ABOUT THE LAKE:
Hagerman Lake is located in Iron County, MI – less than 2 miles from the WI border. As an “all-sports recreational lake”, it’s one of the favorite lakes in the area. Measuring about 1 ¾ miles long and just under a mile wide, and with a maximum depth of 55’, there’s plenty room for your favorite activities. Fishing is great – summer or winter. Bluegill, Northern Pike, Rock Bass and Walleye are plentiful. Traffic is relatively low – even on holiday weekends. For a little slower pace, we have a canoe available for your use. The boat launch, beach, and park are a mile to the South. Should you want to bring your boat, the suspended dock is available for your exclusive use.

18' Pontoon boat w/ 50HP Mercury outboard also available for rent @ $750/week. Boat comes equipped with all necessary gear, including life jackets, and will be waiting at the dock - fueled & ready to go. Please Inquire.

Are you a water-skier? Depending on my availability, we may be able to offer you an early morning or evening ski session behind our classic Ski Nautique. You would need your our equipment. Please inquire. :)

10 miles to downtown Iron River, MI. 25 miles to Crystal Falls, MI. 30 miles to Eagle River, WI.

PARKING: Plenty of room for 3 - 4 vehicles on the paved driveway. Overflow parking for trucks and trailers available in the the adjacent lot. Boat trailers, snowmobile trailers, campers welcome.

ATTRACTIONS:
8 miles to Ski Brule. Less than 1 mile to Covenant Point Bible Camp. 19 miles to George Young's Golf-Recreation-Dining. 30 miles to Northern Waters Casino in Watersmeet, MI.

Snowmobilers Welcome: Under 2 miles to Trail 15.

Centrally located, most of the UP’s ‘Must See’ daytrips are within reach: Bond Falls (40 miles), The Paulding Mystery Light (35 miles), Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (145 miles), Lake of the Clouds (90 miles), Kitch-Iti-Kipi “The Big Spring” (150 miles), Tahquamenon Falls (225 miles).

A little closer, The Ge-Che Trail begins at the Lake Ottawa Recreation Area boat landing (3 miles). There are nine miles of hiking trail between Lake Ottawa and Hagerman Lake. The Bennan Lake loop (2 miles) and the Ge-Che loop (2.5 miles) are the most popular summer loops. Brule Lake: Brule Lake has a stateline historic site, a one-half mile recreation trail to historical Treaty Tree and the Wisconsin/ Michigan overland border. There is parking at the Brule Lake picnic grounds (4 miles).

SECURITY DEPOSIT: I utilize a $59 non-refundable insurance policy through VRBO which covers up to $1500 in property damage. If you'd prefer a more traditional $500 refundable security deposit, please ask me to modify a pre-approval BEFORE booking.

Wonderful Get Away!

Blake was an awesome host! If you have the chance to rent the pontoon you most definitely should! The lake is incredible and so peaceful. I will let everyone know, this lake is pretty far away from any attractions. But if you’re looking for something peaceful, this is it! Great stay and will definitely suggest this to friends and family and may stay again myself!

Perfect getaway

This was the perfect lake house for my best man and I to get away a couple weeks before my wedding. The house was cozy, comfortable, and super clean. Check in was smooth and Blake was helpful as a host. The lake itself is perfect to swim in. We loved our stay.

Great Spot All Around!!!

My family and I visited for nearly a week. Blake was a tremendous host. He more than accommodated us. The host was very nice and clean! Around 25 steps to the dock but well built. The dock is awesome to fish from and use for boats. Will definitely stay there again!!!

Blake is a wonderful host! It’s a beautiful home and everything was so well laid out. We had a very quick trip (too short) and we were wishing we could stay longer. We would love to go again in a heartbeat.

Well appointed cottage

Blake’s cottage was a lovely place to stay while in the area for a family reunion/birthday celebration. Three of us stayed there and found it perfect for our needs. The kitchen is the best kitchen I have ever experienced in a vacation rental — quality cookware, storage pieces, and that rarest of rare items: sharp knives. Communication with Blake was seamless, and having the pontoon at our disposal was an extra treat. We’re already planning another stay here next summer.

Family Ski Weekend!

Property is still having updates being done but some of the best features are the old things about this place paired with the modern features its a really comfortable cabin with plenty of space for family to spread out. We walked out on the lake I can imagine what a true gem this place would be in the summer. Ski Brule is only a few minutes away and Iron River is a close as well. Our family had a great time.
