About this house rental

The unique feature of this property is the spectacular panoramic high bluff view of Lake Superior. Our property has direct access to the Blue Jay Vista Trail for both snowmobiles and ATV's. The A-frame structure features vaulted 2-story window views facing east to Lake Superior. Relax or dine on a second-story deck that provides expansive views along the north shore, Lake Superior, and the sun setting through the woods. The A-frame is completely secluded on 6 wooded acres. The property features two outdoor fire pit areas with plenty of seating and fire wood is provided.

Another unique feature is the location. Easy access for groceries, wine and spirits, eateries, and gas. Beaver Bay is close by with more restaurants and shopping. With several state parks nearby, guests will find numerous hiking and biking trails, waterfalls, and scenic views. A snowmobile/ATV trail system is within walking distance of the property.

The A-frame was completed in 2009 and is a perfect blend of new amenities and an 'up north' interior décor complete with log railings, furniture, and tongue & groove throughout. The great room has a vaulted ceiling and panoramic unobstructed views of Lake Superior. Enjoy an even more expansive view from an outdoor seating area on the edge of the bluff.

The best place we have stayed at on the north shore. Incredible view with lots to do on the property like relaxing in the hammock,playing horseshoes, having fires in the two fire pits, sitting out on the point etc. Dave was great when we had a little problem with one of the TV he responded very quick to our issue and walked us through it. A great week we didn't want to leave to go home.

Very clean, well-deigned and decorated property with 2 decks and 2 fire pits with great views of the lake. In the evening we were sitting outside and a deer strolled across the lawn 20 feet from us. The owner was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to questions. We took his recommendation for a local restaurant and were pleased. Super convenient to lots of parks and great hiking.

The views are amazing from both of the decks. The A-frame is well-equipped along with being very private. Close to lots of North Shore activities. Unfortunately, the air conditioning did not work when the temperature in the house was 85 degrees; luckily the weather cooled down and we didn’t need it for the rest of the trip. Beautiful place to spend time on the North Shore!

My family of 4 enjoyed 5 nights of rest and relaxation at this beautiful home. It is even better in person than in the pictures. We had a bit of a weather-related snafu and Dave called us before we even realized the issue, and was communicative throughout. We were so grateful for that. We'd definitely recommend this home to anyone who wants to get away from it all, while also having easy access to so many great North Shore spots.

I think this property is no longer on VRBO. It has a great view. Rate was a little misleading because any more than 2 guests had a per guest charge, which was strange for a 3 BR / 2 BA property. All good but more than I would usually spend, just needed a place available for Grandma's.

Fantastic view, cozy cabin

The cabin was as listed, beautiful view and warm and toasty. The kitchen had everything you would need, including an air dryer, toaster oven and Keurig. The beds were comfortable, heated floors were awesome. We were close to snowmobile trails. Two bedrooms downstairs and one up makes it nice for families. Thank you for a great getaway!

The property was very relaxing with beautiful views. We especially liked the campfire. We had campfires morning and evening enjoying the views of Lake superior. A blessing that we were there during peak colors. The property itself didn’t have spectacular colors but Lutsen Ion the gondola was spectacular.

The view was stunning; every day the lake looked different. We followed Dave's advice about places to eat & things to do, & had fun exploring the area. We ate in sometimes, spent lots of time drinking wine, talking, & relaxing. I have never felt so peaceful at any rental before. You will love it there!

The view was beautiful. We got there on Thursday. Found the house clean. The owner states 2 keys, however, only 1 per door. We also found that all the bamboo touches were up however all empty by the fire pit, the heaters on the 2 patios had empty propane cylinders we had to find and change. The upstairs patio also had a small fire bowl that had a small propane tank that was empty with no refills. On Sunday morning we found a mouse in the house. We removed it from the house.

Beautiful home and views

Beautiful home and views

This home looks just like the pictures on VRBO. We arrived and upon entering were thrilled to see how beautiful it really is. Everything was clean and you can tell the owner (Dave) takes pride in his home. We have booked many times through VRBO and this was far the best one we've stayed at. As others have stated the kitchen is definitely on the smaller side but was just fine for us. Each morning waking up, getting a cup of coffee, taking in the views and watching the ships from either of the decks was so amazing. We even enjoyed a few games of horseshoes outside when it cooled off. We went and visited Tettegouche State Park, Split Rock Lighthouse, Gooseberry Falls State Park, beaches, stores and ate at some local restaurants. We were thrilled to see a bear crossing the road when leaving the cabin one afternoon. Thank you Dave for sharing you amazing property!

Dave was easy to work with and exceptionally responsive to emails/ messages. The A-frame is gorgeous; a true home away from home. It was wonderful coming "home" after a day of hiking and exploring state parks along the North Shore. We would come back again!

This a great, well-stocked property with a beautiful hill-side view of the lake from up high. The hammock and upstairs deck were favorites of our group! Although we didn't need it, there is ample space in the yard for running around with the kids. We loved that Black Sand beach is right across the road!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Loved the views, used the campfire to cook our dinner, sat on the 2nd floor deck, played provided board games, watched TV, felt clean, safe and private. Loved that it was basically zero entry if we wanted to come back with aging parents with everything they would need on the main floor . Felt like staying in someone's home. Enjoyed the solar lights in the Mason jars too.

Had a great time, the location was perfect literally 3 minute drive to black sand beach. Local groceries stores were nearby so that was super convenient. The view from the cabin was much more then I expected, so in a sense it was way better then the photos. I would highly recommend this cabin, the AC was great as well and the fire pit, differently bring some mosquito sprays. Overall, Great cabin and had a good time!

Great location

Great location

Our entire family enjoyed our stay at the Sanctuary on the North Shore. It was a great place to relax, and even though we could hear traffic from Rt 61 outside, inside the house, it was very quiet, and the place had a secluded feeling. The place is a great location to explore the shore, all the hiking trails in the area, and even a bit of the BWCA. Dave's suggestions for places to visit and restaurants in the area were greatly appreciated, since we had never been to the North Shore. He quickly responded to a question I had while we were there. It was much appreciated.
