Lakefront home, Beach, Hot tub, Sunsets, Firepit, near McLain State Park

Escape to our exquisite 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom vacation home nestled on the shores of Lake Superior, just a stone's throw away from the enchanting McLain State Park and campground. This newly built haven, completed in the spring of 2022, rests upon a sprawling acre of pristine Lake Superior lakefront property, offering unparalleled views of the lake's beauty.

As the sun dips below the horizon, indulge in a lakeside barbecue on our provided grill or unwind in the soothing embrace of our Hot Tub, sheltered by a spacious covered patio. For those who crave the crackling warmth of a bonfire, our firepit awaits, accompanied by an ample supply of firewood in the woodshed. You'll also discover a variety of outdoor entertainment options, including a cornhole game, foldable patio chairs, and a picnic table.

Inside, our vacation home boasts an inviting open floor plan, four thoughtfully appointed bedrooms, and two bathrooms. We've designed your comfort in mind, with beds adorned with plush 3-inch foam toppers (adjustable to your preference) and a commitment to washing all bedding, including comforters, between every stay, ensuring a pristine and hygienic environment. Enjoy the convenience of complimentary laundry facilities during your stay.

Stay connected with high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi, as cell phone reception can be spotty in the area. In the living room, unwind on sofas with built-in recliners or take a load off in one of our reclining swivel chairs with ottomans. And for the ultimate relaxation, indulge in a full-body massage chair.

The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, including a dishwasher, and stocked with all the essentials, from plates to silverware, making meal preparation a breeze.

A charming boardwalk leads to a lakeside platform and a shared set of steps that descend to the sandy shores of Lake Superior. Here, you can stroll along the shoreline for miles, hunt for Yooperlites and other intriguing rocks, take a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters, or soak up the sun's rays. If you're lucky, you might even witness the mesmerizing spectacle of the northern lights, visible in this pristine location.

For larger groups, we offer two identical vacation homes side by side, providing the perfect opportunity for extended family gatherings or reunions (subject to availability).

Conveniently located between Hancock and Calumet, our vacation home serves as a gateway to a world of outdoor adventures. Explore the nearby Bear Lake nature trail, McLain State Park's hiking and biking trails, or the renowned Maasto Hiihto and churning rapids multi-use trails. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the inclusion of bean bag toss (cornhole) and lawn darts for friendly competition.

With a multitude of attractions within reach, you can easily explore the wonders of the Copper Country, from historic sites to natural wonders. And if you're planning to bring snowmobiles or ATVs, rest assured that we have ample space to accommodate one or two trailers, depending on their size. Enjoy the freedom to explore the picturesque trails and rugged terrain of the surrounding area.

Come experience the serenity of Lake Superior, the comfort of our modern amenities, and the adventure that awaits in Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula. Your perfect lakeside getaway begins here!

The property is beautiful and quiet. Everything you need and more is available. Would be a perfect rental for a larger group or family gathering as it has lots of space indoors and out. Close to an endless supply of hiking trails and parks.

House was very clean and very well equipped with everything you could need and even toiletries we didn’t expect. Hot tub was awesome! Great spot for stars and northern lights viewing. About a 15 minute scenic drive to the nearest 2 towns which was perfect and lots of hiking trails and waterfalls within 30 mins.

Worth every penny!
From the quick responses of the host to the beauty, comfy-ness and cleanliness of the house, and the gorgeous outdoor setting, this place was top notch. Just about everything you need in order to have an enjoyable vacation was provided. We absolutely loved the beach and lake, enjoyed walks along the beach rock hunting (found a handful of yooperlites & one uranium glass) and paddle boarding on the lake. There was not one drop of rain during our whole stay. The excursions we went on included visiting downtown Houghton, the Hungarian Falls, The Jam Lady, The Jampot, Copper Harbor and Canyon Falls. We would consider staying here in the future, but not if we’re traveling with our dogs, since they’re no longer allowed at this rental. Greatly appreciate the hosts’ hospitality and providing a perfect stay for our family and pups. Every day felt as if we were in paradise! (:

What a beautiful place
There is nothing like being on the water. Some days it was calm with no waves, others , just the gentle sounding swish of the water meeting the shore and a couple with about 1 foot waves. Just loved it all.

Superior vacation home!
The house was beautiful, well stocked and overlooked the beach with beautiful sunsets. We were there with our daughter and son-in-law and 5 year old granddaughter and 6 year old grandson. The kids appreciated the toys that were available to play with. They provided all the cooking equipment you’d need to cook in. There were beach towels and extra hygiene products (toothbrushes/paste, shaving razors, etc). The house was exceptionally clean! The host was very responsive if you had any needs. We would definitely stay again.

We loved our stay! This house is immaculate and stocked with everything you need. The view is breath-taking! We loved using the hot tub and fire pit on cool Michigan nights. The boardwalk leads down to the beach where we felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves. We definitely recommend this home and would love to go back!

Great Location, just needs a little polish
This was a great property with lots of activities nearby. Only negative aspects were very nit-picky and should not deter enjoying this property. These are the little items that just likely need addressed. Single Ply TP...no one likes this on vacation, but may be an issue with the propery to ensure less clogging. Some doors did not latch directly unless you lifted up on them. BBQ was not out and had to be drug out of the shed during Memorial Day weekend which I expected to be just out and ready to go for a holiday weekend. Backyard could be better maintained for weeds With all that being said, everything else about this property was spot on, well communicated with the host, and overall a great experience. You will not be dissapointed with the view of Lake Superior and the access to the beach. Would definately stay here again!

The trees were changing colors and the area is beautiful. The view of Lake Superior is stunning! Being able to walk down the steps to the beach was relaxing and private. We enjoyed the waves and rock hounding. The house is new and spotless with everything you could ask for. Once we sign onto their wi-fi we all had full service on our cell phones and laptop. We enjoyed the hot tub which was super clean also. Really nice firepit with wood supplied. Birds and a few chipmunk visitors in the mornings with coffee. Would love to go back!
