About this property
Top rental -MN Monthly Magazine. Sleeps 16. Come make unforgettable memories.
PLEASE NOTE: The Barn is available for weekly (7 night minimum) rentals during July and August, and 3 night minimums in fall, winter and spring.
The Barn:
From the moment you walk in the door you will feel completely at home.
Sleeps 16 in beds/featured in MN Monthly, Midwest Home, Martha Stewart Weddings and featured on the Discovery Channel (Great Retreats).
Our home is located on over 900' of private lakeshore (18 acres) surrounded by beautiful white pine, maple and birch forest. The 3000 square foot home was built in 2003 from a 200 year old Vermont hay barn we had disassembled, transported and painstakingly reassembled into a luxury vacation home. The hand hewn beams inside are up to 20' in diameter and the walls are original barn board.
Enjoy our dock at sunset. Stand Up Paddle Boards are waiting for you at the lake... You and your kids will love swimming at the shore.
A charming handmade bonfire area off to the side where you can enjoy marshmallows and cocktails.
In the kitchen, you will find a gourmet kitchen with Viking range and all of the amenities needed to relax and or entertain in grand style.
Sit on the huge deck with family and friends to watch the sun set over the islands.
A perfect retreat for a couple, a wedding, a reunion or a larger group of friends looking to experience the peace and quiet of Madeline Island.
We've hosted gorgeous weddings, family retreats, reunions and honeymoons. We take extra pains to make sure your needs are met. (We are delighted to have recently partnered with the local Farmhouse Inn and Darlings Grocery!)
The Barn is truly a work of art that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.
The Barn is located 7 miles from the town of LaPointe where you'll find restaurants, bars, ice cream and souvenir shopping. In LaPointe you will also find tennis courts as well as a Robert Trent Jones-designed golf course. Moped, kayak and bicycle rental also available or take the ferry over to Bayfield for a day trip of shopping and dinner.
This review sums up your future experience at our home:
"The home was BEAUTIFUL. It was decorated lovely, with a warm and cozy feeling. It was spacious, clean, very comfortable and the view to Lake Superior breathtaking. The home had all the amenities we needed and the gourmet kitchen was fabulous. We spent a lot of time on the huge deck, which had comfortable seating for all. The dock was large and awesome where we spent a lot of time sunbathing, taking a dip in Lake Superior to cool off and trying our skills on the paddleboard. We had a lovely time and we all agreed that it was one of our best vacations. We also want to thank the owner for calling us to make sure we had everything we needed. That's customer service at it's finest. "
