VRBO Listing #159708Arts & Crafts Cottage - on Michigan's Most Beautiful Lake
Location
Owner info
About the owner: I've been enamored of the UP my entire life and each trip I find something new to love. Nature, people, culture, history, the Upper Peninsula is truly one of the great undiscovered treasures of America. Leave your worries behind and come up to the great northern paradise.
Why the Owner Chose Michigamme:
The Upper Peninsula reminds me of Maine--without the summer tourists. Spectacular scenery with waterfalls, rock formations, and clean, clear water. I can hike all day and rarely see another human being, or choose a trail where other families are having a good time. People in the UP are relaxed, friendly, and helpful. If you meet a local, be prepared to spend a half an hour passing the time of day and talking about the weather, fishing, and local hotspots.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
Along with the dock, there are two secret beaches--one on the property and another just a four minute walk away. The last time I was on this beach, I shared it with a family of otters. If you canoe up the Peshekee Rver, you'll see painted turtles sunning themselves on logs protruding from the water. I've seen clear evidence of moose(!), but have yet to meet up with one in person. I like to hike the trails across the street in the early morning or late afternoon, and rarely see another person. Kayaking on the Lake in the early morning or late summer evening is peaceful and serene. While there might be a jet boat or two on the other side of the Lake in the afternoons, the Lake is generally quiet all day. Fishermen linger near the mouth of the Peshekee and by the drop-off to the southeast of the dock. If you have a boat, there are 5,000 acres of water on Lake Michigamme to enjoy. If you don't, go for a paddle on the canoe that's provided.
