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

NORTHERN LIGHTS and LAKE SUPERIOR 1 bedroom beach Cottage 3 Mi From Calumet.

Discover your favorite home away from home on the Keweenaw Peninsula, right on LAKE SUPERIOR! Clubhouse Cottage at North Shore Cottages has everything you want in a lakeside cottage and so much more. Our central location can't be beat and our hospitality is unrivaled.

Each of our cottages or lake-houses are private from one another with separate yards and driveways plus we have no neighbors along the shore for miles, unlike anywhere else up here. Fantastic for agate pickers, swimmers and sun bathers and those seeking the NORTHERN LIGHTS. While being uniquely quiet and private we still have the convenience of all local services including restaurants, emergency, floral to car repair in downtown historic Calumet a short 3.5 miles away. We are also conveniently located near all area attractions; Copper Harbor, Mt. Bohemia, Swedetown, and the Houghton/Hancock area.

The cottage has 1 bedroom with 1 queen bed and a rollaway couch in the living room. The kitchen has all the necessities like gas top stove and refrigerator, plus extra amenities such as a microwave oven, electric coffeemaker, French Press, and toaster. Ample supply of utensils, pots and pans to cook. A variety of dish and glass-ware plus sundries such as dish soap and towels provided. The bathroom has a shower, Apotheke toiletries, hair dryer and all bath towels provided in a variety of sizes. High speed Wi-Fi is included for streaming, zoom, and all other high-speed needs.

Our location is very clean and well-maintained with an extra touch to create a memorable and relaxing stay. Our team takes great pride in their work and they go above and beyond to accommodate the guest with an unparalleled stay in Keweenaw. We love to help with special requests or can stock the fridge for an additional fee.

Open year round, come relax and enjoy the natural beauty and tranquility of the cottage surroundings from the lake side deck, large picture windows or just a short ways to the beach to dip your toes in the sand. Take a kayak or stand up paddle board at sunset for an experience like no other. End your day with a beach fire and a night sky like you won't see anywhere else, aurora borealis or not.

You will truly love the beauty of the Copper Country and love staying at North Shore Cottages, even if you never leave your cottage! For close to 20 years we have been a go-to favorite for so many repeat guests year after year. We book out for summer and other popular dates at least 1 year in advance. Call or email for information on wedding and event options or to secure your reservation today!

Lovely Cottage

This is the cutest little place. Perfect for a small family. The house was hard to find with the GPS not working as great since service is hit or miss. After 40 min going up and down the street we asked some ladies walking and they pointed us in the right direction. The lake isn’t to far down a little walkway, however… the black flies made it hard to enjoy the outdoors, locals said they aren’t usually as bad in July… but I have never been to the U.P. Now I know and will use that info for next time. The AC worked but the button wouldn’t let you turn it cooler. Luckily the evenings were chilly and the temp in the house was tolerable. The sunsets there are to die for. Rock hunting on the beach was also amazing. We enjoyed a bonfire and spent a few hours exploring the town of Calumet just 3-5 miles away. Cute place and would stay here again.

Keewenaw adventure

Homemade rustic French bread (that made awesome French toast for breakfast), a bowl of chocolates & fresh flower arrangement greeted us at this beautifully decorated cottage. Very comfortable bed & fluffy towels. Private beachfront for hours of rock hunting, swimming & nightly bonfires. Enjoyed short drive to historic Calumet where we immersed ourselves in its mining history & culture. Property mgr quickly responded to needs. Would have liked to have some folding chairs to use on beach ( we did not bring any). Bathroom really needs a brighter light fixture. We’d highly recommend NorthShore cottages to friends & family

Cute and cozy

What a gem! Impeccably clean and the cutest decor, it was a joy even to just hang out and we were happy to return to the property each time we left. We had the best time staying in the Clubhouse while in town for a wedding and fit our small family perfectly with the pull out couch and one bedroom. Already planning a return trip with extended family and friends soon. Thanks for being our home for a few days!

Loved it!

Quaint little cabin with an excellent view of Lake Superior. The eclectic decor was perfect for giving it that ‘clubhouse’ feel. We spent our days hiking and touring the Keweenaw Peninsula. Our evenings were spent on the beach watching sunsets, walking and sitting by the fire. So this cozy cabin was perfect for relaxing at the end of a busy day.

Nice Place

The cabin was well decorated, in a good location, and had an a very nice bed to sleep in (Tempur Pedic I think). The TV had a Roku which I used every night and they provided some snacks and water which was nice. Some negatives were that there wasn't a lot of lighting, there wasn't a skillet, and there wasn't a large pot (for Spaghetti, etc.). We ended up driving to Walmart to get these kitchen items so the good news is that we left them behind so they will be there from now on.

Great getaway cabin!

We came up in the beginning of November and this place is all we needed. We went out to eat once and hiked a little but ultimately stayed in the cabin and walked the shoreline. We watched the stars at night and had a fire. The cabin was so comfortable and had everything you need for accommodations along with large windows overlooking the lake while you relax on the couch. The owner is prompt in responses and linens and wifi are provided. We can’t wait to come back this winter for another getaway.

Great place to stay for a honeymoon

This property was very nice. Short walk to the beach made it easy to go look for rocks and driftwood on Lake Superior and just take a walk. Was a short drive to Houghton and copper harbor about a half hour for either. The inside was set up very nice as well. Had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect UP Paradise

We loved our short vacation to this rental for our anniversary. We read sunsets are a must see, so every night we went down to the beach, made a fire pit from the rocks on shore and used driftwood to have a fire. We didn’t have much luck with the Northern Lights BUT seeing the Milky Way was incredible, much more visible than down south. The house was very clean and comfortable. We loved sitting out on the deck at night with the string lights lit up. Town is a very short drive. Didn’t get to use the Sauna but we hope to next time! A few fun places within an hour Prospectors Paradise, Brockway Mountain Drive, McLain State Park and Horseshoe Bay. The house comes with all amenities. Philip helped let us use his air compressor for our bikes. Overall loved this experience and hope to be back soon!

Peace and Tranquility

This was my second stay at this resort, only in a different cottage. This is a very relaxing environment on Lake Superior yet close enough to whatever else you may need or want to explore. The host is very quick to respond to any questions or concerns. The property is well maintained and our cottage was clean, comfortable and inviting. We enjoyed having our own fire pit and the wifi is secure and reliable. Wifi calling works well. Plenty of beach access and places to just sit and relax. The bed was very comfortable and there is a screen on the atrium door in the bedroom. The main room has a ceiling fan, however the windows do not open and there was no screen door on the main entrance so it was a bit difficult to cool down the main area. The big windows do offer a lovely view of the fairytale type path and Lake Superior. The deck is a great place to have meals. There is a wonderful skylight above the sink in the bathroom that offers natural light during the day. The bathroom is small, however very adequate to ones needs. If you are large or extra tall the shower may be an adventure, however for average sized individuals it is just fine and has a wonderful rainshower head in it. Once again, thank you Philip! I will be back, hopefully soon!

Odd little house in a beautiful location

This property is one of five or six rental units on a private lot with its own gorgeous beach. The owner is militant about keeping non-renters off the beach, so we had plenty of space to ourselves. The house is not right on the water, as it sits at the back of the property, but the water is visible and the beach just a 2-minute walk away. We watched some amazing sunsets over the lake. The property is far enough from town that we didn't hear traffic or sirens, but close enough that we could get take-out from a local restaurant and it was still hot when we got back to the house. The house itself is tiny; although the description says it sleeps four, anything more than two would be cramped. The house is also very full of knick-knacks, which do get in the way; as one other reviewer mentioned, there isn't much room left over for the guest to put their own things. The kitchen was small but fairly well stocked. The shower is also tiny. We didn't have hot water the first morning we were there, but the owner was prompt about addressing the problem. The bed is comfortable, and everything was clean. The house does not have much ventilation. The front door does not have a screen door, so we could not leave it open (flies and mosquitoes). There are two floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, but they do not open. The only operable window is in the bedroom, which also has an exterior door with a screen door. The living room got stuffy while we were cooking, and could be uncomfortably warm on a hot day. The lighting is also an issue; the living room lights are dim, and there is only one movable lamp. The bedroom does not currently have bedside lamps; one was missing and the other, while present, didn't work. The owner could also improve the description of amenities on VRBO; we couldn't tell from the description whether there was a grill so we brought our own, but found out that there is a nice gas grill on site. Overall, we liked the place and would stay again.

Modern cabin with great views!

This was our third stay at North Shore Cottages and we still love it! This was our first time staying in this cabin and it did not disappoint. Just like all the cabins, everything you could need to lock yourself in for a week is provided. (There’s even a crock pot in the kitchen!) The decor is nautical themed and gives the perfect ambiance for the Lake Superior setting. Philip is a great host! He lives on the property, but is not intrusive at all. He responds almost immediately to any questions you may have. WiFi is available and you can make calls through WiFi calling, otherwise there is no cell service. There are paths along the property to the beach, which makes for great agate hunting (which we LOVE doing) without the crowds of public beaches. You are only a 5 minute drive from Calumet where there are great local shops and a great grocery store as well. It is a great location if you want to explore all that the Keweenaw has to offer! We can’t wait until our stay next year!!

Beautiful little cabin with a great view!

My SO and I stayed at the clubhouse in January of 2019 and it was so peaceful and relaxing. We had a few minor hiccups (as to expect with the -18° night they had before we got there) but Phil was super accommodating. We will definitely be back...just probably in the summer!
