Harbor View-Walk to Lake Superior!

HARBOR VIEW

SLEEPS: 2
BEDROOMS: 1
BATHROOM: 1
*RENT 1 CABIN OR ALL 3 TOGETHER
*NO SMOKING ALLOWED IN OR AROUND THE COTTAGE

This cottage was originally a one-room schoolhouse that was moved from a nearby mine. A bedroom, bathroom and a kitchen were then added on, along with a log front porch (covered), which offers a magnificent view of Eagle Harbor. There is one bedroom with a queen bed. This cottage has a FULL kitchen and a living room area. The best view of the water is from this cozy cottage!

A message from the owners:

As a child, I spent my summers enjoying the relaxed lifestyle the small community of Eagle Harbor offered. As an adult, I brought my family up to enjoy the community as often as I could. I am so excited to be able to share a piece of that with others.
Our 3 cottages were part of the original Lake Breeze Resort in Eagle Harbor. Built in the 1920's, this resort had 15 cottages that sat on “The Hill” overlooking the harbor. As time went on, some of the cottages were sold, and we now find ourselves lucky enough to own three.

Frequently Asked Questions:

A/C: There is no central air. A cross-breeze usually keeps it a nice temperature.

ATV's: It's best to leave those at home. There are no trails close by and there is no available parking for a trailer.

Bathroom: 1- 3/4 bathroom (shower only/no tub).

Beach: The beach is just a short walk across the street. This beautiful sandy beach is perfect for swimming and even has an old-fashioned slide!

Bedroom: Bedroom #1-1 Queen bed

Bugs: Typical mosquitos, flies, ants.

Cable: Yes, there is cable!

Cell phone service: Cell phone service is generally unreliable in the U.P., though we have found that Verizon works well here.

Fire pit: There are NO fires allowed at the cottages, but fire rings are provided on the public beach. You can make your own fire with driftwood and/or logs others may have left behind. You can also purchase wood bundles at Fletchy's restaurant on the south end of the beach. Please contain all fires in the fire rings provided.

View of owners vehicle parked 5 ft off porch
Could not stay here because of the musty smell. They had the heat cranked up on a day that it was in the 80’s. No air and windows have to be propped open with a stick - windows full of spider webs. They did provide fans. Dead flies on the table. No door to the bedroom and the curtain they use as a door was laying on the floor. Property mgmt firm was great and very responsive in finding another property in the area. Owner parks their car in front of the porch so their isn’t a clear view,

Loved staying at this cottage. It was clean. Well appointed. Loved being able to walk up to the lighthouse and outlook tower. Enjoyed the front porch in the evenings. It was close to what we wanted to see but we could only stay two nights. Would stay again and hope our travels allow us to stay longer.

Perfect
There is no place in Michigan quite like the Keweenaw. For the last 20+ years this has been where I go to truly get away from it all and recharge. This get away was much needed this year. The host was above and beyond accommodating. The kindness that she displayed will never be forgotten. The Schoolhouse cabin was perfect for two. It has great views of the lake and is very clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend Freshwater Vacation Rentals to all and will be booking again!!

Cozy - a home away from home
The Schoolhouse cabin was like a cozy home away from home, with a well-stocked kitchen and lovely country decor. The view from the cabin's front window (and porch) of the harbor helped make our stay very special. We did not have any additional needs for amenities during our one week stay, as the cabin was so well appointed. We liked staying in Eagle Harbor, as it was convenient to many sights...we were able to take a drive north to Copper Harbor via Brockway Mountain to see the fall colors and south to the see the sunset in Great Sand Bay.
