On the Waters Inn, just steps from the “Big Lake” is the perfect location for those who seek to immerse themselves in the Northland experience. Two very popular state parks are located on either side of the Inn; Gooseberry Falls (1.4 miles) to the south and Split Rock (4.7 miles) to the north. These two parks are connected by the Gitchi-Gami State Trail, a paved walking, hiking, biking path that can be accessed by simply walking up our driveway. This trail also connects you with the Superior Hiking Trail, Iona’s Nature Area (.5 miles), a beautiful pink rhyolite beach, and Twin Points Water Access (.25 miles) where sea kayakers can access the Lake Superior State Water Trail.
After enjoying the beauty of the Northland, take rest in our 3,500 square foot executive home. The home includes 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Each room was designed to reveal a picture postcard of Lake Superior, especially the Great Room with its 14 foot high windows and 180 degree view. The master bedroom includes a king-sized bed, an en suite bathroom and spa tub. The upstairs flat also includes a king, futon, and couch with an en suite bathroom. The main floor includes two other queen bedrooms and a private bathroom. To further the Northland experience, we have handpicked all of the prints and pictures found in the inn revealing the iconic places of the North Shore.
The modern open concept kitchen boasts all stainless steel appliances and wine fridge. The 4x7 foot granite topped island will provide the room you need to create your own one of a kind meal. Cabinets and drawers are well stocked with utensils, glass and stemware, plates, baking and serving dishes. The Inn also has Blue-tooth and WiFi accessibility. We also provide eco-friendly soaps, linens, Keurig coffee machine, and a hair dryer in every bathroom.
As the day closes, enjoy some late night conversation on the 3 season porch as you listen to the wash of the waves and watch the lights of the iron boats as they glide by. You can also relax on the 400 sq. foot attached deck that overlooks the lake, or relax and play some yard games in our new 2500 sq. foot green space, complete with pergola.

    This was a great experience. The property is very well appointed, beautiful decor and extra clean. It was exactly as described and even better. We had 4 sibling couples and had some wonderful meals and lots of great experiences gathered around the table and in front of the fireplace. The host was excellent at communicating with us and the whole process was perfect. Would recommend this host and property.

    We had a fabulous time on the North Shore! The house was beautiful and comfortable; we were able to enjoy outdoor spaces, the lovely views and we had adequate sleeping space inside as well. We were close to state parks, dining (about 15-20 minutes) and able to explore the area with ease. Would love to visit again! The pictures don't do the property justice.

    We stayed here to celebrate a family birthday (70 something) coming from 3 different Midwest locations. House location offered many options for things to do and places to eat. At the house we enjoyed the campfire sitting area down by the lake, the screened porch, and the comfortable living area inside. Lots of space inside with comfortable bedrooms. One suggestion would be to have some outdoor chairs on the deck that would be a little easier to get in and out of. The white chairs on the deck were a bit hard for the older members of our group to use. The key box was finicky to open and mounted too low on the wall. These are minor issues. We enjoyed our stay and would readily come back again.

    Great property for a mid-size group. We had 4 adults and 2 young children. The upstairs room has a trundle bed, that worked well for our young kids with us nearby and the other adults had their own spaces downstairs. There is not much yard, so kids played inside/on deck. There are stairs down to the lake, leading to some steep rocks. I wouldn't trust kids down there unsupervised. Big kitchen, great views, nice location. Right on the bike path, with easy access to Gooseberry and Split Rock by bike or Iona by foot.

    This home exceeded all of our expectations and the online photos do not do it justice. Highlights of this home include: a master bedroom with a king bed, master bath, and an amazing view of Lake Superior. The master bath had a large walk in shower, tub, two sink areas, a separate toilet area, and a walk in closet. There were two other queen bedrooms, both near bathrooms and an upstairs that included a twin bed (separate area with a cute 'tent' design), king bed, crib, futon, full bath, and lots of seating options. The description lists it as a loft, but it's really an upstairs, that gives the guests full privacy. Favorite areas include the large living room with floor to ceiling windows that have a direct view of Lake Superior, comfortable seating for your entire family, and a gas fireplace. In addition, the open concept kitchen, large gas stove (worked great), frig, dishwasher, and a fully stocked kitchen, as well as the large family table were perfect for our group. The outside space was amazing, with an area for a campfire, steps down to the large rocks, a large deck area with seating, and a screened in porch (with an outdoor wine frig). There is a 3 stall garage that we didn't use but it was clean and would have been handy to use in the winter time. The location of this home is in between Split Rock Lighthouse and Gooseberry Falls -- so easy to get to both of these locations! Highly recommend!

    This property was very clean and had an extremely well stocked kitchen with all the dishes, appliances and utensils we needed. I loved the location, the fire pit, the gas grill and the beautiful views. The four bedrooms gave us all private sleeping quarters. The shared space and kitchen had plenty of room for the 7 of us. My only negative comment is that it got a bit hot with no air-conditioning, even with the overhead and portable fans.
