A working, historic lighthouse is included! The Middle Island Light Station was built in 1905. It stands seventy-six-feet-tall, and the light has a 14-mile range.
It's maintained by the Coast Guard and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. Check out that view!
According to the listing, "views from the lighthouse are unobstructed 360 degrees above of Lake Huron."
As far as lodging, there's a Lighthouse keepers two-story red brick double dwelling with a new roof and 12 rooms at various stages of renovation - so yes, it needs some work... but still, that's a lot of space!
In addition, the Fog Signal building has been converted into a lodge that sleeps 10.
