THE COTTAGE:
This incredible WATERFRONT property sets on approximately 2 acres and is nestled on the shores of Majestic Lake Superior between Grand Marias, Minnesota & Thunder Bay, Ontario. The Cottage is along the “The Lake Superior Circle Tour”, which is a 1,300 mile self-guided tour around The Largest Fresh Water Lake in the World - LAKE SUPERIOR! Visible here are Lake Superior's many islands & inlets not seen on the Minnesota side with absolutely the most INCREDIBLE views!

Could this be "the best kept secret" along the North Shore?

MAKE NO MISTAKE! The house is directly ON the shore of Lake Superior. No road or path intersects or obstructs the house from the lake. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE! Because there is absolutely NOTHING (NOTHING!) like being on the SHORE of Lake Superior and experiencing the powerful waves of The Great Gitche Gumee (Big Sea). Listen to the waves crash along the coastline with lucky YOU being its captive audience. Or be lulled to sleep as the water plays along the shoreline. It is truly magical.

The Cottage offers significant savings to American guests with much lower rental rates and a currency exchange rate of between -25-35%* that beacons to those who have not yet ventured past Grand Marais, MN. WHAT are you waiting for? Travel approximately 1 hour* North of Grand Marias, MN and SAVE on accommodations, entertainment, food and adventures in beautiful Canada! The Cottage is absolutely perfect for those living in or near Thunder Bay in need of an escape or for North Shore adventurers looking for a private Lake Superior experience amongst nature's most incredible canvas with (thank you) ALL the comforts of home. And breathe...

The Cottage provides a safe, cozy escape for 1-4 persons and is appreciated by couples and those traveling solo - especially women. Come prepared to create your own memories that are sure to last a lifetime. Welcome! Bienvenue!

The Cottage allows you to indulge in all the things you love with an updated fully-equipped kitchen, stainless appliances and separate dining & living areas. Satellite Internet provides FREE high speed, unlimited connection to the rest of the world while providing entertainment via large Samsung televisions w/ FREE Netflix, Amazon and AppleTV. Two bedrooms are tucked away so guests can escape to a private space when desired. Heated “under blankets” on the beds in cooler months add an extra level of comfort & coziness. A large bathroom hosts a shower/tub combination, lighted mirror w/ lots of fresh, hot water & excellent water pressure. One-level living makes it easy for everyone - especially those with physical limitations.

MAIN LIVING AREA:
Large windows facing Lake Superior could be the perfect place for reflection with a cup of tea or glass of wine. Count one million stars or search for the Northern Lights on a clear, dark night. Or curl up on the large sectional sofa with a bowl of popcorn and binge watch a favorite AppleTV Series or Netflix movie. The fireplace adds heat and coziness on a cool evening. This is YOUR time so really…do whatever you want!

THE GREAT OUTDOORS:
Could the outdoor spa be the perfect place to enjoy a starlit night showered under the Northern Lights? Well…YES! The spa (hot tub) is located just out the front door on the deck overlooking Lake Superior. Could there be a more perfect place for it? Well…NO! Maybe you prefer to wrap up in a woolen blanket next to the outdoor fire table on a cool, summer evening or crisp autumn night? It’s your time. Your choice.

Of course we love options…so there happens to be this well lit meandering path from the house that leads to an outdoor wood-burning fire pit close to the shoreline - so maybe don’t forget the marshmallows? Here you will also find OUR favorite: THE LOWER DECK. The Lower Deck literally hangs over Lake Superior and provides the most INCREDIBLE panoramic views. Watch for sailboats and loons to pass by, indulge in a shoreside Sunday brunch or get your daily dose of vitamin D ... the natural way.
