About this house rental

On the Waters Inn, just steps from the “Big Lake” is the perfect location for those who seek to immerse themselves in the Northland experience. Two very popular state parks are located on either side of the Inn; Gooseberry Falls (1.4 miles) to the south and Split Rock (4.7 miles) to the north. These two parks are connected by the Gitchi-Gami State Trail, a paved walking, hiking, biking path that can be accessed by simply walking up our driveway. This trail also connects you with the Superior Hiking Trail, Iona’s Nature Area (.5 miles), a beautiful pink rhyolite beach, and Twin Points Water Access (.25 miles) where sea kayakers can access the Lake Superior State Water Trail.
After enjoying the beauty of the Northland, take rest in our 3,500 square foot executive home. The home includes 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Each room was designed to reveal a picture postcard of Lake Superior, especially the Great Room with its 14 foot high windows and 180 degree view. The master bedroom includes a king-sized bed, an en suite bathroom and spa tub. The upstairs flat also includes a king, futon, and couch with an en suite bathroom. The main floor includes two other queen bedrooms and a private bathroom. To further the Northland experience, we have handpicked all of the prints and pictures found in the inn revealing the iconic places of the North Shore.
The modern open concept kitchen boasts all stainless steel appliances and wine fridge. The 4x7 foot granite topped island will provide the room you need to create your own one of a kind meal. Cabinets and drawers are well stocked with utensils, glass and stemware, plates, baking and serving dishes. The Inn also has Blue-tooth and WiFi accessibility. We also provide eco-friendly soaps, linens, Keurig coffee machine, and a hair dryer in every bathroom.
As the day closes, enjoy some late night conversation on the 3 season porch as you listen to the wash of the waves and watch the lights of the iron boats as they glide by. You can also relax on the 400 sq. foot attached deck that overlooks the lake, or relax and play some yard games in our new 2500 sq. foot green space, complete with pergola.

Wonderful location and outdoors spaces along Lake Superior. Fun to watch boats and kayakers go by. We enjoyed cooking in the gourmet kitchen. Spacious house with the perfect bedrooms/great room/deck layout for a family gathering. We'd love to make it back again next year!

The property and setting are truly gorgeous. We loved our time in the house, on the deck and scrambling around on the rocks below at the waters edge. Stunning!

Beautiful home! Sunrises, porch time, relaxation, perfect family getaway. Location is excellent. Very clean, spacious, all the essentials were provided, easy to arrive and do nothing more. We loved walking down by the water and getting our toes wet in the water. The weather was VERY hot when we visited, it was our fault for not realizing there was no AC. But there are a couple fans. We won’t hesitate to stay here again, everything was excellent! Owner was very responsive, excellent communication .

My family stayed at this property for the 4th of July 2024. We were able to enjoy a lot of family time. From smores on the campfire, puzzles at the table, meals cooked in the kitchen and game night around the table, my family enjoyed their time together. The house was easily large enough to house the 6 adults that attended, and we are talking about doing this again next year.

The house is BEAUTIFUL! The view of Lake Superior is SPECTACULAR!! That said, the living room sectional needs replacing BADLY!!! The mattresses is all the bedrooms are getting very soft & worn out. There are several spots on the hardwood floor by the half bath that needs serious attention. Those spots have gotten worse in the 5 times we've rented this home. I can't believe they haven't been repaired. A serious tripping hazard.

Our family of seven stayed at the property on the north shore for a week. We found the property to be as shown in the photos - beautiful, comfortable and inviting. The highlight for us was the screened in porch. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the spectacular view without the mosquitos. Everything was clean and in working order. The owner was very helpful and responsive. In short, a wonderful vacation!

This was a second stay for us at this lovely home: 5 adults and 2 kids 6 and 4 years. They loved their own special kid bed and futon bed upstairs. Plenty of space for all with thoughtful layout. We ate all meals in and the kitchen is well equipped. The big draw of course is the view from the home and decks. Spectacular!! Great for bird watching too. We hope to return to this rental again.

Perfect home and location for a family holiday gathering (we had 8 adults). Interior is spacious, and the kitchen worked well for making the big meal. Beautiful view right on the lake. The outside deck and 3 season porch looked like they would be great for a warm weather trip. Great hiking/walking right from the house, with Split Rock and Gooseberry a few minutes way. Joe (host) was very responsive and helpful. A great place!

The house is large enough to accommodate eight adults with common spaces that encourage conversation. The views of the Lake are breathtaking and the porches get you close to the Lake’s action. Overall, the house is well-equipped in terms of linens, kitchen, and amenities. The hosts are amazingly responsive and helpful.

This is the perfect spot for a reunion. The house is large. It can accommodate a large number of people. There are several areas where you can sit to enjoy smaller conversations, and a large room where you can visit. Oh, the view is spectacular. The house is about 15 miles north of Two Harbors making for a quiet spot away from any towns. Betty’s Pies is about 10 miles away. It is a must lunch and pie spot.

We absolutely adored staying at this house! It was right on the gitchi gami trail and loved biking from there everyday. I would highly recommend this house and location as it's about 20 minutes away from Two Harbors and convenient to so many North Shore attractions.

Great stay, the space in the house was perfect for our large group. Beautiful property and close to many things. Was expecting more yard space based on the pictures but the driveway and front yard had plenty of space for the kids to play catch with a football and to play some corn hole. Great host too. Fun time!

We loved the location of this home. Great state parks within a few miles. The paved trail at the end of the driveway was a plus for bike rides and stroller walks. It was the perfect place for our growing family to hang out and enjoy the best that the north shore has to offer. A wonderful property that included everything we were looking for.

Beautiful location & views. Somewhat dated house. Living room features one sectional sofa that’s fairly worn out and difficult to get out of. There’s no coffee table to put drinks or books etc upon. We had the unfortunate experience of having the central smoke alarms all go off in the middle of our last night for no apparent reason which really impeded everyone’s sleep. We appreciated the hybrid grill and overall a very nice rental.

The location is ideal. Situated between Gooseberry Falls and Split Rock Lighthouse, while being close to two harbors. We were a group of 8 college friends in our 60s. So having the two king size beds and the two queens were perfect. Everyone had privacy, yet the common areas are large and spacious. Top end appliances and the kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed as we cooked every meal at the house. Our only minor disappointment was that the firepit area has been taken over by the foliage so it wasn't as inviting as the pictures portray it to be. But again, this is VERY MINOR and my rating is 6 stars out of 5!!!!

The pictures did not do this listing justice. It was beautiful and well maintained. We loved the openness of the main living area. Perfect for a gathering of people to hang out, talk and play games. Hoping we can go back and use the outdoor areas when it is warmer!

We had a wonderful 8 days at this North Shore gem. House is great, very clean, well supplied with everything you need. It is a great home for families and groups. We biked the trail, hiked the many state parks nearby, visited the nearby restaurants and enjoyed the large deck and views of the lake. It’s a perfect location along the shore. Joe was very accommodating. We look forward to another stay at this wonderful house.
