See our website for more information and links to all sorts of sites and activities nearby:
Www.lakesuperiorrental.com. You won’t be disappointed.

Nestled on the southern shore of Lake Superior, Jarven Hytti is a luxury experience at an affordable price. The private setting provides beautiful views of the lake and its pink-sand agate beach. Not your typical north woods cabin, the architect-inspired Finnish style beach house is spectacular. It comfortably sleeps 8 persons. And, the two modern ,tidy bathrooms comfortably accommodate its guests. A modern, fully-equipped kitchen , a large family room with a stone fireplace, comfortable bedrooms and fireplace on the deck all add to the cozy , functional, vacation home. Luxury linens and native dwarf lake irises round out a truly wonderful getaway setting. Off the beaten track, near the Porcupine Mountain Wilderness/ , Jarven Hytti is the perfect base camp for your upper peninsula / Lake Superior adventure. Spring and summer . Get cozy in front of the fire.

SUSTAINABILITY, THE WETLAND AND THE SHORE
JärvenHytti was designed with the input and approval of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and the Army Corps of Engineers. Every effort has been made to protect the adjacent wetland ( with its natural flora and fauna ) and the shoreline.

DOGS WELCOME. BUT, PLEASE REMEMBER THE DOG FEE. IT REALLY DOES REQUIRE MORE CLEANING TO MAKE JÄRVEN HYTTI SPIC ‘N SPAN FOR THE NEXT GUESTS.

Occasionally renters ask “why an additional nightly charge for each guest over the first two?” We are sure you understand , as with any household, additional residents add to the costs of operation. Scavenger services( charged by-the-bag), septic service( more pumping) ,laundry (sheets and towels) , utilities ( water, electricity) , cleaning services, general wear-and-tear and other overheads increase with the number of occupants. While most rentals are to groups of two, it would be unfair to price the basic nightly rate to prorate the additional costs associated with larger-group stays. Thank you for understanding.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Everything and more!

We got a later start to our day then we had hoped for so we knew we would be arriving well after the check in time. Check in was a breeze though! We had fresh homemade blueberry crepes waiting for us in the fridge to just reheat, which was a great since we didn't have a chance to do much shopping yet. We ate them for breakfast the next morning in front of the outdoor fireplace and they were delicious! They also made some sweet potato treats for our pup that he loooved! The walk to the beach was not far away from the property and filled with flowers and trees giving off the most beautifully fresh smells. The deck and firepit were at the top of the rocks going down into the beach area breaking the area up nicely incase you didn't want to get splashed, and just hangout by the firepit. Falling asleep to the waves was a huge bonus too! This was exactly what we were looking for and more. I suggest doing any grocery shopping before you get into the area because the closest store had some pretty bad reviews and the only other close option was the dollar general. Their selection wasn't bad and came in handy. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and have already suggested the property to some friends looking for a relaxing trip.

Upon arrival at our beautiful cabin we were suprised by the delicious treat of a homemade rhubarb cake and freshly made whipped cream. Also homemade treats for the dogs. We had an fantastic time combing the beach for seaglass and rocks. The cabin exceeded our expectations. It was very clean, cozy everything we needed was supplied. Campfires by the beach with smores and beautiful sunsets with family. Would recommend this cabin to everyone looking for relaxation on beautiful Lake Superior.

Amazing location

This was a great location right on Lake superior and it had a lovely walkway to the beach. The house was very comfortable and I really enjoyed the fireplace since it was colder than expected during my visit. If you’d like to walk on the beach, I would highly recommend this location.

Offseason Getaway

My partner and I planned a quick birthday celebration getaway. The property was as described and very enjoyable. We found it to be quiet but not too remote. We loved the fireplace and the cozy vibe. It’s immediately apparent a lot of care, planning and love went into the home. The proximity to the Porcupine Mountains is perfect. There are so many options for destinations for day trips as well. We loved it and hope to come back sometime soon. Highly recommend!

The best of the forest and the water! Right along the shore of Lake Superior and tucked in the sounds of the wild, it’s such a convenient location with a beautiful view. The Scandinavian atmosphere and treatment is most evident, we felt truly like guests. Our Labrador had a most wonderful stay as well. We are grateful for the opportunity to bring him along. We loved it all!

Enjoyable Even In a Blizzard

It was a wonderful home to enjoy winter. Beautiful lake ice to go look at from the decks. The house was done well enough to not howl in the fierce winds. So close to the park I could ski in the mornings, come back for lunch then go right back there rested.Because I don’t snowmobile I’m glad the tracks weren’t right on the property. We saw hundreds out and about but never heard or smelled one at the house.

I absolutely loved our stay. This is the one time we rented a house that looked lovely in the photos and was even better in person! I would move in. I was with my teen daughter, exchange student, and one of their friends for a ski weekend. We were all very impressed and very cozy and comfortable. It had everything we needed and was conveniently located to all we wanted to do.This was a great stay and I highly recommend!

Lake Superior getaway

We had an unforgettable stay at this charming VRBO on Lake Superior in Michigan. The cozy indoor fireplace was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The Christmas decorations made it feel even more magical, and we were so happy that we could bring our two dogs along to enjoy the getaway with us. We loved walking outside in the fresh snow, taking in the serene winter landscape. The highlight of our trip was when my then boyfriend, now fiancé, proposed to me right there—truly a romantic and wonderful experience. We can’t wait to return!
