200’ of your own private accessible Lake Superior Shore: Stony Shores Retreat


Looking for privacy? Welcome to Stony Shores Retreat!

Walk down to Lake Superior’s shores on the wide mowed path from the lakeside of the house to the secluded shoreline area. A small lane along the edge of the property allows you to drive down if you prefer. You can even take your canoe/kayak down and launch right from the shore. A large mowed open lawn close to the lakeshore says “come play”; you have the whole 200’ of Lake Superior frontage for your private enjoyment! Adjoining properties are privately owned and the lakeshore is not public property, so please do not trespass on neighbors’ lakeshore. There is a fire-pit and chairs down by The Lake for those evening campfires. NOTE: Because of the uneven surface of stones frequently tossed up by the Lake storms, use the lakeshore “beach” and fire-pit at your own risk. As always, use caution when walking on loose and uneven stone surfaces if venturing off the mowed lawn area.

Build a campfire, have a picnic, pitch a tent, bring and set up your favorite lawn games, hunt for agates, gaze at a trillion stars (who will spot the first shooting star?), catch the meteor showers, watch the full moon rise over the Lake...or just sit contentedly and contemplate the wonders of nature. Life is good. Brilliant sunrises, gentle waves, wildlife visitors, screeching eagles perched high in the shoreline trees, a variety of birds and even calling/dancing loons and white pelicans are all frequent sights. Living On The Big Lake offers something different every day.

And if you can drag yourself away from the close-up lure of Mother Superior there is a house too! A newly remodeled rustic coastal retreat with large floor to ceiling patio doors across the back looking out at Lake Superior. (Please be cautious as these patio doors do open but there is no step or deck adjoining the home at these doors). The home has all hardwood floors, wood burning fireplace, fully equipped open kitchen with island, TWO remodeled bathrooms, three bedrooms, deck and patio.

With this kind of unrivaled access to the Lake Superior shore, you may want to spend the entire stay reconnecting with loved ones and nature. But if you do wish to explore the area further, you are close to so much the North Shore has to offer.

Beautiful spot for my wedding party to all stay at, the beach was amazing, rooms were very nicly sized with plenty of space to hang out together inside and outside, breathtaking views of the lake with massive sliding glass doors to take in the view. Easy entry to the house, host was quick to answer any questions before our check in. I never wanted to leave! I will be coming back again!

Great location (private and a beautiful location on the lake). Nice home but it’s showing some ware. Loved the oversized sliding doors that let in a breeze and view of the lake.

Had an amazing stay at this property with my family. A perfect location on the North Shore. The house has an open floor plan which was amazing and it had such a great view of Superior. The kitchen was well equipped and perfect for making our own meals. The beds were very comfortable as well. Spent a lot of time on the beach relaxing and agate hunting. Overall it was a great experience.

Excellent Lake Exposure

House presents itself directly to the lake, which is the main draw for me. Kitchen is very functional, ample furniture, and the fire pit patio is awesome.The house added a water purifier since my last visit. That was a major upgrade and enhancement to the stay.

Stunning private lot on Lake Superior

Large private property with a huge backyard for the kids to play and a very private shoreline. The house is cozy and had everything we needed for our stay, including extra blankets for the chilly nights. Beautiful views of the lake. Perfect spot for my parents, sister and our kids to spends quality family together on the north shore.

First impressions are based upon the website, which described location to Lake Superior, square footage & layout, previous reviews.We discovered positive surprises as to the walk to the lake shore, wonderfully laid out dwelling spaces, artfully presented. To write that BJ was prompt, understanding, and helpful is inadequate. Perhaps extraordinary and warm approaches our experience. I have certain above the bar expectations & she was clearly way above.We visited & hiked Tettagouche and Split Rock State Parks, golfed at Superior National, ate at Bluefin Bay We truly had a marvelous time.

The view was spectacular, the beds were comfortable, and the WiFi was fine.However for the premium price charged, it comes with an expectation of cleanliness. It was gross. We took pictures of an area of the floor we cleaned and compared it to the rest: disgusting. The layers of dust on lights and fans was amazing. The toilets were not cleaned very well, and there was food left in the fridge that had gone bad that we had to clean out.

Amazing Windows onto Lake Superior

We had wonderful sunny days which we enjoyed hiking but also relaxing back at the house with its gorgeous views of the lake -- from every single room on the lakeside of the house. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked.

Very peaceful and Great yard! Let people know there is room to play croquet and bocce ball or have it for them.One thing to note was that there was no hairdryer and my hair takes a long time to dry. It does not specifically call out no hairdryer included until you see the book in the house and almost all VRBOs have them for convenience. Would have brought one had I known.Great stay!
