Stanley Lake. All Four Seasons.
Crescent Lakehouse is the Upper Peninsula's year-round retreat — 5 bedrooms across three levels, sleeping up to 12, on the shore of Stanley Lake in Iron River, Michigan. Whether you're chasing powder, perch, or pontoon weather, this is the basecamp.
WINTER
Ski Brule is minutes away — one of the Midwest's best-kept skiing secrets, with the longest season in the region. Iron Range Trail Club and Chippewa Sno-Kats trails run nearby for snowmobiling. Ice fish right out front. Snowshoe the property. Warm up by the fire after.
SPRING
Steelhead runs on the Brule River, morel hunting in the national forest, and the quietest shoulder rates of the year. The lake comes alive after ice-out.
SUMMER
The lake is yours. Swim off the dock, kayak the shoreline, fish for walleye and bass, raft up at sunset. Long days, warm nights, loons calling.
FALL
Color tour drives through the Ottawa National Forest. Grouse season opens September. Deer firearm season runs November 15–30 — bring the camp.
THE SPACE
Open great room with vaulted ceiling. An airy loft above doubles as a 5th sleeping area, teen hangout, or quiet reading nook. Full kitchen built for cooking together. Basement game room with foosball — perfect for rainy days, snowed-in nights, or just spreading out. Five bedrooms thoughtfully spread across the home for real privacy.
SLEEPING
Sleeps up to 12 across 5 bedrooms plus loft sleeping. Bring the whole family, the extended family, or a crew of friends.
GETTING HERE
Easy drive from Milwaukee (~5 hrs), Madison (~5.5 hrs), Green Bay (~3.5 hrs), Chicago (~7 hrs), and the Twin Cities (~5 hrs). Iron Mountain (IMT) is the closest commercial airport. Grocery and gas in Iron River. Ski Brule is a short drive.
BRINGING THE BOAT (OR THE DOG)
Boat and trailer parking available near the garage — $75 flat fee per stay, accommodates up to two trailers. Public boat launch on Stanley Lake just minutes away. Up to 2 dogs welcome with a $95/pet fee — we've got bowls, throws, and tips on the best dog-friendly trails in the area.
