This is our privately owned vacation home, not a corporate rental, when we're not there, it is our pleasure to share it with fellow north shore lovers. Every piece of furniture and art was hand selected to provide a beautiful and oh so comfortable home to return to after a hard day at play on the north shore. A dramatic two story wall of windows facing the lake lets you enjoy the sights and sounds of this incredible body of water, it's mesmerizing.

Our home is perfect for one or two couples, there are two bedrooms, one on each floor, each with a connected bath for privacy. Our home's amazing view and ideal location attracts lots of inquiries from travelers with a 5th or 6th person, rather than turn them down, we added twin air mattresses so we can accommodate six guests, that is our maximum.

Enjoy the amenities of an upscale resort without the noise and crowds. Indoor Heated pool, (open mid May through New Year's Day), a year around sauna a short walk away.

The Gitchi-Gami State Trail is at the top of Windsong Drive, walk or ride bikes to Split Rock Lighthouse and Gooseberry Falls. Palisade Head and Tettegouche State Park are a few miles up 61. Easy access to the Superior Hiking Trail, hike for miles through forests, along ridges, rivers, waterfalls and lakes. What an amazing place in every season, come explore by day and relax in style and comfort at night.

Winter guests enjoy miles and miles of nearby cross country and snowmobile trails. The midwest's best downhill skiing is just 40 minutes away at Lutsen. Gooseberry Falls park and Split Rock both have beautiful, groomed cross country ski trails, we use them to snowshoe too. There's nothing like spending time on foot, skis or snowshoes in the woods in winter. It's good for your body, mind and soul.

Walk to nearby restaurants: Cove Point Lodge, Lemon Wolf Cafe, Tracks N Racks, Crossings Bar & Grille and The Big Dipper Ice cream shop which is open seasonally. You'll love how conveniently located our home is, come play!

The Best

We are elderly, 70 and 85 and this home was perfect for us. It is very comfortable with fantastic views of Lake Superior. We tend to spend more time at the home rather than out so comfort ranks above ultra stylish. One bedroom is on ground floor and offers privacy for the handicapped. The gas fireplace was great. We hope to visit again.

About the host

Hosted by Jo Ebbert

We are from the Twin Cities so Minnesota is home but there's NO place on earth like the north shore. We've been coming here for over 30 years, we even chose to get married on the top of Moose Mountain in Lutsen. Of course, we love the North Shore any time of year but much to our surprise, Winter is our favorite! We are snowshoers and we find that we are often the only ones on the trails, we LOVE the solitude! We snowshoe the same Superior Hiking Trails that we hike in other seasons and we marvel at how the view changes when the foliage is gone. It's incredibly beautiful and peaceful, we hope you'll try it on one of your visits. You can rent snowshoes next door at Cove Point Lodge, at Split Rock State Park or Beaver Bay Sports if you don't have your own.

Why they chose this property

Beaver Bay is easy to get to from the Twin Cities and it's a beautiful drive. Of course the view of Lake Superior was a huge draw for us, it's hard to believe it's a lake! Listening to the waves hit the rocks, watching the sun come up over the lake, stargazing over a pitch black lake, it's a soul refreshing place.

What makes this property unique

Our home is such a wonderful retreat, when we step inside, the weight of the world lifts off of our shoulders. You can see the lake as soon as you open the front door and it draws you to in and invite you to relax, look, listen, slow down. We really enjoy the proximity to so many incredible State Parks. Gooseberry Falls, Split Rock and Tettegouche are all within 10 miles. The Superior Hiking Trail and state park trails take you through forests, along rivers, past waterfalls, to inland lakes and along Lake Superior. If you prefer a stroll or bike ride to a hike, you can walk or bike ride for miles along the shore on the Gitchi-Gami State Trail at the top of Windsong Drive. Golfers, enjoy Lutsen's Superior National Golf course 27 holes of spectacular golf just 40 minutes away. The best downhill sking and snowboarding in the Midwest is also 40 minutes away at Lutsen Mountains. We never get tired of this place and start counting the days until we can return between guests.
