Our hermitage is used as a retreat center by zen monks & students of the Detroit Zen Center half the year. We consider this hermitage & land a refuge. Wildlife abounds. Our favorite place is the Bonanza Falls -- wide long waterfalls 1/2 mile from our door on the Big Iron River. The Hermitage: 3,100 sq. ft. 3 levels (2 story plus lower level walkout). The entrance opens into a spacious common area: An open living room, dining room & kitchen with large picture windows, 4 sliding glass doors onto the patio, wood stove & smart TV. High-speed wifi throughout. New washer & drier. Kitchen stocked with all you will need. I am a plant based cook and use the kitchen a lot so it has what it needs! Bedroom 1: At the back of the main floor is the master bedroom with its own woodstove and sitting area with a picture window overlooking the land. A marble tiled main floor bathroom w tub and shower is next to the master bedroom. Bedrooms 2 & 3: Upstairs are 2 bedrooms. Please note that one is a semi-private room that sits at the top of the stairs (so it is open to the top of the stairwell and leads to the 3rd bedroom). It has a bed & desk & large closet. This leads into a separate private spacious bedroom, with a king bed, another full bed, & a sunny deck. Bedroom 4: The lower level full walk-out is bright, with a sitting room, a private bedroom, a full bathroom. It also has a deck that opens to a grassy knoll, swinging chair, and the path to the lake. Living Room has a pull out sofabed. In addition, the sitting room is equipped with large mats on top of custom built meditation platforms, that can be used as beds if needed for 2 people. Our land is rolling and lovely. The hermitage sits on a hill looking down toward Lake Superior. The shoreline is rocky but accessible. We have some chairs and tables there, and a firepit. The sauna (and two woodstoves) are woodfired. We are happy to provide wood but ask folks to buy some if they use a lot. If guests will be using the stoves or sauna a discussion orientation is required. The town of Ontonagon is 12 miles east, with shopping, dining, hospital, etc. We are located in Silver City. There is spotty cell service in the area, but our entire hermitage has high speed wifi. Make sure to download a map since GPS may go out near our place. Please note that during the summer guests must be diligent about not leaving any food around, or in their cars. There are a lot of black bear in this area! Although bear attacks are all but unheard of, they should never be fed, or have access to trash or food! Guest access Parking is in front of the hermitage or on the driveway in at the side. Please do not park in front of the garage (it is locked) as our well is just there, and we should not be driving over the well. Guests have full access to the entire hermitage, sauna, shoreline, land & amenities. Other things to note The kitchen has an insta-pot, blender, high quality coffee maker, toaster, microwave, gas stove-oven & dishwasher. Entrance is a code. We have Roku with lots of sports channels, HBO, TCM, Youtube TV and more. Like all homes in the area we are on a septic system, so please do not flush a lot of toilet paper at once. We have high speed wifi that works very well.
