Copper Harbor - The Ultimate In Scenery & Seclusion On Brockway Mountain

This spacious mountain chalet house is perfect for your winter or summer vacation whether you are planning for high adventure or quiet seclusion. Located on Brockway Mountain and ONLY ACCESSIBLE BY SNOWMOBILE OR ATV DURING WINTER AND EARLY SPRING. This property is a perfect winter or summer stargazing, off-road adventure, and relaxation.

PLEASE NOTE: From December 1st until after "spring thaw", the access road to this property (Brockway Mt Drive) closes and becomes part of the snowmobile and ATV trail systems until the road reopens in the spring. Usually starting April 1st until early May, the property is only accessible via side-by-side or ATV. When Brockway Mt. Dr. is closed, guest vehicle parking is in Copper Harbor at the Copper Harbor Retreat next to the gas station. DAILY GROUP TRANSPORTATION FROM/TO COPPER HARBOR IS INCLUDED WITH YOUR RESERVATION. Please contact your host, Mark, to arrange transportation between the parking area and the Chalet for people and/or gear.

This chalet is perched atop Brockway Mountain and surrounded by nature conservancy land. This pristine 20-acre retreat, only 3 miles from Copper Harbor, offers stunning panoramic views of Lake Superior and the surrounding wilderness. Here is where you can enjoy inspiring sun and moon rises, amazing stargazing, Great Lakes freighters, and the Northern Lights show. Or just lose yourself in the peace and serenity of nature while relaxing on the wrap around deck or in front of the stone fireplace.


ABOUT THE AREA:
Explore all that Copper Harbor and the Keweenaw Peninsula have to offer. In Copper Harbor you will find several unique shops offering local rocks and minerals such as agates, green stones, datolite, copper, local artwork and souvenirs.

Enjoy fine dining at the Harbor Haus and Mariner North, craft beer at the Brickside Brewery. Hike to Hunters Point or the Estivant Pine trail where you will pass hundreds of massive old growth pine. Drive to the top of Brockway Mountain for incredible views of Copper Harbor and beyond. Visit Fort Wilkins Historical State Park, which preserves the restored 1844 military outpost. Play a few rounds of disc golf or regular golf at the Keweenaw Mountain Lodge. For the Mountain Biking enthusiasts - Copper Harbor Mountain Bike Trails were designated as an International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) Silver Level “Ride Center” in October of 2012. Ranked among the top 5 trail systems in the world at that time...

Keweenaw Adventure Company offers shuttle service (and bike rental) for those that prefer to focus on the adrenaline rush from the downhill biking as opposed to the leg and lung challenging uphill. They also offer kayak tours and rentals. Charter a guide service and catch your limit of Lake trout on Lake Superior, or fish from the boat launch or shore of the Harbor. Lake Manganese, Lake Fanny Hooe, and Lake Medora are all within a few miles as well and offer a variety of species of fish.
Lac La Belle, home to Mount Bohemia and 900 vertical feet of the most extreme downhill skiing and snowboarding in the Midwest and possibly the best place to view the fall colors, is only 13 miles away.

Eagle Harbor (14 miles south on M26) offers excellent fishing in the Harbor or at Lake Eliza. Mount Baldy nature conservancy trail is a must hike for those who enjoy a bit of a workout that will be rewarded with an amazing view of Eagle Harbor, Lake Superior, and beyond. The Eagle Harbor Township trails offer peaceful scenic hiking in summer and snow shoeing/cross country skiing in winter.

17 miles south on M-26 is Great Sand Bay, where you will find a pristine sand beach and protected sand dunes. This is a great location for viewing freighters pass by on Lake Superior, scuba diving or snorkeling to explore the copper veins below the water, kite surfing, or relaxing and soaking up the sun.

One of a kind mountain stay
Brockway Mountain is an incredible location with views to take the breath away. The house is situated in a uniquely beautiful spot with wonderful scenery above the trees and the lake. There is a trade-off between convenience and the incredible beauty and peace of mountain living. Visitors should be prepared for "off the grid" living; we stayed in September, and on cloudy days there was no solar power after sunset. There is a generator that adds power but it is very noisy; a quieter generator would make a world of difference. We had no cell service while there, but the house has a good star-link satellite set-up for internet - however, it needs power to run. The house is adequately appointed except for the kitchen which lacks good pots and pans (very scratched teflon). Despite the off-grid challenges, we would visit again because the location, serenity and vistas are truly one of a kind.

Water issues
According to host well went dry on previous guest so host was trying to bring in water. We ran our one day and had to restrict our water usage for all of stay. The host did give us a partial refund but I felt is was the hosts responsibility to inform us of his water issues prior to our arrival and give us the opportunity to cancel with a full refund rather than having us arrival and be stuck dealing with water shortages for our entire stay. also house is off grid and power shut off two morning requiring us to go outside and switch on a very noisy generator.

Amazing Stay
This is truly a one of a kind property, so beautiful! We visited over the 4th of July holiday and watched the Copper Harbor fireworks right from the deck. We enjoyed amazing sunrises every day and the view of passing freighters each day and night. So peaceful! Very private, yet close enough to Copper Harbor, Eagle Harbor and LacLabelle for great adventures! House was perfect and check in was easy. We will be back! Thank you for sharing your property with us Mark!

Amazing Location
This property is all about location! Our Michigan traveling book called Brockway Mountain Drive the most scenic in Michigan, and we’re not surprised. Our understanding is that this is the only private property on the mountain! The place is large and spacious with more than enough room for our family of 7. We had a lot of downtime and that was our plan. There are a couple of hiking trails on the property itself, and others nearby. We drove to the top of the mountain to the overlook to see a spectacular sunset over the lake. Sunrises (over the lake) are incredible at the property itself, but there is also an overlook along the road that has a great view of the sunrise over Copper Harbor. It was also fun for our kids to see the ship traffic. Mark is great to work with. There were a couple of issues with two of the (four) bathrooms, but we had workarounds that were fine. We were cognizant of being off the grid, and conservative with water, electricity, and propane use, but had no issues. Mark was fun to talk to. Very friendly and responsive. Copper Harbor is a great little town. We took advantage of the bakery and a very well stocked small grocery store. Great hiking at Hunters Point right near town along the Harbor peninsula. We definitely recommend this place!

You can't beat these views
Overall this was a fantastic stay! We had a lot of sightseeing to do on our trip but I almost didn't want to leave the property to just chill on the deck and soak it in all day. The views are top notch and the chalet itself is very nicely appointed. I didn't expect good internet in such a remote area, but the connection here was great which was a pleasant surprise. It doesn't mention this in the listing (but I should have probably figured due to it being this remote) but it is powered by solar and a backup propane generator. Not a problem at all for us, but certainly would be a thing to mention in the listing details. I would highly recommend this listing. Nothing can beat these views and being so close by to so many wonderful outdoor activities. Tip: Just a three minute drive away is a pullout area where you can see some of the most spectacular sunsets. We went on a day after some thunderstorms and got some amazing pictures.

A beautiful, secluded property like no other place we've ever stayed. Very clean, with comfortable beds and high quality bedding. Sonos sound system. Plenty of seating inside and out. As much firewood as we could use. Truly a gem. We hope to be back next year.

The location is really the star of the show. The house is great too. I believe there are actually more beds than the listing shows. It is primarily solar powered, which I missed on the listing. That takes some planning at times, but not a problem.

We will definitely stay again! Birdie’s Place was even better than the photos. Attention to detail in every room from the inside out. Quaint touches everywhere. Well stocked kitchen, bath, and bedrooms. Beds were extremely comfortable. Honestly, I could go on and on…this is a must stay. Beautiful, but short drive from Lindale and enjoyed the longhorns next door.

Unbelievable location and a trip to remember. Mark did everything he could to make the trip memorable. We had lots of gear and a high headcount and he was eager to help with transport. The house was great and operated as expected. No surprises. Mark also introduced us to people around town and made us feel right at home. If you’re going to stay in copper harbor stay with mark!

Amazing view!
The property was absolutely amazing. The view is the only thing like it in the area! The home had everything we needed to make it feel like our home away from home. It was a nice surprise that there was a additional bedroom in the lower level that wasn’t pictured. The days we had sun we had no issue with being off the grid and only had to run the generator for a little while one day. We enjoyed the fall colors and the sunrises and moonrises this time of year we’re spectacular. We were traveling in 4WD suvs so the drive down was not a issue but might not be best suited for a lower clearance vehicle. We hope to stay here again!
