*LAKEFRONT (Lake Superior)
*SWIMMING ON PROPERTY
This beautiful cottage, once owned by local artist Alice Reynolds, sits on the shore of beautiful Lake Superior.
You will love this 2-bedroom cottage with its newly remodeled interior. This cottage has 1 bathroom with shower and a private outdoor shower. There is a gas grill for your convenience as well as a fully equipped open concept kitchen.
There are many activities to enjoy around the area such as hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing, exploring the area beaches, hunting for agates and Yooperlites.
There are also times that you may want to explore the old copper mines, take a ride up Brockway Mountain, or Copper Harbor... all just a short drive away.
If you choose to stay with us during the late summer, please feel free to pick berries from our Thimbleberry bushes. Yum!
So, tell the office you’re on vacation, come to the UP and enjoy our little slice of heaven.
Keep in mind you are in the uppermost part of Michigan and Wi-Fi can be spotty, but that’s what vacation is all about right?

Wonderful stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at Sunrise Cove! The chairs on the back deck were PERFECT for enjoying the view and the sound of the water on the rocks, and the location was very convenient to Eagle Harbor, Copper Harbor, and even Hubbell for our seaplane ride to Isle Royale. We didn't cook but the kitchen appeared well-supplied. The bed was comfortable, the cottage was very clean, and we had excellent Wi-fi as long as we didn't have too many devices connected at once. The only complaint we had was that we wanted to watch the Olympics and never could figure out how to get the local channels on the TV, but that was very minor! Would definitely recommend staying here!

This house was amazing!!! The views were spectacular!! We loved watching the waves of Lake Superior outside the window. This location was great!! The house itself was very clean and very well stocked with everything that you would need. The house also had a log book from previous people and it was very helpful. IF you venture beyond this beautiful location the sunset at “ Great Sand Bay” was great!!! Fresh Water Vacation Resnais did NOT disappoint

Perfect Eagle Harbor
Loved it here! Quiet, comfortable, including the mattress. Especially impressed with the kitchen, including sharp knives. Sunrises and sunsets are glorious, with waves on the rocks. Looks a little dark and musty in the online pics. NO!! It's lovely and perfectly clean. One of the best places we've stayed.

Once again we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sunrise Cottage, even better this year with the aid of a recliner chair. (I suggested this last year, as it helps me and my miserable back sleep, and the owners provided one. Many thanks for that!) As usual the cottage was perfectly clean and very well stocked with necessities. It is beautifully positioned for day trips around the Keweenaw. And sunsets are wonderful.

Finally!
For years We come to Keweenaw each autumn for a week or two and, until now, have not found a place to return to. Now we have. Location on the water is perfect; we enjoyed the range from crashing waves to lapping waves, plus spectacular sunsets. It is also conveniently located for day trips exploring all of Keweenaw. Now, Unlike most rentals, Sunrise Cottage is provisioned abundantly; the kitchen in particular has all the cookery and crockery one could need instead of the frequent sparseness of 4 plates, 4 cups, 4 of each (mismatched) silverware, etc. This is a most comfortable place and we hope to return next autumn.
FVR RESPONSE:
WOW! What a wonderful review, Karl! We are so thrilled to know that you found the home to be ideal and able to exceed expectations, and provide you with a comfortable stay for you autumn getaway! We truly look forward to getting a chance to have you back!

It seems like everything was thought of to make our stay memorable!
This has been the most amazing weekend! This was our very first trip to the UP. It definitely will NOT be our last! Sunrise Cove is in the perfect location. I don't know that I have ever been more relaxed! Sitting on the deck listening to the waves crash against the rocks was so soothing. We enjoyed getting up early to watch the sunrise right from the deck. We got out on the rocks a bit to watch the sunsets too. Moments like those make you thankful to appreciative of God's beautiful creation.
We did one day of site seeing. We stopped at the cafe in Eagle Harbor for ice cream and found out the people behind the counter, running the cafte, were from our hometown! What a small world! We found everyone to be so friendly and kind.
Of all the vacation homes we have stayed at I have to say Sunrise Cove has been the best so far! It is stocked so well! Definitely the cleanest and most comfortable place we have been. We checked out the outdoor shower on the warm day! It was very spacious! A nice addition to the home! And on the rainy night we played cards late into the night! It seems like you have thought of everything to make our stay here quite memorable! We will definitely be back.

Perfect home base for exploring
Thank you for your comfortable, airy, perfectly situated house. We used it as home base for hiking and rock hunting at Black Creek Nature Sanctuary, Great Sand Bay, and Gratiot County Park. Didn't see any eagles, but lots of ducks, geese, a sandhill crane, and seagulls. Always enjoy being anywhere we can watch light and lake interact

Excellent!
Where do I start! What a great place to decompress and unplug! Absolutely beautiful! The cabin was so cozy and clean. The kitchen had everything you would possibly need. The deck on the back of the cabin was a great place to be as the sun was rising and setting while listening the water coming ashore. We traveled on our motorcycles with this cabin being 'homebase'. We explored waterfalls, State Parks and enjoyed the excellent roads. Being as we were on motorcycles; we were thinking how great it would have been if a grocery delivery service was available. LOL Thank you for providing this perfect place!
FVR RESPONSE:
What a wonderful review Jeff! We are so happy to know you had a great motorcycle trip exploring the UP, and especially grateful to know that you found our Sunrise Cove cottage to be the perfect home base for your adventure! We would love to have you back!

Maureen and Bob, we'd love to have you back again next year! One simply can not beat sitting on the porch and looking out over Lake Superior. It does the soul well.

Sunrise Cove in October
We had the pleasure of staying at Sunrise Cove in October, during the peak of Northern Michigan's fall beauty, and we couldn't of enjoyed ourselves more. The drive alone was beautiful, but we absolutely loved walking the rocky shoreline at the cottage and taking in the stunning views! The cottage had everything we could possibly need. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, they even had spices (which was great since we forgot to bring those). We grilled up some steaks on the (provided) outdoor grill and enjoyed our dinner looking out the large dinning room windows watching the sunset and the waves crash on the rocks. We also enjoyed coffee on the deck each morning overlooking Lake Superior. The beds were very comfortable, which is something I'm always worried about when traveling. We also took advantage of the great location and spent some time at Eagle River Falls, hiking the nearby trails, and spent an afternoon driving over Brockway Mountain Pass and exploring the nearby town of Copper Harbor. We also enjoyed a delicious dinner out at Eagle Harbor Inn, that is just a few miles from the cottage. This is a great place to unplug, relax and recharge, yet also offers plenty of outdoor adventure. Overall I would give Sunrise Cove 5 stars! In fact we have already booked another visit!
