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.

Family Christmas Stay

Our family of 7 adults and 4 littles had the perfect Christmas stay. Tons of room to spread out or all hangout in one space together. Lots to do to stay entertained and busy, with plenty of room to sneak away for a nap or to get a good night's sleep.

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.

Nice big house for extended family gathering

Great place for extended family gathering! Basement had pool table and ping pong which was fun got multi generational games. Massive leather couch was great for sitting in front of the fireplace! 2 of bedrooms upstairs had a wall that didn’t go to the top of the ceiling so not private.

Great girls’ weekend

We enjoyed our long weekend. The place provided us with ample space to spread out. The weather didn’t cooperate for us to have a fire in the fire pit. Nice place.

Dad's 80th

The property was PERFECT in accommodating our large family - it was quite a feat getting all of us together to celebrate our Dad's 80th birthday! Both houses were clean and extremely comfortable. All the amenities you could ask for were provided, from extra towels to lots of ping pong balls and paddles. The hearth in the main house was gorgeous and cozy. The location of the property was great for us. Secluded and quiet, with a short walk down to the lake. We were gifted perfect fall weather for our stay. We were also fortunate enough to get a harvest moon while there. It was breathtaking over the lake. I highly recommend this property, especially for those with large groups!

Great property for a vacation with friends.

The house and property worked out great for us and four other couples. The view of the lake along with the cool breeze coming off of it was wonderful especially due to the hotter than normal weather we experienced. There was plenty of room in the backyard for outdoor activities. The house itself was perfect in terms of space and comfort for all of us. Would stay there again if the opportunity arises.

Great place for a family get together

We had a large group with all ages and this house worked perfect for everyone. The beach was swimmable and walkable which was a nice surprise- beautiful at sunset. We played wiffleball in the large yard and had outdoor coverage during the rain by using the open garage. The bathrooms are a little outdated but would highly recommend this property!

We absolutely loved our stay!! Our family and friends had a blast and couldn't stop talking about what a great place it was. It is a beautiful spot (we loved being that close to the beach!) and there was plenty to do. Kris was an exceptional host and was extremely helpful.

Superior Family Gathering

Experienced "Up North" with our blended family of five adult children, their spouses and our grandchildren. Lots to do inside and out. Lake Superior was closer to the house than I expected so all the better! There's a swimming beach down the road where we saw some spectacular sunsets.

Family get together

This property worked very well for our family gathering with 17 people. Plenty of space to hang out and catch up. More actual sleeping spaces than listed due to sleeper sofas and futon beds. Kitchen was a little small but functional. Overall we were very happy with the property.

Stunning Superior

This property was perfect for our large family gathering. Kris was very helpful and communicative throughout the process. The kitchen was well stocked with tools to cook for a group. Beds were comfortable and the breeze off the lake was plesant. We enjoyed the nearby fishing beach and Amnicon Falls State Park. The provided firewood was more than enough for our enjoyment. We will feel fortunate if we get to enjoy this propery again in the future.
