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.

This was my fourth stay at this cottage; I love Eagle Harbor! Plenty of space, *awesome* kitchen, and natural light / fresh air from lots of windows. The heated floors were really nice for the colder evenings. Also, Rodney is wonderful to work with if you have any issues at all. Highly recommended!

Just another day in paradise!

We enjoyed our stay very much. We live in a very rural area and were very pleased with the quite low key atmosphere of the town. Drove to Eagle River and Copper Harbor but the overlook just west of town was a favorite for sunsets!

Wonderful fall visit!

Very neat cabin in a beautiful area! The cabin is nicer than the pics show. It was very clean and comfy. We loved having crackling fires in the fireplace in the evenings. It is in a small neighborhood with one very close neighbor but it was very quiet and peaceful while we were there. We really had a great stay and hope to visit again in the future!

Cozy cabin

A small but cozy cabin that suited our needs for recovery after long days of work on our friend's log home just east of Eagle Harbor. We liked the open floorplan and modern kitchen. We felt like we had the town to ourselves in late April.
