About this property

Charming LAKE SUPERIOR Beach Cottage in Keweenaw, near Calumet. NORTHERN LIGHTS!

Discover your favorite home away from home on the Keweenaw Peninsula, right on LAKE SUPERIOR! Portside Cottage at North Shore Cottages has everything you want in a lakefront cottage and so much more. Our central location can't be beat and our hospitality is unrivaled.

Each of our cottages or lake-houses are private from one another with separate yards and driveways plus we have no neighbors along the shore for miles, unlike anywhere else up here. Fantastic for agate pickers, swimmers and sun bathers and those seeking the NORTHERN LIGHTS. While being uniquely quiet and private we still have the convenience of all local services including restaurants, emergency, floral to car repair in downtown historic Calumet a short 3.5 miles away. We are also conveniently located near all area attractions; Copper Harbor, Mt. Bohemia, Swedetown, and the Houghton/Hancock area.

The cottage has 1 bedroom with 2 double beds and a rollaway couch in the living room. The kitchen has all the necessities like gas top stove and refrigerator, plus extra amenities such as a microwave oven, electric coffeemaker, French Press, and toaster. Ample supply of utensils, pots and pans to cook. A variety of dish and glass-ware plus sundries such as dish soap and towels provided. The bathroom has a full bath/shower, Apotheke toiletries, hair dryer and all bath towels provided in a variety of sizes. High speed Wi-Fi is included for streaming, zoom, and all other high-speed needs.

Our location is very clean and well-maintained with an extra touch to create a memorable and relaxing stay. Our team takes great pride in their work and they go above and beyond to accommodate the guest with an unparalleled stay in Keweenaw. We love to help with special requests or can stock the fridge for an additional fee.

Open year round, come relax and enjoy the natural beauty and tranquility of the cottage surroundings from the wrap-around deck that overhangs above Brewery Creek and faces Lake Superior directly, just steps to the sand or relax in the cozy patio furniture. Take a kayak or stand up paddle board at sunset for an experience like no other. End your day with a beach fire and a night sky like you won't see anywhere else, aurora borealis or not.

You will truly love the beauty of the Copper Country and love staying at North Shore Cottages, even if you never leave your cottage! For close to 20 years we have been a go-to favorite for so many repeat guests year after year. We book out for summer and other popular dates at least 1 year in advance.

The host was friendly and timely in respose. The cottage is perfect for our little adventure. Its wonderfully located on the lake, but close enough to town to enjoy the shops and restaurants. We ventured out to see Michigan Tech's winter carnival, checked out shops down town and snowshoed along the lake. It was exciting to have a little bit of everything. With realizing we missed some prime outdoor fun, Swedetown in particular, we are already planning to come back!

This is a Gem!

I hate to say too much about this cottage, because then everyone will want to stay there and it will be booked solid. This Premiere Host has a way of keeping everything updated and cleverly arranged. Love the view! The neighbors (eleven deer) were as quiet as possible as they passed by the cabin at sunrise and sunset. It's just a special place. Thanks for sharing it with us.

FYI, not “secluded, quiet” as advertised.

Extremely clean and cozy cabin. Upon arrival, we discovered this cottage is actually part of a RESORT consisting of 3 to 4 other cottages- the largest (and loudest) of which located approx 20ft from our cabin. Unfortunately, this info was not mentioned in the property description.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Mar 2020

This is about as private as it gets... I own several other vacation cottages at a private beach on a dead end road at the shore. All cottages are private from one another with different driveways, addresses and separate yards. There are miles of undeveloped private beach to the north and south. Really you won't find something more private and especially for $150/nt. Unfortunately the guest was under the impression she rented Lake Superior as a whole. These women arrived very angry and aggressive. The one woman approached me with her phone and a picture of the beach slamming it towards me and her e-cigarette waving in the other. After I was yelled for 30 minutes I decided I needed to contact VRBO to find out how to handle this problem as I did not care to be yelled at for a week straight, all while catering to them as a host. They advised me that I could allow her to cancel and re-book another VRBO property. Guess what they did??? Sent me an apology and said they did not wish to book somewhere else, that the cottage and grounds were beautiful. At the end of the week when they packed up they hauled off with buckets of beach stone they spent hours of (1-star) time collecting and hammering open in the yard. If they encountered anyone along the beach they would interrogate them on their total privacy issue. Throughout the week they wanted to apologize in person at the cottage but I just didn't feel comfortable with them at this point and didn't feel it necessary. I was not going to spend more time with the stress of these ladies but I felt their dishonest low star review needed a response because my cottage has been so overwhelmingly loved for several decades now. Their names have been added to a list for other local homeowners so nobody else has to endure a similar situation.

Beautiful cottage poor communication

The cottage is beautiful. The view is amazing. But beware....there is no cell service when you get there, you will need to drive to the end of the road if you dont have the wifi password with you. We were not able to find the cottage. I had called and left a message for the owner even though the voicemail says not to and texted them trying to get help to find the cottage. I am still waiting for them to respond.

Wonderful cottage and location on Lake Superior

Our stay in early May was wonderful! There were no crowds, beautiful waterfalls, interesting weather variations (fog , frozen harbor) and beaches for walking and rock hunting (yooperlites)! The location is great for exploring Keweenaw Peninsula. We enjoyed nature trails, lighthouses, historic copper mines, and the mineral museum. The sunsets at the cottage were beautiful. The cottage is very comfortable, had everything we needed (and more), and the sound of the babbling brook is so relaxing! The hosts were very welcoming with treats on the table upon our arrival (delicious homemade bread, coffee and more) and they gave immediate responses to questions. FYI the "tourist season" opens in mid-to-late May, so some stores and restaurants were closed or had limited hours. It didn't impact our trip as we spent most of our time outside enjoying nature without crowds and insects!

Perfection!!!!

The weather let us down but North Shore Cottages did not! Check in and check out couldn't have been any simpler. The kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils we needed. The attention to detail, the thoughtful welcome gifts, and the care in the set up of the whole cabin was so nice and welcoming. Truly above and beyond! You can tell that the host really understands what’s important to us travelers! While we never needed to contact the host for any issues, all of their contact info was in the welcome book if we needed it and I just know they would have been happy to help if needed! My daughter and I enjoyed the easy beach access and all the amenities! Can’t wait to visit again some day!!!

About the host

Hosted by Philip Roberts

Hello, My name is Philip Roberts. My grandparents purchased this property in 1927 as a residence where they had a small farm and ran the C&H Mining Waterworks which provided city water for Calumet and surrounding area.

Why they chose this property

The Roberts family has enjoyed this beach property for three generations. We built the cottage in 1999 to share this special place with visitors from all corners of the world.

What makes this property unique

Running alongside the cottage is a small babbling trout stream that opens up to Lake Superior on the beach. There you can enjoy a campfire under the stars or even catch the northern lights, take a dip in Great Lake Superior, hunt the perfect rock or agate, fish 'til the sun goes down, barbecue on the charcoal grill and picnic at the picnic table, or take a nature walk and enjoy the natural beauty of the beach and forest. In the winter, ski, snowmobile, or snow-shoe right out your front door.
