Mornings start with Lake Superior stretching to the horizon from your bed. Days fill up fast — kayaking the private shoreline, hiking to Tahquamenon Falls at peak snowmelt, hunting Yooperlites along the beach after dark with a UV flashlight, watching raptors ride the spring migration north over Whitefish Point. Evenings wind down around the firepit with the kind of silence you only find this far into the UP. And on the right night, the Aurora Borealis lights up Whitefish Bay in a way that stops every conversation cold.
