Eagle Harbor's House on the Hill

The House on the Hill is perfect for families looking for a peaceful place to relax in Eagle Harbor, Michigan.The House on the Hill is one of very few year-round cabin rentals in the area. The cottage, perched high on the lighthouse ridge overlooking the harbor, is only a short walk to the beach. Step onto the front porch and soak in the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and sparkling harbor waters.

HOUSE ON THE HILL
A great-room designed, private cottage including one bedroom with a queen bed, a open living area, loft bedroom, brand new - fully equipped kitchen, walk-in-close/bathroom, and covered front porch with fantastic views. This cottage is ideal for a family with children that can safely climb a ladder - kids love the loft! No pets please.

Cozy cabin in the Keweenaw
Tastefully appointed cabin with updated open kitchen. We really appreciated the fireplace in the evening, the in-floor heating system, and the large entry/laundry area to store gear out of the way. The main bedroom is on the first floor, but twin beds in the loft require a climb up a steeply sloping ladder/steps. Great for kids, not so much for geezers, but we managed okay. Beautiful location overlooking the Eagle Harbor beach. We appreciated the solitude afforded by the off season but were glad that Eagle Harbor Inn was open for dinner on weekends (a two-block walk). Rodney, our host, was very responsive.

I felt so relaxed and at-home. The house had everything you could need. I was alone but I think it would be an ideal place to bring a family. The collection of board games was impressive.

Wonderful fall visit!
Very neat cabin in a beautiful area! The cabin is nicer than the pics show. It was very clean and comfy. We loved having crackling fires in the fireplace in the evenings. It is in a small neighborhood with one very close neighbor but it was very quiet and peaceful while we were there. We really had a great stay and hope to visit again in the future!

This was my third stay at this cottage; I love Eagle Harbor! Plenty of space, *awesome* kitchen, and natural light / fresh air from lots of windows. The heated floors were really nice for the colder evenings. Also, Rodney is wonderful to work with if you have any issues at all. Highly recommended!

Just another day in paradise!
We enjoyed our stay very much. We live in a very rural area and were very pleased with the quite low key atmosphere of the town. Drove to Eagle River and Copper Harbor but the overlook just west of town was a favorite for sunsets!

What a great way to enjoy the Copper Country!
What a comfortable home to get to spend time in. The modern kitchen and updated bathroom (thanks for a shower stall, so much easier to use!) contrasted nicely with the rustic decor. The bed was super comfortable, too. I love this location and can't wait to reserve it again.

Cozy cabin
A small but cozy cabin that suited our needs for recovery after long days of work on our friend's log home just east of Eagle Harbor. We liked the open floorplan and modern kitchen. We felt like we had the town to ourselves in late April.

The other reviews are accurate. Clean, well-appointed, convenient, spacious, and comfortable. Rodney responds immediately and is very helpful. Would definitely stay here again. FYI the switch for the counter/sink lights are on the back of the island…took us awhile to find them! That is not a complaint, just a tip. You will love this place.

This was my second stay at this cottage; I love Eagle Harbor! Plenty of space, *awesome* kitchen, and natural light / fresh air from lots of windows. The heated floors were really nice for the colder evenings. Internet was slightly less stable than last year, but very functional overall. I was able to use WiFi calling for cellular needs, and HD video streaming was available most of the time. Also, Rodney is wonderful to work with if you have any issues at all. He responds very quickly and is friendly and easy to talk to. Highly recommended!

Delightful kittle cabin
This cabin is a cute little property we stumbled upon in our search for a little family getaway. The location is perfect for exploring different parts of the Keweenaw. From photos/memorabilia it appears its been in the family a long time and tastefully update over the years. We will definitely stay here again if its available for future trips.

Another Wonderful Trip
Great location, fabulous property...what more could you ask for? I have never been to Eagle Harbor so early in the year and I was pleasantly surprised by the attitudes of the local deer who made us feel like they were the rightful citizens of the village and we humans were just the insignificant intruders. Lol. But honestly, it was a great experience. Cabin is well-stocked with essentials, just BYOF (food). It was nice that the Eagle Harbor Inn was operational while we were there this time around. We normally get provisions in Houghton/Hancock or at the local Pat's in Calumet, but the second night there neither of us felt like cooking so the Inn was what we decided on. The pizza there was something to write home about (I am partial to the Lobster Pizza...YUM). The House on the Hill is has become somewhat of my "sweet spot" in these past years, and as always, we cannot wait to return.
