Copper Harbor, Michigan
Welcome to East Lake Lodge - overlooking the water , the 2 bedroom (total 3 queen beds) 2 bath home is approx. 1350 sf. - Up to 4 guests welcome. This is a NON-SMOKING , NO PET cottage on picturesque Lake Medora, a pristine 680 acre lake, 4 miles from Copper Harbor.
The Cottage was newly constructed in Oct. 2011. The 1st floor includes full bath, gourmet kitchen / granite island, living room with leather sofas, hardwood and slate flooring with oriental rugs. The 2nd floor includes laundry, half bath, 1 bedroom w/ one queen bed, and 2nd bedroom with two queen beds, hardwood floors, with Oriental Rugs.
The 8 x 16 Sauna building is great for relaxing. The sauna has a wood fired heater with a rock surround that, when hot, can be used to produce steam. Wood is supplied for the sauna.
The Workshop / storage building, visible in the background photos is not part of the rental. This building is used by the owner when he is on the property.
Also for your use are 4 kayaks, a paddle boat and 12' aluminum boat. The aluminum boat is built to accommodate mounting a trolling motor or 10 hp motor (motor not provided). The lake has three islands and miles of natural shoreline to explore.
The siting of the cottage, on a rock ledge that juts out into the lake affords breathtaking and beautiful water views on three sides. Constructed in 2011 on the footprint of the original fishing camp, the cottage is located in the heart of the Keweenaw. As such you can easily make day trips and hikes to all points of interest in the area. Come up and escape the summer heat! It is a relaxing drive up too!
Speaking of hiking - the lake is surrounded by miles of trails that radiate out from the lake in different directions. These can be accessed from lake Medora road, which loops around the East and North sides of the lake and from Washington Mine road which runs along the West area of the lake

House was very well kept and clean. Owner Cary was very helpful throughout our stay. Very quiet and awesome property. Would stay here again when we are back in copper harbor
My family enjoyed our stay at the property. It is very clean, bright, spacious and close to the lake. We had a great time - would definitely recommend !
Spotlessly clean, gorgeous construction, quiet peaceful lake front. Equipped with everything you would ever need. Owner was very attentive to our needs. Overall a perfect place to relax! Loved East Lake Lodge!
East Lake Lodge is beautiful and peaceful. The amenities were excellent from nicely stocked kitchen, immaculate furnishings, and outdoor activities. Location was perfect. Excellent communication and assistance from the owner. We booked our stay for next fall before leaving.
This property was spectacular. The home was beautifully handcrafted by the owner. The attention to detail was truly amazing. There is lovely wood detail throughout the entire home, modern kitchen with excellent amenities, 2 nice sized, comfortable bedrooms and 2 baths. The home was spotlessly clean. The house is seated on a rocky outcropping on the east end of Lake Medora and it is quiet and peaceful. The owner was kind and thorough and provided all information needed for a perfect stay. This is a delightful home for a relaxing getaway in the Keeweenaw Peninsula. The location is perfect for traveling to local attractions. We would highly recommend this rental if you are in need of a perfect vacation. You will not be disappointed, as this home will meet all your needs.
Beautiful, peaceful, and private. Exactly like it was advertised. We enjoyed cooking and sitting in the kitchen. Having firewood provided by the owner was very nice. The hummingbirds and ducks were entertaining. The Location is perfect for trips to Copper Harbor and Eagle River. Thanks for a relaxing week!
We absolutely loved our stay here at the cabin. Not only it was beautiful and clean with amazing wood work but also easy to find, yet hidden paradise. We loved sitting at the bar watching the lake and the hummingbirds. Really enjoyed the sauna, it was a wonderful experience. We loved taking the paddle boat into the lake to watch the most magnificent Sunsets. I loved cooking and washing in the nice kitchen, watching the lake and the ducks. The cabin was close to Copper Harbor, Eagle River and Eagle Harbor making it easy to see amazing lighthouses and water falls. Loved seeing Stairs to the Beach, Brockway Mountain and Esrey Park along with many other beautiful areas. Thank you Carey for sharing your cabin with Us. We can’t wait to come back. John and Kathy
The home is situated right on the water with hummingbird feeders on the deck which attracts fearless hummingbirds that will literally buzz right next to you. The home has amazing woodwork that was obviously installed and finished by a master carpenter. The home is exceptionally clean, with a well equipped kitchen that is also supplied with gourmet coffee. There is plenty of firewood for both the firepit and the sauna. Communication with the owner was exceptional before and after arrival.
Cary was an excellent host! He explained everything in detail and there wasn’t anything unexpected. Our fishing trip wasn’t the best due to an oddly warm year. But it was nice to come back to a cozy and clean cabin! The driveway was a little tight to try and get a bigger boat in. But made it work. Overall this was a great trip and a beautiful location to stay. Can’t get much closer to the water!
This was a great spot for my wife and I while visiting Copper Harbor. Lake Medora was beautiful, perfect for a few kayak outings, and provided a brisk but accessible (unlike Superior) nightly pairing with the woodfired sauna. Cary was very responsive and more than flexible when we needed to adjust our arrangements. His home provides a high quality, unique experience on the lake just a few miles/minutes from town.
