1932 Charming Cottage at the Lake

ATV or snowmobile from the driveway to trails 4 blocks away. LOCATION! LOCATION! Street dead ends in front of the house and becomes short pathway to one of the largest sandy beaches of Lake Superior. 1932 cottage has been restored and renovated including 28 new blinds and a newly carpeted upstairs 400 sq ft open living and sleeping area with new bathroom overlooking the habitat of trees that separate the house from the big Lake. The 1932 hardwood maple floors have been restored on main floor and bathroom has been renovated but original tub with shower remains. Adjacent bedroom has sliding glass doors to a small patio overlooking the side yard firepit and peekaboo lake views. The front porch with 12 windows and front door separate entrance can be used as the 3rd bedroom. Relax on the down filled sofa and pull out memory foam queen mattress and have breakfast on the 4 top table with the morning sun. Everyone's favorite room in the house. Dining room table comfortably seats 8 and plenty of dishware in china cabinets. Enjoy the large new rear deck and step down and build a fire in the side yard firepit while you barbeque or make a fire on the beach while watching the sunset. Stay up late and you may see the Northern Lights. 125 foot driveway that ends at alley for alternate exit, plenty of room to park cars, trucks, ATVs and snowmobiles, direct access to trails from the house. Walk on the beach or drive to Township Park one mile away. Take a 5 minute stroll to Main Street (River Street) and stop at famous Syl's cafe, Krist gas station/minimart, shops, Stubbs Museum bar, etc. Ontonagon River is 4 blocks away where you can fish, kayak, rent a pontoon or boat. Waterfalls are nearby and the largest state park the Porcupine Mountains including the Lake of the Clouds where fall colors are spectacular is a 25 minute drive. Lake of the Clouds was featured on September 24, 2022 when USA Today announced the Upper Peninsula of Michigan as the 2022 1st Best Destination for Fall Foliage in the US. In the winter, take advantage of lake effect snowfall. Why trailer your snowmobile when you can sled to the trails from a 125' driveway. Location! Location! Ski the Porkies 20 minutes away.

Absolutely delightful home. Ideally situated just steps from a gorgeous beach and perfectly appointed with all the necessities. In truth, though, we spent most of our time on the nice deck and around the backyard firepit. And of course Lake Superior and the spectacular sunsets!

The property was amazingly well-stocked with necessities and kitchen ware, pantry supplies, beach accessories. The location was in close proximity to town and easily accessible to Lake Superior beach walks. The owner was easy to contact with questions. It met our needs very well.

What a comfortable and lovely cottage! Reminded us of our 100-year old family cottage in Wisconsin--and just as satisfying, as was our long beach walks. Thanks for the hospitality!
