The siting of the cottage, on a rock ledge that juts out into the lake affords breathtaking and beautiful water views on three sides. 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 Waskington Mine road which runs along the West area of the lake.
Adjacent to the cottage is the 8 x 16 Sauna. This sauna was on the site when I bought it. It was built by a Finnish gentleman who built it in the traditional sense. The sauna has a wood fired heater with rocks that, when hot, can be used to produce steam
