Timber Frame House overlooking Lake Superior, 20 miles from downtown Duluth

Beautiful timber-framed house with over 3900+ square feet, plus another 1100+ square feet in the guest house. Includes both buildings and 550 feet of private lake shore. It is located at the end of a 3 mile long gravel road. Quiet. Secluded. Private. Come enjoy a beautiful escape on the south shore of Lake Superior. NOW with high speed wifi! Literally 100 times faster than our old DSL (starlink- 253 mbps on July 3, 2024)!

This home was built entirely from locally harvested white pine in 2002. Approximately 100 feet to Lake Superior's sandy shoreline. 10 Queen beds with three custom made bunk beds will be enough to fit your whole family and then some.

Sauna, swimming, camp fires, and star gazing... all to your hearts’ content at this secluded retreat.

Great place in south shore superior! We had 10 adults and 8 kids have a blast here for a crisp fall stay.Great location just outside of Twin ports making it easy to go visit those places. We made a day trip to Bayfield and was a great drive there.Rooms had enough space to have portable cribs.Already looking forward to our next visit with our crew!

Great house for 4 generations

The house is as pictured. We loved the two big tables to all eat together. If you have tweens or teenagers they will love the basement with all of the activities. The beach was nice. Very quiet and saw lots of deer up close. I love that they recycle. The owner was very responsive. Everything was great.

It was a great place for our families to be together. The grandkids loved walking down to Lake Superior and walking in the water and gathering rocks. They also loved the lower level with pool table and all the things to play with. It would have been nice if there had been one more shower but we worked it out. Thank you for renting it to us.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Finally we found a rental home that provided ample room for gathering, quiet time and enough beds— no need for making up the couch, but it would have been a comfortable option if needed. The kitchen was well equipped, and everyone could be accommodated for seating during family meals. The game room, and outdoor games and fire pit provided fun for all ages. The home is beautiful, and the setting serene. Certain courageous family members took morning dips in the lake and followed up with a sauna. We all took walks on the beach and to the mouth of the Amnicon River.Noise does carry throughout the main house. Light sleepers may want to bring along ear plugs/noise cancellation gear. Also, be aware that the final 3.5 miles of the road is gravel.

This was a gorgeous, spacious home for our group of 17. Check-in was a breeze and our extended family had an awesome get-together. We appreciated the different common spaces both inside and outside. The lake access was great (though the last bit of the path was a little too steep for some our oldest). The nearby Amnicon Falls State Park was beautiful and very accessible.Kitchen-wise: Two coffee pots and the extra frig/ freezer in the guest house came in handy. The grill was a little tricky to operate (pellet rather than more familiar gas) but especially good for low & slow grilling. There were plenty of bathrooms but it would be great if two more of the bathrooms were adapted with handheld shower nozzles in the tubs.

Family Vacation

We had our children and their families for Memorial Day weekend. Plenty of room for all of us and the separated houses was nice. The kids LOVED the beach. Too cold to swim but they loved the sand and driftwood. We definitely enjoyed the beautiful view! Kids had plenty to keep themselves busy.

New Year's on Superior

This was the perfect location for a large group to relax and welcome in 2025. We enjoyed hiking to the shore, games, and enough space for all of us to gather around the fire. The kitchen was adequate to feed everyone and there were seats enough for all to enjoy meals together. The large TV downstairs was great for a few wanting to watch a football game.
