Hidden Gem in Keweenaw's Outdoor Playground

Built in 2004 this quiet cottage is located on a private penninsula in Bete Grise.
Our private cottage is the perfect respite after enjoying all the area has to offer.

We have a private dock which offers direct water access to all types of boating and fishing in Lake Superior and Lac La Belle. Beach access to the crystal blue waters and singing sands of Lake Superior is at the end of the driveway. The Midwest's premier ski hill, Mt Bohemia, is just 3 miles down the road as are the U.P's famed snowmobile trails, and mountain biking IMBA’s Copper Harbor “Silver Level Ride Center” ranks among the top trail systems in the world!

Our open floor plan on the first floor is a wonderful place to gather after a day of adventure in the the Keweenaw whether it be for a meal or fireside chat around the custom fireplace.

Our cottage has 3 bedrooms and sleeps 10. The master suite is located on the main floor with an attached bathroom. It has a queen bed and queen size sleeper sofa. The 2 other bedrooms are located on the second floor, 1 with 2 queen beds and the other with 1 queen bed and a shared bathroom.

There is an alarm system on the cabin that will be disarmed before your arrival. We do however have exterior cameras that are on the porch only. These are for your protection and ours.

Amazing beach

Lovely getaway in cozy cottage with gorgeous views. The fireplace and games/puzzles were wonderful to have since the weather was cool and rainy on and off while we were there.

We stayed at this beautiful cabin in the woods for three nights over the 4th of July holiday. It was perfect for our two families that included two teens and three pre-teen kids. We were able to explore the Keweenaw easily and even did a day trip over to Isle Royale. Our boys spent as much time possible fishing off the dock while the girls enjoyed the short walk to the beach everyday. The house was very well stocked and very clean. Carla was friendly and super accommodating for us when we needed an unexpected date change. I would definitely recommend a stay here and hope to return one day!

Great cabin feel, easy access to Mt Bohemia

The property has stunning views and a nice cabin feel, ample parking and a well-equipped kitchen. Everything is very clean. The stone fireplace is really nice but otherwise the interior is dated. For the price, we were expecting more comfortable beds - the mattresses are very old and uneven. This is an ideal location on Superior just minutes from Mt Bohemia.

2025 Boho Trip

Great residence, Carla was communicative and the place was well maintained. Right down the road from Bohemia. Lots of fire wood to one the porch, great views and comfortable beds. Make sure to bring some extra water bottles, the tap water has a slight sulfur smell - not a big deal since they keep a filter in the fridge.

Spacious, charming, great cabin

We had a great stay. The place is better and more spacious than the pictures. We were at full capacity with 10 people and had room for an air mattress, even though we didn’t technically need it. The “futon” is actually a pull out couch. One bathroom is attached through the master but has two entrances through the kitchen too so it was fine for everyone to use. There was a full kitchen and washer and dryer. The host was helpful and welcoming. It was about ten mins from Mount Bohemia and was a perfect ski house. There was a lovely cozy and warm fire a fire wood to use. Would recommend and stay again!

Everything was so easy to access. The stay was fantastic. We had five guys with ski gear and it was a great place after a hard day of skiing. I hope to stay again next year.

Very clean and well stocked!

I would HIGHLY recommend staying here. It was very clean, comfortable beds with soft bedding and one of the best stocked VRBOs we have stayed in. From an over abundance of bathroom towels to a fully stocked kitchen, if you forgot anything, Carla will probably have it there for you. We brought our own paper products, spices, etc, but it’s all there. The ORV trails are very close and easy to access. Plenty of parking for trucks and trailers. We will definitely return.

Welcoming and cozy home

An absolutely beautiful place to sit still, relax, and get a front row seat to the fall colors of the keweenaw. Lake Superior right across the road from this gem, beach access and near by access to wonderful hiking, and a Nordic spa just up the road a few miles, you couldn’t ask for a better spot to spend your vacation. The house is beautiful and clearly loved by the owners and all those who are lucky enough to visit. Thoughtful amenities and guidance in their welcome book, we had all that we needed and more to figure out what was around us and all the local attractions. We can’t wait to come back and visit again. Thank you so much for having us!

Beautiful property with tons of activities close

I loved this property. It is far removed from any neighbors but a short walk to the beach. It has a dock where we launched our kayaks from. It was a short drive to all the other activities we wanted to do in the area.

Another exceptional stay

This was our third year in a row at Bete Grise, and it was just as wonderful as the past stays! The cabin is very well stocked with everything you need. There were plenty of beds and dishes for our large group of 8, which made our trip very enjoyable. Thank you for the stay, CC! We look forward to next year.

Surrounded by Nature and the Beauty of the Keweenaw

With a view of Lake Superior and the morning sunrise, it was a great base to explore the beauty of the Keweenaw, and to return to at the end of the day to enjoy time with family. It couldn’t have been more peaceful. It’s a lovely home, and we enjoyed morning coffee, walks on the beach, and shared meals at the end of the day, looking out over the lagoon and lake 🌲🦌

Wonderful location and space

Finding a place for 10 family members to gather is always a challenge. This property offered plenty of room to spread out, comfortable sleeping for all, beautiful sunrises over Lake Superior, and a wide range of hikes and activities within 30 min. Geology of the area is amazing and otter and hummingbird activity was also a treat. Hope to revisit in the future!
