The house was everything we needed with our group, ages 1 to 73. Bedrooms were spread out enough that the littlest members weren't woke up by the loudest members, etc. Kitchen was fully stocked with every appliances, utensils, etc. It was extremely hot so we didnt get to use the bonfire pit but the area was super nice and we would have loved it. Great distance from everything we wanted to do in the area. (Beach, hiking, apostle island, Bayfield, kayaking, etc( Lots of sitting area, enough space to play games, have a puzzle going, and a movie night. We had to deal with the boundary waters fires and the house had enough activities to keep us all entertained. Baby gates were a big plus for the one year old also. Several family members used the treadmill also.

Great property. Great venue. Great views.

Our family of 8 adults and 4 children under 6 were extremely comfortable at this property. The kitchen/dining/gathering room was more than ample. The dining area seated the entire family. The HUGE couch seated the crew as well. The kitchen is wonderful and multiple refrigerators really help. The yard is well kept and very inviting. We had a great week!

Fall Family Getaway

The prosperity is very spacious and has separate spaces for multiple families, beautiful views of the lake and an awesome well stocked kitchen! We enjoyed grilling and a bon fire overlooking the lake. We loved the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks, and are looking forward to be back next year!

Out of the way location- on Lake Superior. The layout of the place is unusual, but everyone had a place to sleep. Kitchen had pretty much everything we needed to cook our meals. If you're lucky enough to have clear skies you will see a awesome sunrise.

Wonderful!

We had a wonderful time with our whole family over Thanksgiving. The house was spacious with plenty of room to both spend time together and spread out to get a little space. The host was really responsive and helpful. The house did feel a little bit like a maze to start with but was okay once you got use to it.

Lots of peace and quiet

This was a great property. Lots of room to move around. The neighborhood was very quiet - we only saw one car go past the house in 4 days. The crows nest was a wonderful spot to sit and watch Lake Superior. We could hear the lake from our windows every night. A few good hiking spots nearby like Meyers Beach. I would definitely book again.

Fabulous time!

Our family and friends from Germany had a wonderful time staying in this lovely home in a beautiful setting. The area is so peaceful and the house so well equipped! We were really impressed and grateful for all the extra nice touches the hosts included. We usually need an extensive supply run after checking in but that was not necessary this time. We loved the outdoor spaces. The communication with the hosts was prompt and thorough,

I retired on 1/30/2026 and wanted to spend 2 weeks in my fave place in the world - the Wisconsin North Woods - and I wanted to stay on Lake Superior. Everyone said WHY?! Because after working for 22 years in a challenging industry, I needed to destress. I wanted to be quiet. I wanted to watch the storms roll across Lake Superior. This beautiful home is about as far north as you can get in Wisconsin. It is a LOT of house for 2 people but for a group it would be great. Luke was so wonderful to deal with - both prior to the trip and the couple of questions we had when we got there. If you do decide to go in the Winter, just know it is remote. The roads are plowed but snow packed. Not much is open (but go to Pancho's in Cornucopia for the Walleye cheeks). I enjoyed cooking in the gorgeous kitchen (everything there you need!) and my husband and I played cards, binged some tv shows and just chilled. I've recommended this house to friends that go up in the summer to fish and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a Lake Superior experience. Close to Duluth, Bayfield and Hayward so things to do if you want to. Enjoy the sunrises!!!

10 stars all the way!

Amazing home, space, view, people to work with! The owner Luke was almost instantly responsive to any questions or info I needed. I've never stayed in a vrbo that was that well-stocked with EVERYTHING. And the view was breathtakingly magnificent. The cleaner Renee couldn't have been nicer or more helpful with all of our questions and needs. I give Luke, his staff and home a thousand stars!

Family vacation

Fantastic views of the lake. I'm sure sunrises are amazing, but you have to get up pretty early to see it😂 this property is very well stocked with everything you may need for your stay. The baby gates on the stairs were very much appreciated as we had small kids with us. The layout of the house was a little funky, but once we got used to it, it was fine. There was plenty of room for everyone to have the space they needed. We had a great vacation! Managers were very quick to get back to us with any questions or concerns we had. It was quite buggy outside, but could have just been a hatch this time of year bring near the water. We had a great time and are glad we chose this property for our family vacation!

Big place - Great Hosts

Our stay here was fantastic, just missed mud season which made it even better. Great outdoor lot as well here, roomy backyard for our K9's and frisbee, pretty private, fire at the pit, great lakefront to get down to via a static rope, lots of shoreline got explored! More than enough room inside the place, we only ended up using half of it! Well stocked with dishes, seasonings, towels, blankets, plenty of kitchen utensils (pots/pans/everything) sometimes you don't get this at vrbo's, paper towels, kleenex, grill was full of LP. Real comfortable inside, roomy. Has a nice porch out back, a nice upper deck, nice screened in porch, all with seating. To top it off the owners are great, super responsive, they take care of their place and it shows. We had a great time and will more than likely be back. Thanks for having us Luke!

Wonderful Lake Superior spot to escape

This “cabin” by the lake is great for small or large groups. The location is on the water (listen to the waves) with a spectacular sunrise orientation. It is remote, but we loved it as it was ideally located for the activities we enjoy - bike riding (check out trails in Duluth and north shore), kayaking (Cornucopia and Washburn), hiking, and relaxing with the sound of the waves. The cabin is well appointed and has the most spectacular kitchen that is well stocked with cookware and great knives that actually do the job when slicing and dicing. (We stay in a lot of rentals, and this usually is not the case.) Cornucopia, Apostle Islands, and Bayfield are all excellent. Plus, we found a great pup sitter in the general area via Rover.com for our Mylo when we were out with activities he couldn’t join in on. Also, if you are there in the summer, Bayfield has an amazing collection of produce/fruit stands. Iron River has an exceptional meat market (Jim’s). And, be sure to enjoy a Friday fish fry if you are in the area. We were there almost two weeks. Enjoy!

A Beautiful property!!! We had a group of 6 gather here from all different locations, and we were thrilled with the place! The Lake Superior views are the highlight, for sure, but also the kitchen was very well equipped and huge enough for all of us to be working, prepping, & cleaning up. The main living area was so welcoming with windows on 2 sides, we gathered there every day and savored nature being all around us. We loved the huge dining table for meals as well as doing creative projects together. We found the layout of the house a bit confusing at first, but we all adjusted and thoroughly enjoyed the spacious layout!! We were there too early in the spring to be able to properly enjoy the great outdoor spaces - we'll be back in warmer weather!! It's a beautiful location, a beautiful property, and beautifully equipped!! We will for sure rent this place again! Thank you.
