OVERVIEW:
Experience the magic of "The Great Gitche Gumee" at this premier, private Lake Superior waterfront cottage backed by a Top 1% VRBO Host with hundreds of 5-star reviews - because we have earned it! This fully updated, one-level home sits directly ON the shoreline of Lake Superior. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE because there is nothing, NOTHING like being directly on the world's most incredible lake and hearing the waves crash along the shoreline or laugh at the water's edge.

Located along the world-class Circle Tour (off Hwy 61) just across the Minnesota-Canadian border in beautiful, friendly Canada. Just 60 miles* North of Grand Marais, Minnesota along Lake Superior's infamous North Shore & 15 miles* South of Thunder Bay, Ontario, this property offers the ultimate private nature escape - without feeling completely isolated. Whether you are seeking a quick weekend getaway from Thunder Bay or an unforgettable North Shore adventure, this pristine home-away-from-home delivers a front-row seat to nature's most incredible canvas. The Cottage provides a private, safe retreat for a small group of friends, couples or those traveling solo - especially women.
