Cabintimers, this one is special. The Sunset House sets you right on Lake Superior’s Great Sand Bay with a walk-out sand beach and nightly bonfire vibes. Two standouts grab you right away: a huge game room (ping-pong, air hockey, darts, foosball) that keeps the crew smiling after dark, and an upstairs king bedroom with a glass balcony for private stargazing and sunrise coffee. That’s how you start and end days on Superior.

Step onto the sand and you’re a half-mile beach walk from Eagle River. Great Sand Bay sits between Eagle River and Eagle Harbor on scenic M-26, famous for soft dunes, offshore sandbars, and those long lavender sunsets that make you pause mid-conversation. It’s a front-row seat to ships, night skies, and—if you’re lucky—the Northern Lights.

Inside, the kitchen is road-trip smart: two refrigerator/freezers so you can stock once for the week, plus dishwasher, stove/oven, microwave, coffee maker, and the works. Eat at the deck’s picnic table or grill out—gas and charcoal are waiting. The living room has Lazy Boy rockers, and there’s fast Wi-Fi; Verizon service is noted to be strong. Part of the home’s power even comes from solar. Movie night? Queue up the entertainment room with a 60″ TV and a library of discs.

Sleep space is generous for multigenerational getaways. The home sleeps 10 with five bedrooms and two baths, including three king beds. Add a full-size Lazy Boy sleeper and a full sofa sleeper for flexible arrangements. Weekly rentals only—Friday to Friday—from May through November; no pets. Minimum renter age is 30. Check-in 4 p.m.; check-out 11 a.m. (Pro tip: booking direct here saves you serious money compared to third-party sites.)

Your Keweenaw playbook

When you’re ready to roam, this stretch of the peninsula is loaded with easy day trips:

• Waterfall hop to Eagle River Falls, Jacob’s Falls, Silver River Falls, Haven Falls, and Hungarian Falls. Start right in town at Eagle River Falls—an easy roadside stop with big scenery.
• Copper history lives underground at the Delaware Mine, where self-guided tours take you 100 feet below the surface.
• Scenic drives & dark skies: Cruise the shore on M-26’s “Sand Dune Drive,” then climb Brockway Mountain Drive for sweeping Lake Superior views by day and star shows by night.
• Lighthouses: This coast is lighthouse country—think Copper Harbor Light, Eagle Harbor Light, and more across the Keweenaw.
• Ferry over to Isle Royale (seasonal) from Copper Harbor on the Isle Royale Queen IV for wilderness trails, moose sightings, and big-lake horizons. National Park Service
• Low-key beach days: The no-fee Gratiot River County Park delivers driftwood, agates, and wild shoreline. Pack in, pack out.
• Ride time: The Keweenaw has 160+ miles of ATV/SxS routes and 200+ miles of snowmobile trails when you return in winter. Rentals and maps are local.
• Eat & sip: Grab thimbleberry jam and baked goods at The Jampot near Jacob’s Falls, then settle in lakeside for barbecue and a deep whisky list at Fitzgerald’s in Eagle River.

Good to know

Linens and towels are provided. There’s a washer/dryer with detergent, a landline, boat/trailer parking, and a level lot for easy beach access—great for kids and multi-generational groups. Weekly stays only, Friday–Friday, May–November. Book directly with owners Mark and Joni Martin for no service fees, no middleman, and local insight you won’t get elsewhere.
