Lake Superior Retreat | 500` Private Shoreline

Decided to head north during our spring break and were lucky to find this place. You could hear the sound of the waves as soon as we stepped out of the car. The house is a bit quirky, but that adds to the charm. Our 2 teenage boys enjoyed having bedrooms/bathroom to themselves up the first set of stairs, with mom & dad staying in the main floor bedroom. Rooms were comfortable. The real star was the great room with spectacular views of Lake Superior - simply amazing! We spent a lot of time sitting in the lookout loft (as we called it) watching the waves. The first night we were treated to endless stars and northern lights. On the last evening there was a wind advisory; we watched the waves increase in size as the day went on, never tiring of the sound of them crashing against the shore. It was too cold for us to sit outside on the deck, but it is large with Adirondack chairs - would be lovely in warmer weather. We did use the kitchen for quick meals/leftovers and easily found whatever we needed. Location is close enough to Grand Marais to grab some dinner or groceries, also close enough to Grand Portage to get a meal and check out the High Falls. Shayla was responsive and easy to communicate with.We enjoyed our stay and would go back! Every one of us said we would love to see the shore there in the summer.

This home was great. Shayla made sure everything went smoothly. The views cannot be beat. Furniture was comfortable, and we had all the necessary accouterments to cook our own meals. The price was very reasonable. The stairs might be difficult for the elderly, but my father who struggles with stairs was able to use them to get to the loft, to take advantage of the amazing view. Master bed is on the main floor, so using steps can be avoided. I highly recommend this home.

We loved our stay! The house was lovely, well appointed, and comfortable. And the views of Lake Superior and breathtaking!

The kitchen was fully equipped, the beds super comfortable, and the views - spectacular. The house is very large and big enough to accommodate gatherings of people, or allows for one to be off doing your own thing. The patio was right by the water and made for incredible morning tea/coffee awakenings and lovely little goodnights to the sky. You can hear the waves crashing from every bedroom, even the ones upstairs. This is a place I will endeavor to get back to. Well worth it.

It was lovely. The windows and sitting areas were amazing. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen veey well supplied though we never cooked there. The fireplace, amazing. The driveway is hard to see and there are a lot of steps. But it is a fantastic house to stay in. Great location.

The views from the house were exquisite and Shayla was very responsive whenever we had a question. The deck, which goes of the way around the house, was a nice touch. The kitchen was well equipped and the windows were beautiful. There was plenty of paper towels and toilet paper. The pool table and foosball table in the basement would be great for a family.

Our stay was amazing, and we absolutely loved the view from the house! The location was beautiful, with easy access to many local attractions. If you’re visiting during warm weather, consider bringing fans—while the lake breeze helps, the upstairs bedrooms can still use a little extra air circulation since the house doesn’t have air conditioning. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking, though the frying pans have seen better days and there are only a few plastic utensils for the nonstick cookware. Overall, the home was spacious, comfortable, and perfect for our family getaway. Also, we had amazing communication with the host!

The house is placed on a beautiful rocky lake shore. There is great privacy and I appreciated the items the host had in the house. Stuff like cooking supplies, games, and laundry access. This is a great spot and I would definitely come back in the future.

Beautiful property. Great location. Had a wonderful time.

This place was just right for us! We brought paddle boards, made a few meals, and soaked up the sun and starlight from all the balconies and windows. Will definitely be back.
