The Perfect Location for your North Shore Experience

On the Waters Inn, just steps from the “Big Lake” is the perfect location for those who seek to immerse themselves in the Northland experience. Two very popular state parks are located on either side of the Inn; Gooseberry Falls (1.4 miles) to the south and Split Rock (4.7 miles) to the north. These two parks are connected by the Gitchi-Gami State Trail, a paved walking, hiking, biking path that can be accessed by simply walking up our driveway. This trail also connects you with the Superior Hiking Trail, Iona’s Nature Area (.5 miles), a beautiful pink rhyolite beach, and Twin Points Water Access (.25 miles) where sea kayakers can access the Lake Superior State Water Trail.
After enjoying the beauty of the Northland, take rest in our 3,500 square foot executive home. The home includes 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Each room was designed to reveal a picture postcard of Lake Superior, especially the Great Room with its 14 foot high windows and 180 degree view. The master bedroom includes a king-sized bed, an en suite bathroom and spa tub. The upstairs flat also includes a king, futon, and couch with an en suite bathroom. The main floor includes two other queen bedrooms and a private bathroom. To further the Northland experience, we have handpicked all of the prints and pictures found in the inn revealing the iconic places of the North Shore.
The modern open concept kitchen boasts all stainless steel appliances and wine fridge. The 4x7 foot granite topped island will provide the room you need to create your own one of a kind meal. Cabinets and drawers are well stocked with utensils, glass and stemware, plates, baking and serving dishes. The Inn also has Blue-tooth and WiFi accessibility. We also provide eco-friendly soaps, linens, Keurig coffee machine, and a hair dryer in every bathroom.
As the day closes, enjoy some late night conversation on the 3 season porch as you listen to the wash of the waves and watch the lights of the iron boats as they glide by. You can also relax on the 400 sq. foot attached deck that overlooks the lake, or relax and play some yard games in our new 2500 sq. foot green space, complete with pergola.

Beautiful home and location!
This was our third visit and, as always, we appreciate the nice big kitchen, the stunning views, the layout of the bedrooms, the plush towels and bedding, and the lovely firepit down by the water. We loved the new living room furniture. We only wish the hot water heater could be set to at least 120 degrees. But we still highly recommend staying here!!

Wonderful sibling reunion!
This property was very clean and had an extremely well stocked kitchen with all the dishes, appliances and utensils we needed. I loved the location, the fire pit, the gas grill and the beautiful views. The four bedrooms gave us all private sleeping quarters. The shared space and kitchen had plenty of room for the 7 of us. My only negative comment is that it got a bit hot with no air-conditioning, even with the overhead and portable fans.

Beautiful home! Sunrises, porch time, relaxation, perfect family getaway. Location is excellent. Very clean, spacious, all the essentials were provided, easy to arrive and do nothing more. We loved walking down by the water and getting our toes wet in the water. The weather was VERY hot when we visited, it was our fault for not realizing there was no AC. But there are a couple fans. We won’t hesitate to stay here again, everything was excellent! Owner was very responsive, excellent communication .

My family stayed at this property for the 4th of July 2024. We were able to enjoy a lot of family time. From smores on the campfire, puzzles at the table, meals cooked in the kitchen and game night around the table, my family enjoyed their time together. The house was easily large enough to house the 6 adults that attended, and we are talking about doing this again next year.

North Shore Ladies week
The house is BEAUTIFUL! The view of Lake Superior is SPECTACULAR!! That said, the living room sectional needs replacing BADLY!!! The mattresses is all the bedrooms are getting very soft & worn out. There are several spots on the hardwood floor by the half bath that needs serious attention. Those spots have gotten worse in the 5 times we've rented this home. I can't believe they haven't been repaired. A serious tripping hazard.

Family Getaway
Our family of seven stayed at the property on the north shore for a week. We found the property to be as shown in the photos - beautiful, comfortable and inviting. The highlight for us was the screened in porch. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the spectacular view without the mosquitos. Everything was clean and in working order. The owner was very helpful and responsive. In short, a wonderful vacation!

North shore stay at the Big House
This was a second stay for us at this lovely home: 5 adults and 2 kids 6 and 4 years. They loved their own special kid bed and futon bed upstairs. Plenty of space for all with thoughtful layout. We ate all meals in and the kitchen is well equipped. The big draw of course is the view from the home and decks. Spectacular!! Great for bird watching too. We hope to return to this rental again.
