Activities & Local Attractions:
ā€¢ Copper Harbor: At the very tip of the Keweenaw peninsula. Very scenic & picturesque. Checkout Fort Wilkins Historic State Park while you are there
ā€¢ A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum: (https://museum.mtu.edu/) Great minerals & exhibits
ā€¢ Quincy Mine Tour: This is a really great guided tour of the Quincy mine. Go into a mine that was active & producing copper during the Civil War. Very impressive!
ā€¢ Delaware Copper Mine Tours: Self-guided tour of the Delaware mine. Lots of stairs & less polished than the Quincy mine, but still awesome to go underground & see the life of a miner.
ā€¢ Calumet Waterworks Park: Great beach park with great west views. Has both rocks & sand, so there is something for everyone. Look for agates, yooperlites, & fossils.
ā€¢ 5 Mile Point Road: Beautiful drive along the west shore of the Keweenaw Peninsula. Stop at Eagle Harbor & the Jam Lady & The Jampot bakery. Careful of the fruitcakeā€¦it is boozy!
ā€¢ Brockway Mountain: Beautiful vistas from the highest point in the Keweenaw. Great for Fall colors.
ā€¢ Isle Royal: Take a ferry or seaplane from downtown Houghton or Copper Harbor to Isle Royal. This is not a quick day trip as the shortest ferry trip is 3.5h long. The island is very remote & rural but has great hikes & camping.

Amazing place!
The house is absolutely immaculate and the location is amazing! Just a short 15 minute drive from Houghton, the house is away from town but close enough to take a short ride in for some entertainment. We brought our two dogs along with us and we all enjoyed walking/running on the beach and splashing in the water. The beach is beautiful and very swim friendly. The house has all the amenities and lots of space! We enjoyed the house and the beach and definitely plan on coming back!

Awesome property
This is a fantastic VRBO property. The access and views of the beach and Lake Superior is stunning and relaxing. We spent 3 days with family and enjoyed making dinners, sitting on the patio with the chiminea and taking walks on the beach. Great hosts and fantastic amenities. Everything in the description is accurate. Will be back!!

First timers on the west side
Property was beautiful. Nice location to see the Keewenaw as well as Lake of the clouds area. Stamp Sand beachā€¦ thatā€™s a new thing for us. Would have been nice to have some history of that but it was easy to research. Thanks for having coffee pods there. Saved us a trip to town. Beautiful sunset.

It is a beautiful property and the views are amazing. A few dust bunnies under the table and bed but everything else was very clean. I would totally stay here again.

Quiet and Relaxation on Lake Superior
This house was perfect for our family (6 adults - my wife and I and our 2 children and their spouses). It is remote enough for quiet and relaxation, yet close enough to Houghton and many great attractions in the Keweenaw The views of Lake Superior are stunning, especially at sunset. Spacious, well-furnished, comfortable, and delightful are suitable adjectives to describe the Superior Retreat.
