Doc’s Inn-This cottage was built for a regular Lake Breeze Resort guest. He was a physician who traveled with his chauffeur, so the house was built with two bedrooms; the larger for the doctor and the smaller for the chauffeur. There are 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom, a full kitchen, and a large dining and living room space.
A message from the owners:
As a child, I spent my summers enjoying the relaxed lifestyle the small community of Eagle Harbor offered. As an adult, I brought my family up to enjoy the community as often as I could. I am so excited to be able to share a piece of that with others.
Our 4 cottages were part of the original Lake Breeze Resort in Eagle Harbor. Built in the 1920’s, this resort had 15 cottages that sat on “The Hill” overlooking the harbor. As time went on, some of the cottages were sold, and we now find ourselves lucky enough to own four.
Eagle Harbor Inn - Wonderful local restaurant for Lunch or Dinner where you an find delicious fish, steak, pizza or a full bar including wonderful craft beers!
Fletchy's Otter Belly Inn - Serving specialty coffees and teas, breakfast pastries, breakfasts and sandwiches for lunch and seasonally ice cream cones.
Gift Shop- The Gem Store aka Agate Shop is a lovely little gift shop, especially for anyone who is a rock hound.
Lighthouse- The lighthouse is just a two minute walk! There is a historical museum and a gift shop that also provides a huge observation deck where you go up the steps to sit and watch the freighters go by.
The Jampot- (located 5 miles away along M26 toward Eagle River) Bakery affiliated with a monastery selling house-roasted coffee & very good bakery items.
Great Sand Bay- Similar to the Traverse City “Sleeping Bear Dunes”! Just a short 3 miles away.
Copper Harbor Attractions:
Copper Harbor is a town that is a short scenic 14 miles away from the cottages. In Copper Harbor you can find some very unique places that are a must see while you are in town!
Brockway Mountain scenic drive.
The Brick House- This is a micro brewery where you can find all of the finest craft beers in the area!
Into the Woods- 18 hole miniature golf course.
The Harbor Haus- Authentic German food that you must try!
Jamsen's Fish Market & Bakery- Freshly baked goods are produced here every day.
The General Store- Across the street from dining is where you will find an old fashioned general store that has a gas station as well.

Reviews
Absolutely the best
I have rented many cottages, condos, apartments on vacation and loved everything about Doc’s Inn from the location, inviting decor, amenities, and cleanliness. The managers were quick to respond with answers to questions. The cottage was very spacious for the two couples staying there. Highly recommend.

Perfect cottage
Doc’s Inn was lovely. It had everything we needed— fully stocked kitchen. It was super clean and steps from the light house and beach. It was a lot larger than we were expecting with a nice open floor plan. The internet worked without any issues. The home was super comfortable and we hope to stay again!

We Like Lighthouses, And Couldn't Be Closer
The location was about as close to the lighthouse property as you could get, so that was nice, especially being able to see the light in operation at night from right there. The cabin itself was larger than I expected, the pictures don't do it justice. The main living area was very spacious as were the bedrooms. The kitchen was well equipped and having a dishwasher meant we didn't have to clean dishes all week. There was plenty of hot water and the water even tasted quite good, so no need for bottled water like some places we've been to. The parking was tricky to find the night we arrived (pitch black and no moon yet), it's actually around between two other cabins, and is just enough for one car. The next day someone showed use the proper place. I think the only real complaint we had was that the wi-fi was really unreliable. In the end, we power cycled it to get it working, but were never able to get all of our devices on it. But the television selection was good so were entertained by that when the laptops wouldn't connect. Also be aware that our AT&T and Sprint network phones didn't have reception here.

Andy, thanks for this great review. Being right by the lighthouse at Doc's Inn is magical, plus the cabin has a partial view of Lake Superior. This cabin has 2 bedrooms and sleeps 4. Our apologies for the spotty WIFI. We do hope you come back again.

I can’t say enough about how much we loved Doc’s Inn! I would highly recommend this place or any of the Freshwater places for an excellent vacation spot. From the housekeeping to the online customer service, everyone was superbly fantastic. They were so accommodating with our last minute adjustments not to mention the place was sparkling clean and they thought of everything down to the smallest details. Would definitely stay again!

Eagle Harbor
Docs Inn was perfect for the two of us to get away for R&R. Close to sites to see of beauty and history. Cottage was beautifully furnished and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes and pots and pans. Would've LOVED to have used the fireplace ( we know how) but was respectful of all. Outdoor shower was a fun feature we will use next time. Barb was a great help when we got there and leaving. Bless you all !

Jesse, we are happy that you enjoyed staying at Eagle Harbor- Docs Inn. It sleeps 4 and has a full kitchen, and a large dining and living room space. The original resort was built in the 1920s so history abounds here. The beach is just a short walk across the street.

Eagle Harbor Stay
We had a great stay. Really liked the cabin and all of its amenities, very clean and comfortable to relax in. Quite close to surrounding cottages and tight parking. We planned on a usable fireplace but it had a sign "Do not use", disappointed. Eagle Harbor is a neat little village in a beautiful setting especially when fall colors come. We also really liked Eagle Harbor Inn for lunch and dinner, with in walking distance. We definitely will be back

June vacation
We stayed at Docs Inn for a week and had a wonderful time. We lucked out with good weather (warmer than it usually is at this time) and got to enjoy time at Eagle Harbor. The little beach was the perfect size and just a quick walk from the house. Being by the lighthouse was nice too. There is an observation deck there that we enjoyed going to where we could watch sunsets and the night sky. Eagle Harbor Inn has decent food for carry out which was nice our first night there. The town itself is like a step back in time-very safe and friendly. The property was well kept and the kitchen was stocked with all basics to cook with. There were also odds and ends of salt, flour, etc left over by other guests. There are two grills outside-charcoal and propane-which is nice for cooking outside. The bedrooms were comfortable and the living room was cozy. The fireplace is beautiful but non working. Lots of windows and fans to open up the house and being in the ocean breezes. The four houses are close together with a shared washer/dryer. The laundry room had everything you could possibly need-beach bags, towels, beach chairs, laundry detergent and even a first aid kit. We were the only guests at any of the four cottages so it was nice and quiet. Overall we enjoyed our stay. We have stayed at four different Freshwater properties and always had examplar service and quick responses to any questions we had prior to or during a stay. We will continue to book with Freshwater on our trips to Michigan. We would stay at Doc's Inn again as we loved the Keweenaw Peninsula and all we could do up there.

Beyond our expectations!
We stayed at Doc's Inn for three nights in mid-July, and were most pleasantly surprised by how comfortable everything was! From the decorating to the well stocked pantry(SO great to find coffee supplies!), all our needs we anticipated and taken care of. We enjoyed being walking distance from the Eagle Harbor Lighthouse and beach, and enjoyed a great meal at the Eagle Harbor Inn, just up the road. The cottage was clean, and well taken care of. We enjoyed all the amenities of cable, Internet, and cell service. This truly is a lovely spacious cabin and we would stay there again in a heartbeat. The folks at Freshwater Rentals make everything so easy, too! They are greeat to work with!
