La Pointe, Wisconsin
Located ten minutes from Big Bay Town Park (the jewel of Lake Superior) and fifteen minutes from the quaint village of La Pointe, you will find 'Northshore' with clean modern lines and vintage accents, working together to create a soothing Northwood’s escape.
*New for 2024* We've done some kitchen updating and added a larger refrigerator. Outside we've added a gas grill, replacing the charcoal grill. There is also now firewood on the premises, cut and ready for use. We've also updated our wi-fi!
The screened-in porch, front deck, WiFi, Smart TV, turntable and vinyl records, voice activated sound system, a nice sized lawn surrounding the home, and a firepit make time on the property fun and relaxing, while four bedrooms with feather down blankets promise some deep z's. Serene, modern, with a well-appointed interior, this retreat in the woods offers some serious get-away in the spirit of Madeline Island.
Our fun and functional Midwestern Island getaway works well for a budget-minded family (sleeps 8-10, but the rate of $245 is for 8 Max, $30 each additional person) or for couples that appreciate a more current aesthetic.
We are also dog-friendly! ($30 pet fee). Families with little ones and the elderly especially appreciate that it is all one level and very child-safe. And the cabin has super high-speed internet!
Wake up and you can only see the woods, hear the wind. Have coffee in the comfy interior or on the front deck or back porch. Ride your bikes to Big Bay, swim under the bridge in the lagoon out into the gentle Lake Superior waves. At home, wash the lake off in our outdoor shower, grill, then circle the firepit and watch the sparks join the stars above. Fall into goose-down bedding and dream that your vacation never ends...

My family had a wonderful time on vacation here. Owners responded promptly if we had any questions, and the home was so inviting.
Perfect getaway! The pictures do not due justice to this place. They went above an beyond our expectations!
We love this house for its roominess, cleanliness and location. The screened in porch and hummingbirds are an added bonus. It is super close to the beach we go to every day and house location is super quiet. We will be back again!
We wanted to feel the island style life!
The house worked well for our family stay on the island. We felt very secluded yet it was a pretty quick drive to town and the beach. Good selection of games to keep kids entertained. Didn’t need to contact owners as everything was as advertised and check in/check out was super easy!
Very clean - although we were all adults, would have been a nice place for children as well. 3 couples had plenty of room. Screened in back porch was our favorite hang out location in the evening as well as the campfire pit! Refrigerator is smaller size but worked well for our group. Great communication with owners. VERY private! Comfy - homey feel! Would definitely stay again.
We enjoyed our stay on the island and excellent rental offered by Laurie and Craig during our summer vacation! This will definitely be a special place we will want to return to for another summer get away!
We had a nice stay here...quiet and had everything we needed.
We had a great time at our rental. We were worried it may not be big enough for our group but it was big enough to accommodate all 8 of us comfortably. We are trying to rent again for next year.
This is a great property with great hosts. The cabin is spacious and perfect for a group of friends or a family looking to get away.
Fun time, great people, interesting weather- changes frequently. Wonderful hiking!! Stay was great, comfy. Thank you!
4 retired couples on an annual getaway. Sleeping accommodations were comfy. Kitchen well stocked. The refrigerator is too small for a place that sleeps 8. Enjoyed the screen porch. Kitchen table was a great size to eat and play games at.
This property was perfect for our group of 6 friends. Super easy in and out, great location, nice place. Served as our 'base camp' for a fun filled week. Main issue as previously noted was coffee pot brewed way too slow.
Everything was perfect!
LOVED Madeline Island!!!! Clean, great amenities, close to beach, nice bike ride into town. Everything was awesome!
This is our 3rd time staying at this wonderful house. It has everything you need for a great stay. Nestled in the woods so the only thing you hear are the birds. We love the screened in porch and the proximity to the beach. Great place!
The cabin was everything it was stated to be and then some. We enjoyed the quiet isolated location. The screen porch was perfect for sipping morning coffee and chatting after a day of adventures. The hummingbirds were a great treat and we enjoyed them coming to the feeder often. One thing we would suggest for a change is darker curtains in the bedrooms, the early rising sun made it difficult to sleep, especially for the kids.
This is a great location nestled in the woods. It was a well stocked cabin - had plenty of seating. Nice bon fire area. Books, toys, board games, TV. The pictures shown in the posting is what was there. One of my friends saw a bear near the end of the driveway! ? It was exciting! We kept an eye out for more, but didn't see any more. Google Maps takes you to the road, but not the actual location, so be looking for the fire number yourself and don't be trusting Uncle Google! The coffee maker is a regular coffee maker, not a Keurig so we had the wrong kind of coffee with. ? We should have checked prior to coming, so that was our bad. It would be nice if the fridge was a bit larger since it houses so many people, but we just kept beverages and snacks in the coolers and put the food food in the fridge. We all had a wonderful weekend and would definitely recommend this place to stay when visiting the island. Thank you! ♥️
Our rented home had a wonderful layout and space to accommodate our 10 member family. It also included all the amenities needed to have an enjoyable stay!
We enjoyed our 1st stay on the island.
