This was my fourth stay at this cottage; I love Eagle Harbor! Plenty of space, *awesome* kitchen, and natural light / fresh air from lots of windows. The heated floors were really nice for the colder evenings. Also, Rodney is wonderful to work with if you have any issues at all. Highly recommended!

Just another day in paradise!

We enjoyed our stay very much. We live in a very rural area and were very pleased with the quite low key atmosphere of the town. Drove to Eagle River and Copper Harbor but the overlook just west of town was a favorite for sunsets!

Wonderful fall visit!

Very neat cabin in a beautiful area! The cabin is nicer than the pics show. It was very clean and comfy. We loved having crackling fires in the fireplace in the evenings. It is in a small neighborhood with one very close neighbor but it was very quiet and peaceful while we were there. We really had a great stay and hope to visit again in the future!

Cozy cabin

A small but cozy cabin that suited our needs for recovery after long days of work on our friend's log home just east of Eagle Harbor. We liked the open floorplan and modern kitchen. We felt like we had the town to ourselves in late April.

What a great way to enjoy the Copper Country!

What a comfortable home to get to spend time in. The modern kitchen and updated bathroom (thanks for a shower stall, so much easier to use!) contrasted nicely with the rustic decor. The bed was super comfortable, too. I love this location and can't wait to reserve it again.

Delightful kittle cabin

This cabin is a cute little property we stumbled upon in our search for a little family getaway. The location is perfect for exploring different parts of the Keweenaw. From photos/memorabilia it appears its been in the family a long time and tastefully update over the years. We will definitely stay here again if its available for future trips.

About the host

Hosted by RODNEY WESTLAKE

Host profile image
The Westlake family has been in Eagle Harbor for 5 generations. My great-grandfather, J.C. Westlake, purchased our family home in 1946. My father, Tom, attended the one-room schoolhouse in Eagle Harbor and our family has lived in Eagle Harbor and managed rentals every year since. I, Rodney, grew up spending entire summers in Eagle Harbor - known to us kids in town as paradise. It has not been difficult to instill that same love for Eagle Harbor and the entire Keweenaw Peninsula in our children, Lucy and Jack (J.C.).

Why they chose this property

There is no better location in town than the lighthouse ridge overlooking the harbor. From our cottage you can take a two minute walk to the lighthouse overlook on Lake Superior and a one minute walk down the sand dune to the Eagle Harbor sand beach (best on the north shore). Everything in town is walking distance from our location and you never have to share a busy road or highway.

What makes this property unique

In floor heating, old-stone fireplace, loft space for children (or adventurous adults), newly remodeled kitchen with locally hand-crafted island, built-in microwave, induction stove-top and the quietest dishwasher you will ever not hear helps make this cabin a wonderful getaway from the normal world. Come and discover Eagle Harbor, the hidden gem (agate, datolite, or greenstone:) of Michigan.
