About this cottage rental
This historic log cottage on the banks of Lake Superior was originally built in the first part of the 1900’s as one of the early fishing camps of Shelter Bay. Over the years there have been numerous modern improvements, but much of the rustic charm, such as the large stone fireplace and the low ceilings and exposed rafters of the second story, remain…and the character does too. The shoreline is stones and boulders which make for lots of action and adds to the aesthetics that come from the sound of lapping waves. The site is wooded, peaceful, and private. This classic, up-north cabin has a main level with an eat-in kitchen, a spacious living room with the fireplace, an additional dining area, a ¾ bath with a low-threshold shower, and The Lake Room with two full sized futons, offering an amazing view of Lake Superior and Au Train Island. There are literally windows and views everywhere! Upstairs, facing the lake, there are two quaint bedrooms with queen sized beds and, toward the rear, an additional sleeping area with two single beds. If you’re keeping track, the place sleeps up to 10 people. Shelter Bay is conveniently located less than 30 minutes from Marquette or Munising. The cottage is situated close to the snowmobile trails and the circular drive allows for parking the truck and trailer combo for hauling your machines. Park and ride right from the cabin. High speed internet and Wi-Fi is available! This is your opportunity to experience part of history in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Arrangements for pets are available.
What’s nearby? Deer Lake is an all sports lake, has a public boat ramp and is just down the road. The Brownstone Inn is a great place to eat and is 3 miles away. The public boat ramp to Lake Superior is less than 3 miles from the cottage. Au Train is only 7 miles away and offers food, party supplies, gas, and canoeing on the Au Train River. Au Train Lake is another all sports lake in the area with a public launch site. Grand Island National Recreation Area and Pictured Rocks are close-by.

Great place! So warm and cozy...and those views! Like the other reviews said the upstairs is hard to manuever but it was worth it to wake up to that view. It adds to the charm. Lovely property and location. Clean and welcoming. We didn't need contact with the hosts during the stay but they were great to deal with while booking. Will definitely go back!

House was clean. Kitchen well setup with pans plates etc…. stairs to get to bedrooms were too tight to deal with so we slept on futons on main floor. No big deal worked great. Slept literally right next to Lake Superior.

6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2022
The view is stunning! Accessing the water is not possible over the large boulders which was a bummer. The foundation of the property, except the porch, is unsteady and we were fearful that we would fall through the floor in the living room, kitchen and shower. Getting upstairs is nearly impossible as others have said. We decided to stay on the porch the entire time. It ended up feeling like glamping which we enjoyed. Towels were no where to be found but we finally unearthed two. No towel for in front of the tub. I'm sure that the host would have been responsive had we asked for more towels. The host was great to work with. This property could easily be 5 star if the foundation/floors were fixed. Despite this, we would consider returning because the location is spectacular.
