Vacation rentals with lake access in Madeline Island

Went here for my bachelorette weekend getaway and it was PERFECT. Could not have asked for a better place!

We arrived at the house in sub zero temperatures and were very happy to be inside the house with the wonderful radiant heated floors. Warm and cozy! Comfortable beds and warm blankets made for restful nights. The view of the bay is beautiful. Moon rising over the horizon reflected on the ice . We heard Great Horned Owls hooting in the distance. Next visit we hope to come in the summer or fall to walk around more and see the lake. Thanks again!

What a cute place! Quaint clean and so much better than a hotel. Place to stretch out at the end of the day. Walking distance to the lake. When coming back, I’d stay here again!

Staying at Jeff and Susan’s was as easy as it gets— smooth check-in, beautiful location with wildlife out the back door (deer routinely passing through the yard), timely responses to questions, and minimal checkout process. Plenty of spices and cookware to feel like a home away from home. Home was very clean and watching the sunset over the lake from the living room never got old. Will certainly be staying here again!

WR THOROUGHLY ENJOYED OUR ONE WEEK STAY AND HAVE ALREADY BOOKED THE SAME WEEK NEXT YEAR.

We had a blast at Donna & Peter’s place. Great for large parties that are visiting the north shore. Make sure to take advantage of the corn hole set and fireplace in the backyard!

The retreat on the lake was a beautiful place to spend a few days. We were there in the winter, and it was a nice cozy atmosphere to be in. The lake is beautiful, and there are beautiful walking trails in the neighborhood. There is a nice little community beach which would be great in the summer. Ashley was a very helpful and responsive host. Thank you!

Very nice experience. It was an unbelievablely beautiful house (photos don't do it justice). The hosts were friendly and helpful.

An incredible space at the end of a private drive, overlooking the lake. The space was warm and welcoming, literally and figuratively! Loved the front sitting room with floor to ceiling windows to sit and sip coffee and enjoy the views. The proximity to the neighboring Houghton Falls preserve was enjoyed using the trail on the property. Peaceful, relaxing, made use of the large fire pit outdoors with the lake in the background. Close enough to town if you forget something and need to run in real quick, otherwise peaceful privacy to enjoy nature and the beautiful surroundings.

Very clean and cozy. The WiFi wasn’t working which was frustrating as there’s zero cell signal. Otherwise it was very comfortable!

Perfect location. Loved watching the boats coming in and out of the harbor from the porch. Place was clean, bed was comfortable and I loved the decor.

My family and I were very happy with: the location, the great water view from the balcony, the attached bookstore (a must visit), everything you need in Bayfield being within walking distance (including the ferries to the Apostle Islands & the Saturday morning farmer's market), the long list of amenities in the apartment, the cleanliness of the apartment, easily accessible parking spaces, and the quick and thorough responses from the hosts. Some patrons at the bar next door were laughing & having fun a little loudly outside on Friday night when we were going to bed, but the sound machines that were available in each of the bedrooms easily took care of it for us. (Saturday night, the patrons were quiet, but we still enjoyed using the sound machines.) We needed help with the airbed and the hosts took care of it promptly. We would definitely stay here again!

Pearl and Jim are great hosts, very easygoing and always helpful. The apartment is the lower unit, exactly as described. From the great window in the main room to the wonderful deck, large bathroom, comfortable bedroom with plenty of closet and drawer space, everything worked well. The garden and lawn that lead down to a small private beach are beautifully landscaped. The apartment was spotless and comfortable.

If you are fortunate enough, to spend some time on Minnesota’s North Shore, you won’t be disappointed staying here. Brenda and Tom‘s place is exactly as described. It is more than we expected. It is clean, beautifully decorated, and a lovely place to spend a vacation. The location is perfect and so scenic! We enjoyed sitting on the deck and even spotted an Eagle! We had a wonderful time hiking and exploring the surrounding area, including Gooseberry Falls, Grand Marais, and the quaint town of Two Harbors.

We had a very relaxing stay at the cabin right on Lake Superior. The location was perfect to visit nearby Bayfield. The unit had everything we needed for a quick weekend getaway. The host had amazing communication and we look forward to staying in one of their properties in Bayfield next summer.

A nice spot in the middle of Bayport, above a coffee shop so you'll wake up to the smell of coffee and breakfast and want some! interesting layout, lots of steps.

This place is a little slice of heaven on earth. The white cabin has old school charm with an unbeatable view of the bay + a nice patio & firepit. The bonus to this stay was the absolute SIZE of the property. There's everything from a huge open field with an apple tree, to several private beaches, a peaceful quarry, a boat launch, and a trail leading along the shoreline with plenty of benches to rest along the way & take it all in. Pictures don't do this place justice; it's a "see it to believe it" experience.

We really enjoyed Paula's cottage. While small, we loved the authentic feel of a 100+ year old home. Paula did a really nice job updating without losing that authenticity. The location is great if you love enjoying the beauty that the north shore has to offer. We took advantage of the beach that is within walking distance as well as the many trails that are across the highway. Paula was a tremendous host, being quick to answer our questions and offer suggestions. We drove into Duluth multiple times, which is about 20 minutes away. Highly recommend!

This was our second time staying here, and we absolutely LOVE Uncle Bob's Cabin! It's quiet, quaint, rustic, wonderful sunrise hews and sunset views this time of year...it's simple, and simply lovely. Our pups are a big fan of the green space and yard, local squirrels and deer roaming every morning...it's perfect for a getaway to spend time with family for the holiday. We will be back! Thank you!

Very cute place to stay with everything you would need! There was plenty of free firewood, items for the grill, and kitchen supplies. Our stay was very peaceful. The cabin does have other cabins around but other guests were very quiet and respected the quiet hours after 10pm. Highly recommend for a long weekend get away.

This home’s location could not be better—it is nestled in the trees right on the lake and just steps aways from the ski hill allowing you to ski in and ski out! It was down a winding and hilly road that was easy to find with Marks instructions; I was grateful for the all wheel drive on our vehicle to get us there :) The house itself is also very impressive—it was beautiful, well constructed, clean and well stocked. Mark and his brother were super responsive and very friendly. We had a great stay!

I stayed here with my family for the Madeline Island Marathon and I was very comfortable. Great location and good spot to rest. Lovely views and good kitchen to do my own cooking.

Our stay was excellent. The Wi-Fi wasn't working but Aron communicated that prior to our arrival and it didn't impact our stay. The area is a spectacular place to spend your time. The kitchen is a bit small but had pretty much everything we needed. I would highly recommend and would stay there again.

Debbie's cottage is everything the site shows it to be. Staying in this pristine pine cottage nestled on a beautiful Northwoods lake on a quiet road surrounded by birch and pines met every hope and dream for this trip. Especially for my grandson who came with no agenda but to fish. He caught a 12# Northern off their dock! Debbie and Keith were beyond accommodating, so attentive to what we might need. I am so grateful to them and for having had this experience. Strongly recommend this for a Northwoods, lake-life getaway.
