A true piece of majestic grandeur on Lake Superior near the Porcupine Mountains. A stunning home nestled in a coastal boreal forest with full access to a private nature sanctuary and beach at the mouth of the Mineral River on Lake Superior! Eight hundred feet of frontage on the Mineral River, great for paddling and fishing and 400 feet of beach on Lake Superior, perfect for summer days with kids. No other homes are within sight anywhere on the property. This truly feels like your own private wilderness. There are newly constructed boardwalks and nature trails, making the beach and property easily accessible.
Located a stone's throw from the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park with a beach that continues for a quarter mile onto public land. Don't miss a stay at the most stunning accommodation in the region.
Guests will have full access to the entire house. Upstairs rooms have views of Lake Superior through the forest! This nature-themed eco-lodge has everything needed for a great vacation in the U.P. with a spectacular beach and access to the Mineral River, private nature trails, and boardwalks. A great place for kids and adults with 5 separate rooms with guest accommodation, plus common areas, 3 porches, and a gas Weber grill available for use. A 1/3 mile nature trail/boardwalk system through the enchanting forest and across swale wetlands was completed in spring 2020.
The kitchen has a large island with three chairs for additional dining, an electric stove, a large microwave, a dishwasher, and a full-size fridge. The cupboards are fully stocked with dishes, dish towels, pots, pans, utensils, and silverware - pretty much everything you would need for meal prep/cooking, including a coffee pot. Eco-friendly dish soap will be provided. An upstairs bunk bed with some toys for kids makes it great for families. A closet with games and additional toys and two spacious living areas downstairs are ideal for low-key social events and family gatherings. However, large gatherings, such as weddings, are not allowed on the property due to possible impacts on the driveway, septic, and beach.
Bonus: a shipwreck sits just offshore within easy reach of experienced kayakers and paddleboarders.
This is very private! No houses/neighbors can be seen from the residence or anywhere on the property. The house is a short walk (100 ft) from your own slice of sandy beach in a coastal boreal forest which is contiguous with the most beautiful beach in the Porcupine Mountains with natural sand dunes. Only minutes from Lake of the Clouds and countless beautiful hikes and waterfalls in the state park, the Ottawa National Forest and beyond! There are plenty of restaurants and a few stores about a mile away in Silver City, yet when you are here it certainly feels like the wilderness with the continuous roar of Gitche Gumee.
