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.

A gem of a house on Lake Superior
This was an exceptional house! It has a great layout and was very comfortable for a group. The host was responsive and helpful. We especially loved the access to Lake Superior, quiet location and proximity to Houghton and Ontonagon. We would definitely book this house again and recommend it to others.

Host sent us a very detailed message about the home with his contact information prior to check in. Home was very comfortable and the surrounding area is very scenic and saw a variety of animals. Sitting around the fire pit on the beach at the end of the days was outstanding. Enjoyed our stay.

Family Vacation
One word, “WONDERFUL!” Our family picks a new location in the U.P. each summer to vacation at for a week. We were not let down with this vacation rental. The waves and beach of Lake Superior entertained our grandchildren everyday for hours! The house was spectacular. Beds were so comfortable, the kitchen was a dream! It was well stocked with anything we needed. The large mud room was an added touch filled with beach toys, extra chairs for the beach, and lots of beach towels! We found this location to be convenient to many adventures. The little Farm market (Grego’s) on Covered Road 5 minutes away was a gem! The Chutes and Ladders park in Houghton was a sure hit! Ice cream store on the premises!! We will forever have this place etched in our memories. As will our family!

Keeweenaw Vacation
This was our second time staying here and we had a great time! The beach/water was perfect for the kids, they had a blast swimming and playing in the sand. Towards the end of the trip they enjoyed watching the waves made by the wind while the adults enjoyed the sunsets. The house is a great place to stay while enjoying the sites of the Keeweenaw. We lucked out and were visiting during the Mineral Days - our kids had a blast at the mineral show and rock swap. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect (but for some bad luck)
Beautiful property, just as described and pictured! We had a wonderful stay. Our only passing discomfort came from the unusually high temperatures during the week we stayed. Many homes in this area don't have air conditioning because they so rarely need it. Without A/C, the afternoon we arrived was hot and stuffy in the house. (We quickly got back in our car and went to the blissfully cold Walmart for groceries. I've never been so grateful to be at a Walmart!- ha) By the evening, the temperatures had cooled down and with the windows open and fans blowing, we were perfectly comfortable. The rest of the week was also hotter than normal temperatures, but really only late afternoon and we managed fine. The views from the back windows were gorgeous, we enjoyed the lake both from in the house as well as down at the beach each night. We all slept comfortably and enjoyed our time in the upper peninsula very much. Thank you!

Sunset Drive review
The cabin was a perfect fit for our family and trip. It was perfectly situated to be about an hour away from our adventures in the Keweenaw Penisula and Copper Harbor and west to the Porcupine Mountains. Also, the beach was quiet and peaceful. The allowance of one dog also a great fit for us.

Perfect home for our stay
This home was beautiful and perfect for our stay in this area. Everything was as pictured and the home was filled with all the extras we appreciate from a week thought out rental. Supplies for the kitchen, blankets and beach towels, a designated place to enjoy the sunset on the beach. Check in/out was easy and Michael answered my question immediately. We enjoyed exploring the Keweenaw peninsula and checked out several beaches, went on a boat tour with Keweenaw Boat tours and a land tour with Yooper Steve. Both we highly recommend. The Quincy Mine Tour was educational and everyone enjoyed it. We had 4 full days to explore and enjoyed all we got to do. Book this house and make the trip to the UP!

Quiet Getaway
Visited Michigan for the first time and wanted a quiet secluded area. This house was perfect! The beach was a short walk from the house and loved getting up and watching the waves of Lake Superior. The house was well stocked and very clean. Our host, Michael, was very quick to answer any of our questions.

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.

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!
