Lakefront family getaway;large dock;private boat ramp;Pretty cottage;large deck!

Come enjoy Amazing sunsets on the lake at Sunset Cove vacation home, the newest additional to Hiawatha's Hideaway - vacation homes! Located on 16 mile lake, close to Pictured Rocks, your family will enjoy the peace and quiet in this area and stunning views of the lake with 200 ft of shoreline! Watch the Bald Eagles from the Large deck w/outdoor furniture for relaxing outside or inside in the sunporch! Bring your own fishing boat, there is a private boat ramp right on the property and space for parking your trailer. The large lakeside deck offers a peaceful setting.

This 1500 square foot home has three bedrooms, one 1-3/4 bathrooms and everything for your vacation holiday. The lake is ideal for boating and fishing. Swimming on site with sandy bottom. The house is located in a cove, so the bottom has silt on top of the sand, which goes away if enough people swim in the area. No jumping or diving from our dock.

Fully equipped kitchen with coffee bar and large living room overlooking the lake.

The main floor walkout level features a master bedroom with king bed, full bathroom with tub/shower combo, fully stocked kitchen, laundry, comfy living room and sunroom. The sunroom has easy access from the lake and deck.

Upstairs are two more bedrooms, one with a queen bed and one with two twin beds and the 2nd bathroom with shower!

Our cottage is located in the woods, not too far from Pictured Rocks area with some full-time neighbors. This is a family friendly area so perfect for a small family and couples getaway. No parties here.

Two kayaks and one paddle board included.
Valley Spur cross country ski and snowshoe trails are only 6 miles away!

Perfect Family Get Away

I can not stress enough about how clean this property is. You feel comfortable from the moment you arrive at the property. And they put so much thought into all the little extras you might need or forget about. Coffee, tea, creamers, wood, lighters, flashlights, toothbrushes, toothpaste, blenders, grill, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, bug spray, sun block, board games, soap for laundry………. I was just so impressed. They thought of everything. We will be back!
Amazing sunsets!

Our family of four enjoyed our time in this home on 16 Mile Lake. The home was immaculate and had everything we needed - except a tea kettle. We even .ade use of the wafflemaker! The lake views were stunning. We saw a pair of bald eagles, osprey and lots of geese and ducks. The water toys were a big plus. We had easy access to the national park and Superior seashore - which was our main reason for visiting the area. We would recommend this home to any family and would happily stay again if we return to the area.

Comfortable, clean, convenient home

Sunset Cove is a well maintained comfortable home in a lovely location. Highlights were kayaks and other boats for paddling, lots of relaxing seating inside and outside, beautiful lake views, water that tasted fine, kitchen with many cooking utensils and appliances, soft comfortable beds, ample supplies (dish and hand soap, toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, laundry detergent, beach towels), wifi and streaming, board games. Communication with property manager and check-in were smooth. Water pump and water heater were noisy but worked well. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

Family vacation

A beautiful house with all that we needed within easy driving distance to our activities in and around Munising. For the most part a very lovely and quiet neighborhood, although on Thursday and Friday there was a lot of gun/target practice, including what sounded like rapid-fire (or perhaps fireworks).

Beautiful home in a beautiful spot

We visited Sunset Cove on a trip to see Pictured Rocks. The home and amenities are wonderful. The location is perfect. It was so nice to start the day with coffee on the deck and end the day with a fire on the beach. We used the kayaks and paddle boat and our only regret was not staying longer. We had two couples and it was perfect, but it could easily accommodate another couple or a family. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.
