Sanctuary on the North Shore of Lake Superior

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 property was more than we could’ve expected. It was secluded, calm, and completely perfect for our trip. It is in a central location for all types of adventures.

Late Fall getaway

The cabin itself is beautiful. Some suggestions: Would have liked to have known about the availability of the Keurig and washer/ dryer. Would suggest the king mattress upstairs be flipped and rotated. Suggest the dishes, pots and pans and glassware be checked by caretaker. All needed to be rewashed before they could be used. The view from the property is fantastic. The cabin is beautifully furnished and very comfortable. Really appreciated the access to firewood and kindling. We had a very relaxing time. Would absolutely recommend this property to anyone.

Always Magical

A return visit to the A Frame for us after a few years and it's even more special than we remember. A great property, with a stunning overview, on a spectacular stretch of the north shore. Moonlight and dawn views of the sky and lake are particularly wonderful from this spot. The property is immaculately maintained and rental process easy.

The Sanctuary lived up to it's name!

Our family was looking for a place to enjoy the North Shore and celebrate a birthday. We were all together for the weekend and enjoyed the easy access to so many outdoor adventures AND the quiet times spent around the home. From the deck to yard games to bonfires, it really was a wonderful retreat. Dave always responded promptly to my questions leading up to the weekend.

My daughter and I visited the North Shore for the first time, and we absolutely loved our A-Frame! It was so beautiful, and we couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful setting. The beds were so comfortable and we had everything we needed inside and outside. Would highly recommend.

Sanctuary on the North Shore was more than we expected. It's hard to describe, you just have to book it and go there! It was hard to leave. Our fav was seeing the recent harvest moon shimmering on the lake from birds eye view. It was mesmerizing!

A REAL SANCTUARY

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.

Beautiful Property with an amazing view

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.

One of a Kind

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!

Beautiful home and views

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.
