These Northern Michigan Airbnbs Showcase the State's Adventurous Side

Best Michigan Airbnbs in Upper Peninsula

Stunning 1850s Eagle River Lighthouse

You can’t get more unique than this lighthouse Airbnb in Michigan. Before being transformed into a pad for travelers, Eagle River Lighthouse would guide ships along Lake Superior’s Keweenaw coastline. As the light has since been decommissioned, you can enjoy your vacation free of lighthouse keeper duties. Bask in the glory of Lake Superior from the patio or hit the local snowmobile and cycling trails as per the season.

There’s a cast iron wood stove in the lounge to keep you toasty during winter while direct lake access puts wild swimming at the top of the agenda for summer. This UP Michigan Airbnb is a 20-minute drive from Marquette and 30 minutes from Munising.

“Valo” house with Lake Superior views

Valo means “light” in Finnish and we can’t think of a more suitable name for this luxurious Airbnb for couples. Strategic windows allow the light to pour into the space and you can see the lake from the couch or upper-level coffee and book nook. The loft bedroom is attached to a bathroom with a deluxe Jacuzzi bathtub. In the (unlikely) case you tire of the views, a piano is tuned and at your disposal.
