Enjoy 100' of private lakefront area to swim, kayak, or just relax with a glass of wine and watch a fabulous sunset over Eagle Harbor!

    The owners have successfully rented "Arbor Cottage" VRBO for past 10 years. They have recently moved downstairs into the original cottage (winter 2025) and are now renting their private LOFT (remodeled for 2025 season). They live downstairs (w/ separate entrance) and are available for any assistance and local information for guests of the LOFT.

    *Please note: the Russell's also purchased another cottage, "Lille Cottage" ~ fully renovated (retro style) and opened June 15, 2017 (vrbo 1060002). Lille Cottage is also available for rental and located on the border of Fish Creek and Ephraim (across from Hwy "A" entrance of Peninsula State Park).
