| Input | Weight | 0–100 | Points |
|---|---|---|---|

Why Eagle Harbor Is One of Michigan's Best Vacation Rental Markets
Eagle Harbor is a small market — 19 active listings — inside a wider catchment: about 47,565 within an hour, 213,403 within two, and 615,587 within three, with Duluth as the nearest metro. See the Keweenaw County hub. See Calumet as a neighboring market.
Market-wide averages across every listing — most of them self-managed by owner-operators, without professional pricing or multi-channel distribution — put annual revenue at about $48,650, the top quartile at about $61,480, and the top tenth at about $81,250. ROAM's full-service vacation rental management in Eagle Harbor applies dynamic pricing, multi-channel distribution, and professional operations. ROAM is also Michigan's data-driven alternative to Vacasa and Evolve.
The market scores 74 — a solid tier — with a gross yield of 23.54%, 17.4 points above the Michigan state yield of 6.1%. Occupancy runs 49.08%, 4.9 points below the Michigan benchmark; typical home value (Zillow index) is about $206,600. The Township Board requires a rental license, and Keweenaw County's countywide CUP also applies (effective July 1, 2024) — both approvals are needed; regulation status is moderate. Start with a revenue assessment.
Best Times to Rent Your Eagle Harbor Vacation Property
Eagle Harbor's revenue swings hard across the calendar: July, the peak month, brings in about 3.45 times what April, the trough month, generates. That gap means a rate that holds up in July would sit far off the mark in April, and flat year-round pricing leaves money on the table in both directions. Owners should expect to price the shoulder months differently than the peak. ROAM's approach applies dynamic pricing across the calendar.
