This is a beautiful property! It’s well stocked with all the necessities and more. We enjoyed the deck and the beach the night we arrived and then the rain came unfortunately so we hung out indoors quite a bit. We loved our time there!!

Stunning experience

The lighthouse surpassed all expectations - gorgeous property, excellent location, attentive host. The layout afforded so many views, lounge areas and space to stretch out. The decks and adirondacks were perfect for enjoying the lake view and the blanket of stars at night. Highest recommendations....thank you for allowing us to make excellent memories!

Very relaxing stay. Fun to here foghorn go off every 2 minutes when the Lake Superior was covered with fog. Then the sun comes out and shines on the lake making diamonds on the water. Sunsets were beautiful. The house had everything we needed to have a great time. The flowers in the gardens were so pretty. Seeing majestic eagles flying over every morning.

Absolutely Amazing

The Eagle River Lighthouse is a lovely, comfortable home that is perfect for a relaxing stay on the Keneewaw Peninsula. The property manager, Jan, was very helpful and pleasant. It is beautifully renovated and stocked with everything that you could need to enjoy your stay. We were treated with a loaf of delicious bread, maple syrup, and local coffee. The lighthouse has great views of Lake Superior and is close to several sites like Copper Harbor. There are many eagles nesting nearby and yooperlites to be found. It is walking distance to Fitzgerald’s, a surprisingly good local restaurant. We highly recommend visiting the Eagle River Lighthouse.

The property is beautiful and the attention to detail was amazing! The owner placed fresh flowers throughout the house, did our grocery shopping and delivered it, and provided coffee/cinnamon bread. Our stay could not have been better!!

Beautiful historic lighthouse!

Overall, we were blown away by the entire trip. Jan the property manager was amazing to work with - she responded quickly and was very detailed in her instructions and recommendations for local spots. We brought our snowmobiles and this location is very close to trail 151, plus there was plenty of space for our jeep, trailer, and snowmobile parking.The interior design is beautiful and the front sun room with views of Lake Superior is my favorite part. Absolutely recommend this place to anyone who loves the beauty and history of northern Michigan. We hope to be back!

Unequivocally perfect stay!!

An absolute dream come true for me and my family to stay in an actual lighthouse. The amenities were all top notch and the property manager couldn't have been more accommodating and kind. There were fresh cut flowers in each room and bread, coffee, and maple syrup from local shops left on the table for us when we arrived. The view was amazing to watch freighters go by in the sunroom and it was such a great location to use as a home base to explore the Keweenaw. The copper mines, beaches, museums, lighthouses and waterfalls we visited were all no more than 30 minutes away. We even saw an eagle up close on the river that runs next to the lighthouse. I was looking forward to this vacation for so long and I couldn't have imagined it to be any better or more perfect than it was. Thank you for allowing us to be temporary stewards of this beautiful piece of history and good luck on the current project. I can't wait to see it when it's finished!

Relaxing weekend

The lighthouse and the property were beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. We loved the sun room and the herd of deer that came right up next to the deck to graze. The town seems relatively empty this time of year and many businesses were closed, but we didn’t mind the quiet and had a very relaxing weekend. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely & Quiet UP house

Well-equipped kitchen & comfortable beds in lovely historic home with great views of sunsets on Lake Superior. Very quiet setting in small UP town provides easy access to upper reaches of UP. Helpful books provided by owners assist visitors to plan hikes, activities, and learn about Keweenau Peninsula. Thanks for a great place to stay for our first visit to the Keweenau & UP.

Best place I have ever stayed

The place is immaculate. Even the potted plants are perfect. Not a dead leaf or flower...We used the Master Suite and I loved the shower. The bed was perfect. Bonus gift of breakfast makings. The sun room was so relaxing and cozy. Fire pit was great for the evening. Make sure you bring food as there are no stores anywhere. Wish we didn't live so far away. Would love to return. The lighthouse part was a fun addition too.

A truly beatufil spot

I loved everything about our stay. The property is beautiful and totally as advertised. The interior is premium with so many additional touches added. The fresh flowers, quality soaps, and the little welcome goodies really made it all feel very special. There are no negatives for me. My husband who prefers a "few" more people around felt a bit isolated but if that's what you are looking for then this is a must book. I felt like it was a great location to explore the area. I hope to return one day so I can see the Northern Lights from such a beautiful setting.

Beautiful place!

We splurged on this rental, and it was quite worth the cost. Such a beautifully appointed home. The bright white furniture in each room of the home gave the place an open and airy feel. The kitchen had everything we needed, including cinnamon bread and pure maple syrup for making delicious french toast. We spent time on the shore and enjoyed the short walk to The Fitzgerald for dinner. Our only suggestion would be to upgrade the one small Direct TV in the home to a larger smart TV. Perhaps a second in the bedroom as well.
