Downtown Cottage (also known as Harbor Cottage)

Downtown Cottage is a charming, bright, one-level retreat located in the heart of Munising. This air-conditioned cottage offers comfortable, thoughtfully designed accommodations ideal for couples, friends, or small families looking to enjoy the best of town and nearby Lake Superior.

The cottage features two guest bedrooms with luxurious beds and quality bedding to ensure a restful night’s sleep. One bedroom offers a double bed, while the second includes a daybed with a pull-out trundle, comfortably sleeping up to four guests.

The fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, beautiful dinnerware, a dining area, and a lovely Lake Superior view. The cozy living room is tastefully furnished, creating a warm and inviting space to relax after a day of exploring.

Downtown Cottage can be rented on its own or together with the neighboring property, Doc’s Place. Originally designed as the guest cottage to Doc’s Place, each home now offers its own private space, separate entrance, and dedicated amenities when rented individually—making this an ideal option for families or groups who want to stay close while still enjoying their own space.

Step outside and enjoy the convenience of being within walking distance to Bayshore Park, where you can stroll the beach, watch boats in the harbor, or browse the local farmer’s market for fresh produce, baked goods, and wood-fired pizza prepared by local vendors. Dairy Queen is located just across the street, and Gallery Coffee & Event Space is an easy walk away. You’ll also find local breweries, food trucks, unique shops, art galleries, and seasonal events nearby, making it easy to explore Munising without needing your car.

Munising is the gateway to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, known for its dramatic sandstone cliffs, sea caves, waterfalls, and scenic Lake Superior shoreline. Popular activities include boat cruises, kayaking, hiking, waterfall exploration, beach walks, and scenic overlooks. The area also offers excellent snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and winter sightseeing during the colder months, making this a wonderful year-round destination.

The place was cute and cozy. It was very conveniently located too. Host did allow us an early check in which was helpful as we drove from lower MI and were estimating arrival and made better timing than we anticipated. Family loved the DQ across the street too.

Perfect location for exploring Pictured Rocks

My husband and 12 year old daughter stayed there for 3 nights while we explored Pictured Rocks. This is definitely a crash pad and worked well for getting a quick breakfast before going exploring.

Cute Cottage in Perfect Location

This cottage was perfect for me, my daughter and her dog. We had a great time, the house is well appointed and the location was perfect for us. We walked to our ride on the Pictured Rocks Boat Cruise and to restaurants. There are grocery stores in short driving distance. We highly recommend! Be advised that there is no washer/dryer (as advertised) and there are no laundromats nearby.

Cleanliness prevails. Absolutely clean throughout. Everything that 2 humans & their canine need. Location is ideal. Can easily walk to food, beverage, & local historical venues. Safe, quiet, and comfortable even though located on main thoroughfare. Highly recommend.

Clean, Comfortable, and Convenient

This property exceeded our expectations. Very tastefully decorated and thoughtfully furnished, this cottage was very comfortable and an easy base camp for our sight seeing activities. Everything we hoped to explore was close by. Communication with property management was always prompt and helpful, if needed. We give highest kudos for cleanliness. Not even a small problem for us, but others should be aware that the bedroom is small and that the lake view is limited. Note that neither of these stopped us from being extremely please with our stay in this very pleasant neighborhood cottage. We unreservedly give this place our highest recommendation.

The cottage was very nice and a good place to use as a base of operations. Parking was a little wonky but worked fine and the neighbors were very friendly when we asked to confirm we were ok. The cleanup instructions were just a bit over the top. We've never been asked to strip beds before. Overall, it was a nice place to stay while we visited this beautiful area!

Very cute cottage that suited our needs perfectly. We cooked meals inside and on the grill outside. We could walk two blocks to Pictured Rocks Cruises and a short drive to more than 3 waterfalls. We could park right near the entrance and keep our shoes in foyer to keep sand out. There was a park within walking distance for the kids. We would stay again.
