About this property

Enchanting Views from Unique Hand Crafted Waters Edge Cottage

Welcome to East Lake Lodge - overlooking the water , the 2 bedroom (total 3 queen beds) 2 bath home is approx. 1350 sf. - Up to 4 guests welcome. This is a NON-SMOKING , NO PET cottage on picturesque Lake Medora, a pristine 680 acre lake, 4 miles from Copper Harbor.

The Cottage was newly constructed in Oct. 2011. The 1st floor includes full bath, gourmet kitchen / granite island, living room with leather sofas, hardwood and slate flooring with oriental rugs. The 2nd floor includes laundry, half bath, 1 bedroom w/ one queen bed, and 2nd bedroom with two queen beds, hardwood floors, with Oriental Rugs.

The 8 x 16 Sauna building is great for relaxing. The sauna has a wood fired heater with a rock surround that, when hot, can be used to produce steam. Wood is supplied for the sauna.

The Workshop / storage building, visible in the background photos is not part of the rental. This building is used by the owner when he is on the property.

Also for your use are 4 kayaks, a paddle boat and 12' aluminum boat. The aluminum boat is built to accommodate mounting a trolling motor or 10 hp motor (motor not provided). The lake has three islands and miles of natural shoreline to explore.

The siting of the cottage, on a rock ledge that juts out into the lake affords breathtaking and beautiful water views on three sides. Constructed in 2011 on the footprint of the original fishing camp, the cottage is located in the heart of the Keweenaw. As such you can easily make day trips and hikes to all points of interest in the area. Come up and escape the summer heat! It is a relaxing drive up too!

Speaking of hiking - the lake is surrounded by miles of trails that radiate out from the lake in different directions. These can be accessed from lake Medora road, which loops around the East and North sides of the lake and from Washington Mine road which runs along the West area of the lake

Berry patches are abundant in the area in and around the lake. When in season, usually late July through August, massive quantities of Thimbleberry, Blueberry, and Black raspberry can be picked. I will be happy to let you in on some special spots when you rent!

ATV trails also abound in the area and provide access to beautiful woodlands and senic vistas, so bring them along.

Not for renter use is the workshop structure. It is used by the owner when we are at the site.

Lovely, well-care for rental

Medora Cove is a lovely home that is obviously well-cared for by the owner. The lake is great and having the kayaks and the paddleboat was awesome! Really enjoyed the sauna as well. We found plenty to do in the surrounding region.

Awesome house on the lake!

My sisters and I spent 8 restful days here at this beautiful lake house. Location was perfect, close enough to hiking and all activities we wanted to do. The lake was beautiful and we so appreciated being able to use the owners kayaks at our convenience. Beautiful kitchen, we enjoyed cooking out meals here. Would definitely return!!

East Lake Lodge

Our family had an amazing stay. The lodge and property are picture perfect. Lake Medora was described as one of the prettiest lakes in the Keweenaw by several locals. Everything was in good order and just as described in the listing. Cary was a fantastic host and always available , if needed. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We can't wait to visit again!

Exceptional Stay

This was a great spot for my wife and I while visiting Copper Harbor. Lake Medora was beautiful, perfect for a few kayak outings, and provided a brisk but accessible (unlike Superior) nightly pairing with the woodfired sauna. Cary was very responsive and more than flexible when we needed to adjust our arrangements. His home provides a high quality, unique experience on the lake just a few miles/minutes from town.

Excellent place to stay!

Cottage and property is well maintained and clean. Cottage has many amenities, in particular the kitchen, it is a great place to cook and hang out. Plenty of room to watch whoever your chef is prepare dinner. Cottage overall is quite comfortable. The views of the lake and surrounding hills is very beautiful. Cary, the owner, makes every effort to make your stay comfortable. He is a good guy besides. We stayed the past two Octobers and plan to stay again, everything was great!

Awesome Home!

The home is situated right on the water with hummingbird feeders on the deck which attracts fearless hummingbirds that will literally buzz right next to you. The home has amazing woodwork that was obviously installed and finished by a master carpenter. The home is exceptionally clean, with a well equipped kitchen that is also supplied with gourmet coffee. There is plenty of firewood for both the firepit and the sauna. Communication with the owner was exceptional before and after arrival.

Amazing Lake Medora Retreat

This property was spectacular. The home was beautifully handcrafted by the owner. The attention to detail was truly amazing. There is lovely wood detail throughout the entire home, modern kitchen with excellent amenities, 2 nice sized, comfortable bedrooms and 2 baths. The home was spotlessly clean. The house is seated on a rocky outcropping on the east end of Lake Medora and it is quiet and peaceful. The owner was kind and thorough and provided all information needed for a perfect stay. This is a delightful home for a relaxing getaway in the Keeweenaw Peninsula. The location is perfect for traveling to local attractions. We would highly recommend this rental if you are in need of a perfect vacation. You will not be disappointed, as this home will meet all your needs.

Breathtaking view and cabin

We absolutely loved our stay here at the cabin. Not only it was beautiful and clean with amazing wood work but also easy to find, yet hidden paradise. We loved sitting at the bar watching the lake and the hummingbirds. Really enjoyed the sauna, it was a wonderful experience. We loved taking the paddle boat into the lake to watch the most magnificent Sunsets. I loved cooking and washing in the nice kitchen, watching the lake and the ducks. The cabin was close to Copper Harbor, Eagle River and Eagle Harbor making it easy to see amazing lighthouses and water falls. Loved seeing Stairs to the Beach, Brockway Mountain and Esrey Park along with many other beautiful areas. Thank you Carey for sharing your cabin with Us. We can’t wait to come back. John and Kathy

Copper Harbor Fishing & Rock Hunting Trip

Cary was an excellent host! He explained everything in detail and there wasn’t anything unexpected. Our fishing trip wasn’t the best due to an oddly warm year. But it was nice to come back to a cozy and clean cabin! The driveway was a little tight to try and get a bigger boat in. But made it work. Overall this was a great trip and a beautiful location to stay. Can’t get much closer to the water!

Quiet,cozy and peaceful getaway.

My wife and I always wanted to visit Copper Harbor Mi. We took a chance on the ten hour drive and it was well worth it. This cottage practically sits over the lake surrounded with a beautiful view. This solid well built cottage possess an abundance of charm in every room, revealing Cary the owners obvious wood working talents. It has everything you need with a well appointed kitchen. Be sure to visit the Brockway Mountain Drive for a breathtaking view of Lake Superior and the surrounding hills. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset at the highest point with a cup of coffee just minutes from the cottage. We also visited Fort Wilkins and the nearby Keweenaw Mountain Lodge. We took a day trip down to Hancock and toured the Quincy Copper mine and surounding area which we found interesting and informative. Cary the owner was extremely pleasant to work with and knowledgeable of the area. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway this is where you want to be. We hope to return there in the near future.

No Surprises

A few items for future vacationers: the description of the cottage was accurate, clean, and since everything is either self explanatory or there is a note about it, we did not have to get hold of the owner or manager for anything. There are some things like spices and coffee left in the cottage that you will not have to buy. It may be a good idea to see what is in the cupboards before going out and buying items like salt-and-pepper, basil, garlic powder...etc. We did everything from kayaking to looking for agates on Lake Superior. We caught keeper size perch and small mouth bass (on Lake Medora) and had a great fish fry the following day. I could not rate my stay high enough. What a wonderful and reasonably priced place to spend an awesome vacation with my son and friends.

We had a fantastic week at this wonderful location

The owner is very helpful and ready to make your stay perfect. This is a great location for all the hiking, biking, and kayaking this area has to offer. We had two couples and we enjoyed the sunsets, the grill for cooking fresh whitefish from Jamson's fish market in Copper Harbor, as well as the quiet nights in a safe and secluded location. We'lll be back for sure!

Perfect base camp to explore from

This cottage on Lake Medora is a perfect place to stay for exploring the Keweenaw Peninsular. Copper Harbor is just a few miles away, Eagle Harbor, Lac la Belle, and Eagle River easily accessed by road as well. The cottage is well appointed with everything you need. Everything was obvious and "just there". No need to contact the owner or property manager while onsite. Owner is responsive to emails leading up to the stay if needed. The cottage is clean, usable, and beautiful. The area is itself is unique and beautiful. Thanks Cary. -Chris F.

Most Relaxing Vacation Ever

The perfect place for our week in the Keweenah. The cottage is immaculately maintained and has all the comforts of home. We made good use of the fully-appointed kitchen as well as the kayaks and paddle boat. We enjoyed leisurely morning coffee overlooking the lake, day trips to all the Keweenah sites, and nightly drives up Brockway Mountain to see the sunset. It was a wonderful week!
