The Horseshoe Lake Cottage has a beautiful view situated right on the peninsula. Enjoy 2200 feet of private, waterfront peninsula in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Very secluded and quiet.  There are only 4 other cottages on the gorgeous 220 acre Horseshoe Lake, near Republic, Michigan. Horseshoe Lake is mostly a sandy bottom beach, yet it is rocky in some parts.  Its depth ranges between 10-15 feet deep, with a few spots at 20 feet. The property owners have created a small, beach area on a part of the peninsula. It has a slight incline. Kids absolutely love to play in the sand in this area. Great for fishing, privacy, and relaxation, This cottage has three-bedrooms with gorgeous views throughout. Windows surround the cabin, which makes you feel connected to nature.The Horseshoe Lake Cottage provides a very spacious and comfortable area, both inside and out, with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy. The master bedroom is spacious with a king-sized bed and TV w/ DVD player. The other bedrooms have bunk beds-- one with a double bed below. We also provide a washer and dryer downstairs for your sole use during your stay!

A simple boat is included during your stay. Plus, a 2 person paddle boat was just added! Fun for all.

 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Cell/Mobile Service: Cell service is spotty in the Upper Peninsula.  Still, we have found that Sprint seems to provide the best service in the area.  AT&T has been pretty good as well.

Coffee Pot: Yes, we have a coffee pot at the cabin. At times there is coffee available, yet we highly recommend that you bring your own. We do not inventory the coffee.

Fishing poles: Please bring your own fishing poles and gear. There may be some at the cabin, yet they seem to come and go. :-)

Grill: - We have a outdoor propane grill for your use. Also, there is a built-in charcoal grill pit by the fire pit. 

Heating source: Not only do we have the fire place, yet we do have forced air heat. The Horseshoe Lake Cabin is much more like a house. It is not a rustic cabin. :-)

Linens: Yes, bed linens and towels are provided. There is a washer/dryer at the cabin, that you can use if you would like to wash your linens during your stay.

LAUNCH: If you are bringing your own boat, there is a beautiful public boat launch on the north east side of the lake. 

GROCERY STORE: The closest, full-sized grocery store is about a 1/2 hour drive from the cabin, Ishpeming.  It is the IGA Jubilee right on U.S 41.  If you are driving from Wisconsin/Chicago, the last grocery store is in Iron Mountain.There is a little store in the town of Republic, about 15 minutes from the cabin, yet there isn't a large selection, and the prices are convenience-store equivalent.There is a larger convenience store/BP Gas station on the corner of U.S. 41 and MI-95, about 20 minutes North of the cabin.

KITCHEN SUPPLIES: The basic kitchen supplies are at the cabin. Basic dishes, pots/pans, glasses, cups, etc. are provided, including basic kitchen spices. Still, we do not inventory these items, so if there is something particular you would like, we highly recommend bringing it.
