Welcome to Water’s Edge Log Cabin

Enjoy our rustic Lake Superior log cabin for the ultimate "glamping" experience! If you want to escape everyday life, this is the place to get away and unwind. There is no cable/satellite TV or internet, but that’s what makes this the perfect place to unplug, relax, play on the white sand beach, and explore the Keweenaw!

There is no bathroom inside the cabin, but you get to enjoy the rustic experience of walking to the outhouse located about 20 steps from the front door. Although there is no running water, there is a water spigot available next door to get water for washing dishes or yourself in the kitchen sink inside the cabin. We provide water containers for this use. You can bathe in Lake Superior or there is a 5 gallon shower bag that can be warmed in the sun for use. Be sure to bring your own drinking water!

Our 1940’s built log cabin features a small kitchen with a refrigerator, electric stove, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, along with dishes, kitchenware, and an outdoor gas grill. The dining area has a table for four. The old stone fireplace is not working but includes remote control lights for ambiance. The cozy living room area is perfect for unwinding after a long day of fun! The one bedroom upstairs loft has one double bed and two twin beds, with a child’s cot available upon request. The loft also includes a place to read or to get a game to play from those provided. There is no central heat/air but an oil-filled electric space heater and a fan are available for your use.

Please note that this cabin has low ceilings. Downstairs ceiling height is approximately six feet. The upstairs has a low vaulted ceiling with dormers. Everyone will need to duck their head in certain spots in the loft upstairs. The outhouse ceiling is very low - use caution when standing.

An outdoor fire pit is available by the beach for nighttime relaxation and s’mores around the campfire. Marshmallow roasting sticks are provided! Firewood is available on site for purchase.

This white sand beach cottage is located on the east side of the Keweenaw peninsula providing beautiful sunrises over the lake, as well as reflections of the gorgeous pink sunsets on the clouds and water in the evening. This is the perfect beach to swim, make sand castles, or just sit and relax. There is a mix of local lake rocks in certain places along the beach that are sometimes buried, depending on the wave action and wind direction, with some erosion control rock showing most of the time. Be cautious of buried rocks on the beach. Most rock hunters find some agates and beach glass when they walk the beach along the bay. Visible from the beach are the Huron Mountains across the lake. You can look forward to a relaxing and fun stay at this tranquil lakeshore location.

Michigan Technological University (MTU) is located just 26 miles south east from the cabin. This is an ideal opportunity to give your student space while enjoying your adventure in the Keweenaw peninsula.
