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 providespectacular 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.

    We all had a wonderful time and the property was beautiful. I especially loved the backyard and view of Lake Superior. Thanks again, June, for helping make our stay there a memorable one.

    Beautiful home with everything we needed for the week, plus some nice extras like board games and a record player. It's within walking distance to Big Bay Town Park which is a big plus. We had a great stay. Thanks, June!

    Our family had a wonderful stay at the cabin. The view of the lake is spectacular and we loved waking up in the trees. Kitchen has everything you’d need and the location is great. Hope to be back!

    We loved having views of the lake and enjoying coffee out on the deck every morning. It was an easy walk to the Big Bay Town Park. The rooms were nice and roomy. Beds were comfy. Loved the cabin feel.Easy to get to; but make sure you follow the directions left on the check-in process. Do not use Google maps.

    Loved the cabin and its very cool arty aesthetic. You can tell the owners thought about joy in the details with the record player, board games, books, etc. My only gripe is that the outdoor & campfire spot was not safe for small kids with a large drop off right off the deck.

    You can't get much closer to the water than this cabin. Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the views from any room in the house. Waking up in the morning surrounded by trees and listening to the waves gently meeting the shore was incredible. My wife and I played records and had a fire in the fireplace during one of the rainy days. On the sunny days we went to the beach just down the street and kayaked and had lunch on the beach. This cabin will have a special place in our hearts forever.

    We drove up to the property and were amazed by its presence. The views and lot really are spectacular. The cabin takes advantage of the lake and brings the outdoors in. The biggest setback for us was the lack of access to the lake, as we really thought we would be able to walk out to the water. A second comment and note to the owners would be please consider updating the bathrooms, while we like the rustics charm, that was a bit rough for the rate. Fun week, we will be back to the island.

    Lovely cabin, poetic and peaceful. Perfect for 3 high school friends to reunite in. Loved the location, the lovely hearth that is the home’s heart. Also loved that our dogs could join us.
