    Property Details

    This special cabin, with a cottage feel, includes a full kitchen, dining and living areas, a bathroom on the first floor, a free-standing cast iron propane stove, and a lofted bedroom above. Windows across the entirety of the lakeside frame spectacular vista views of the beach, Lake Superior, the Huron Mountains and Huron Islands across the bay. Covered porches on both the front and back provide ample opportunity for watching stunning sunrises while enjoying a cup of coffee, watching ships or seeing people enjoy the beach all day. The cabin's charm lies in the wood details. The flooring and custom kitchen countertops are southern yellow pine sourced from the southeastern states and milled at the Connor Flooring Mill in Amasa, MI. The pine bathroom flooring is local and was milled north of Crystal Falls, MI. The interior paneling was milled in Mohawk from locally sawn white pine lumber. Cabin has been meticulously maintained since the original 1997 custom-build. This cabin sits upon an expansive sand beach, culturally and archaeologically significant to the historic Upper Peninsula, Michigan mining era. The 100' of unique black sand beach, reminiscent of those in Hawaii and Greece, is a playground for unlimited fun and enjoyment. Close to many scenic natural and historic areas in the Copper Country, including the Keweenaw National Historic Park, this location offers opportunities for activities to enjoy all four seasons. Experience the Keweenaw Bay Lake life offering fresh air, crystal clear water, beautiful fall colors and spectacular Northern Lights. This much sought after Upper Peninsula location is in the community of Big Traverse Bay, MI, near Lake Linden. This fine cabin is close to nationally recognized mountain biking trails, hiking trails, ATV trails, world class ski hills, Keweenaw-Gay Multi Use Trail, snowmobiling, kayaking, fishing and so much more. Generations of families have and will continue to enjoy the good life here, on the lake. The property is within walking distance to the mouth of the Traverse River. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Big Traverse Bay Historic District, originally a logging camp, is a quaint Finnish fishing village community with boat houses, net reels, cedar-shake covered fishing buildings and ice houses, saunas, a boat launch and navigation lights on the break wall piers. This community remains an active and robust fishing community. Grand Traverse Bay Harbor, the only safe harbor between South Portage entry and Lac Labelle, is an official state of MICHIGAN SAFE HARBOR. Offshore and adjacent to the boat launch in the safe harbor, is the Buffalo Reef Natural Fishery, 2,200' of one of Lake Superior's most vitally productive whitefish and trout spawning regions.
