Beautiful historic lighthouse!
Overall, we were blown away by the entire trip. Jan the property manager was amazing to work with - she responded quickly and was very detailed in her instructions and recommendations for local spots. We brought our snowmobiles and this location is very close to trail 151, plus there was plenty of space for our jeep, trailer, and snowmobile parking.The interior design is beautiful and the front sun room with views of Lake Superior is my favorite part. Absolutely recommend this place to anyone who loves the beauty and history of northern Michigan. We hope to be back!

Luxury, quiet, beauty, and comfort!
We both were frazzled from life and after a 14 hour trip to Eagle River, it was pure heaven! The house was immaculate. It is spacious and very tastefully and minimally decorated to reflect the area and history. The kitchen had everything! Our favorite room was the “library,” with an absolutely stunning view of the lake, sunsets, and town. We opened both French doors and had the most delicious west-east breeze all day and night.(I even slept there 2nights!) The drives to Eagle Harbor and Copper Harbor were easy and scenic, with numerous places to pull off to explore and take pictures. Never once turned on the TV. The books were fantastic The bed was super-comfortable. I even spotted 2 large Yooperlites about 3-4 feet out in the surf one night, but due to my unsteady footing, could not reach them. The only suggestion I would have (and this coming from one with unsteady walking) is to have non-slip strips on the edges of the steps leading down into the lower rooms. The painted steps can be slippery in sock feet. We will be sharing our stay with friends and highly recommending this place to others. Thank you for the experience!

The Lighthouse is perfect in every way! The host went above and beyond to make sure that we had every comfort imaginable, including local bread, syrup, and fresh flowers. The Lighthouse is extremely clean, very well maintained and perfect for enjoying the natural beauty of the area. The bed linens, pillows, hand soaps and towels were exceptional and made for a wonderful nights rest. We highly recommend this outstanding property!

Beautiful place!
We splurged on this rental, and it was quite worth the cost. Such a beautifully appointed home. The bright white furniture in each room of the home gave the place an open and airy feel. The kitchen had everything we needed, including cinnamon bread and pure maple syrup for making delicious french toast. We spent time on the shore and enjoyed the short walk to The Fitzgerald for dinner. Our only suggestion would be to upgrade the one small Direct TV in the home to a larger smart TV. Perhaps a second in the bedroom as well.

Best place I have ever stayed
The place is immaculate. Even the potted plants are perfect. Not a dead leaf or flower...We used the Master Suite and I loved the shower. The bed was perfect. Bonus gift of breakfast makings. The sun room was so relaxing and cozy. Fire pit was great for the evening. Make sure you bring food as there are no stores anywhere. Wish we didn't live so far away. Would love to return. The lighthouse part was a fun addition too.

Relaxing weekend
The lighthouse and the property were beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. We loved the sun room and the herd of deer that came right up next to the deck to graze. The town seems relatively empty this time of year and many businesses were closed, but we didn’t mind the quiet and had a very relaxing weekend. Would definitely stay here again!
