Unparalleled 180-degree Views of Lake Superior, 200 feet above the water!

A true North Shore getaway, Gull Rock Ridge sits 200 feet above Lake Superior's shore on 22 private acres. Expansive interior windows frame the vista, and spacious outdoor decks on both the main and upper level provide perfect lake viewing, wildlife watching, sunning, and star gazing.

Outdoor activities await with three of Minnesota’s “Top Five” State Parks located within 10 minutes of Gull Rock Ridge, including Split Rock Lighthouse, only one mile away. Bike or stroll along the Gitchi-Gami State Trail or hike the Superior Hiking Trail; all are easily accessible from the property.

Gull Rock Ridge has three bedrooms; a king size bed and a pull-out queen bed in the owner's suite (with attached bathroom) on the upper level, and two bedrooms on the main level, each with a queen bed. There is a shared main-floor bathroom. The property sleeps 8 guests.

As part of an open floor plan, the kitchen is a chef's dream, with honed-granite countertops, top-of-the-line appliances and lake views. Dine in the kitchen, with seating for 4 around the peninsula, or enjoy 180-degree panoramic views of Lake Superior from the eight-person dining table. The main floor family room centers around a gas-burning stone fireplace with views all around. Multiple decks, including a seating area for eight, with a gas grill overlooks the ever-changing, enigmatic lake.

This year round home is equipped with high-speed WI-FI, a flat screen TV, a DVD player, board games and puzzles.

This home is a modern style house. Surfaces include Indian Slate floors in the kitchen, great room, hallways and bathrooms; granite countertops in kitchen and bathroom; hard-wood floors in bedrooms; and carpeted staircase to master bedroom and bath. Furniture includes leather sofas, hard wood dining chairs and counter stools.

IMPORTANT: The home has a steep driveway, similar to many properties in the area. 4-wheel drive / All wheel drive vehicles are recommended for maneuvering the driveway. After Nov 1st 4-wheel or All- wheel vehicles are required.

Family vacation
Everything regarding this property was perfect. The view from the house and decks were gorgeous. An open floor plan made it nice for our family of 7. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. The beds were very comfortable. The close proximity to many outdoor activities made it convenient. I would book again if in the area.

What a view!!!!
This is a quite retreat for anyone looking to get away from the hustle of life. Beautiful view of Lake Superior, no neighbors, woodsy, clean, and well stocked. It is close to the Splitrock lighthouse and Gooseberry Falls, which we enjoyed very much. After a cold hike, warming up with the fireplace and coffee was just the ticket. I would recommend this place if you really want to relax.

Perfect Home Base for Our Special Weekend
My new husband and I and a few of our friends rented this place for our Wedding weekend on the gorgeous Minnesota North Shore. Let me just say the house and the views were absolutely breathtaking! It's very cozy and there was plenty of space for the 6 of us. The kitchen was great for cooking our own meals. The deck perfect for star gazing. We even saw the northern lights one night! It's conveniently located close to a number of great sightseeing locations and was honestly the perfect home base for us. We are happy to be home after a long weekend away but we definitely miss the lake views and the beautiful sunrises. I have no doubts we'll be back and will look to book Gull Rock Ridge on our next trip as well.

Labor Day Weekend
The house is beautiful. When we arrived, the house was very hot inside. We opened windows and used fans, which helped, but we had a couple elderly family members which didn’t do well with the house temperature and we all could have used air conditioning. There are mice digging under the flashing house at the edge of the main deck - the pole nearest the patio door. They have created quite a mess of chewed debris piled by the pole. The mice scamper across the deck mostly in the evening but we saw them during the daylight as well. The upstairs toilet seemed to be leaking from the back causing some standing water behind the toilet. We appreciated the lengthy and detailed communication before our arrival on directions and other information. That was very helpful.

Driveway
4 wheel drives are highly recommended we got stuck in the driveway in our Chevy Equinox and had to call a tow truck. Ruts where pretty deep. Low to the ground vehicles not recommended. Home was beautiful and clean, decks provided a beautiful views. Property was well kept and had some great hiking experiences.

North Shore Family Trip
We usually stay at a hotel when we visit Duluth and Two Harbors, but for my 40th birthday I wanted to do something special with my husband and three boys (10, 8 and 2). Our VW Atlas SUV made it up the hill with no issues. The cabin looked exactly like the pictures and the views were amazing. The house was so clean and welcoming. The king bed was comfortable and we also used the new sofa bed. We used the multiple decks to view the lake, ships and the sunrise. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans. I made french toast for breakfast and found an electric grill pan the next day, oops! After visiting the nearby state parks and beaches, we would sit and relax in the living room. There is a firepit onsite but we decided to visit the Split Rock State Park and had fun roasting hot dogs and making smores right next to the lake. The hosts had great communication. We made many happy memories during our stay and our planning on coming back again in the future!

We loved our stay here. This home is truly beautiful and the view is extraordinary. We had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We explored the wonderful North Shore during the day, and cooked our meals in the well appointed kitchen during the evening. Then, of course, you can enjoy the food while gazing out at Lake Superior. We had a marvelous time!

Great view and secluded-amazing how close all of our favorite places were
We were very pleased with our stay at the property and would rate it among the best properties that we have stayed at on the north shore. The view of the lake was incredible and the property is very secluded. The drive to most of the must see parks was very short. We were able to get up the driveway 9/10 times in a Kia Sedona minivan. The one time we didn't was when I was shy on the throttle at the bottom, as other reviews say the key is to get some speed at the bottom and keep it going all the way up. The app on my phone put the grade at 21% at the steepest point. There is no air but it stayed very comfortable with outside temperatures in the upper 80's and there we several fans in closets that could be used. We enjoyed playing several of the board games provided while it was raining outside. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed for making meals and there were even two wine openers. The garage made coming and going very easy and cut down on the amount of bugs that could hitchhike inside. The small amount of road noise was not an issue for us and we had no trouble sleeping. The beds were very comfortable. Thank you!
