About this house rental

Experience the best of Michigan's Upper Peninsula from this stunning 3-bedroom waterfront retreat, uniquely positioned where the Big Iron River flows into Lake Superior. With panoramic views from a sprawling second-story wraparound deck, the Silver City Light House offers front-row seats to one of the most spectacular settings in the Great Lakes region.

The Space

This thoughtfully designed home sleeps 8 guests comfortably across 3 bedrooms and 4 beds, with 1.5 bathrooms. The heart of the home is the main living area that opens onto the magnificent wraparound deck—your private observation platform for freighter watching, sunset viewing, and taking in the endless blue expanse of Lake Superior.

Location Note: The Silver City Light House is conveniently located adjacent to the AmericInn by Wyndham Silver City, with private parking accessed from the hotel lot. This prime location means you're steps away from the hotel's restaurant and amenities while enjoying the privacy and space of your own vacation home. The property does boast a large yard for activies and a private fire pit to finish out the evening.

Your Million-Dollar View

Perched at the convergence of river and lake, you'll enjoy dual water frontage that's rare even in the UP. Watch the Big Iron River wind its way to Superior's shore, catch the evening light dancing across the waves, and witness the ever-changing moods of the world's largest freshwater lake. In the distance, the Porcupine Mountains create a dramatic backdrop to this stunning shoreline setting.

While the home offers a sense of peaceful seclusion with generous distance from foot traffic, guests should note that per Michigan law, the Lake Superior shoreline is public access. Hotel guests and beachgoers may occasionally walk along the beach, though the natural layout provides comfortable separation from the property.

The Silver City Light House Experience

After a day exploring waterfalls or hiking ridge trails, return to your wraparound deck to watch the sun set over Superior while the Big Iron River flows by below. Cook dinner in the well-equipped kitchen, gather in the living room, and let the rhythm of the lake lull you into the deep sleep that only comes from fresh UP air and outdoor adventure.

This is more than a vacation rental—it's your personal lighthouse to all the natural wonders of Michigan's wild western Upper Peninsula, with the convenience of nearby amenities and the privacy of your own waterfront home.

We are return guests, and we love this location and accommodations for a small group! Thank you!
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
Beautiful set up, but not really secluded. You do have a private balcony, but the Inn is in the same parking lot, so it is quite a bit crowded. The views and private space in the lighthouse was great. It was nice to be able to cook and chill after a long day of hiking. Perfect are for fishing, relaxing and hiking. There were a lot of lady bugs that needed to be taken care of, but apparently came with the aesthetic of the house. Not the best spot for yooperlites or cool rocks, but plenty of beauty nonetheless.

We had a difficult time getting the TV’s to work. I know why is it necessary to have TV accessible. We wanted ti watch college football. The American Inn came over and changed the cable that was not connected to the correct input from the previous renters?
6 / 10Average·Aug 2025
The location and views are outstanding! The bedding had blood stains like previous reviews noted. The shower head is super low in the shower. Some of the windows don't open and with only a few fans it made it difficult to circulate air to cool down the place. The large bedroom on the lower level had a smell to it. Housekeeping placed an air freshener in the room but it didn't completely mask the odor. There are lots of people along the shore near this property but only one time did I have to tell someone it was private property and they promptly moved to the shoreline. With some attention and updates this property could be AMAZING!
