A great place for families (and their pup). Our kids loved exploring the shoreline after a snowstorm-- they collected ice crystals and loved looking across the bay with the binoculars that were provided. A well stocked kitchen for big meals, this was a great stay!
Host was very responsive and accomodating before and during our visit. Home was clean and as described. Great yard. Relaxing lake. We hope to return next year for more fall colors.
We had a wonderful time with our family visiting from abroad. The cabin surroundings are just beautiful in the fall and you have access to the beach also amazing. We are not early morning people and not having blackouts made it very difficult to sleep in in the morning. The shared spaces for the whole family are just perfect. The space has everything you need to enjoy meals and spend time together indoors
First, the home and property is exactly as it appears in the pictures. You can get down to the shoreline via trail or stairway and there is sandy beach and rocky edges as you find on the North Shore of Lake Superior. There are many acres and you have complete privacy and seclusion. We were there for rest and relaxation and we didnât see another soul, hear any road noise or any airplane flyover. The sunrises were spectacular.
We love doing fall color tours of the south shore of Lake Superior. As Minnesotans we had spent our lives doing only the north shore so this is our new fall tradition.
The home is dog-friendly which we appreciate and I know our German Shepherd had as good a time as we did. There was plenty of yard to chase her ball and do zoomies. She also went down to the lake to wade and bark at the waves, which was very unusual because she has been famously afraid of any water since we got her from shepherd rescue. This might have been the highpoint of our trip, her actually getting in water.
The home has excellent wifi reception and a smart tv with any app you want to sign in on so you wonât miss any sports. The house is spacious and comfortable and the kitchen has just about everything. As the host advises, bring the food and supplies you think you will need as shopping for groceries nearby is sparse.
Two restaurants to hit for sure are Ponchoâs Tavern in Cornucopia (under new ownership) and Cranberry Over Superior in Herbster.
We had a great time the property was spot on the description. Watching the sunrise in the morning off of the lake was breathtaking. We will definitely stay again when we are in that area if it is available. Communication with the host was prompt and very easy
Very nice home out in the middle of nowhere...with a great view. Highly recommend it if you want to get away. We had a wonderful quiet Thanksgiving staring out at the lake.
If you enjoy lake life and the outdoors this is your place. The home was within driving distance to many beautiful beaches and the Apostle Islands. I would definitely recommend a truck during the winter months as the driveway may be an issue in deeper snow. We loved walking down the shoreline infront of the home. However, access to the water maybe an issue for the elderly as you have several steps to go down and the walking path is a bit steep. Our stay was a bit chilly the first night as you do not have access to the thermostat. However, after contact with the host the heat was adjusted. This issue will not affect our return.
Peoperty owner communicated, was friendly. The property was clean, all of the appliances worked, plenty of hot water, and the property was just as advertised. The view from the deck is gorgeous and there is beach access.
Rediscovered âDolce far ninente â. The sweetness of doing nothing. The house IS BEAUTIFUL. windows to Lake Superior,windows to watch moon and stars. Upper deck, bench for just breathing. Huge lawn full of so many plants. Saw bears on walk, mom and her kids, no fright. Owners thought of everything down to dog towels. Walk down to lake ,shore breathtaking. Double rainbows. Will return. Owners very quick to reply to everything. An experience not to be missed.
Great place to relax. Kitchen has everything you need to cook if you donât want to go out to eat. Comfy bed and clean. Great host responds right away. 5 plus stars
It was a nice house and an even nicer property and location. This is a great place to stay for the solitude of nature and also a good jumping off point to explore everything Bayfield County has to offer. I wish there were 2 bathrooms but other than that I would definitely stay again.
The property is very nice. The accommodations would have been better had it been cleaner on arrival. Having the fragrance free idea is nice but there were no cleaning supplies available in the event needed. ( including a broom and
Dustpan. )Additional note: all bathroom items were not fragrance free.
Enjoyed the Property, views and the beach. even in the winter there was plenty to see and do. Very relaxing and comfortable stay. Would love to come back in summer

This Lake house is great! Perfect location, great beach to feel the water, sand and pick up beautiful rocks. Our pups had a great time as we were able to just let them run free with the property and freedom of being so private. Great house with wonderful views. Highly recommend! The surrounding areas of WI are beautiful and we found so much magic with the snow, waterfalls and overall beauty of this state! LOVED IT!

My husband and I like to visit the Lake Superior area each fall. We chose the Herbster area because we had never been there. The house was very private without a neighbor in sight and had a nice outside area. At the time it was advertised as a two bedroom one bath that worked out perfectly for us and our two dogs. The kitchen is well stocked and the bed was comfortable. The owner was helpful and very assessable. We had the fantastic experience of seeing a very large black bear in the driveway! Donât worry, black bears tend to run from us humans. We did a couple nice hikes at Meyers beach and Lost Creek Falls and strolled around Bayfield. Colors were still beautiful, we will consider renting this home again.
The house was large enough for 3. Loved the wood floors, gas fireplace and large kitchen. The view, once you are outside, is amazing! Being able to walk down to the beach was nice. The weather we had was not prefect but we still enjoyed as much outside time as possible. There are few things open or nearby until after May so be sure to bring food, paper products and things to drink so you won't need to run back to a large town.
We needed a get away and wanted to be on
Superior. Found this home and it was everything we needed and more! Eileen's home is so inviting. And the views? They were spectacular. Watching the ice flows, swans, mergansers and sunsets was exactly what was needed. And the weather was perfect.
Our fur babies loved it just as much and all the exploring wore them out.
Spent many hours combing the beach looking for agates and sea glass.
Eileen is a wonderful host and always kept in contact with anything we needed. And based on our travel dates, was gracious and allowing us to arrive early. It was such a treat for us.
We will definitely be back!
