Historic Coast Guard station on Keweenaw Bay, walking distance to beach!
Come stay at the "Powerhouse" (the 1 story house in the middle of the 3 houses) in historic White City, built in the 1930ās to supply electricity for the lighthouse thatās a short walk down the breakwater. The Powerhouse was converted into a residence and sits on a secluded 16 acre property with 2 other houses; The Captain's house and The Duplex, which used to house the lightkeepers.
Youāll find beautiful White City Beach and a free public boat launch both only a 5 minute walk from the house. One main attraction thatās in view from the house is the Keweenaw Waterway Lower Entry Lighthouse. White City is definition of a relaxing environment with tons of activities to keep everyone occupied. Pull up a chair on the breakwater and take in the views of Keweenaw Bay (Lake Superior) or grab a fishing pole. Drop in your kayak or one of our canoes at the house and take a paddle in the miles of backwaters north of the house.
Just a side note, we are quite far from the nearest supermarket (30 min.) please make sure you pack everything you need to eat/drink unless you have time to run to the store.
You can also jump in the car for an hour ride to Copper Harbor where youāll find beautiful views and small shops to satisfy your touristy needs. Copper Harbor is known around the Midwest for its mountain biking with rental bikes available. If you're looking to relax, have fun and see everything that the UP of Michigan has to offer please come stay in our one of a kind property.

Best property Iāve stayed at
If you love the water it does not get any better than this property. We enjoyed the house, the old boardwalk, the beach and the fishing so much. We will definitely be back next year. My son and I caught giant smallmouth bass right off the dock. The fishing was so good it made it difficult to want to do anything else. I really enjoyed learning about the history of this place, very cool.

Experiencing History
Very comfortable, cozy stay in a historical house. So fun to walk to the lighthouse and the beach. Our son was able to drive over from Houghton to visit in less than 40 minutes. We had a nice dinner at the restaurant in Dreamland. Our daughter and golden retriever enjoyed the little swimming area and the beach. We took the canoes out on Sunday afternoon and enjoyed exploring the little islands in the Portage- complete with shipwrecks.

Wonderful
We stayed with our family of 6. 2 adults and 4 kids ages 6-12. There was plenty of room for everyone. We absolutely loved the historic nature of the rental. It was so fun that our front sidewalk (pier) led straight to the lighthouse and beach down the way. Beautiful sunsets each night, this place felt like a home away from home.

Loved it!
This was our 3rd year staying at this property. We have stayed for a week each time. We love the location and the wonderful views! There is a place to fish off the breakwall, a shallow area for little kids swimming and the ability to walk from the property to the lighthouse. So much fun! The only negative was the owner has asked to stay at the property (in a separate house) every year for the last weekend we are there. Its been fine but def takes away the feeling of privacy. But overall a wonderful place to stay with beautiful views of boats going by and peaceful views of the water! Would def stay again!

Great Place to Stay
Communication was excellent. Picture perfect place for a relaxing summer vacation. Fishing off the dock; quick, private walk to the beach and lighthouse. Fully stocked with everything you need for cooking and cleaning, you only need to provide the food. Single bathroom was not an issue for our family of 6, including 3 teenage girls.

Paradise.
My second time staying at the former Coast Guard Station.
My first time was totally wonderful. It was everything I'd hoped for. The location could not be improved in any way and all the parts of the stay made it a success.
My second time there was like coming home. The view, the water, the sky, the wildlife all brought smiles to my face each day I opened the door to look at the view. I just cannot explain to anyone considering a stay there how special the house is. In a nutshell - I wish it were mine so I could be there forever.

Quiet and beautiful
Very cute house with water access for canoes or kayaks into a channel that quickly leads to Lake Superior. Well stocked with kitchen needs (cleaning supplies, pots/pans, plastic bags and foil). Short walk down the road or along the breaker wall to a sandy beach of Lake Superior. Everyone enjoyed the stay and wish we could have stayed longer. 20 - 30 minute drive away from nearest town but worth it.

Cute place to stay
My family (including our dogs) had a lovely time staying here. Although I only got a single bite all week, it was very peaceful and the beach was a short walk away. The house was clean and had everything we could want for amenities. Overall it was an excellent experience.

Great set up for our dog
This property worked out so well for our dog which made it great for us. The beach was a short walk away so our dog could swim with us multiple times a day. We could not watch television programs but it worked out. We kept busy, watched a few DVDs and brought a play station. Very peaceful.

Truly the perfect week. This is such a comfortable place with amazing water and sky views. Our only complaint was that our week went by too quickly. Next time we will try and stay longer!

Awesome Stay
Property was exactly as described. A little off the grid (that we desired) but within easy driving to anything we wanted or needed. Kristin's communication was great! Complete and accurate. Very helpful tips. Little things like being 30 minutes from grocery store helped us plan accordingly. We stopped on the way in and picked up what we needed for that evening and next morning.
Followed recommendation on some of the places to dine and all were great experiences. Being right on the water, able to watch boats go up and down the waterway, walking distance to the beach (that the dogs absolutely loved) and the lighthouse really made it difficult to want to go out anywhere else.
Accommodations were clean, organized, comfortable and everything we needed was there. Even had an opportunity to take the available canoe out for a little paddle around the bay. We had two separate visits from an Eagle one day, a third visit another day, saw an otter near the dock, and even got a little bit of experience with seeing the northern lights.
If you like quiet, reasonable isolation away from the tourist, yet reasonably close to many attractions, this is the place!

Tranquility and relaxation.
We live off the beaten path and do not need to be entertained. This was perfect for us. A beautiful beach a short walk away and a large yard provided all the āentertainmentā our family, including four grandchildren, needed. It was so nice, we didnāt want to leave to explore the surrounding area as we had planned. There are short soft cover books with fascinating history of the immediate area including Jacobsville and White City. The house was very well stocked with everything we needed. Even sharp knives and cutting boards.
Kristin is a generous host who responded quickly to questions.

Keweenaw Power House was delightful
This was the perfect get-away for a pair of retired introverts looking to relax in privacy with peace and quiet. White City Beach is a beautiful gem that seems largely undiscovered! We had it to ourselves most of the time. The house itself is comfortable and well outfitted. Be forewarned, however, that it is remote, and anything else you want to do (restaurants, groceries, ice, beverages, etc.) requires a good drive out. But if you want to come stocked up with all you need, this is a great place to land. The sunsets are amazing!

The house has everything we needed plus the view and location were ideal. We ended up staying put a couple days just to enjoy the place. The beach is short walk and wow! Sand and sun. Also could swim and canoe right off the property. Loved it.

Great Stay in White City
This property is a gem! It was about 0.5 miles to the White City Beach, which was fabulous and never crowded! Several times we had the whole place to our selves!. The Powerhouse was well stocked with amenities. We were able to cook or grill out as needed. (a gas grill and charcoal grill were available) There was plenty of space to spread out and the full-size washer and dryer was a bonus. The was no internet or cable, but we didn't notice being unplugged for the week. :) Stargazing was amazing! This is a great place to relax and recharge! Thank you for a great stay.

Perfect lake getaway!
My family and I stayed at this updated lake house just a few steps away from the beach on Keweenaw Bay. We quickly felt at home, were provided with everything we needed, and my boys of course loved the bunk beds! We enjoyed our beach visits as it was never overcrowded, as well as our day trips to Houghton and Copper Harbor. The Chutes and Ladders playground was a huge hit. We loved the food we ordered from the local restaurants. Communication with the owner and the property itself were simply top-notch.

3rd Season!!!
This was our 3rd visit to the powerhouse.
We brought my son and family , six of us and 2 dogs. There was plenty of room especially with the new bunk beds, the kids had a fantastic time at the beach, fishing and just playing.. The adults made good use of the new blender!š.
The house is very secluded just some light park traffic.
As always itās hard to leave.
We packed the truck and were ready.to go but my furry friend had other ideas, he trotted off to the swimming area , put his paws in then ran around the yard a few times rolling in the grass then laid down.by the front steps.
I assured him weād be back!!!
Perfect vacation!š we love this place!

Laid back week in the Keweenaw
Loved our visit here. The powerhouse is a very cool VRBO where you can relax and spend some time at the public beach that is a short walk from the house or you can just sit on the front porch and watch all the boats coming in and out of the channel. We also spent our week exploring the Keweenaw Peninsula. Our kids loved splashing in the river at the Tobacco River Park and the white sand beach at Brunette park and the falls at Haven Falls. We spent an afternoon exploring the Delaware Mine and the old mining buildings above the mine.
And we enjoyed nice meals at the Dreamland bar & grill (up the road from the powerhouse), at Caremlita's in Calumet, and at the Mariner in Copper Harbor.

Amazing place!
We had a great time during our stay! We really loved being right on the water and enjoyed beautiful sunsets numerous evenings. We loved watching the bald eagles flying around, and our dog really enjoyed his daily walks to the nearby beach, as well as the spacious yard. There is lots to do in the Keweenaw peninsula, but it is going to be a drive to get to most if it. But this was a great location to relax and unwind, to enjoy some fishing and the water. The owner responded promptly with any questions we had, which was much appreciated. This was a fantastic place that exceeded my expectations and I would not hesitate to come back again.
