About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Whole home, private lake, sauna, WFH office

With 14.5 acres, the house feels incredibly remote, but it is not far from a convenience store and restaurants.

Mid-century home with careful attention to the period look and detail

High-quality wireless with a meshed network provides wireless internet to the entire home

Large modern, fully equipped kitchen including a dishwasher, instant pot, and smart pot

Luxurious super luxury sheets and duvet covers on high-quality firm mattresses with an abundance of pillows

2 ponds and a 5.5 whole lake make up your backyard, providing visual splendor at all times right from the wall size window in the living room

Beautiful screened-in gazebo for outdoor dining

Full sauna right in the house

3 kayaks and a pedal boat included

Private office with two mounted monitors in the back of the house

Last house on municipally maintained road with huge open driveway perfect for trailers or multiple vehicles

The whole house, 2 ponds and a lake are yours to enjoy

I have a local onsite property manager located in Michigamme, and in case of emergency, she is on call. I am available by phone, text, and email during your entire stay.

The house is one mile down a paved from US-41, so it is quickly accessible. But, once you turn down Ruth Lake Road, you enter a different world. Homes are acres and acres apart, and there are lakes to the right and left of you. I find it quite calming.

50.7 miles from Marquette's Sawyer International Airport

Carla’s Cozy Inn 3 miles away.

Mount Shasta is 5 miles away. Similar to a Supper Club

Michigamme Market is 5 miles away with gas and groceries

State Park is 8 miles away.

Wonderful Getaway
My husband, father, brother-in-law, and I used this VRBO as our base on a motorcycle trip getaway and it worked out great. The location is beautiful. The house is very clean and worked well for us. It was the right distance from a number of cool things that we could go and see and do while we were there. We really enjoyed having a bonfire at the lakeside and using the sauna each night. I also brought my telescope and the stars were beautiful there at night. The host was responsive and checked in with us during our stay to make sure that everything was going okay. I would stay there again.

There’s not much more that I can add to the already overwhelmingly positive reviews but I’ll give it a shot….. The house is comfortable, clean, well decorated. Very cool mid century design. The property is private and the view of the lake and surroundings are breathtaking. We had one of the best trips as a family here. My children, 6 and 9 loved the backyard and made great use of it!! This place is special. No doubt about it!

We had so much fun! The property is so nice and the lake is beautiful and we caught so many fish! The house has everything you need all the necessities. The beds are so comfy and amazing to sleep in.

We thank the owners for such a wonderful and magical stay. -Joanna, and family

Cozy with a 50's theme
We had a great time. Cute 50's theme inside. Comfy beds. We had a fire every night - watching the sun set behind the beautiful Fall trees over the lake. Hardwood Steakhouse in Covington is excellent! It's a good location for waterfall hunting. We saw many. Amy is a great host.

Quiet retreat
Absolutely beautiful house and property! The retro style of the house brought back many fond memories for me. The house was in immaculate condition upon arrival and Amy touched base with me to make sure everything met my expectations. I would have to say that they exceeded my expectations! The house is in a secluded, quiet area and the views of Lake Edna are stunning. I took a lot of pictures of the fall colors surrounding Lake Edna; they look like postcards. 5 stars all around for this property!!!

Wonderful!!
Our family spent 11 nights here. My boys enjoyed taking the fishing boat out on the lake and using the sauna. The setting is lovely. Unfortunately, we chose the spend more time inside than we were initally planning due to mosquitoes, which were so bad everywhere this year. Fortunately, we were able to still enjoy the outside from the big picture windows. We all loved the retro decor and the living room/dining room is a great place to hang out after a long day of exploring and hiking. We took many day trips to area attractions. The overall layout of the home is very open with great counter space for loading, unloading, meal prep etc. The owner has included many little details throughout the home that added to our stay. Would love to stay here again. There is so much more to explore I bet its beautiful in the winter.

Quiet, Beautiful, Perfect
The house was very clean and had everything you could need. We usually go out to eat a lot on these trips, but ended up cooking almost all our meals at the house, and eating in the screened in area by the pond. The property as a whole was great, but Lake Edna was like something out of a postcard. We spent a lot of time out on the rowboat, fishing and relaxing. The kids were thrilled, as they caught a ton of fish during our time there. Peaceful neighborhood, felt far away from everything, but about half an hour to anything you could need. Highly recommend this place, and hope to come back some day.
