  We had a wonderful stay at this charming and beautifully decorated cottage. The area is gorgeous and so is the lake. Birds galore and lots of nature hikes. Had some ice cream and a great pizza at the Moose Drop Inn in downtown Michigamme. The trail across the highway from the cottage is beautiful. If you love peace and quiet and enjoy nature this is the place for you! We appreciated the cleanliness of the cottage and the wonderful down comforters on the beds for the cool evenings. We would definitely stay again!

  My husband and I just spent 4 days at this well apportioned and well maintained cabin on beautiful Lake Michigamme. With all the seasonal tourists gone, it felt as though we had that corner of the lake to ourselves. This is a get-away from cell phones, internet and TV, yet close enough to Hwy 41 to hear traffic and be able to use the cottage as a jumping off spot for local sightseeing. Towns from L'Anse to Marquette are easy day trips with much to see in between. There's easy access to all the amemities of a small town in Ishpeming if you really need wireless, fast food, or to stock up on groceries. The guest book gives lots of ideas of things to do and places to see and does not include a trip to McDonalds. This could easily be a quiet get-away for those who need to contemplate life and/or renew their spirituality. A great place to read and write, as well as outdoor adventure. Bring your food (and water if you don't like iron tasting water) the essentials are right there: a coffee bean grinder, coffee maker and 3 corkscrews! The living area is perfect for a yoga mat, and there's a selection of books, games and puzzles. The sunporch faces south and warms up even on a cool day. The breezes off the lake are endless and refreshing. There's a steep flight of stairs between you and the water, so not a great place for little kids and folks with leg problems. The owner has been true to the period of the cabin with his furnishings, and the historical significance of this cabin and it's neighboring building make the stay just that much more interesting.

  Michigamme Arts & Crafts Cottage M ornings are rose, silver, opalescent. I n the Cottage, on the porch: strong coffee fuels our talks: silly, deep, true. C harmed by the Cottage’s treasures, we want to know the story of each furniture piece, each Upper Peninsula object. H ot but pleased with our hiking selves, we return to the Cottage from a long walk in the State Park, where we know moose were watching us, just out of view. I nspired by the stories others have left for us in the Cottage journal, we start listing the colors we can see around the lake. Please expand! G reen and green and green: who knew that chartreuse, verdigris, and emerald live side by side at Michigamme? A rt gallery, museum, craft shops, cafes, friendly people: Michigamme-town wins our hearts. M any supplies and fresh veggies at the farm stand and the IGA down the road in Ishpeming, including the freshest ginger I’ve ever bought. M ake up your mind as soon as you can to come here. Contentments of all sorts await! E ntering the gate to the Cottage grounds, even before we saw the three perfect silver birches framing our porch view of the shining lake, we already felt our urban frenzies floating off. You will, too!

  I spent Thursday evening until Monday morning in this beautiful cottage with two friends. I loved the comfortable charming furniture. The view is fabulous and includes the lake and lots of trees. We bought wonderful food at a farmers market about 15 minutes away and had all the spices we needed in the fully stocked kitchen. We loved eating in the screened in porch looking over the lake. A park with a trail system is just across the road where we saw a Cooper's hawk, a hare, and saw recent moose dropping but no moose. You can see lots of stars at night. We picked out the Big Dipper and the Milky Way. Another park is down the road for more hiking and animal sightings. All in all the cabin is comfortable, clean, charming and fully stocked. The area is absolutely beautiful. I would very much recommend this.

  Owner response: Thanks for the positive review. I am very proud of the property and respectful of its gorgeous natural surroundings. It's always wonderful to share with others. Please come back soon!
