About this lodge
Welcome to East Lake Lodge - overlooking the water , the 2 bedroom (total 3 queen beds) 2 bath home is approx. 1350 sf. - Up to 4 guests welcome. This is a NON-SMOKING , NO PET cottage on picturesque Lake Medora, a pristine 680 acre lake, 4 miles from Copper Harbor.
The Cottage was newly constructed in October 2011 on a rock outcropping and former sight of an old fishing camp dating from the early 1960's.
Starlink Wi-Fi new for 2026.
The 1st floor includes full bath, gourmet kitchen / granite island, living room with leather sofas, hardwood and slate flooring with oriental rugs. The 2nd floor includes laundry, half bath, 1 bedroom w/ one queen bed, and 2nd bedroom with two queen beds, hardwood floors, with Oriental Rugs.
The 8 x 16 Sauna building is great for relaxing. The sauna has a wood fired heater with a rock surround that, when hot, can be used to produce steam. Wood is supplied for the sauna.
The Workshop / storage building, visible in the background photos is not part of the rental. This building is used by the owners when they are on the property.
Also for your use are 4 kayaks, a paddle boat and 12' aluminum boat. The aluminum boat is built to accommodate mounting a trolling motor or 10 hp motor (motor not provided). The lake has three islands and miles of natural shoreline to explore.
The siting of the cottage, on a rock ledge that juts out into the lake affords breathtaking and beautiful water views on three sides. Constructed in 2011 on the footprint of the original fishing camp, the cottage is located in the heart of the Keweenaw. As such you can easily make day trips and hikes to all points of interest in the area. Come up and escape the summer heat! It is a relaxing drive up too!
Speaking of hiking - the lake is surrounded by miles of trails that radiate out from the lake in different directions. These can be accessed from lake Medora road, which loops around the East and North sides of the lake and from Washington Mine road which runs along the West area of the lake
Pet owners - I'm sorry, pets not allowed in the cottage
Decor: Decorations include - Taxidermy - bear, coyote, pheasant and other misc. ... Large area wall Maps, copper artifacts, Photographs from the Michigan Tech historical archives..... Oriental rugs throughout the cottage. .....Old lamps and pottery jugs.
Also enjoy Wi-Fi, Dish Network, Flat panel DVD home theater system, BBQ grill, fire pit.
Berry patches are abundant in the area in and around the lake. When in season, usually late July through August, massive quantities of Thimbleberry, Blueberry, and Black raspberry can be picked. I will be happy to let you in on some special spots when you rent!
ATV trails also abound in the area and provide access to beautiful woodlands and senic vistas, so bring them along.
Not for renter use is the workshop structure. It is used by the owner when we are at the site.
Local Attractions: Lake Medora is the 'hub' of the Keweenaw peninsula. The lake has five trail heads which are accessible for hiking, Mt. biking and ATV use.

My sisters and I spent 8 restful days here at this beautiful lake house. Location was perfect, close enough to hiking and all activities we wanted to do. The lake was beautiful and we so appreciated being able to use the owners kayaks at our convenience. Beautiful kitchen, we enjoyed cooking out meals here. Would definitely return!!
