This cottage was originally a one-room schoolhouse that was moved from a nearby mine. A bedroom, bathroom and a kitchen were then added on, along with a log front porch (covered), which offers a magnificent view of Eagle Harbor. There is one bedroom with a queen bed. This cottage has a FULL kitchen and a living room area. The best view of the water is from this cozy cottage!
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 3 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 three.

Beautiful Setting
This is our second stay in this cabin. We love the front porch for coffee in the mornings in the surroundings are so beautiful. The house had everything we needed, was very clean and cozy. The owners are very accommodating and even brought us an extra fan during the heat wave. We love it U.P here!

Perfect!!
There is no place in Michigan quite like the Keweenaw. For the last 20+ years this has been where I go to truly get away from it all and recharge. This get away was much needed this year. The host was above and beyond accommodating. The kindness that she displayed will never be forgotten. The Schoolhouse cabin was perfect for two. It has great views of the lake and is very clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend Freshwater Vacation Rentals to all and will be booking again!!
FVR RESPONSE
Jennifer, your recommendation means a lot to us. It is so important to find a place to recharge, especially in the last 2 years. The Keweenaw area is so gorgeous, especially in fall. We're glad that we could offer a cottage that fit your needs, and we look forward to your return.

Quaint cozy stay! Fantastic location!
We LOVED the little school house! So much beauty around every bend of the Upper Peninsula. This school house is situated in a great location. Pretty views from the front and a VERY short walk to the lighthouse and scenic overlook. We spent our evenings star gazing! Who knew there were so many stars in the sky!!!! The only complaint is the shower, it sprays out into the floor - maybe a new shower head would solve the problem?! Regardless, we will be back! Such a fantastic getaway for our anniversary!
FVR RESPONSE
April, thank you for this enthusiastic review! We agree, the star gazing in the UP is extraordinary. Thanks for the feedback on the shower head - we'll get that taken care of. We look forward to your return!

What a lovely place to stay, again!
Our 2017 stay was so pleasing that we repeated this year. Schoolhouse is excellent for two; well-equipped Kitchen with appliances, cooking implements and supplies, 1 minute walk to the Freshwater laundry and trash bins, Queen bed and a small but well organized bathroom. Great housekeeping with everything clean; crisp linens and plenty of towels, etc.

Nice location for exploring the Keeweenaw Peninsula
The Schoolhouse cottage is in a nice location in Eagle Harbor. Steps away from the light house, a view of the harbor and beach out the front window. The Eagle Harbor Inn / Restaurant is a short walk down the street. You are within 30 to 45 minutes from the attractions in the Keeweenaw. The cottage has a living room, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. It was clean and is nicely furnished.

Eagle Harbor - My Happy Place
I absolutely love Eagle Harbor and the Schoolhouse Cottage was a wonderful little cottage to stay in while there. You can't beat the fantastic view from the porch and it's perfect location near the lighthouse. It was clean and had all that you need for a comfortable stay. The owners were very accommodating and friendly. Can't wait to go back!
FRESHWATER RESPONSE:
We love that Eagle Harbor School House Cottage is your happy place! The lighthouses in MI are so special, and being as close as you are from the School House makes staying there even more memorable.

adorable cottage steps away from the beach and sunset views and a short drive from great sights
This cottage was exactly what we were looking for on a recent trip for just my wife and I. It is a short drive from Copper Harbor, Ft. Wilkins, Brockaway Mountain and more. Each night we walked 300 yards to the viewing platform by the lighthouse to watch the sun set over Lake Superior - awesome! Without a doubt we'd stay here again.
FRESHWATER RESPONSE:
Stephen, aren't lighthouses the best! Lake Superior has it's own magic, and then you add a lighthouse and a sunset and words cannot describe its magnificence. We are so glad that you liked the Schoolhouse Cottage, and we'll be even happier to see you again. Remember that returning guests get a 10% discount.

Cozy, Comfortable
Schoolhouse Cottage was a cute little place. Had everything we needed. Quiet, cozy and a great view of Eagle Harbor Bay. There is a very nice restaurant within a couple blocks of the cottage. A word of caution, my OnStar took me to Copper Harbor down some dirt road. Be sure to go to Eagle Harbor as the owners instructions tell you. It is on the west side of the bay.
FRESHWATER RESPONSE:
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! We are so happy you had a great time! Lake Superior is such a beautiful view! We hope to see you again in the future!

One week stay in early August 2017
Every bit as good as described and pictured. Exceptionally equipped kitchen. Hope to rent Schoolhouse (or Doc's) next year, perhaps for a longer stay. Caretakers Barb and Alan are super! They care equally for the property and for the guests; very conscientious.

Spontaneity Rewarded!
My mother and I were planning on camping up near Eagle Harbor but were detered by the relentless flies. After some online digging, we came across the Schoolhouse listing and fell in love. It was a perfect spot for Keweenaw adventuring and so close to the Jampot. The accommodations were cute and clean and the customer service was so helpful, even as we arrived after hours. Thanks so much!
