My husband and I had a wonderful vacation at this beautiful cozy cottage. There is a lot of sights to see at this centrally located rental. We would defintely stay again and recommend this place. It was very clean and comfortable. We visited many historical sites, fished off the dock, grilled, and sat by the firepit in the evenings. The view is beautiful!

Great time visiting with family

We come up every year. We had extra family this year so we rented two cottages and were able to go back and forth between the two during the day. This cottage had the dock and fishing access. The other had close access to town and bridge view on the water. We rented a pontoon boat and went back and forth between the two. Had a camp fire and smores at this cottage. We always enjoy visiting with family around the fire. My son had his kayak for people to use. One of my brothers lives locally and he was able to stop by and visit and do some fishing also. The kids love it here and look forward to it every year. We always pick up and clean it before we leave. I recommend the place. Good location and close to many local attractions. We had 3 adults and two children stay at this cottage comfortably and it worked out great.

Beautiful - we’ll be back

What a beautifu cottage! It had everything we needed for the week - and more. The host has really made sure to have all the neccecities onsite, plus some sweet extra touches. LOVED have a washer and dryer (that was a bonus for us b/c I hadn't noticed that in the description), and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is quite large, which was great because I tend to overpack so there was plenty of space to store our belongings (plus lots of closet space). The lake is gorgeous and although we didn't end up swimming we could have - looks like a nice, sandy bottom by the dock. The dock is perfect for kiddos to fish - my 7 year old caught 47 kid-sized fish over just a few hours and was thrilled. Having morning coffee on the large back porch was my favorite time of every day. Overall, would definitely recommend and we'll be back in the future!

Lovely small house in a great location! It was private, comfortable, and had all the basic necessities for a relaxed weekend. We loved the chance to be by the water, yet close to town and easy access to the rest of the peninsula. Perfect for a couple, would be ok for a small family.

Inviting, homey cottage with the best views!

My sister and I traveled to the UP to enjoy a quiet and outdoorsy week. We found perfection at the Beautiful Lakefront Cottage just outside of Hancock. Clean and neat as a pin with personal touches that made us feel welcomed. We especially enjoyed the back porch with the gorgeous view of the lake. Thank you, Erica!

Northern Lights!

The cabin was as advertised - clean, in a peaceful area north of Hancock but convenient to everything in the Keweenaw. The highlight was seeing a spectacular light show off the dock - we had a great view of the Northern Lights on our first day! Check-in was very easy. Everything we needed for our stay was provided.

Wonderful vacation home

We loved our stay at this cottage. It was clean and very well appointed. We felt it had everything we needed. It was an extra treat to have cinnamon rolls waiting for us on the counter when we arrived. It was the perfect get away location for our trip. My husband and father in law are MTU alumni and we had fun seeing all of their old stomping grounds. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect cozy cabin on the water

Easy to check in/out. Cabin is simple and welcoming, with all the necessities and comforts. We only stayed one night, but would have been comfortable there for many more days. Enjoyed sitting on the porch and swimming from the dock.
