Michigan Getaways

Item Description

Step back in time...

and discover Michigan's best kept secret. Renovated as a bed and breakfast on the magnificent Keweenaw Peninsula, Sand Hills Lighthouse Inn welcomes you to a memorable experience. Furnished in Victorian charm, this historic building summons you with an original lens and nautical lighthouse artifacts, as well as many antiques, oil paintings and photographs.

Sand Hills Lighthouse, listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, is the largest and last manned lighthouse built on the great lakes. It is located 25 miles northeast of Houghton, Michigan, on the Keweenaw Peninsula's north shore. 

From the Moment...

you arrive at Sand Hills Lighthouse Inn, Lighthouse Keepers Bill & Mary Frabotta welcome you to the home of their dreams. Capturing a Victorian spirit, the common-room and dining areas will invite you to cozy up by the fireplace with a good book, or linger on the rich leather couches for some old-fashioned conversation or piano music. From its ornate crown mouldings to the hand-tooled walls and staircase balustrade, no detail for beauty and comfort is spared. Air conditioning and hydronic heat are just two of the many updated luxuries. A trip to the top of the lighthouse tower is certain to be a highlight of your stay at Sand Hills.

Each of the eight lovely rooms features a king or queen-sized bed and private bathroom. Two rooms have whirlpool bathtubs and a balcony overlooking Lake Superior.

During your stay you may catch the sun both rising and setting over Lake Superior, or see Mother Nature's other light show - the spectacular Northern Lights.

Sand Hills Lighthouse Inn offers a perfect getaway for anyone wanting to unwind and be pampered, and it has become a favorite among honeymooners and anniversary couples. But whatever the reason, you will be sure to treasure the memories of your stay at Sand Hills.
