About this property

MAGICAL LAKE SUPERIOR VIEWS AT THIS 5 STAR COTTAGE! UPSCALE EXPERIENCE!

'What a view!' Will be your first words when you enter Highlander Cottage.

Located just 30 minutes from Thunder Bay and a little over an hour from Grand Marais, Minnesota this cottage is the perfect base 'home' for you to explore from and return to each day. NOTE: Canadian guests please use HomeAway.ca for Canadian pricing.

Custom built with granite countertops, hardwood floors and leather furnishings, Highlander cottage, open year around, offers it's guests an arts and crafts style with a little post and beam thrown in. The inspiration for the one floor plus loft 1800 square foot layout was the panoramic view of Lake Superior...none other like it ! I designed the floor plan with an open living room/ kitchen concept incorporating a small cozy reading loft when you want to get away. The bedrooms are designed with privacy in mind. They are at opposite ends of the cottage and each has it's own bathroom with ample ceramic tile showers. For those bath aficionados the master has "ye ole" clawfoot tub.

The living room has a large gas fireplace to keep you warm and cozy while you look through all the windows to the lake. Off the living room is a large covered porch so rain or shine you can be outside enjoying the view while lounging on the patio furniture from Lazy Boy! The second side deck off the kitchen is convenient for grilling on the BBQ . This deck offers a great setting to dine with plenty of seating for a nice group gathering.

The kitchen is fully equipped for those of us who love to cook....and bake! If there is something missing I will make sure you have it! This is a working kitchen designed to minimize steps and enjoy the wonderful view while you are preparing.

The cottage is located in a very private setting. It is a large property offering a camp fire area up by the cottage and a nature trail down to the ledge rock edge of Lake Superior where you can sit and ponder life. With the Mink Mountains literally out your back door one can take the many hiking trails from easy to challenging. One of my favorites is the short walk to Picnic Point where a picnic lunch is a must! During the winter months these trails are wonderful for snow shoes. For those who like breaking trail... X country skiing is the best. Whether it be through the woods or on the lake when frozen over....a challenge is always waiting! Highlander Cottage is a silent sports persons dream destination any time of the year. Whether you are a reader, photographer, artist, writer, silent sports enthusiast, or a tourist that likes to be off the beaten path this is for you. Oh by the way the cottage DOES have WIFI so you will always be ...connected.

RATES: Rates are in U.S. dollars. To get Canadian pricing use VRBO.ca Rates are based on 2 person occupancy. Additional persons are $25 U.S. each. NO PARTY GROUPS PLEASE! THANK YOU.

One of the best vacation rentals we've ever had. Our kids had room outside to run and play & I had a relaxing view and a lot of peace. Bonzi, the host is amazing and helped assuage my fears about the wildfires and smoke before we arrived and then was great with reccomendations of things to do in the area.

Lovely property with beautiful views. It is so peaceful here. Kitchen is stocked with almost anything you could possibly need for food prep. There is a trail down to the bay, with a rocky beach. Expect to drive a fair amount if going to the parks/sights in Thunder Bay. Bonzi is wonderful host!

Each year my sister and I look to a "sister trip". Five years ago we booked our first stay at Highlander Cottage and the magic and charm of the beautiful cottage, Lake Superior, Bonzi herself and the surrounding woods touched us deeply. We no longer look to any other options and return annually. Seeing the lake unfold before us as we enter is always captivating and breathtaking. And the home itself is so beautifully and thoughtfully crafted with many warm and whimsical touches definitely reflecting Bonzi's personality, pride of family and artistic talents. A welcome note and gift basket greets us each year and gives the feeling of coming home. The home itself well stocked with anything needed and the grounds of the cottage enhanced with multiple beautiful touches. Each year my sister and I pack our boots and walking sticks intent on hiking and exploring the many trails the area has to offer. Reality is we end up doing very little hiking, content to read or knit in the warmth of the sun, bird watch, explore the treasures of the gift shop and enjoy the beautiful deck and grounds. This year we may have left behind permanent imprints in the seat cushions...but it was such a welcome, restorative retreat from the outside world.I have stayed in multiple VRBOs but this listing is the best I have ever enjoyed. It is second to none-warm, inviting-not the sterile feel of some listings. And Bonzi with her melodic laugh and beautiful smile that lights her face is incredible.

The cottage was everything we were looking for and more. We loved the views, wonderful set up, and thoughtful details. Bonzi was a delight to work with. We prepared many meals in the well-stocked kitchen and enjoyed teaching our kids how to play cribbage. We enjoyed exploring the shore and local trails.

We have stayed in a lot of places, but nothing compares to Highlander Cottage! The views of Lake Superior are second to none and the quiet and peaceful setting is exactly what we needed. The host, Bonzi, is kind and thoughtful. She made us feel welcome as if we were family. If you are looking to slow down and get away, this is your place!

Another Perfect Stay!

Highlander Cottage is perfect - immaculate and well stocked, plenty of space and yet intimate. The view is breathtaking. The location is peaceful, but there are all kinds of things to do nearby (I know, because I read about them in the diaries while I was snuggled into a comfortable chair overlooking the lake😉). Thanks so much for another great visit!

Fantastic!

This is a fabulous property with a stunning view of Lake Superior. The property manager was excellent and provided timely communications and made our stay flawless. This was our second trip to the cottage and we are already planning our third for next year. I can't provide a higher recommendation -- the repeat visits speak for themselves.

Piece of Heaven

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this secluded piece of heaven. The hike to picnic point was absolutely fantastic and far exceeded our expectations. The house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. If coming from the states please bring groceries as it is quite a trek to get to the closest grocery store about 40-50 minutes or so. Bonzi, Thank you so much for sharing your peaceful tranquil home with us!

Absolutely a beautiful spot

The pictures of this house and the views shown on VRBO don’t do it justice. We sat for hours with our coffee and starred out at the lake watching as the fog would conceal and then reveal the islands that dotted the scene. Fishing in Sturgeon Bay, which is very close, never failed to yield northern Pike with only 4 casts and yes, we saw bear, eagles, and some sort of Crane. We’ll definitely be back.

A Beautiful Hidden Gem on Lake Superior

Absolutely beautiful! Pictures didn't do it justice! No small touch was missed! Bonzi has a beautiful home on the lake and is hands on with everything! She came over and met us and went over things and gave us wonderful recommendations: Kakabeka Falls Farmers Market, Niva's Diner, Finnport Finnish Shop etc! All were fabulous! We loved sitting on the deck watching the lake, especially at sunset! Everything you could possibly need was in the cottage! We can't wait to go back!

Incredible

This is the second year my sister and I stayed @ Highland Cottage and left knowing we would book again for next year. As the descriptor indicates, the cottage is truly magical. From the moment we entered, there is such a feeling of peace, calm, warmth, beauty, appreciation of those who have shaped our lives that is so incredibly special and restorative. The cottage, Bonzi with her melodic tinkle of a laugh/smile that radiates throughout and Cheekies are truly an experience like non other. Truly an incredible week.

Scenic Retreat

If you enjoy watching the sunrise while having your morning coffee (suggest bringing your own water), a comfortable outdoor lounge area for viewing the rugged shores of Lake Superior (closest LCBO is Thunder Bay so plan ahead), a well equipped kitchen for meal preparation (no local restaurants or stores so be prepared and bring groceries with you), and comfortable beds for a good night's rest (after enjoying a scenic hike up Mink Mtn), then Highlander Cottage (very clean and comfortable) should be on your list of destinations. Your host, Bonzi, is very timely in responding to email inquiries and provides a convenient arrival and departure procedure.
Response from VrboOwner on 18 March 2020
Thanks Nancy for such a great review! I also suggest to my guests in my rental package to bring water if they want a really good cup of coffee. My water is filtered pure but it comes from a well that is 400' deep and the taste is not pleasing to everyone. Thank you also for pointing out that the cottage is away from every day amenities that you will find in a city. It is situated on pristine Lake Superior and is surrounded by nature galore! A true escape from the norm! That is why my guests love it!

Slice of Heaven

We were looking to get away and unplug. Highlander Cottage more than delivered. From the moment we walked into see a picture perfect panoramic view, we were blown away. While we did a lot of sight seeing while we were there it was hard to drag ourselves away from the peace and beauty the Cottage and surrounding area had to offer. Bonzi was a terrific host and very responsive. Our ten year old wants to make visiting a yearly tradition. With gratitude. Shannon

About the host

Hosted by Bonzi Wuebben

Host profile image
Having grown up in northern Wisconsin on a family resort I guess I have the hospitality business in my blood. I love being able to share Highlander Cottage as it gives others a chance to experience this enchanting area. I have owned property in the Thunder Bay, Mink Mountain area now for 17 years. I fell in love the minute I drove over the mountain and saw the view of the lake....awe struck! I have also grown to love my Canadian neighbors. We have a community here of magnificent, adventurous people who really appreciate Lake Superior and all it has to offer.

My previous property at Mink Mountain- SUNRISE COTTAGE_ was in the Vacation Rental Pool for 3 years. I had a 5 star rating and met some FABULOUS people. I am anticipating more of the same goodness with Highlander Cottage. See you soon!

Why they chose this property

I walked onto this property in the winter and I could not get over the view. Truly unbelievable ! I knew this was the place to build my Highlander Cottage so, a love affair ensued...oh and it's on Lake Superior too !

What makes this property unique

Highlander Cottage is in a rather private area of Mink Mountain so the animals love it here. I have bear, deer, fox, ducks, eagles...on and on....visit me through out the year. So, you never know what you are going to encounter when you look out the windows to the lake or walk out the back door that faces the mountains!!!
