THE LOCATION: Calling all Great Lakes Explorers! It's time to leave the skyline and head to the SHORELINE. This "Jewel of the North" is right ON Lake Superior's North Shore and beloved by guests who consistently provide 5-star reviews. This ALL-SEASONS Cottage is close (but not too close) to Thunder Bay and is approximately 1 hour drive time North of Grand Marais, Minnesota. Open concept design is updated & sparkling clean with a propane-fueled fireplace and new hot hub. The Cottage is one-level living, which is appreciated by everyone especially those with physical limitations. Private w/out feeling isolated. A close escape for those living in or near Thunder Bay & beckons to Americans who have not (yet) ventured past Grand Marais. INCREDIBLE VIEWS & the hiking trails are right out the door. Located in a safe, secluded, peaceful environment surrounded by nature's amazing canvas. Understated and over delivers.

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 and perched overlooking Lake Superior's shoreline, which provides second-to-none views of the surrounding islands.

THE LAND: The Cottage is situated on 2 acres and 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. If you have never heard this magical sound, there has absolutely never been a better time to experience it.

OUTDOOR FEATURES: Multi-level decks overlook Lake Superior. A new hot tub/spa with hydrotherapy jets, colored lights & bluetooth connectivity (music) is available year-round for guests to enjoy. Shower under the stars and look for The Northern Lights on clear nights. The outdoor lounge areas host comfortable seating and a propane-fueled fire table provides warmth via heat & heart. The perfect place to enjoy the moonlit sky and a gazillion stars! 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. 🙂

LOWER DECK: The lower deck literally hangs over Lake Superior while its water laps below. This amazing space provides panoramic, SUPERIOR views. Loons are abundant here and often pass by and warble out to say "hello".

THE COTTAGE: Is sparkling clean, completely updated and hosts an open-concept design with vaulted ceilings, large windows and great lighting, which provides an open, spacious feel. The main living/dining areas overlook the GREATEST lake in the world - REALLY! Guests will appreciate the sectional sofa, which morphs into a large, plush lounge. The perfect place to gaze at a full moon crawling across the sky or count one million stars.
