OUR PHILOSOPHY: After many years of vacationing on the North Shore, we purchased this town home in December 2014. We know what we appreciated and looked for in the properties we have stayed at. Our home has evolved into a "boutique vacation home rental" thanks to all our guests and repeat guests we continue to keep this dream retreat alive! You will find a clean and well cared for vacation home.
We pay well for our excellent cleaning team. We strive to use most cleaning products to be all natural eco and human friendly. We manage our property ourselves and that has allowed us to have a well maintained home. We have a maintenance man to take care of any issues that would need addressing right away.
We decided to share our vacation home with others to offset the expenses of our dream retreat. We are looking for GUESTS WHO WILL PARTNER WITH US IN USING OUR HOME WITH CARE. It is our hope your experience with us will keep you coming back for many years!
OUR COMMUNITY: We are part of a quiet community of 26 privately owned residential town homes that are not owned or operated by any resort, hotel or lodge. A vacation by owner rental allows travelers to experience a vacation out of the congested resort or hotel settings. You become part of our friendly community of owners and guests. We have a shared use building with a pool and sauna. Pool (open Memorial day to New Years) AND Sauna open Year round.
FANTASTIC LOCATION. LOCATION, LOCATION ---- TIME TO ACTIVITIES: Our vacation home is centrally located just off Minnesota scenic North Shore drive Highway 61 and surrounded by some of the premier vacation state park destinations in Minnesota. The closest park being Split Rock Lighthouse which is one of the most visited and photographed lighthouses in the nation! It is hard to beat our location for travelers who want to be centrally located and capture “all” the shore has to offer.
We think you will agree, due to the nature of the shores length, if you are too far northeast or southwest you get trapped into only seeing part of the shore when you visit, but our location meets the needs of the travelers who want to see it all. Or, remain in this beautiful section of the shore and enjoy the many premier Minnesota favorite destinations near us. To highlight a few of the locations:

Great 40th Birthday Get Away
Cute, cozy cabin directly on the big lake! Great location, near state parks and hiking trails, with a few close by bars in walking distance. Great communication with the owners and the home was clean, organized, and very quaint. Amazing views from both the upstairs and downstairs picture windows.

Perfect Getaway
Every morning, the sunrise over the lake was a perfect start to the day.The house itself is cozy, well-maintained, and equipped with everything you could need. The location is ideal for exploring the north shore. The hosts gave some helpful local tips about restaurants, as well as other activities and attractions. The hosts were incredibly communicative and made the entire process smooth and easy.

Awesome lake front cabin
Very nice cabin with a beautiful view of Lake Superior. Owners are very good at answering any questions and have very detailed guides of the area. We went snowmobiling from here and they have good trailer parking. Probably the most well stocked VRBO I've ever been to and extremely well organized. Would definitely go back!

We had a lovely stay at a beautiful condo on the shores of Lake Superior. The property was wonderfully furnished and equipped with all necessities. We enjoyed coffee on the deck with its wonderful views. There was a lot to do in the area and we took advantage of the nearby golf courses and hikes. The leaves were beginning to turns an added benefit. The VRBO was perfect in every way. Many thanks for opening your vacation home to us.

North Shore Escape
We had a wonderful week overlooking Lake Superior from the property. The sunrises were spectacular. We also enjoyed the stars in the night sky, including a shooting star. The home is clean, comfortable, very well stocked and Barb's communication to ensure you have all the details needed for a great stay surpassed any other vacation rental we have stayed in.
The property is located nearby many North Shore attractions and made getting around very easy.
We enjoyed the deck and listening to the water when we weren't out hiking and taking in the sights.
We highly recommend this property if you are looking for a home away from home in the North Shores.

It was great to have a sauna after the beach in the pool house. We (best friends for 35 years) visit the north shore every summer and this is hands down the best place we have ever stayed! We will be back every year for sure!! Thank you for the best visit ever!!

Barb & Bob's home is incredible. This was probably the best rental home experience I have ever had. Amazing detailed communication beforehand & then Barb provided so many wonderful recommendations that we used daily! The house was just as described (even better!), it had everything you could want & more! And THAT VIEW! I was blow away by the entire experience & can't wait to come back. We had one question during our stay & Barb answered immediately & made sure we had what we needed right away. The North Shore is a beautiful place & this home makes it an even better experience.
