    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 special, evening campfires. NOTE: Because of the uneven surface of stones frequently tossed up by the Lake storms, use the close 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, fully equipped open kitchen with island, TWO remodeled bathrooms, three bedrooms, wood burning fireplace, deck and patio. All on over two private wooded acres.

    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. And speaking of exploring, the owner has an RV which may be parked near the garage and will not be occupied or in use while you are there.

    Tettegouche SP - 10 minutes
    Temperance River SP - 15 minutes
    George Manitou SP - 15 minutes
    Silver Bay - 10 minutes- grocery store, liquor store, hardware store, Adventure Park (zip line, climbing), Black Beach, the Northwoods Grill for excellent BBQ and home cooked meals.
    Beaver Bay - 15 minutes- ice cream shop, agate shop, liquor store, flea market, Lemon Wolf Cafe for that special dinner or pizza at Cove Crossings, excellent rock picking at the River and a marina.
    Finland - 5 minutes- explore the swampy areas on the gravel/dirt forest backroads where the moose hide and the tundra swans can often be seen on the lakes. Enjoy a hearty breakfast or lunch at Our Place or Four Seasons in town.

    Great little house in the perfect location
    This house was great for our family of 5 adults. The view was amazing, large windows everywhere to enjoy the view of Lake Superior. We loved the fire pit by the lake for roasting hot dogs and star gazing. The house was equiped with everything we needed. I would definitely return to this house next time we come to the North Shore.

    Perfection
    This is a repeat visit to this property! It is located on the stunning shores of Lake Superior with sunrises that will take your breath away! We so appreciate the quick responses with the host if necessary and the kitchen is equipped nicely with excellent no Teflon in sight cookware as well as bakeware and an excellent coffee maker with filters and coffee if you forget to bring your own. The beds are super comfey and the bed linens are of good quality. We all slept really well. The towels are five star hotel quality as well. And this host is conscientious about smells so I am thrilled that all things were not laundered in that overly sickly sweet smelling stuff that makes me gag. Everything is perfect here and if planning goes well we will be back next year! Thank you so much for hosting us. Your property totally made our little vacation amazing!

    Magical North Shore Getaway
    I hesitate to write as I want to keep this peaceful haven a secret, but I must say that it is absolutely the perfect place for my family who have loved traveling the the North Shore for the past 50+ years. The natural light, beautiful little decorating touches, and the views. Rain or shine, being in this space filled our hearts with peace and happiness.

    Will definitely be back
    The house was fantastic. Perfect location. The only issue we had was a disappointed 5 year old when we arrived and there was no bunk bed. Which was minor in the grand scheme of things. We will definitely be back when we come up again.
