Wonderful house right on Lake Superior

We had a winter retreat with friends on the north shore. This was the perfect place for our group. The house was in a great location, had everything we needed and had magnificent views of the lake. We loved the house and our host was very helpful and responsive. Thanks for the use of your house…

Great property for a mid-size group. We had 4 adults and 2 young children. The upstairs room has a trundle bed, that worked well for our young kids with us nearby and the other adults had their own spaces downstairs. There is not much yard, so kids played inside/on deck. There are stairs down to the lake, leading to some steep rocks. I wouldn't trust kids down there unsupervised. Big kitchen, great views, nice location. Right on the bike path, with easy access to Gooseberry and Split Rock by bike or Iona by foot.

Relaxing Getaway

Wonderful location and outdoors spaces along Lake Superior. Fun to watch boats and kayakers go by. We enjoyed cooking in the gourmet kitchen. Spacious house with the perfect bedrooms/great room/deck layout for a family gathering. We'd love to make it back again next year!

Great reunion

This is the perfect spot for a reunion. The house is large. It can accommodate a large number of people. There are several areas where you can sit to enjoy smaller conversations, and a large room where you can visit. Oh, the view is spectacular. The house is about 15 miles north of Two Harbors making for a quiet spot away from any towns. Betty’s Pies is about 10 miles away. It is a must lunch and pie spot.

Relaxing and gorgeous

Beautiful home! Sunrises, porch time, relaxation, perfect family getaway. Location is excellent. Very clean, spacious, all the essentials were provided, easy to arrive and do nothing more. We loved walking down by the water and getting our toes wet in the water. The weather was VERY hot when we visited, it was our fault for not realizing there was no AC. But there are a couple fans. We won’t hesitate to stay here again, everything was excellent! Owner was very responsive, excellent communication .

Family Holiday on the North Shore

This home exceeded all of our expectations and the online photos do not do it justice. Highlights of this home include: a master bedroom with a king bed, master bath, and an amazing view of Lake Superior. The master bath had a large walk in shower, tub, two sink areas, a separate toilet area, and a walk in closet. There were two other queen bedrooms, both near bathrooms and an upstairs that included a twin bed (separate area with a cute 'tent' design), king bed, crib, futon, full bath, and lots of seating options. The description lists it as a loft, but it's really an upstairs, that gives the guests full privacy. Favorite areas include the large living room with floor to ceiling windows that have a direct view of Lake Superior, comfortable seating for your entire family, and a gas fireplace. In addition, the open concept kitchen, large gas stove (worked great), frig, dishwasher, and a fully stocked kitchen, as well as the large family table were perfect for our group. The outside space was amazing, with an area for a campfire, steps down to the large rocks, a large deck area with seating, and a screened in porch (with an outdoor wine frig). There is a 3 stall garage that we didn't use but it was clean and would have been handy to use in the winter time. The location of this home is in between Split Rock Lighthouse and Gooseberry Falls -- so easy to get to both of these locations! Highly recommend!

We had a fabulous time on the North Shore! The house was beautiful and comfortable; we were able to enjoy outdoor spaces, the lovely views and we had adequate sleeping space inside as well. We were close to state parks, dining (about 15-20 minutes) and able to explore the area with ease. Would love to visit again! The pictures don't do the property justice.

Great Get-Away Weekend

This was my family's second stay at this property, and it didn't disappoint again. We all had a great time together from eat meals together to sitting outside on the decks either eating or enjoying the sun. The owners are very responsive and make you feel very welcome.

Very relaxing

We stayed here to celebrate a family birthday (70 something) coming from 3 different Midwest locations. House location offered many options for things to do and places to eat. At the house we enjoyed the campfire sitting area down by the lake, the screened porch, and the comfortable living area inside. Lots of space inside with comfortable bedrooms. One suggestion would be to have some outdoor chairs on the deck that would be a little easier to get in and out of. The white chairs on the deck were a bit hard for the older members of our group to use. The key box was finicky to open and mounted too low on the wall. These are minor issues. We enjoyed our stay and would readily come back again.
