Lake Superior / Whitefish Bay / Paradise, MI

This custom-built, year-round residence is nestled along the shores of Lake Superior in the serene Whitefish Bay. Boasting three bedrooms, two full baths, and a convenient main-floor laundry room, this home is designed for both comfort and convenience. The pièce de résistance is the Owner’s Suite, which features a captivating Lake-viewing tower, allowing you to soak in the breathtaking vistas of the lake.

On those cool evenings, gather around the full fieldstone wall fireplace to keep warm and create cherished memories. The covered deck provides an ideal vantage point for gazing out over the tranquil waters of the lake and bay, while a fire pit by the shore adds an inviting touch for cozy gatherings and stunning views of Canada directly across the property.

This location offers a front-row seat to watch the majestic freighters passing by and witness awe-inspiring sunrises. Just a short half-mile walk away, you'll find the quaint town of Paradise, MI, nestled in the Upper Peninsula, offering a charming escape.

Explore the rich local attractions, with the Whitefish Point Lighthouse, Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, Whitefish Bird Sanctuary, and Tahquamenon Falls just a brief 10-mile drive away. Venture a bit further, and you'll discover additional attractions such as the Oswald Bear Ranch, Sault Ste. Marie with its Soo Locks, and the enchanting destinations of Mackinaw City, Mackinac Island, and St. Ignace, all within an hour's drive or less.

For outdoor enthusiasts, snowmobile trails are conveniently located just half a mile down the road, providing ample opportunities for winter adventures in this picturesque setting. This Lake Superior retreat is a perfect blend of natural beauty, comfort, and easy access to a plethora of attractions and activities.

Fantastic Home!
Home was very clean and has lots of amenities. Newer appliances and grill made eating in easy. The location is great! The view does not disappoint. The sunrises are amazing. We loved spending time on the back porch and next to the fire pit. We watched the lake for hours! The home is close to town so you can grab a meal or extra supplies. Our teenagers didn’t want to leave! If that doesn’t speak for its excellence I don’t know what will. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home.

Paradise...In Paradise!!!
Between the view and the location, it was the perfect spot to stay at for 6 days. All the most common destination to visit in the UP are very close to enjoy and make day trips all week long. Dale was very attentive to answering the questions I had, prior to making the trip. The house had all the accommodations needed to make the 6 days stay easy. The overall living space in the house, the outdoor deck and firepit available to hang out, made no one feel crowded. You won't be disappointed to stay here!!

Oh the view
We had a very relaxing time in Paradise. The sunrises were just gorgeous! We enjoyed tracking the ships and watching them off in the distance passing by. Dale was very responsive with any questions we had before and during our stay. Most of the local businesses were closed so we didn't do much exploring in town. We did go to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, which is a must see!

We had a really nice stay here. The view is amazing, the house was very clean and beautiful. The main bedroom upstairs is really nice. Great view from the seating area for sunrises, and also star gazing at night. Dale was a great host. He responded very quickly when we had questions. Would definitely recommend the Gitche Gummee Lodge! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your amazing house.

Very Scenic with Smoky Smell Inside House
Loved the views of Lake Superior throughout the house! We spent much of our time, while at the house, enjoying the view of the water. Nice place to relax and get away from stresses of everyday life. The falls at Tahquamenon Falls State Park are definitely worth a visit. They are very scenic and a short drive from the house For those of you considering staying here in the future, note that the nearest grocery store is approximately 30 - 45 minutes away. The town of Paradise is very small. It does have several restaurants if you decide to stay in for the day relaxing. Two major concerns about the house. One is the smoke smell residual that remained inside the entire time during our stay. It's evident that the previous renter started a fire in the fireplace during their stay. Unfortunately, the residual smell never left. It bothered both my wife and I during our stay. Fortunately, we were able to open up the house some while we were there. The other concern involved when we first arrived at the house. All downstairs windows, along with the backdoor, were open. I believe this was due to the fact they the housekeeper was trying to air out the house. The backdoor was very difficult to lock. The owner did inform me that this issue will be addressed this Fall. The house was not as clean as we have experienced elsewhere. Here again, the owner did state that they just switched housekeeping services.

Quick to respond
Dale, answered a couple of questions, very timely. Even gave us a heads up on a power outage that the power company was going to implement. So we altered our schedule. The sunrise was awesome, i have some great pics. In case people want to know, all of the red lights after sunset, are Canadian windmills. Gary

Great view
This is an adorable home with timeless and some modern touches. We stayed here as a home base in Paradise, to easily drive to Taquamenon falls and to see the bear ranch. The location was great. The serene private setting was just what we wanted. Waking up to the view of the lake was amazing. Be aware that there is no safe way down to the sand from the yard. The firepit was nice. We were able to walk up to a restaurant (though it is on a busy road). Overall a very good stay!

Making Memories
Our family of 5 had a wonderful week adventuring in the UP and it was made even more memorable by this beautiful cabin. Such a treat! We enjoyed waking up to the sunrises, hearing the waves crash on the rocks below, roasting marshmallows on the fire pit and playing games while cozied up on the big sectional. The property was clean, had everything we needed and the host was a great communicator.

Week of July 16th Stay
Camp Gichi Gummi was an awesome place to spend our vacation. Cabin was clean, cozy and very comfortable. Cooked many breakfasts and dinners in the kitchen which has almost everything we needed. But the porch was the star of the week. This is where many relaxing hours were spent reading, doing crossword puzzles and sipping our morning coffee as the waves of Superior lapped the shoreline. Evening campfires by the firepit were momorable and restful sleep came easy after our days in the UP. Beds were very comfortable. We would love to come back to this piece of Paradise again.

Amazing place in UP
We had an amazing time. The house is cute and comfortable. The views of Lake Superior are beautiful. The house was a great "home base" for many things in the eastern UP. We hope to be back. There is so much to explore. We were all sad to leave this place. We could have sat on the deck overlooking the lake for a long time. Great place to view stars and the moon rising! We hope to be back soon!

The house is very cute with an amazing lakefront view from deck. It was very peaceful and relaxing. We made great use of the outdoor firepit while enjoying the view and having fun with friends. We loved the place and the location. It was clean and had everything we needed to make some meals. During our stay we visited the falls, a couple lighthouses, the big spring, and pictured rocks.
