DRAGONFLY COTTAGE

BEDROOMS: 4
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.

Summary: When I retired in April 2024, one of my bucket list items was to see the Northern Lights.. and Dragonfly Cottage delivered with that item and many more delights. We three elderly ladies felt very safe and comfortable and had no trouble finding fun things to do in Eagle River, Eagle Harbor, and Copper Harbor. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Summary: The house was big and had a lot to offer. The first thing we encountered when entering the kitchen was mouse poop all over the counters and in drawers where silverware and dish towels were housed. We understand a house this old usually has mice come in, especially in the fall. The current owners should have reviewed the property before offering it as a rental and sealed up the many visible access points at the top of the basement stairs and probably under the stove and sink. The second thing we noticed upon arrival as there was no hot water. My husband and son did everything the rental management told us to do and eventually we were told there was a re-set switch at the bottom of the water heater. This helped, but we had to re-set it twice a day and wait for the water to heat up in the tank. We had to strategically plan our showers, cooking and dish washing around it if we wanted hot water. This was very annoying. We rented this house because we have numerous food allergies and other special needs that required us to prepare, cook and wash dishes from 3 meals a day! Can you imagine doing this with hit or miss hot water??? Plus, we stacked all our food in packaging or ziplock bags on the nice, large island, so we could have it as an accessible pantry. To our surprise we woke up on our first morning to find holes in the ziplocks where the mice had a midnight snack!!! After that we had to store everything in our big plastic totes and cooler! There is more...........

Summary: It was perfect. The large suite on the main floor was big enough for my daughter, son-in-law and their three young children to sleep. We loved the kitchen too. There was only one negative that we all agreed on. The "sofa" in the front room is very uncomfortable. It was a very happy return to the Keweenaw for all of us.

Summary: Dropped our son off at Michigan Tech and decided to stay here rather than at a hotel for our family of 5. Its a beautiful old building that is very well maintained and very clean. The host was responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. Highly recommended.

Summary: Was a great location and lots of space for spreading out. Beautiful house. Great communication when refrigerator was out... but didn't make for the best stay without.

Summary: A bit of a challenge for the two year old to “not touch” things, but plenty of books for us to read to him and games for the adults. Lots of places near by. Had a wedding dinner at Fitzgeralds, which was fabulous. Great location. Would recommend to others and probably come back when I visit my daughtet

Summary: Very nice and my grandkids loved it very much. I'm 58 with some stability issues and the steps going upstairs were way to much for me. Overall the place was very nice

Summary: The Dragonfly Cottage was everything we needed for a great family weekend. The cottage is beautiful! It had all the amenities we needed. It was close to a playground and walking distance to the lake. The sunsets are amazing. The space is large and accommodated us with extended family.
