Cabintimers, if you’ve been craving the kind of Lake Superior Cabin getaway where you can watch the sky change colors without ever leaving the deck, Horizon Point Cottage in Allouez is calling your name. The first thing people talk about here is the view. The second is the new sauna. Add a private sand beach and those wide-open Superior sunsets, and you’ve got a place that makes you slow down in the best way.
Horizon Point Cottage sits right on Lake Superior, and it feels like you’ve got front-row seats to the big lake’s daily show. Some evenings the water is calm and glassy. Other nights the waves roll in loud enough to be your bedtime soundtrack. You might spot freighters sliding by on the horizon. You’ll definitely catch stars on clear nights, and if the timing is right, northern lights can put on a surprise performance.
Inside, this is a comfortable lake home made for real cabin-life living. There are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, so everyone has room to spread out. The main level includes a king bed in the master, plus another bedroom with two twin beds. Downstairs, the finished lower level adds a third bedroom with a twin and a full bed, plus a new full bath and that sauna Cabintimers keep bragging about. It’s a pretty great routine after a windy beach walk or a day spent chasing waterfalls.
The great room is where the lake steals the spotlight. Big views, comfy seating, and a gas fireplace that makes chilly Superior nights feel extra cozy. Bring a stack of sweatshirts and you’ll be set. The kitchen is fully equipped for cabin cooking, and it’s the kind of setup that makes breakfast feel easy before you head out exploring. There’s also a full-length deck with patio furniture, a picnic table, and a gas grill, so dinner can happen outside while the sun drops into the lake.
One thing to know, and some Cabintimers absolutely love this: there’s no Wi-Fi here. Horizon Point Cottage is built for an actual unplugged vacation. You’ve still got plenty to do when the sun goes down. There’s a TV with DVD/VCR, a movie library for kids and grown-ups, plus puzzles and games for those “one more round” nights at the table. There’s also a landline and a weather radio, which is a smart touch on Superior.
Now let’s talk beach time, because this shoreline is a big part of what makes this place stick with you. You can walk the edge of the water, hunt for cool stones, skip rocks, and take a swim when the weather plays nice. Lake Superior keeps you honest, even in summer, so a quick dip can turn into a whole lot of laughing. If you’ve got kids along, this is the kind of place where they stay busy without being told to.
Allouez puts you right in the Copper Country, which means your day trips can be as laid-back or as adventure-packed as you want. Take one of the scenic drives locals never get tired of. Cruise stretches like M-26 and the back roads that wind through forest and shoreline. Stop whenever something catches your eye, because that’s how the Keweenaw works. Waterfalls are another must. Eagle River Falls, Jacob’s Falls, Montreal Falls, and Hungarian Falls are all classic UP stops, and each one feels like its own little reward.
If you’re the “history first, hike later” type, the Keweenaw delivers. Mine tours and museums tell the story of how this place was built, and it’s more interesting than most people expect. Cabintimers also like pairing a sightseeing day with a good meal. Eagle River is a favorite stop for dinner right near the water. Copper Harbor is the kind of town that makes you want to linger. Grab something sweet, browse a shop or two, then head back to the cottage in time for sunset.
And then there are the simple cabin moments that end up being the ones you remember most. Coffee on the deck while the lake is still waking up. A beach fire later in the day with everyone telling stories. Sauna time followed by stepping outside into that crisp Superior air. Falling asleep to waves. Waking up and doing it all again.
This is also the kind of place where booking direct just makes sense. When you book straight with the owner or local manager, you skip service fees, you skip the middleman, and you get real local insight. That means better answers, better recommendations, and a smoother stay. Cabintimers, that’s the whole point of doing cabin life the smart way.
