Stunning New Beach House - Big Traverse Bay on Lake Superior

Located on the East side of the Keweenaw Peninsula in beautiful Big Traverse Bay. This property has one of the most beautiful sugar sand beaches in the area. This new custom built two story home with a full basement (built in 2023) has a deep all sand beach. In the summer months enjoy swimming in the warm shallow water of the bay, kayaking, sunbathing, blueberry picking on the property or just relaxing on the beach. (Two paddle boards, a paddle boat, two kayaks, sun umbrellas, and a variety of life jackets are on site for our guests) If you tire of the beach, you can explore the area on ATV’s by getting on the trail system not far from the house. (There is plenty of parking for ATV’s and snowmobile trailers in the homeowner’s parking lot across the street) You can also explore the local area and visit the Keweenaw National Historic Park, Brockway Mountain Drive, Mount Bohemia, Delaware Mine, Douglass Houghton Falls, or Copper Harbor, to name a few of the many local attractions.

In the winter guests can enjoy cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the woods surrounding the property. Snowmobilers can find the groomed snowmobile trail nearby which will take you throughout Keweenaw and Houghton Counties or anywhere in the Upper Peninsula. If downhill skiing is your thing, Mount Bohemia or Mount Ripley are both within a 30 minute drive from the house. You can relax in the evenings in this comfortable and cozy beach house and take in the beauty of winter on the shores of Lake Superior. The home has in-floor heat throughout to keep you toasty warm during the cold winter months. If you’re lucky, you might even catch the northern lights during your stay.

The exterior of the home has large cedar decks on the East, South, and West sides. You can enjoy the sunrises on the extra large front East/lakeside deck and take in the sunsets on the rear West/roadside deck. Both the South and West decks offer a bird’s eye view of the wetlands area which is a bird watcher’s paradise, with frequent sightings of ducks, loons, geese, sand hill cranes, bald eagles and more.

You will enter the home from the main floor roadside entrance. The main floor has a laundry room with a full size washer and dryer and laundry folding table, as well as a large master bedroom and a spare bedroom on either side of the entry hallway. Both of these comfortable bedrooms have great natural lighting, wall mounted TV’s, luxurious bedding, and beautiful views. The master has a large walk-in closet. The main floor bathroom can be accessed through the master bedroom or hallway and is equipped with a handicapped shower. You then enter the great room, kitchen, and dining area. This space has a 22 foot cathedral ceiling with two large ceiling fans. The living room has a comfy sectional sofa, large TV, coffee table with storage (filled with games and puzzles), and a separate reading area with a custom bookcase filled with a variety of books. There is a desk/work station in the great room if you have to work from home. The gourmet kitchen has a large butcher block island which seats four and is great for casual dining or as a food prep area. The kitchen has a gas range, fully vented hood, quartz countertops, farm sink, under cabinet lighting, ample cabinet and storage space, and a walk-in pantry. The kitchen is fully stocked with quality cookware, bakeware, chef’s knives, plates, glasses, silverware, serving platters and bowls and anything else you may need during your stay. The dining area seats six and is beside a coffee and tea bar. You can enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail while listening to the waves and watching the calming waters of Lake Superior.

You will access the loft sleeping area and lounge by using the staircase in the great room. The lounge area at the top of the stairs is the perfect spot to build a puzzle, play a game, or work from home. Bedrooms, loft sleeping area, lounge, and great room all have ethernet jacks. There is also Wifi coverage throughout the entire house. High speed internet connection is provided by Starlink with a 200 Mbps download and a 20 Mbps upload. The sleeping area has two queen beds, a closet and bathroom with a double vanity and handicapped shower. The view from the loft is amazing!

The home was completed in November of 2023 and features all new mattresses, pillows, bedding, towels, window coverings, appliances, cookware, dinnerware, bakeware, glassware, and silverware. The entire home has been tastefully decorated in a nautical/beachy theme by the homeowner. A game room and half bath are now open in the lower/basement level which kids and adults will both enjoy.

A sauna will hopefully be completed by winter 2024/2025!!!

Beautiful home in a beautiful location
House was everything we were looking for in a vacation getaway. House was exactly as it appeared in pictures and in the description. House was clean and well stocked with everything you would need. Location right on Lake Superior was awesome and the large windows overlooking the lake allowed you to enjoy the lake from inside the house. Area was very quiet and peaceful. Our host communicated very well and the entire stay was perfect.

Wonderful Fall Getaway
We enjoyed a few days at this lovely, new lake home right on the shores of Lake Superior. Everything was nicely appointed and the house was very clean. Beds were comfy and kitchen fully stocked. It was peaceful and quiet at the house. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and seeing the amazing sunrises as well as looking for and spotting shooting stars at night. The sky was so clear, it seems as if we saw a million stars. We were in the area to relax and enjoy the fall colors and visit Copper Harbor. We enjoyed driving through all the peaceful winding roads that had such a beautiful canopy of trees over them. We hoped to see the Northern Lights, which we saw in the area years ago, but did not see them during our stay. I believe the day after we left they were visible. The home was very spacious for two people and would easily accommodate a family or small group of friends. The host was wonderful to work with and we highly recommend this beautiful lake home! We would love to return again!

Magnificent fall sunrises
We were extremely pleased with our time at this VRBO. From start to finish, the property owner was in communication to ensure we had our needs met. We were there spending time with our son/grandson from Michigan Tech and it was a perfect fall weekend getaway for all of us! The kitchen was outstanding and everything we needed was provided for onsite! Thank you for such a great experience!

Beautiful and peaceful
The house is right on the shore of Lake Superior, with beautiful views from the deck and from inside the house. Everything thing was clean and updated and comfortable. Beautiful open kitchen/ living room/ dining area. Two bedrooms on main floor, one full bathroom. Loft area has double sink full bathroom and two beds. No complete privacy in loft by beds, but that was not an issue for us. It is a bit of a drive into town on some gravel, but easily doable. We saw northern lights from the deck. Enjoyed the peace and quiet and comfort. No AC, but not an issue for us with the lake breezes coming through. Appreciated the food and sights suggestions. Ann was very good about communication and very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks for sharing!!

UP PARADISE
Our family had the most incredible summer finale on "the ocean" making endless core memories! Cannot say enough about this wonderful property and its hosts - it's the kind of gem you secretly don't want to share with others while also wishing everyone the opportunity to experience it. My sister and I have been adventuring in the UP since we were little, and it was such a joy to bring our children and spouses up for a full week of fun in the sun. The weather was perfect and the one night that a storm rolled in, we had front row tickets to the most impressive lightning over the water we'd ever seen. We hiked the nearby Hungarian Falls one day (kid-friendly), but otherwise stayed onsite for endless play and relaxation on the beach, enjoying the many water toys provided, including kayaks, paddle boards, and lily pad. The property itself has everything you need and more, with plenty of space, fully equipped kitchen, quality linens and furnishings, many thoughtful extras, and a "lake life" vibe that immediately invites you to embrace vacay mode. Ann and Roger are fabulous, attentive hosts who genuinely want to ensure you have the best stay. A huge thank you to them for the beautiful experience they've curated. We are already dreaming of our return next summer!!

We loved everything about the Beach House on Big Traverse Bay. The house and view are stunning ..most memorable are the sunrises and moonrises over the water! The house was very clean and well-furnished, and Ann was a very kind and thoughtful host. Being right on the water is such a treat. We loved hearing the waves, kayaking, and exploring nearby trails; as well as visiting all of our favorite places in the Keweenaw, all within an hour’s drive. We had a great week and would definitely stay here again!

Best of the best!
Let me first say that the owner(s) are awesome. The communication prior, during, and after the stay were perfect. As we walked through the front door we were greeted by the amazing view of Lake Superior that can be seen through the floor to ceiling windows in the main living area. Just outside is a wrap around deck that encompasses 3/4ths of the home. The deck is a perfect area to grill and unwind after a fun filled day on the water. Our party included 3 children. Being that the deck is only 50 yards or so from the water, it was perfect place to relax while the children played. He kitchen is very well stocked and is open. The bedrooms are comfortable with a beach theme throughout the house. The lowest level houses a game room. My daughter loves the pool and fooseball tables. All in all the stay was everything we hoped. We arrived during the hottest time of the year and were a bit concerned as the home does not have AC, but our concerns faded as the windows and onshore breeze kept the house cool and comfortable. I hope to return. This property is a gem and we were blessed to spend a few days there. One final more, we were able to see the aurora during our stay. If you are a night sky watcher, check this place out. Thank you for a wonderful and relaxing stay.

Unforgettable Stay at Ann's Lakefront Paradise: A Family's Journey from Argentina
Staying at Ann's house was an incredible experience for our family from Argentina, who relocated to North America three years ago and have been in Wisconsin for the past year. It was the first visit from my parents and niece since we moved, and being together in that paradise was truly unforgettable. Everything was flawless, starting with Ann, who was the most incredible host! The house was pure luxury and incredibly comfortable, equipped with everything needed for enjoying various water activities. The view of the lake was so breathtaking that it felt surreal to experience it firsthand. Witnessing a couple of stunning sunrises was particularly emotional for us.

Beautiful relaxation!
This house is truly a gem! The house was immaculately clean and very well appointed. The kitchen is stocked with just about anything you need for cooking meals, which we did. The rooms are spacious and beds are very comfortable. The beach and lake front are fantastic, perfect for relaxing on the soft sand or playing in the water with the provided boats and paddle boards. We greatly enjoyed a campfire each night with the provided firewood. Ann's communication was very prompt. We would definitely recommend this property and stay again if we have the opportunity.

My family enjoyed playing in the sand, relaxing on the deck, playing games, eating breakfast in the gorgeous kitchen… every minute felt like a treat. I went for an early morning kayak ride that I’ll never forget. Ann has truly created an amazing getaway here.

Beautiful location on the lake
My family needed a place near Houghton for my nephew's graduation from Michigan Tech. This lake house checked all the boxes: spacious, comfortable, on the water, and a reasonable drive to the university. Ann's attention to detail and eye for beautiful decor were the icing on the cake! The space was absolutely stunning. We spent a lot of time indoors because it rained the entire weekend. The kitchen was fully equipped for staying in to eat. There were books, games and toys. Although it was freezing and raining, the kids still decided to go for a swim! We definitely made some great memories and look forward to booking another stay here!
