Our stay at the power station was incomparable. It is such a beautiful setting that no matter what is going on you can sit down with your thoughts and be peaceful. Kristen, our host, was gracious, helpful, and enthusiastic to see to it our stay was as comfortable as possible. It is especially important to us that we were able to bring our dog. Thank you for being a pet friendly location. We would and will go back again and we wholeheartedly recommend this oasis to anyone. We have already recommended to friends and family.

The Power Station property is a real gem! Right on the water, so you can relax and enjoy the boats, the sunsets, and the quiet. The walk to the wonderful sandy beach is about 200 yards. The property is comfortable, very clean, and the kitchen is well stocked with cooking, baking, and other prep implements ( Ninja blender, toaster, coffeemaker, coffee grinder,…). The major appliances are new and work well. This was the most relaxed, pleasant stay we have enjoyed in several years. We travel with a dog and this was ideal in all ways.

What a cool place- we had a lovely stay watching the bald eagles and humming birds. Good fishing right off the dock, and the canoes were a huge perk. The house itself is beautiful, with classic rustic touches and great amenities. Loved the DVD collection. We’re already thinking about when we can get back here!

Cute place to stay

My family (including our dogs) had a lovely time staying here. Although I only got a single bite all week, it was very peaceful and the beach was a short walk away. The house was clean and had everything we could want for amenities. Overall it was an excellent experience.

Perfectly Peaceful

This rental is located in an absolutely beautiful area. Everything was provided for a quiet escape. The owners were very helpful and responded quickly to every question. We enjoyed exploring the beach and surrounding area as well as watching Bald Eagles and numerous other wildlife. We highly recommend this rental and this beautiful area of Michigan!

Best property I’ve stayed at

If you love the water it does not get any better than this property. We enjoyed the house, the old boardwalk, the beach and the fishing so much. We will definitely be back next year. My son and I caught giant smallmouth bass right off the dock. The fishing was so good it made it difficult to want to do anything else. I really enjoyed learning about the history of this place, very cool.

Great Place to Stay

Communication was excellent. Picture perfect place for a relaxing summer vacation. Fishing off the dock; quick, private walk to the beach and lighthouse. Fully stocked with everything you need for cooking and cleaning, you only need to provide the food. Single bathroom was not an issue for our family of 6, including 3 teenage girls.

Wonderful

We stayed with our family of 6. 2 adults and 4 kids ages 6-12. There was plenty of room for everyone. We absolutely loved the historic nature of the rental. It was so fun that our front sidewalk (pier) led straight to the lighthouse and beach down the way. Beautiful sunsets each night, this place felt like a home away from home.

Fantastic property! The waterfront location with wharf and dock, walking distance to the beach and lighthouse, were just superb. The house was very clean and comfortable and the kitchen well-stocked. Kristin is super responsive and kind. I can not think of a thing I would change other than the mosquitos which are beyond anyone's control.

Experiencing History

Very comfortable, cozy stay in a historical house. So fun to walk to the lighthouse and the beach. Our son was able to drive over from Houghton to visit in less than 40 minutes. We had a nice dinner at the restaurant in Dreamland. Our daughter and golden retriever enjoyed the little swimming area and the beach. We took the canoes out on Sunday afternoon and enjoyed exploring the little islands in the Portage- complete with shipwrecks.

Quiet and beautiful

Very cute house with water access for canoes or kayaks into a channel that quickly leads to Lake Superior. Well stocked with kitchen needs (cleaning supplies, pots/pans, plastic bags and foil). Short walk down the road or along the breaker wall to a sandy beach of Lake Superior. Everyone enjoyed the stay and wish we could have stayed longer. 20 - 30 minute drive away from nearest town but worth it.

Great set up for our dog

This property worked out so well for our dog which made it great for us. The beach was a short walk away so our dog could swim with us multiple times a day. We could not watch television programs but it worked out. We kept busy, watched a few DVDs and brought a play station. Very peaceful.

Laid back week in the Keweenaw

Loved our visit here. The powerhouse is a very cool VRBO where you can relax and spend some time at the public beach that is a short walk from the house or you can just sit on the front porch and watch all the boats coming in and out of the channel. We also spent our week exploring the Keweenaw Peninsula. Our kids loved splashing in the river at the Tobacco River Park and the white sand beach at Brunette park and the falls at Haven Falls. We spent an afternoon exploring the Delaware Mine and the old mining buildings above the mine. And we enjoyed nice meals at the Dreamland bar & grill (up the road from the powerhouse), at Caremlita's in Calumet, and at the Mariner in Copper Harbor.

Paradise.

My second time staying at the former Coast Guard Station. My first time was totally wonderful. It was everything I'd hoped for. The location could not be improved in any way and all the parts of the stay made it a success. My second time there was like coming home. The view, the water, the sky, the wildlife all brought smiles to my face each day I opened the door to look at the view. I just cannot explain to anyone considering a stay there how special the house is. In a nutshell - I wish it were mine so I could be there forever.
