good location to explore the Porcupine Mountains from. There were alot of pans and appliances to use. We appreciated being able to bring our dogs and they liked the beach. The upstairs bathroom was nice. It is an older home with original woodwork but could use some updating. some updating some updatbathroom
