The rental was perfect for us -- two bedrooms upstairs with a shared bathroom (both spacious and comfortable), and a sofa bed in the basement/tv area, with its own full bath. The facilities were beautifully kept, the location along the north shore was convenient to cafes and hiking (with Grand Marais not too far). We arranged to bring our dogs, and they had a great time (the only thing they didn't like is that they're used to runners on the stairs, so going up and down was slippery for them, but they figured it out!).

Amazing stay

My husband and I stayed here for two nights with our two children, 6 and 8 years old, and our dog. The rental was very clean and the view was amazing! The stairs to the beach are a short walk away and the kids loved looking for rocks. I cant think of anything I would change or add. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location for Family with Pets

We stayed there two nights during the summer and it was everything that we needed with young kids and a dog. The location is amazing and has everything that family needs (including washer and drier!). Waking up and falling asleep with amazing view of Lake Superior is a cherry on top. It is super close to Lutsen and Grand Marais if you want to explore further north of the Great North.

From start to finish, the host's communication was outstanding, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable. The home was incredibly well organized and immaculately clean. Waking up to the sunrise over Lake Superior was a great way to start our day. The view is breath taking. I would highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a hassle-free and comfortable vacation rental experience. I look forward to booking with this host again in the future.

Great time with family! Beautiful views, very clean and welcoming.

We stayed here in June 2023 and the location was wonderful! So many windows, and the balcony to see Lake Superior! The place is right on Lake Superior with beautiful views from all levels. It has a number of different sleeping areas so our family (5 adults) could spread out. The lower level was great for my son and his girlfriend with their dog, easy to take their dog outside. There is enough space at the kitchen table to play board games or cards. The owner has little notes around the house to explain how the lights and fans work. The shower was hot and lovely! I appreciated the scent spray in each bathroom. The house was very clean, with excellent closet space for a longer stay. The screen door needed a little tape to help keep mosquitos out, and I suggested providing more padding for the pull out sofa bed in the lower level. Also I suggest you check with the owner about the stairs being available to access the lake during your stay. Lake Superior has a mind of her own, so water levels on the shore can change. If the stairs aren't available you can experience the lake from the rocks/cliff area. I highly recommend this spot, and would come back for sure!

About the host

Hosted by Stille Vacations

Host profile image
We are a duo of husband and wife that absolutely love to travel. Our two girls are also now catching the travel bug and we have for some time now thought of owning a few short term rental properties at our favorite destinations.

Finally in 2022, we realized our dreams and bought our first vacation rental. Then a second one in 2024 and a third in 2025 on the north shore of Minnesota and right on the Great Lake Superior. This has been a family destination for us and our 2 girls for some time now and we want to share this with the rest of the world. As we continue our journey, we are looking to add more properties from our favorite destinations for all of you and your friend / family to enjoy.

We hope to see you in one of our properties soon and hope you enjoy these locations as much as we do!!!
