About
This location offers a truly distinctive overnight experience at a preserved Cold War-era radar station spanning 100 acres in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. The property features over 70 original structures, including a historic bomb shelter and the region's tallest radar platform, which provides breathtaking views of three sides of Lake Superior. Guests staying on Wednesday or Saturday can enjoy a complimentary guided tour filled with fascinating Cold War history and stories about the preservation efforts underway at this once-restricted military site.
The setting is remarkably peaceful and serene, with guests consistently praising the quiet, tranquil atmosphere and exceptional stargazing opportunities thanks to minimal light pollution. Level parking areas accommodate RVs and campers with ease, and the elevated location offers stunning vantage points for viewing the northern lights and the surrounding Keweenaw Peninsula landscape. The dark skies create ideal conditions for observing the night sky on clear evenings.
This location is uniquely positioned as a base for exploring the broader region, with nearby fishing opportunities just two miles away and access to snowmobile and side-by-side trails. Notably, the property offers reliable 5G service—a rarity in this remote area—making it practical for guests needing connectivity. The site represents an ongoing preservation project, and guests are invited to support its mission through donations that directly support restoration and enhancement efforts.
