Lovely, quaint 70-s style cabin on a beautiful lake in a remote area - was lovely with the changing fall leaves and the fog in the morning over the water!

So far off the beaten path and most beautiful scenery! Hands down one of my favorite places I have been too! Reminds me of Breckenridge, Colorado!

Beautiful spot! Personally LOVED the mid century mod decor. Peaceful and relaxing. Great location between Houghton and the Porcupine mountains. The off road trails to wherever you want to explore are right out the driveway. And of course the sunsets on agate beach on Lake Superior. Just what we needed for the week. Oh yeah and our last evening we saw an eagle while relaxing from the living room. Great time all around!

This roomy, quiet and secluded guest house features panoramic lake views. The kitchen is well-equipped and there is plenty of room for family fun inside and out.
