About this house rental
Located on Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula, This cottage is only 400 feet from the mouth of the Tobacco River and located on 230' of Lake Superior lakeshore. Approximately 15 miles from Lake Linden and Calumet. The nearest village is Gay. The views, breezes and waves are simply fantastic.
This property has a spectacular view of the Lake from all the main living areas and bedrooms. The multi-level deck allows you to enjoy the summer breezes or the fall colors with family and friends.
The Lower level has laundry area, and a bunkroom Sauna and Pool table.
Upper level features beautiful red maple and cherry hardwood vaulted ceiling and open design from kitchen, dining and living room for great views of the lake and easy conversation. Master bedroom features a king bed and 180 degree view of the lake. Bathroom is a full bath including bathtub and shower.
Property is slightly elevated from the lake enhancing the lake view, but requires a few steps down to the Lake.
The Tobacco River is about 400 feet away. Old restored pier 500 feet the other way brings back memories of old copper mining days gone by.
If you revel in ATV, UTV or snowmobiling riding this place is a perfect launching point for exploring the Keweenaw. We are positioned across the street is from a major trail head. There is plenty of room for parking trailers and toy haulers. Trail 133 comes to the road for easy ride in and out access.
We have one Ring security camera between the overhead and the man door. It has audio and microphone capabilities. The main reason for it we find it necessary is to help guests with any issues in getting into to the cabin. The second reason is for snow removal during the winter months. There is a drastically different snow accumulation from one area of the Keweenaw to another.

Property is an older home that has been nicley redone and is nice but the basement had multiple double bunk beds making it a bit uncomfortable for couples.... Manager was great at communication and view was good as well.

We had a great stay at the lake house, and get it was even better than the listing pictures had to show. Misty and Jason were great communicators and the check-in process was a breeze. The views were fantastic, the place was clean, and the proximity to all things Keweenaw are 5/5. We loved having access to the sauna and the lake views. We would love to come up and stay here again.
6.0 / 10.0
The Good:
*communication with hosts (they were responsive and offered recommendations for local places to eat)
*view overlooking Lake Superior
*deck w/firepit (we spent a couple of hours out there)
*upper level king sized bedroom (comfortable for our parents)
Concerns:
*lower level bedroom (The listing states that the house can accommodate 14 - that would be with two people in each of the triple level bunks. Although we saw pictures on the listing, we did not anticipate how tight those beds were, roughly 18" clearance. We slept in separate beds and they still felt a little claustrophobic. That may not be an issue for some, but we did not sleep well.)
*strong musty odor like a wet dog on the lower level
*stairs to get to main living space - I do not remember reading this on the listing. But, it could be a problem for some with mobility issues.

Beautiful area. House had the most amazing view of the lake. Hosts very helpful with quick responses to questions.

Modern appliances, plenty of hot water, comfortable bed, quiet. Be aware: bring your own dishcloth, dish towel, kleenex, shampoo, conditioner and other toiletries, extra toilet paper. Leave time at the end of your stay for multiple checkout tasks. Kayaks available but no lifejackets; "water access" would be more accurate than "beach;" we had a nice paddle in Keweenaw Bay with borrowed lifejackets.

Wow, what an amazing view—we loved relaxing on the deck and listening to the waves! And if it’s rainy (as it was one of the days) the unit has large windows facing the lake, so the living room is still bright and pleasing! The furniture is comfortable and well-furnished for guests, and the yard large enough so that our Aussie had fun chasing his ball! A wonderful stay.

The view is absolutely amazing. The flow of the inside allows you to take in every detail of the amazing property. We will be back.

What a treat this was for a mini girls trip for our friend who is having her first baby soon. Very pleasant accomodations, lots of games, and breathtaking views of lake superior. Will be back when the baby comes! Thanks to the great hosts!

We were there for a weekend getaway. The home was really gorgeous. The Lake Superior views from the bedroom and the living room were amazing. We were hoping to catch northern lights, which were a miss, but the home and views made up for that.
Jason and Misty were really gracious hosts. They left us detailed instructions and recommendations to make our stay comfortable.
If you have folks like mine who cannot stay of internet, then look no further. The connection is amazing, fast and reliable.
Overall great place to stay and have fun..

Great place for a bunch of buds going to Bohemia. The bunk room is a bit different but we had a blast. It was a nice easy ride back and forth from Mt. Bohemia.

Our Christmas getaway to the lakeshore in Gay was serene and comfortable. We only stayed overnight, but wished we could stay longer. The kitchen was wonderfully equipped. Living room furniture was comfortable for lake viewing through gorgeous picture windows. We would definitely go back to try the kayaks and just enjoy the beautiful setting.

My family and i stayed here early November for a relaxing getaway. We really enjoyed the house. The lake was right in our backyard and was located in a good location to explore surrounding areas. We really appreciated the hosts suggestions on places to eat and things to do. The pasties from Louie's fresh market were amazing! We definitely recommend and hope to stay again!

Our stay was wonderful. The view is spectacular. The evenings on the deck with the fireplace glowing, the night air and the sounds of the water is magical. The house is clean and provides everything you need. The owners are very accommodating.

Place was nice with all the accommodations you would need while on vacation. The kitchen had pots and pans, plates, and the refrigerator/freezer had lots of room. Super comfy king sized bed and nice patio area to take in the views of the lake during the day and to stargaze at night!

We enjoyed our stay. The place was clean, the bed was comfortable, and we really enjoyed using the sauna at the end of long days exploring the area. I liked being in Gay, I felt close to both Copper Harbor and Calumet. I appreciated how quick the hosts responded when I reached out. I would stay here again.

My family had the pleasure of staying in this great location. Upon arriving we were enchanted with that gorgeous view of Lake Superior. Our dog loved really enjoyed running around the back yard. After our 10 hour drive, the gas fire on the deck was very relaxing way to spend our evening. The house is located very close to a nice park and small waterfall where the Tobacco River meets Lake Superior. We enjoyed our morning walks in this area with our dog. It was a serene way to start our day.
The location is perfect for exploring all of the Keweenaw Peninsula. We appreciated all of the great communication from the owners providing timely check in and check out instructions.
We would like to thank Jason and Misty for sharing their place. My family created many wonderful memories here and we look forward to returning in the future.

Our family of 4 really enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean, comfy beds and the view of Lake Superior is amazing! We enjoyed every night out on the deck with a fire. Bob Kauppi next door at the Dockside Campground was really nice, we enjoyed talking with him and visiting his fishing port each night. The people of Gay are great all around. The location was great, we visited Copper Harbor many days and went as far south as Misery Bay. My only complaint is you need bigger coffee cups, there is only one!!! Jason and Misty were super fast in answering any questions. Thank you again for sharing your special place with our family and golden retriever. ❤️

Great to place to use for skiing at Mt Bohemia. Very clean house and great setup for a weekend with friends. Sauna works great! The driveway was plowed before we woke up every morning.

A big group of us stayed here and we absolutely loved the location. We were able to Ski Mt. Bohemia and go into Houghton. The Gay Bar was right down the road which made a night close to home easy. The views of Lake Superior and amenities were thoroughly enjoyed (sauna and fire pit). It was a little bit small for our group but it worked out. Awesome place to stay and I would recommend this listing to anyone!

This was a perfect house for our Christmas stay in Gay, if you want a quiet place with a beautiful lake view then this is the place.
House was clean and very nice .
Just a small inconvenience , in winter the second bathroom gets very cold as it’s in ground floor and is pretty much unusable.

Great view of the water from the top floor windows and loved the sauna! Woke up and watched the waves roll in while we drank our morning coffee each day. Can’t beat that!

We needed accommodations quickly after our original plan fell through. I feel so lucky to have found this cabin! After staying one night we wished we didn’t have another place to get to.
The property was clean, well stocked with essentials, spacious and right on the lake!
