The Eagle Lodge and Lakeside Cabins are located on the northern point of the Keweenaw Peninsula, on the shore of mighty Lake Superior. Open year round with outstanding northern style accommodations.

The Eagle Lodge and Lakeside Cabins are between Copper Harbor and Eagle Harbor in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (Map). Eagle Lodge is just 3 miles from Copper Harbor and 10 miles from Eagle Harbor.

Nestled in a wooded area on the shore of Lake Superior, all cabins have a good view of the water. This resort is located on the shore of Lake Superior, not in a harbor or cove. You can see 50 miles from east to west with absolutely nothing in the way.

There are 8 housekeeping cabins, with stove, refrigerator, dishes and cooking utensils. These are one, two and three bedroom cabins, one without a kitchenette. All cabins have double beds and linens are furnished. The three bedroom is a large log cabin on the shoreline, with a wood-burning fireplace. Some 1 & 2 bedroom cabins have gas log fireplaces.

Make your reservations early. Cabins may be rented nightly if available. Two-three day reservations preferred.

The Lodge has been turned into a recreation area complete with various size tables, full time coffee and a fireplace area with chairs around it. After a day on the beach or in the snow, bring your food or favorite beverage into the recreation room, play games, read, or just sit around the fire.

The location of the Eagle Lodge and Lakeside Cabins is an important attraction. Park your car and stroll over to the Lookout Area next to the log cabin, sit down in one of the chairs and breathe deeply. You are enjoying a sight that few people see. Lake Superior may be calm and quiet, raging mad, filled with heavy waves or creating ice sculptures for your enjoyment. Whatever the season, you will be stunned by the beauty. During the shipping season, you can sit at the point and watch the huge freighters traveling to or from Duluth, Canada or the Soo Locks. You will often see breathtaking sunsets and Northern Lights.
