Welcome to Hog
Island Country Store & Cottages
Tucked away just 35 miles west of
the Mackinac Bridge on U.S. 2 and the big blue of Lake
Michigan, travelers will find a neat white row of
cottages and a cozy country store.
Opening the door to the store is like stepping back in
time. Owners Tom and Sandy Jacobs invite you to browse the
many unique Upper Peninsula items that can be found there,
from homemade jams and jellies, smoked fish, pasties and
just about anything else a weary — or thirsty —
traveler may need.
But the charm of the store is just a hint of what can be
found here.
Right next to the store are six
neat clapboard cottages. The cottages have hosted
families since the 1940's, when Nash Ramblers roamed
the roads. Today the remodeled cottages have minivans
and SUVs parked next to them, but the charms remain.
Complete with all the modern ammenities, they provide
a family-friendly atmosphere. Visitors make the
cottages their Upper Peninsula homes away from home as
they explore the area. But there's more — a
hidden, private treasure just a few short steps away.
A quick walk takes you to a private, sandy curl of Lake
Michigan beach. The mile-long stretch of sandy, shallow
water, framed by whispering pines, is perfect for wading,
swimming, sand castle building and moonlit walks. Or just
long, lazy days of toes-in-the-sand relaxation.
So give us a call today to share our little slice of Hog
Island heaven.
