Awesome Stay
We all enjoyed a lot this place and stay. It was an awesome stay there :)
A little tight
For the amount of people that stayed, there is not enough Kitchen and Dinning area to accommodate. Also the dinning chairs need to be replaced. They are about to collapse.
Stately beach house REALLY impressed my guests!
I reserved this beautiful beach house for a ski weekend at Mt. Bohemia for myself and a group of friends. Once we arrived, I received MAJOR bonus points from everyone for finding such a unique, historic house for us to stay. The fireplace and scenic view of Lake Superior from the living room immediately set us into the relaxed vacation mood we were looking for. With plenty of sleeping accommodations, a full kitchen, and even a sauna, we had everything we needed for our large group of 8 adults. Phillip is very responsive and does a fantastic job making you feel welcome and excited for your stay. His "heikki lunta" snow dance was very effective for excellent ski conditions! We made the trip for the skiing, but now we're looking forward to returning to enjoy this relaxing beach house as well! I look forward every year to my return to North Shore Cottages!
Great view,
We really enjoyed our stay the house had everything we needed, loved the view and fireplace. We had over twenty people in the house for a dinner and had plenty of room. Philip stopped to meet us and see that we had everything we needed. Hope to stay there again
Very nice home in a great location.
This place had all of the amenities we were looking for in a vacation rental. Plenty of room and great views. More than enough room for our group of 5 adults, 2 teens, and our dog. Nice views of Lake Superior during the day and beautiful sunsets every night. As an added treat, we happened to be there several nights where we couldn't keep up with counting the number of shooting stars overhead. The location is perfect. Remote enough to be secluded, yet only minutes away from Calumet conveniences. Philip is a great host and does his best to make sure guests are well-accommodated. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice place to stay in the Keweenaw.
Home on beautiful part of Lake Superior
We enjoyed the historical family photos and whimsical items that decorated this home. Also we made buttermilk waffles with the waffle maker. Our first homemade Belgian waffles! This was a lovely area for quiet walks with the dog. A number of other vacationers in the cluster of cabins enjoyed gathering at night around a fire they built on the beach. There was a nice fire ring with chairs on Lake Superior. My parents, in their 80's, enjoyed sitting there in the day. Philip is gracious and available to answer questions.
Map
Nestled in the wooded shore line of Keweenaw County, this stunning property on Lake Superior is a short 3 miles to historic Calumet. Calumet was once the epicenter of Copper Mining and one of the wealthiest cities in the state. Today it serves as a National Historic Park and a view into yesteryear. This house was built by C&H (Calumet & Hecla) Mining company over 100 years ago. Come relax on the large deck or sandy beach with a speckled shoreline of agates, thompsonite, as well as other Superior treasures. Explore the almost 4 miles of undeveloped beach surrounding the home and the near by nature preserve, Black Creek Nature Preserve. Great for bird watching, northern lights sightings, rock hounding, and well deserved rest & relaxation. Come see why our customers prefer our properties, and keep coming back. To ensure availability of desired dates, we recommend booking 6-9 months prior as we fill up fast.
