Keweenaw Basecamp on Shoemaker Trail – Private Beach, Pet Friendly, and Four Season Adventure
Welcome to your home base for year-round Keweenaw adventure. This centrally located retreat sits along the peaceful Shoemaker Trail and offers direct access to some of the region's most beautiful natural surroundings. Whether you are looking for a summer escape by the lake, a hiking and color tour destination in the fall, or a full snow-season playground, this property puts it all within reach.
One of the true highlights is the property's 100 foot stretch of Lake Superior shoreline. The pristine beach features soft sands, crystal clear water, and stunning sunrise views. It is perfect for swimming, or simply relaxing to the rhythm of the waves. Spend your summer days paddling, sunbathing, or gathered around a lakeside campfire under the stars.
In the warmer months, the Keweenaw becomes a hiker’s paradise. Perfect for hiking, biking, or exploring by ATV. Nearby favorites include Estivant Pines, Bare Bluff, and Hungarian Falls. Take a short drive to Copper Harbor for mountain biking, kayaking, or simply soaking up the charm of the harbor town.
When fall arrives, the peninsula bursts into vibrant color. The crisp air and fiery foliage make for unforgettable hikes, scenic drives, and cozy evenings. Brockway Mountain Drive, just a short drive away, offers some of the most spectacular views in the Midwest during peak color season.
As the snow falls, the Keweenaw transforms into a winter wonderland. With direct trail access from the property, snowmobilers can hit hundreds of miles of groomed trails right from the driveway. Nearby, enjoy cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and fat tire biking. For downhill enthusiasts, legendary Mount Bohema is just a short drive away and offers some of the most challenging terrain in the region.
The home sleeps up to six guests comfortably with two private bedrooms and a pull out couch in the living area. It is pet friendly, so your four legged family members are welcome too. Inside you will find a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy living space perfect for unwinding after a day outdoors. Whether you are gathered around the fire, playing games, or enjoying a quiet morning with coffee, the setting is perfect for reconnecting and relaxing.
Centrally located between Copper Harbor and Houghton, this property makes exploring the Keweenaw easy while offering the peace and quiet of a more private setting.
Please note: Beach access is currently via a ladder. We are in the process of developing this rental and plan to add easier, more accessible beach entry in the near future. We appreciate your understanding as we continue to make this special place even better.
