Amazing stay
My husband and I stayed here for two nights with our two children, 6 and 8 years old, and our dog. The rental was very clean and the view was amazing! The stairs to the beach are a short walk away and the kids loved looking for rocks. I cant think of anything I would change or add. I would definitely stay here again.

From start to finish, the host's communication was outstanding, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable. The home was incredibly well organized and immaculately clean. Waking up to the sunrise over Lake Superior was a great way to start our day. The view is breath taking. I would highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a hassle-free and comfortable vacation rental experience. I look forward to booking with this host again in the future.

Thanksgiving getaway!
The pictures in the reservation do not do this place justice. It is much larger than I was expecting which was a great surprise. The owner communicates with his clients extremely well and is quick to address any questions. Again, this is a lovely home and a great place for a quick getaway seated next to Lake Superior.

So much room! Very clean, amazing view
This unit was actually larger than the photos made it seem! Lots of places to gather as a group of 5 adults, or to retreat to a quiet corner to read. The 2 bedrooms also have writing desks, paper & pens, and many outlets for charging - such a nice amenity if you have to sit at your laptop during vacation! Kitchen is well-stocked and there were lots of extra towels, body wash, shampoo and TP in the bathrooms. The balcony is very tiny, but there are benches all over the property to sit and gaze at the lake. Our dog adored sitting on the balcony; it was enclosed with glass which is nice if you have young ones or canines along. We were impressed with how clean the unit was when we arrived, especially the kitchen and bathrooms. They labeled the light switches and ceiling fans - that's worth 5 stars right there! Great place; don't hesitate to reserve. We hope to rent again next year!

Great time with family! Beautiful views, very clean and welcoming.
We stayed here in June 2023 and the location was wonderful! So many windows, and the balcony to see Lake Superior! The place is right on Lake Superior with beautiful views from all levels. It has a number of different sleeping areas so our family (5 adults) could spread out. The lower level was great for my son and his girlfriend with their dog, easy to take their dog outside. There is enough space at the kitchen table to play board games or cards. The owner has little notes around the house to explain how the lights and fans work. The shower was hot and lovely! I appreciated the scent spray in each bathroom. The house was very clean, with excellent closet space for a longer stay. The screen door needed a little tape to help keep mosquitos out, and I suggested providing more padding for the pull out sofa bed in the lower level. Also I suggest you check with the owner about the stairs being available to access the lake during your stay. Lake Superior has a mind of her own, so water levels on the shore can change. If the stairs aren't available you can experience the lake from the rocks/cliff area. I highly recommend this spot, and would come back for sure!

Perfect location for Family with Pets
We stayed there two nights during the summer and it was everything that we needed with young kids and a dog. The location is amazing and has everything that family needs (including washer and drier!). Waking up and falling asleep with amazing view of Lake Superior is a cherry on top. It is super close to Lutsen and Grand Marais if you want to explore further north of the Great North.

Fabulous fall stay
The condo was clean, modern and had all the amenities we needed and wanted. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for pots, pans, utensils and a few food items such as coffee, filters, salt, pepper, sugar and cooking oil. The king size bed was comfortable and it was wonderful to wake up, lay in bed and watch the sunrise each morning. I appreciate having both a ceiling fan in the bedroom and a tower fan to stay cool at night. Thank you for including plenty of toilet paper, towels and wash cloths and including pods for doing laundry. We enjoyed relaxing at the condo, cooking all our meals there and enjoying the views of the lake morning, noon and night. We will definitely be back!

Relaxation on Superior
We were looking for a 2 night / 3 day stay close to superior and found this location that allowed dogs. We wanted a place with at least 2 bedrooms and space for an infant to sleep. This place with 3 levels allowed us to separate kids/dog and their noise so each could nap while the others were up. When we arrived we were so impressed with the hardwood floors throughout the unit, nicely updated furniture and décor. The view overlooking superior from the kitchen was great but the view from the master bedroom was even better! Sleeping with the shades open allowed us to look out on the night stars from the king-sized bed and wake up to beautiful sunrises, things I'll never forget. We found the walk down to the shore and spent an afternoon by the water on the private beach. The water was still freezing in late August, but on an 80+degree day it was beautifully cool. I would recommend this to anyone traveling with their dog and/or multiple kids or anyone who wants to fall asleep and wake up staring at the wonder that is Lake Superior.
