About this property
4 Bed 2 Bath Escape in the Woods. 10 minutes to the beach!
Located ten minutes from Big Bay Town Park (the jewel of Lake Superior) and fifteen minutes from the quaint village of La Pointe, you will find 'Northshore' with clean modern lines and vintage accents, working together to create a soothing Northwood’s escape.
*New for 2025* We've done some kitchen updating and added a larger refrigerator. Outside we've have two charcoal grills. There is also now firewood on the premises, cut and ready for use. We've also updated our wi-fi!
The screened-in porch, front deck, WiFi, Smart TV, turntable and vinyl records, voice activated sound system, a nice sized lawn surrounding the home, and a firepit make time on the property fun and relaxing, while four bedrooms with feather down blankets promise some deep z's. Serene, modern, with a well-appointed interior, this retreat in the woods offers some serious get-away in the spirit of Madeline Island.
Our fun and functional Midwestern Island getaway works well for a budget-minded family (sleeps 8-10, but the rate of $345 is for 8 Max, $30 each additional person) or for couples that appreciate a more current aesthetic.
We are also dog-friendly! ($30 pet fee). Families with little ones and the elderly especially appreciate that it is all one level and very child-safe. And the cabin has super high-speed internet!
Wake up and you can only see the woods, hear the wind. Have coffee in the comfy interior or on the front deck or back porch. Ride your bikes to Big Bay, swim under the bridge in the lagoon out into the gentle Lake Superior waves. At home, wash the lake off in our outdoor shower, grill, then circle the firepit and watch the sparks join the stars above. Fall into goose-down bedding and dream that your vacation never ends...
Frequently Asked Questions:
-Extra Fee for Events, Parties, Weddings, Reunions. Only the number of guests booked and paid for are authorized. Please contact owners if you'd like to plan an event no matter how small so rental agreement and town zoning rules are not broken
-The rental is about 2 miles from the beach (Big Bay) and 8 miles from town. It's located on Northshore Road, just north of Benjamin Blvd (F/N 2647). For sleeping arrangements there are 4 bedrooms: one queen, two full, and one with two twins. There is also a fold-out couch for an extra charge to cover housekeeping and laundry ($30 for each guest over 8 people). There are two full bathrooms and an outdoor shower.
-For a fee, guests can use the pool, spa, and sauna at the Inn on Madeline Island in town. An 18-hole golf course is available in town at Madeline Island Golf Club and in-season La Pointe offers a host of restaurants serving a variety of local fare (Beach Club, Café Seiche, The Pub at the Inn, the Farmhouse, and even a food truck or two). Mission Hill serves great coffee. Darling's Store has a well-curated but necessarily limited supply of grocery items. The marina also has a limited stock of food and beverage. Don’t forget Grandpa Tony’s for ice cream and Tom’s for an adult beverage and atmosphere.
-Positively no-smoking. Thank you.

About the host
Hosted by Lori Hilmer
We've been vacationing on Madeline Island since the early 2000's, first camping in tents, then our camper and then for a number of years, staying at vacation homes. Staying in those homes made us want our own to share to travelers of this wonderful and happy island. There is nothing like getting on that ferry and letting your troubles drift away with the receding shoreline. We're always happy to have others join us at our little piece of paradise.
Why they chose this property
As we've stayed at many island homes we dreamed of owning our own and spent several years looking for the right property. What caught our eye about Northshore first was the four bedrooms. Our now adult children are always excited to hop on the ferry and come out and see mom and dad and we enjoy having the room for them. We even have room for the grandchildren!
We kept that family feeling in mind as we looked for a property that we could share with not just our family, but with other families through an affordable yet well-appointed and comfortable vacation home.

What makes this property unique
Serenity and ease are what Northshore is all about. Morning coffee on the front deck, evenings by the fire, or listening to the crickets while enjoying a bowl of ice cream on the screened in back porch. Welcome to peace and quiet.
Get back to nature with our handy outdoor shower while washing away the sand from City Park Beach.
When you want some modern convenience, we have internet TV, WiFi, and a vintage stereo system and vinyl record albums across multiple genres with something for most any tastes. We have the stereo hooked into an voice-activated system connected to a premium music service to provide unlimited music options.
