Tamarack House on Lake Superior

DobrinkaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We visit the North Shore every year and this was our first time on the beach, though rocky, of Superior. And boy were we right in the beach. Gorgeous views, sounds and smells. We were there right after a storm and the host was very proactive about a fallen tree and communicated right away. The house is clean, private and warm. We were there in a cold weather snap! We got to bring our pup too and it felt just like home. The water situation takes some getting used to, but ultimately is the same as going for a swim. So we all do it. The views and privacy are well worth. We will be back next year!

My friend and I stayed here for two nights on our roadtrip out from Vancouver to Toronto, and it was a gorgeous place. We loved the cottage, the views were incredible, and we felt as cozy as can be. Our hosts were extremely helpful, and were very responsive.

The Burrow on Tucker Lake - Gunflint Trail

TashaRating, 5 stars2 days ago

In the words of my cabin-particular husband, This Is Right. The Burrow is perfect. It is very apparent that Don and Casey take joy in hosting and have thoughtfully designed their rental. It’s so private and feels remote (the birds you’ll hear!) but it’s just a short drive to great food and even more amazing views. Please check this one out!

Our stay at Chester's yurt was an amazing first yurt experience! If you're looking for a peaceful place to escape the hustle and bustle, this is it. Our host Rob, was amazing, and always available to answer questions and to show us around the area. Nestled in the trees, it was so private and relaxing, with a suana to relax us even more. It was so hard to leave! Highly recommend!
