LAKE SUPERIOR: This is Lake Superior SHORELINE property, which means not only are the VIEWS of Lake Superior fantastic - it is LITERALLY in the front yard. Know the difference because nothing, NOTHING compares to being "ON" THE LAKE and hearing the powerful waves hit the shoreline. No roads or paths intersect The Cottage from Lake Superior. The house is situated on 2 acres perched overlooking Lake Superior's shoreline, which provides second-to-none views of the surrounding islands.
THE LAND: On 2 acres The Cottage feels very private without feeling completely isolated. Guests love opening a window to hear Lake Superior's powerful waves crashing along the shoreline or being lulled to sleep while its laughing water plays along the coast.

A Weber propane-fueled grill is located on the top deck ready for your next BBQ.
OUTDOOR FIRE PIT: Is the North Shore experience complete with toasted marshmallows over a lakeside campfire? It is your decision...but just in case a meandering path beckons guests to the shoreline’s wood-burning fire pit, which happens to be the most perfect place to build that campfire and memories sure to last a lifetime. 🙂
