Lupine Landing | Tiny Home on the Big Lake

Great things come in small packages! Book your dream getaway to Lake Superior’s South Shore at Lupine Landing, Cornucopia’s most charming tiny home. This 500 square foot cottage (plus a four-season porch) may be small in size, but it has every amenity you may want, plus stunning Lake Superior views.

Your host runs Bark Point Ventures, a vacation rental management & concierge company that specializes in properties on Lake Superior's South Shore. She lives nearby and is available 24/7 to assist her guests. Our passion is ensuring guests experience the magic of what we feel is one of the most amazing places in the world.

The South Shore is truly a place to get away from it all, but not so far from modern conveniences that getting food and gas feels like a chore. The guest book contains tips on all the incredible outdoor activities around here, as well as local arts, plus places to get groceries, dine out, grab a drink, etc. This is truly a year-round destination, whether you enjoy outdoor adventure, local cuisine, art, or simply the company of friends & family in one of the most beautiful locations in the northern U.S.

The home is just a few minutes from the center of Cornucopia, which has a delightful general store/market, awesome coffee shop, bar/restaurant, and marina. Bayfield is about 25 minutes away, and it's roughly a half an hour to Washburn (where you’ll find the largest grocery store in the area). Ashland is about 40 minutes away, with a natural foods co-op, Wal-Mart, and a wider range of shops). Superior & Duluth are an hour and a bit away.

Lupine Landing is located on Spirit Point in Cornucopia, a teeny peninsula that sticks out into Lake Superior & Siskiwit Bay. The home sits on a nearly two-acre parcel which gives you plenty of greenery all around on top of the stunning lake views.

The entrance of the cottage takes you right into the light-filled four-season porch. This is likely where you’ll want to have your morning coffee and evening beverages as you can cozy up on the couch and gaze out at the lake without having to fight off mosquitos (or the cold)! The porch also has an fine assortment of games, should you have a rainy or lazy day during your stay.

Once you enter the cottage proper, you’ll first notice how spacious it feels, thanks to the vaulted ceilings and open plan layout. The main part of the cottage houses the kitchen, dining, and living areas. You’ll be amazed at how functional and fully-outfitted such a small space is! The kitchen, while small, has every appliance (even a popcorn maker!), utensil, and cookware item you may need. The dining table seats up to four. And it has the cutest little refrigerator you’ve ever seen!

The living area has a full-size couch and a comfy swivel chair, both situated to enjoy the warmth of the gas fireplace and the views of the lake.

The two bedrooms are compact, but have everything you’d need, so thoughtfully set up & organized. The first bedroom has a full-size bed (brand new memory foam mattresses are in both bedroom) and the second bedroom has a queen-size bed. Both have windows with views out into the woods & gardens, charging stations, ceiling fans, and ample storage for your luggage & belongings.

The bathroom also feels surprisingly spacious - it has a large shower, single vanity, and a surprisingly large medicine closet for your toiletries.

Everything about Lupine Landing feels modern, new, and so well thought-out. We’re confident you’ll fall in love with this tiny cabin that has a big heart!

*Please note that there are two exterior cameras monitoring the front door and the exterior of the garage.

Due to the lack of public transportation and the distance between towns/amenities, a car is pretty much essential. But, on the plus side, traffic is not a concept we have up here!

Cabin & Property Amenities:
- Fully outfitted kitchen
- 4 season porch
- Dining seating for 4
- High-speed Wifi
- Gas fireplace
- Short drive (or walk) to Cornucopia beach, Meyers Beach, and the lovely beaches in Port Wing

Getaway
We had never been to this area of WI or the south shore of Lake Superior but found it beautiful and quaint. Perfect spot to get away but still not be too far away from things to do (Bayfield & Ashland). The mosquitoes were thick but that is to be expected in the trees and greenery. A gentle breeze through the grounds off the lake keeps them at bay and cools the cabin down nicely. If you visit this area be sure to check out The Cranberry Over Superior. Recommended by the host in the guest book and two of the best meals we have had. Highly recommend the area and Lupine Landing!

Up from Des Moines
This tiny home aligned with its listing information - small but close to everything. It rained for the first 2 of our 5 nights/days so we were inside more than we planned and while the kitchen had all the essentials it was so small that it was difficult for two to share in tasks so we landed on one of us prepping and other cleaning up afterwards. Not a bad compromise. For a larger adult male I found the shower a bit tight too. We noticed the lights blink momentarily and assumed there was a power interruption and when water didn’t get hot, we explored and found the hot water heater needed to be reset. This was easy enough to accomplish with instructions on the heater in the adjacent closet. We brought along our own TV because we saw rain in the forecast. The WiFi allowed easy streaming for movies on our Smart TV.

Absolute serenity! We came up from the Twin Cities for a 20 year anniversary weekend and it was absolutely perfect for what we wanted. Quiet, beautiful views of Lake Superior. Lots of hiking within close proximity of the property and a fun time out on a cruise of The Apostle Islands!

Amazing property in great location
I almost hesitate to share how perfect this adorable cottage is for fear it will diminish my family's opportunity to rebook. Guests were two adults and our 13-year-old son who confirmed that the wi-fi worked perfectly for video games in between beach and sea cave exploration and trips to Bayfield & Madeline. We had such a wonderful stay and were so impressed at the amount of forethought put into every little detail of the place. Each time we said, "I wish we had..." we'd discover that exact thing just where we would have looked for it. A well-stocked kitchen and bathroom but also notepads and pens near an excellent selection of games (although sadly, our entire family did perish from dysentery while playing "the Oregon Trail" game). Erin was very responsive to any/all questions we and the ability to order local produce, meat and fish was such a benefit - leading to a wonderful brat and grilled whitefish dinner with fresh local salad and smores. The small space lives well and doesn't feel small except for walking space around the master bed (got a little tight with two people and suitcases.) The house is situated to feel extremely private with a cliff view of the lake and beautiful setting. Great star and firefly gazing! We are absolutely coming back and spent fifteen minutes prior to check out scrolling available dates and comparing against our family calendar. Highly recommended! (Just not on the weekends we want to visit!)

Property manager did not contact me with instructions on how to enter. I had to call VRBO. Internet access did not work. I texted and called the property manager and never received a call back. My trip was for writing and I needed internet access to get to my work. So I drove to Bayfield each day and sat at a coffee shop all day to write. The cabin is small, but just right for 1-3 people. Modern and comfortable. Lake Superior is about 200 feet away. But there is about 20 foot steep slope to the water. no safe way to get really close to the water here. It was very quiet and not overly developed.

Great stay with a lake view near a charming little town
Overall we enjoyed Lupine landing, the house was tastefully decorated, clean and well thought out. I will say as others might have mentioned the shower is small and a few other quirks about the house like the water/hot water, location of the septic, noisy ceiling fans. Some of these are just the nature of the location and based on size of the house which the host does mention. Overall the place was a great stay being a few minutes from Cornucopia. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of supplies. Make sure to try the miracle water at the local artesian well nearby! We would definately stay again.
