We absolutely loved this home. Great (and well equipped) kitchen, bright sunroom facing the lake, so close to the bike path, and a sauna that didn’t disappoint. The decor was also terrific. Can’t wait to come back!

Stylish and comfortable house, gorgeously furnished on the shore of Lake Superior
This is one of the most beautiful vacation rental properties we have ever stayed in. Wonderful amenities and great location an easy walk from Superior Brewery and an easy drive from Glensheen Mansion. If you are lucky enough to be there on a Wednesday evening during the summer go check out the free live music on the grounds of Glensheen. We had a great meal Superior Brewery. Loved our stay!

FANTASTIC Place to stay. We were two families joined together for our kiddos to attend a summer day camp together. Some of us worked from the sun porch and gorgeous view, some of us napped, and the location was great for all our needs. We enjoyed walking to the brewery, seeing the bridges in Lester Park, using the sauna, and more!

24th Anniversary Mountain Bike Beach Sauna Celebration!
It was a wonderful experience, a Beautiful Property and setting. Lots of Stairs. The well appointed Bathroom is on the 2nd floor. The Sauna with the Lake plunge is Fantastic but not for the faint of heart! The views are awesome. The of/on street parking is great! My only suggestion is get some place mats, coasters and other protection for your tables etc. We will check Winter availability…. GREAT TIME! Thanks G

The home was wonderful! We had beautiful views of the lake from all over the house! The house was perfectly located as we made trips to Canal Park and also up the north shore. Meredith was fabulous to work with! Always available and very accommodating! I messed up our reservation dates and she made it work out for us! We would love to go back!

First Renters
We were the first ones to stay in the house and were not disappointed! The house remodel was done beautifully and was a nice home away from home. There were still tags on items so everything was brand new, even the grill! The sauna was a huge hit and felt great with the chilly weather, while watching the snow come down. Location was perfect, almost out of town and right along the shoreline. Sitting out in the four season with the fireplace on, and looking out at Lake Superior was also very relaxing. Would definitely stay again! Couple side notes: - All three bedrooms and one bathroom is upstairs so may be difficult for some if they struggle with stairs. - The old house charm was beautiful but did have some squeaky floors. We had to use a sound machine so our baby would sleep and not hear everyone as they settled in and walked around. Thanks for a great weekend away!
