About this property
Eagle Harbor's House on the Hill
The House on the Hill is perfect for families looking for a peaceful place to relax in Eagle Harbor, Michigan.The House on the Hill is one of very few year-round cabin rentals in the area. The cottage, perched high on the lighthouse ridge overlooking the harbor, is only a short walk to the beach. Step onto the front porch and soak in the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and sparkling harbor waters.
HOUSE ON THE HILL
A great-room designed, private cottage including one bedroom with a queen bed, a open living area, loft bedroom, brand new - fully equipped kitchen, walk-in-close/bathroom, and covered front porch with fantastic views. This cottage is ideal for a family with children that can safely climb a ladder - kids love the loft! No pets please.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by RODNEY WESTLAKE
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.
