Best Beach on the Keweenaw - Big Traverse Bay on Lake Superior

Located on the east side of the Keweenaw Peninsula, near Houghton and Calumet, this cabin offers panoramic views of Lake Superior and Big Traverse Bay. Often referred to as 'The Waikiki Beach of the Keweenaw Peninsula,' the pure white sand beach is more than 100’ deep and more than three miles long. This cabin's personal beach is over 200' wide with one immediate neighbor.

Upstairs has two bedrooms; one bedroom has a queen bed and one twin bed, and the large master bedroom has windows overlooking Lake Superior and includes a Queen-size bed. Lie in bed while watching the moon rise over the lake, or--if you're an early riser, watch the sunrise each morning.

The house is well stocked with amenities to accommodate families (Porta crib, high chair, stroller, toddler life preservers), couples, friends, or someone looking for quiet solitude. There are two kayaks, a SUP (stand up paddle board), and several bikes. The kitchen is fully stocked and is perfect for cooking gourmet meals or something quick and easy.

This property is uniquely situated with a panoramic view of Lake Superior out the front side and a view out the cabin’s backside toward a large wetlands area with lagoon (suitable for canoeing and kayaking) and lots of wildlife: common sitings of bald eagles, sand hill cranes, beaver, geese, ducks, and deer. Great blueberry picking in late summer/early fall on the property, nearby public parks and a pick-your-own blueberry farm just a few miles away. Superb fall colors make autumn a beautiful time to visit.

Woodburning sauna with large changing room, great views of Lake Superior (from within the sauna), and a front patio. Firewood is provided for sauna and for the woodburning stove in the cabin.

Beach is 100+ feet deep and 200 feet wide--providing ample room for almost any kind of beach activity, including volleyball (volleyball net available). Outdoor burn pit on beach, with surrounding benches. Gather around the fire, cook up s'mores, listen to the waves and wildlife. You'll feel that stress fade away.
