BATHROOMS: 2.5
*3 blocks away you will find the public beach on Lake Superior
*Famous Fitzgerald Steakhouse blocks away
This 1866 farmhouse sits across from the historic county seat buildings of Eagle River, Michigan. You will love this 4 bedroom, 2 ½ bath home which is only a short walk from the Eagle River Falls, the Lake Superior shoreline, and the very popular Fitzgerald's Smokehouse, Restaurant and Bar.
There are so many fun activities to do in the beautiful Keweenaw Peninsula such as: hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing, exploring area beaches, hunting for agates and yooperlite, exploring old copper mines, or just relaxing on the lovely wrap around porch taking in the view!
If you choose to stay with us during the fall months, feel free to grab a couple apples off the trees to create a delicious crisp or apple pie. So put down your phones, grab your gear, and enjoy this very adventurous area of Michigan that will make you feel like you've stepped back in time.
Keep in mind, there are many stairs in the home-- both going up to the 2nd level and down to the street level. This may not be an ideal home for anyone with mobility concerns. We have 4 other cottages in Eagle Harbor with fewer steps.
