Property Description
Located on the East side of the Keweenaw Peninsula in beautiful Big Traverse Bay. This property has one of the most beautiful sugar sand beaches in the area. Lake Superior is just steps away from the front deck. This new custom built two story home with a full basement (built in 2023) has a deep all sand beach. In the summer months enjoy swimming in the warm shallow water of the bay, kayaking, sunbathing, blueberry picking on the property or just relaxing on the beach. (Two paddle boards, a paddle boat, two kayaks, sun umbrellas, and a variety of life jackets are on site for our guests) If you tire of the beach, you can explore the area on ATV’s by getting on the trail system not far from the house. (There is plenty of parking for ATV’s and snowmobile trailers in the homeowner’s parking lot across the street) You can also explore the local area and visit the Keweenaw National Historic Park, Brockway Mountain Drive, Mount Bohemia, Delaware Mine, Douglass Houghton Falls, or Copper Harbor, to name a few of the many local attractions.
In the winter guests can enjoy cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the woods surrounding the property. Snowmobilers can find the groomed snowmobile trail nearby which will take you throughout Keweenaw and Houghton Counties or anywhere in the Upper Peninsula. If downhill skiing is your thing, Mount Bohemia or Mount Ripley are both within a 30 minute drive from the house. You can relax in the evenings in this comfortable and cozy beach house and take in the beauty of winter on the shores of Lake Superior. The home has in-floor heat throughout to keep you toasty warm during the cold winter months. If you’re lucky, you might even catch the northern lights during your stay.
The exterior of the home has large cedar decks on the East, South, and West sides. You can enjoy the sunrises on the extra large front East/lakeside deck and take in the sunsets on the rear West/roadside deck. Both the South and West decks offer a bird’s eye view of the wetlands area which is a bird watcher’s paradise, with frequent sightings of ducks, loons, geese, sand hill cranes, bald eagles and more.
You will enter the home from the main floor roadside entrance. The main floor has a laundry room with a full size washer and dryer and laundry folding table, as well as a large master bedroom and a spare bedroom on either side of the entry hallway. Both of these comfortable bedrooms have great natural lighting, wall mounted TV’s, luxurious bedding, and beautiful views. The master has a large walk-in closet. The main floor bathroom can be accessed through the master bedroom or hallway and is equipped with a handicapped shower. You then enter the great room, kitchen, and dining area. This space has a 22 foot cathedral ceiling with two large ceiling fans. The living room has a comfy sectional sofa, large TV, coffee table with storage (filled with games and puzzles), and a separate reading area with a custom bookcase filled with a variety of books. There is a desk/work station in the great room if you have to work from home. The gourmet kitchen has a large butcher block island which seats four and is great for casual dining or as a food prep area. The kitchen has a gas range, fully vented hood, quartz countertops, farm sink, under cabinet lighting, ample cabinet and storage space, and a walk-in pantry. The kitchen is fully stocked with quality cookware, bakeware, chef’s knives, plates, glasses, silverware, serving platters and bowls and anything else you may need during your stay. The dining area seats six and is beside a coffee and tea bar. You can enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail while listening to the waves and watching the calming waters of Lake Superior.
You will access the loft sleeping area and lounge by using the staircase in the great room. The lounge area at the top of the stairs is the perfect spot to build a puzzle, play a game, or work from home. Bedrooms, loft sleeping area, lounge, and great room all have ethernet jacks. There is also Wifi coverage throughout the entire house. High speed internet connection is provided by Starlink with a 200 Mbps download and a 20 Mbps upload. The sleeping area has two queen beds, a closet and bathroom with a double vanity and handicapped shower. The view from the loft is amazing!
The home was completed in November of 2023 and features all new mattresses, pillows, bedding, towels, window coverings, appliances, cookware, dinnerware, bakeware, glassware, and silverware. The entire home has been tastefully decorated in a nautical/beachy theme by the homeowner. A game room and half bath are now open in the lower/basement level which kids and adults will both enjoy. 6/25 We added an outdoor solar heated shower right off of the lakeside deck. You can wash off the sand before entering the house. 7/4/25 Sauna with shower and attached bathroom. You can enjoy a hot relaxing sauna before jumping into Lake Superior !

Excellent location! We are in love with the beautiful singing sand. It seriously is the Waikiki of the UP! The house is top notch. Our host checked in to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. We swam, kayaked, fished, saunaed and jumped in the lake! It was a blast and we can’t wait to do it again! Truly a 5 star experience.

Perfection
Great place to sit back, relax and enjoy the views! No need to leave with an amazing beach like this home offers. Although we had nothing but great weather, the house has plenty to offer if you’re stuck inside. Thanks for sharing such a perfect piece of paradise with myself and my family. Cannot wait for next year’s visit!!!!

Best Rental on Big Traverse Bay
We've stayed at two vacation rentals on Big Traverse Bay since 2019. Not only is this venue the best, but it has all the amenities and couple who host the property are a joy. This is the first time in four years we've had internet, and it really made a difference for our family get away (especially when it rained steadily for two days). My only hesitation in recommending a stay to everyone--if I'm being selfish--is availability for future visits. ;-) Thank you, Ann!

Wonderful house on Big Traverse Bay
This house had everything we needed and more on Big Traverse Bay in the Keweenaw. Beautiful views and a quiet place to relax after a day of hiking and adventures up in the Keweenaw. I highly recommend.

Perfect family getaway!
This was our first time exploring Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and we could not have been happier with the house. Everything was as advertised, and Ann was a wonderful host. Our kids loved the sand beach and calm shallow bay for playing in the water. Beds are comfortable, kitchen is well-stocked, and the basement game room is great for nighttime or rainy day entertainment. We also had a blast enjoying the towns of the Keweenaw Peninsula and fishing with local guides. If our travels ever bring us back to the UP, this is where we would hope to stay again!

Beach trip
This property was beautiful and had everything we needed to have a fun beach trip weekend! Ann was responsive when I first arrived and did not have the access code to get in!

Family Vacation
We have been traveling for years for family vacations & this is the best property we have rented on VRBO! Ann is great with communication and such a kind soul! Everything about the home made us not want to leave with the amazing lakeside views and the relaxing cozy spot for a fire to the beautiful details that were put into this home. Coming from the construction industry, this is the type of home we love to see! Unique in every way. The paddle boat was awesome, we all loved going for rides along the shore and playing in the sand everyday. We were able to make home cooked meals every day in the huge kitchen. Everything we needed and more was right there. We can't wait to come back again!
