Location: Michigamme, Upper Peninsula, Michigan, USA (35 Miles To Marquette, the UP's Capital.)
Accommodations: Cottage, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4)
This Arts & Crafts cabin was once the caretaker's residence of the Michigamme Lake Lodge, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It's small and charming, and comfortably houses four people in two bedrooms. It is very clean and cozy.
The lake porch overlooks the water for beautiful mornings and evening meals. The dock is down a stairway, or you can follow a wooded path to the water at the other end of the five-acre property. You can explore the lake or the Peshekee River on the canoe that's provided, or launch your boat at one of four launches on the lake and tie it to the dock in front of the cottage.
The lakefront home is secluded and quiet, and the property is wooded. The property is shared with one other home and is gated and private, but situated within the boundaries of Van Riper State Park.
All the amenities of the Park are available. There is a four-and-a-half mile trail directly across the road, where you might be lucky enough to spot a member of the local moose herd. Within a short drive are many wonderful lakes, waterfalls, rivers, trails, hills. The McCormick Wilderness Tract is directly north and Craig Lake State Park is ten miles west. This is one of the most spectacularly beautiful, and least explored, areas of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Lake Michigamme is a picture-postcard lake with 95 miles of shoreline, 27 islands and over 4,300 acres of water. With depths down to 70 feet it also holds a wide variety of game fish-walleye, pike, bass, muskie, trout and whitefish to name a few. A few jet skis cruise the water on summer weekends, otherwise the Lake is home to canoeists, kayakers, pontoon boats, vintage cruisers, small sailboats, and fishermen.
The Peshekee River is steps away, and offers a beautiful setting for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking.
Boat rentals are available at the State Park or private campground next door.
