La Pointe, Wisconsin
Wrapped around an original fieldstone fireplace, this 2-bedroom cabin with 1.5 baths will thrill you with its cliffside views of Lake Superior and the Porcupine Mountains. Rustic and modern, the cottage was designed by two Chicago artists who also designed the Eleanor and Sam Himmelfarb House, now on historic registries. With Frank Lloyd Wright touches, the cabin features floor-to-ceiling windows and walk-out decks from each room where birds are ever-present and sunrise and moonrise provide spectacular entertainment. The naturally wooded perch includes birch, maple, spruce, and pine along with a variety of native flowers and lupine. A stone's throw from sugary Big Bay Beach, the cabin uniquely mixes antique barn wood boards and white-washed walls to create a dreamy aesthetic where time stops, waves lap, and sun stirs the soul. Evenings spent around the campfire with light breezes off the lake are perfect for stargazing and reflecting on the cosmos. The elegant master bedroom features a queen bed and its own half bath. The second bedroom is a converted artist studio with vaulted ceilings and wraparound windows with wooded and lakeside views along with 1 queen and 1 double futon bed (extra day bed available in the main room). A light-filled galley kitchen and cozy bath retain 1950's touches. Enjoy an easy walk or use of our free bikes to the Riviera of the North (Big Bay Beach) or head to the tiny town of LaPointe for open-air bars and farm-to-table cafes.
The large windows facing the water in every room make a big impact. Coffee at the fire pit/cliff during a sunrise is something everyone should experience. Being able to bring our dogs was amazing.
The property is unique in all the best ways! We loved it and June was incredibly responsive!!! Thank you!!!
This was a gorgeous, rustic cabin on a gorgeous spot. We loved the big windows and beautiful views from the firepit and deck. The steep stairs down to the water were a fun discovery!

This is a rustic house with incredible views. We loved the beautiful setting of the house on a cliff overlooking Big Bay. We spent many evenings by the fire pit and loved being so close to Big Bay Town Beach. The house itself is interesting. The main room is cozy and the fireplace is really nice. It was great to have heaters in every room to deal with the unpredictable temperatures of the lake. The home, especially the bathroom and kitchen are VERY rustic. They are serviceable, but requiring some work arounds. It's clear that some updating has happened (the furniture and beds are very comfortable), but much of the house looks and smells like it was built in the 1940s. I think a lot of the challenges would be solved by a deep cleaning of the whole house and some WD-40. But overall, we had a wonderful time and truly enjoyed our week on the cliff.
We are so happy to have stayed here! While we came for Madeline Island and expected to spend way more time in La Pointe, we ended up spending most of the trip lounging around at the house. They had a good selection of records, bedrooms with ample lighting, the space was laid out nicely, and it had most everything needed for a long weekend. Not to mention that the view of the lake was beyond gorgeous. We hope to return for another round of fun!
What a beautiful property. It was lovingly created and maintained with such fun details. The space was comfortable and fun for everyone. The view couldnt be beat either. It was such a refreshing and relaxing time. June was awesome and so responsive
Incredible views out the large living room looking over Lake Superior. Was perfect size for our group of 4 adults, baby, and 2 dogs. The town park beach was close by and very enjoyable
Classic property! Would stay again
We loved this cottage where we stayed with 2 (adult and teen) grandchildren. Quiet, gorgeous views, enjoyed building a fire outside at night, played games, and crafted. We have vacationed on the island many times over the past 30 years and this place was perfect.
Second time back to this cottage and enjoyed it immensely. Highly recommended
The best of all the island can offer in this charming elegant cliff side lake home. We’ve loved renting from June and cannot give higher regards for this genuinely gem of a place.
The sound of the waves crashing, coffee on the back deck overlooking the water, the stars at night, camp fires near the cliff, and waking up to those spectacular views. Oh what a gift. This space provides a secluded get away to recharge and refocus. The property is very close to Town Park which has great beaches , kayak, and canoe rentals. The proximate it very convenient with kids. If you love nature reserve your next getaway at this magical gem.
Our family of 4 had a great time at the cabin. We had a few rainy days that we enjoyed inside. We loved the amazing view from the living room and keeping warm by the fire. We cooked several meals in the well-stocked kitchen (bring your own spices and seasoning) The beds were very comfortable. There are no window treatments, so if you have a child (or you) that needs dark to sleep you may want to consider bringing sleep mask or something to help. My husband and I loved waking up to the full wall sunrise in the bedroom... and then falling back asleep. Other reviews mentioned going down steep stairs to a sandy beach below. We found the stairs, but the water was too high and there was no exposed beach landing... so maybe the water is higher this year than previous years. The Town Park is very close and has amazing swimming and beach boardwalk hikes. We rented a canoe at the park and enjoyed a leisurely paddle in the back bog. We even saw a family of otters! This was a great spot for our kids (4 & 7) to get some energy out. The water at the cabin is a little irony, so we filled up jugs at the Town Park (as suggested by the hosts) All in all we had a great time and hope to return.
Majestic property with view of lake superior. Property needs repairs and updates such as bathroom, windows and deteriorating boards. Very clean and charming.
Stunning views. Well equipped home. Loved our time there.
Beautiful stay!!
This place is magical and June is kind and easy to get in touch with.
