THE HOUSE:
This incredible Lake Superior WATERFRONT home is situated on the largest fresh water lake in the world and located approximately one hour* North of Grand Marias, Minnesota & 14.78 miles South of Thunder Bay, Ontario (International Airport Code: YQT). The property is close (but not too close ;) to Thunder Bay, which makes it convenient when guests need items such as quality groceries. The location is very private without feeling isolated and is an absolute paradise for those who love nature, wildlife, stargazing, hiking, history, incredible adventures, fun day trips, local farms - and the largest functioning Amethyst Mine in North America! Americans can save up to 35-40%* on activities, adventures, food, entertainment (and more) due to the USD/CDN currency conversion.

The Cottage is recognized by VRBO as being the top 1% of properties because we EARNED it. This getaway is absolutely perfect for those living in or near Thunder Bay in need of a quick escape or for any North Shore adventurer looking for a private Lake Superior experience amongst nature's most incredible canvas - with ALL the comforts of home (and maybe more).

For those of you who have not yet ventured past Grand Marais, Minnesota - what in the world are you waiting for, EH? Visit your friendly neighbor to the North. Experience the most amazing nature, views, vistas adventures and build memories that will last a lifetime. The house is directly ON the shores of Lake Superior. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE because there is absolutely NOTHING like being on Lake Superior and experiencing the powerful waves of The Great Gitche Gumee. It is truly magical.

Guests appreciate the GROOMED HIKING TRAILS just behind the house offering impressive panoramic views of Lake Superior. Here guests will discover Lake Superior's many islands & inlets - not seen on the Minnesota side and experience magnificent Lake Superior lake never before.

ON THE CIRCLE TOUR:
We are located on the highly-rated, WORLD CLASS “Circle Tour of Lake Superior” (off HWY 61). The Circle Tour is a 1,300 mile self-guided tour around the largest fresh water lake in the world - Lake Superior.

We realize people may not remember everything we do as hosts - but they will remember how we made them feel as guests.

ONE-LEVEL-LIVING:
Updated living allows you to indulge in all the things you know & love with a fully-equipped kitchen. NEW! LG stainless appliances, dishwasher and separate dining & living areas. Fibre Internet is FREE, secure, dependable & high speed with unlimited connection to the rest of the world. Samsung televisions w/ FREE Netflix & Amazon movies are located in both bedrooms and main living area. The two bedrooms are tucked away from the main living area so guests can escape to a private space when desired. Heated “under blankets” at the foot of each bed add an extra level of comfort & coziness (Nov-April). A large bathroom hosts a shower/tub combination, lighted mirror w/lots of fresh, hot water from Lake Superior & excellent water pressure. One-level living makes it easy for everyone - especially those with physical limitations.

MAIN LIVING AREA:
Large windows flood the interior space with natural sunlight and the vaulted ceilings provide an open, spacious feel. The entire living area frames The Great Gitche Gumee, which always commands (and deserves) full attention. When the sun goes down turn off the lights and count one million stars or search for the Northern Lights - especially on a clear, dark night. Curl up with a warm blanket on the large sectional sofa and watch all the movies you never have time for w/FREE Netflix & Amazon. Scour through a large selection of DVD classics and play them on an "old fashioned" DVD player. The gas fireplace adds heat and ambiance simply by using a wall mounted thermostat for instant coziness on a cool evening - or anytime!

THE GREAT OUTDOORS:
Could the outdoor spa/hot tub be the perfect place to enjoy a starlit night showered under the Northern Lights? Well, YES! The spa/hot tub is located just out the front door on the deck overlooking Lake Superior. Could there be a more perfect place for it? Well, NO! Maybe you prefer to wrap up in a woolen blanket beside the outdoor fire table on the front deck during a cool, summer evening or crisp autumn night? Or build a fire in front of the lake and toast marshmallows? Your time, your choice.

Of course we love options so there just happens to be this well lit meandering path from the house leading to an outdoor wood-burning fire pit close to the shoreline...so maybe don’t forget those marshmallows? Here you will find the owner's favorite: THE LOWER DECK, which literally hangs over Lake Superior and provides the most magnificent panoramic views. It could be the perfect place to read that book (yes, THAT book!), practice yoga or meditate in nature's splendor while absorbing vitamin D - the natural way.

SUMMARY: There truly is something very powerful & magical about being surrounded by The Great Gitche Gumee that makes one feel so small in the presence of a lake so big. But you really must experience it for yourself to understand.
