A great-room designed, private cottage including one bedroom with a queen bed, a open living area, loft bedroom, brand new - fully equipped kitchen, walk-in-close/bathroom, and covered front porch with fantastic views. This cottage is ideal for a family with children that can safely climb a ladder - kids love the loft! No pets please.

The other reviews are accurate. Clean, well-appointed, convenient, spacious, and comfortable. Rodney responds immediately and is very helpful. Would definitely stay here again. FYI the switch for the counter/sink lights are on the back of the island…took us awhile to find them! That is not a complaint, just a tip. You will love this place.

The cabin was perfect, from the well appointed kitchen to the stunning view of Eagle Harbor from the front windows. Great location for hikes and just a short drive to Copper Harbor. Super relaxing and cozy, absolutely loved it.

A Quiet, Relaxing Place
This was my second stay at this cottage; I love Eagle Harbor! Plenty of space, *awesome* kitchen, and natural light / fresh air from lots of windows. The heated floors were really nice for the colder evenings.
Internet was slightly less stable than last year, but very functional overall. I was able to use WiFi calling for cellular needs, and HD video streaming was available most of the time.
Also, Rodney is wonderful to work with if you have any issues at all. He responds very quickly and is friendly and easy to talk to.
Highly recommended!

Delightful kittle cabin
This cabin is a cute little property we stumbled upon in our search for a little family getaway. The location is perfect for exploring different parts of the Keweenaw. From photos/memorabilia it appears its been in the family a long time and tastefully update over the years. We will definitely stay here again if its available for future trips.

Another Wonderful Trip
Great location, fabulous property...what more could you ask for? I have never been to Eagle Harbor so early in the year and I was pleasantly surprised by the attitudes of the local deer who made us feel like they were the rightful citizens of the village and we humans were just the insignificant intruders. Lol. But honestly, it was a great experience. Cabin is well-stocked with essentials, just BYOF (food). It was nice that the Eagle Harbor Inn was operational while we were there this time around. We normally get provisions in Houghton/Hancock or at the local Pat's in Calumet, but the second night there neither of us felt like cooking so the Inn was what we decided on. The pizza there was something to write home about (I am partial to the Lobster Pizza...YUM). The House on the Hill is has become somewhat of my "sweet spot" in these past years, and as always, we cannot wait to return.

The cottage has a great kitchen and ample space. Views of harbor and Gichigami are spectacular. The walk to Eagle Harbor Inn for Friday fish was fun too! Thanks Rodney!
