Our Story

The Upper Peninsula has always been our home away from home. What started as weekend getaways quickly became a deep love affair with this untouched corner of North America.

When we first discovered our property on Lake Superior, we knew we had found something special. Captain's Hideaway was more than just a dream come true—it was our chance to create a sanctuary where families could disconnect from the everyday hustle and reconnect with what truly matters.

Now, we're thrilled to share this slice of paradise with fellow adventurers and families seeking their own unforgettable Lake Superior experience.

Why We Love What We Do

There's something magical about watching families create memories against the backdrop of Lake Superior's endless horizon. Whether it's kids building their first sandcastles on our private beach or couples sharing quiet moments watching the sunset paint the sky in brilliant oranges and purples.

The Upper Peninsula offers outdoor enthusiasts of all genres a chance to experience the untouched grace of North America, where a rich tapestry of ecology, topography, and landscape unfolds in a mesmerizing display.

Our mission is simple: to provide you with the same sense of wonder and peace that drew us to this special place. We hope that extending our retreat to you will offer you the chance to check out from the everyday and truly take it all in.
