Do you know that you can stay in a lighthouse in Michigan? It’s safe to say that if you’re a tried-and-true Michigander, you’ve likely got an appreciation for lighthouses. Some of our favorites include Big Sable Point Lighthouse, Crisp Point Lighthouse, and I can’t leave out Holland Harbor Light aka “Big Red.” These unique and useful structures have long played a role in our state’s maritime heritage, guiding vessels atop the Great Lakes for generations. If you’re especially fascinated by lighthouses, though, there’s one lodging in Eagle River that will help you take your admiration to another level. When you’re in the mood for a grand adventure, be sure to book a stay at this lighthouse Airbnb in Michigan. 

Tucked away in the community of Eagle River, Michigan is an 1850s lighthouse Airbnb. If you’ve never ventured to this region of the Upper Peninsula, you’ve been missing out. Situated on the gorgeous Keweenaw Peninsula, Eagle River offers breathtaking access to the shores of Lake Superior.

The Airbnb itself is no exception, as it provides some of the most marvelous lakefront views imaginable. After all, the lighthouse was fully operational between 1855 and 1909, when it entered private ownership.

Today, overnight guests will have the opportunity to appreciate lovingly restored and updated accommodations while basking in the historic charm that comes with visiting such a structure. With three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and room for up to six overnight guests, the lighthouse is roomy and comfortable.

Climb into the original lighthouse tower to gaze out on Lake Superior and the lovely Eagle River. As you settle into this unique space, you might just find yourself pondering what life would be like as a lightkeeper.

Cook a delicious meal in the amenity-filled on-site kitchen or venture into the charming community of Eagle River for a bite to eat. Whether you’re here for a family trip or a romantic getaway, you’ll be enamored.
