About this property

Charming Rustic Cabin Whitefish Bay, Lake Superior View

"This is the kind of hidden gem that you want to keep quiet about, so it's available when you want to go back. I've stayed here twice and am already planning a third trip. The location is awesome and there are lots of nearby beauties to explore. The owner is great and you feel the hospitality in the cabin." Reviews a Repeat Guest 2019, 2020
I couldn't have said it better myself!

Charming rustic cabin just across the street from scenic Whitefish Bay, Lake Superior. Watch freighters passing in-route to Soo Locks. Full public access with beautiful beach. Situated on the Whitefish Bay, Lake Superior Scenic Byway Lakeshore Drive. Updates every year to improve the cabin comfort, recently added Water Softener to improve water condition and cleanliness and new shower stall. One bedroom with full bed, single bed nook, fold down sofa bed and room for cots. Sleeps 4 comfortable, 6 with cots. Campfire pit, hiking, access to inland Monocle Lake, most sightseeing attractions within an hour drive. Wood/cedar interior, wood burning stove, electric baseboard heat, full kitchen, shower stall & bathtub, washer & dryer. No WiFi or cable TV connection in the cabin, for your break away from media saturation. Free WiFi 3 miles east at Dancing Crane Coffee House. DVD TV and VHS TV with movies for rainy days and quiet evenings or just playing a card game around the vintage kitchen table or roasting marshmallows around the campfire pit.

We have a relaxed refund policy for convenience in booking and since we have a four (4) night minimum, when booking, please be mindful to leave a minimum 4 nights between your booking and the previous guest booking. Anything less than 4 nights becomes unbookable for us and a significant loss of revenues.
Less than 4 night bookings are not cost effective turnovers for cleaning and maintenance, therefore we have a 4 night minimum booking standard.

Brimley Getaway Vacation

This was the perfect location for us to use as a base camp for our extended Memorial Day weekend trip. Great beach right across the road and plenty to see and do along Whitefish Bay/Point. Short drives to both the Soo and Paradise as well.

A Step Back In Time

Our second time staying in this adorable cabin, and it did not disappoint. Clean, welcoming and comfortable. Loved taking the short walk across the street to spend quiet time on the beautiful beach, listening to the waves. Kitchen-iti-kipi, golf at Wild Bluff, the casino, and fires at night, also kept us busy.

Rustic Cabin

Rental matched description. Very rustic feel to our stay. Kitchen is well stocked. Cabin is very well supplied with towels, blankets. Great place to unplug from the rest of the world!!! Very close access to a wonderful sandy beach on Lake Superior to either play in the water or watch the freighters enter/exit the Chanel of the Soo Locks

Cozy stay

We had a great experience!The cabin is within reasonable driving distance to many places we wanted to visit. The beach was lovely and the water was much cleaner than the state park. Doreen was very helpful with answering questions we had about the area. She sent a text to be sure we were comfortable and had all we needed after our first night😀

A perfect Lake Superior location!

We flew in from Arizona for our first trip to Michigan. Doreen’s cottage was perfect for day trips to Tahquamenon Falls, Whitefish Point, Crisp Point Lighthouse, Grand Marais, Soo Locks, and Mackinac Island. The Lake Superior sunsets, just a short walk across the street, are breathtaking. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. 😊

Perfect rustic getaway

Doreen was a wonderful, attentive host. The cabin was just as described, but better! We had everything we needed, the furniture was comfortable, and everything functional as expected. The beach across the street is secluded, sandy, easy to get to, and stunning. I highly recommend spending time there. The house was closer to the street than we thought (50 mph) so watch your dogs, keep them leashed, or bring a dog gate with you. This place was a great location to disconnect. We loved our stay.

Cute little cabin.

This was a cute cozy little place right off the shoreline of Lake Superior. When we walked in it immediately gave a sort of Christmas’y vibe from the decor to the scents in the cabin. The cabin was very clean and well stocked for anything you may need for your stay. Doreen text and checked up on us when we arrived, which I thought was a nice touch. It is very well located to be able to explore so many beautiful places in the north woods including shooting into Canada for some daytime exploring. Make sure to gather information off your phone prior to arrival as cell coverage is not great on the entire area. Overall, our stay was absolutely wonderful.

Great U.P. Location

Doreen's cottage was a great location for our day trips around Michigan's eastern upper peninsula. The place was very tidy, and the bed was super comfortable. We did miss having internet there, but Doreen had made it clear the cottage did not offer it. Her description was accurate. (We did enjoy the local coffee shop that let us use their internet when we needed it.) We had a wonderful vacation!

The property is cozy, clean, and very quiet. It’s an excellent location with proximity to local attractions and public beach access directly across the street. Provides a great opportunity to truly get away from the hustle and bustle. We enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Doreen Pavlik

Host profile image
We purchased this property in 2003 as an interim destination until, and while, we built our waterfront dream cabin in 2013 nearby. We loved every minute of our stay in this little rustic cabin. We purchased waterfront in 1994 with the dream of building on it, but until that was possible, we enjoyed this little cabin. We have developed a love for the beauty and rustic feel of the UP. This little cabin has the feel of waterfront, the smell of waterfront, the sound of waterfront, and a partial view like waterfront....but just walk to the west end of the property and cross the street to the public access. It's our joy to offer a stay for your relaxation and break from the media saturated world around you and retreat to a slower pace, with campfires, beach walks, hiking, swimming and many fun filled day trips.

Why they chose this property

This property is a break from the fast pace media saturated world. No in house internet access, but locally available, no cable TV, limited local stations with a VHS video player, totally "old school" complete with a selection of movies and DVD equipped flat screen TV in main seating area. Bring your own DVD movies or watch one of ours supplied. It's our hope that our guests will be so busy enjoying the outdoor beauty, day trips and playing games with family that media won't be necessary except for a nice cup of coffee at the Dancing Crane Coffee Shop to "check up" on your Facebook or emails with their free WiFi access just 3 miles east down Lakeshore Dr. The smell of real firewood burning in the wood stove touches off the rustic ambiance of those cool UP evenings or a campfire with marshmallows roasting or hot dogs lightly charred!

What makes this property unique

Watching freighters passing on their way through to the Soo Locks and on to the St.Lawrence Seaway. Breathtaking sunsets and beautiful "public" beach that only the locals know about right across the street, long walks on the beach and the beautiful vintage Point Iroquois Lighthouse just a short walk down the beach is a destination in itself.
