Sunrise Beach – Private Lake Superior Retreat with Sandy Beach
Sunrise Beach is a rare and unforgettable Lake Superior retreat, located just 5 miles west of Munising and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. This authentic log cabin sits on 10 private wooded acres with direct access to a wide, sugar-sand beach, offering breathtaking views of Grand Island and Lake Superior just steps from the cabin.
This is truly a location-driven property—the kind guests return to year after year for the setting alone. The combination of privacy, beach access, and proximity to area attractions is hard to find.
Sunrise Beach is a seasonal property, available for rentals from mid-May through October.
The Cabin
The cabin features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing comfortable accommodations for families or small groups.
Sleeping arrangements include king beds and a bunk room, making it ideal for couples, families, or friends traveling together.
Inside, you’ll find the charm of an authentic log cabin paired with modern conveniences, including:
Fully equipped kitchen Cozy gas fireplace for cooler evenings Two TVs with streaming capability Wi-Fi internet
This is not a luxury home—but it offers a comfortable, clean, and inviting space where the focus is on the experience of being on Lake Superior.
Outdoor Living & Beach Experience The sandy shoreline is perfect for long walks and is a favorite for guests traveling with their dogs.
This is where Sunrise Beach truly stands out.
Direct access to a wide, sandy Lake Superior beach Expansive shoreline just steps from the cabin Fire pit for evenings by the water Screened porch for relaxing and enjoying the lake views
Guests often spend most of their time outside—walking the shoreline, watching the waves, or simply taking in the views of Grand Island.
Location
Sunrise Beach offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience.
5 miles to Munising and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Easy access to boat tours, kayaking, hiking, and waterfalls Short drive to local restaurants, shops, and attractions
A casino, restaurant, and gas station are located approximately 2 miles away on M-28 for added convenience.
Good to Know Seasonal rental (mid-May through October) Located directly on Lake Superior (conditions can vary) Dogs are welcome with prior approval and additional fee No parties Professionally managed by Hiawatha’s Hideaway
Beach & Privacy
Sunrise Beach offers a peaceful and private setting, with the cabin tucked into a wooded lot and a sandy lakeside yard that feels secluded and quiet.
Like most Lake Superior shoreline, the beach itself is not private, and others may occasionally walk along the shoreline. However, this is typically minimal, and guests enjoy their own space directly in front of the cabin for relaxing, swimming, and enjoying the water.
Guests return for the rare opportunity to stay directly on a sandy Lake Superior beach with privacy, space, and unbeatable views. It’s a place to slow down, reconnect, and experience the beauty of the Upper Peninsula in a way few properties can offer.

The location was incredible and the cabin was just right for what we needed. Stayed outside most of the time because you just could not beat sitting on the beach.
Beautiful cabin, very quiet and peaceful. I really appreciate that there is bottled water supplied because it is well water. Host was very responsive and everything was clear. We truly enjoyed our time there and hope to stay there again.
I don’t want to say anything good about this place because I want it available the next time we want to head North! The property was perfect and we enjoyed our stay. Very well maintained!

Easy to find, close to Munising, Au train and other attractions. The house had a great layout, view of Lake Superior, beach and sunrises from the living and the bedrooms. The beach was awesome.

We stayed over Christmas and New Year’s and had a great time. The property is very secluded and private. Perfect for long walks, hiking and certainly the lake is great.
We loved it and will be back.
Lisa was super helpful and everything worked out perfectly!

The location on Lake superior is absolutely beautiful. The cabin is in a quiet community where you have privacy. You can fall asleep to the waves on Lake Superior. The cabin is well furnished and clean. Great experience!
We went to the location in Christmas for a late summer family gathering. The cabin was so roomy and had all the amenities we needed and more! The location is so private , surrounded by woods yet opens up to the bay off of Lake Superior with a sandy beach. So beautiful!
The cabin was perfect for our family. The private beach was amazing and views was spectacular, enjoyed the fire pit cooked s’mores.
The check in process was easy and owner made everything easy and communication was above average.
The gift basket and of bread and blueberry jam was a nice gesture we appreciated everything about the property
We highly recommend this cabin, we definitely will will be back
This rental was extremely clean and quite private. There are two primary bedrooms with their own full bathrooms on either side of the house separated by a great room. This makes an excellent set up for two adult couples. The kitchen is great for entertaining with newer appliances. Great home!

This property is gorgeous! We loved the private beach. The lake is so clear. The water is cold but the kiddos didn't care. They had so much fun on the beach and in the water. The house was very comfortable for the 7 of us. The location is great! We went to the pictured rocks, a couple of waterfalls and the sand dunes. We would definitely like to return someday!

Thank you for leaving a review... we really appreciate it and we are happy you enjoyed your time here. Come back soon!
The location was absolutely incredible and exactly what my family was looking for. There were some water issues that the property management knew about and had warned us about and they are in the process of fixing but was a bit frustrating. The lake was beautiful, the house was clean and comfortable. We had a wonderful time. L
