Timber Frame House overlooking Lake Superior, 20 miles from downtown Duluth
Beautiful timber-framed house with over 3900+ square feet, plus another 1100+ square feet in the guest house. Includes both buildings and 550 feet of private lake shore. It is located at the end of a 3 mile long gravel road. Quiet. Secluded. Private. Come enjoy a beautiful escape on the south shore of Lake Superior. NOW with high speed wifi!

This home was built entirely from locally harvested white pine in 2002. Approximately 100 feet to Lake Superior's sandy shoreline. 10 Queen beds with three custom made bunk beds will be enough to fit your whole family and then some.
Sauna, swimming, camp fires, and star gazing... all to your heartsâ content at this secluded retreat.
The house is as pictured. We loved the two big tables to all eat together. If you have tweens or teenagers they will love the basement with all of the activities. The beach was nice. Very quiet and saw lots of deer up close. I love that they recycle. The owner was very responsive. Everything was great.
It was a great place for our families to be together. The grandkids loved walking down to Lake Superior and walking in the water and gathering rocks. They also loved the lower level with pool table and all the things to play with. It would have been nice if there had been one more shower but we worked it out. Thank you for renting it to us.
Love the vibe of the house and the beauty of the private beach. We also went into Duluth or Superior every day and did the Aquarium, breweries, bike trails, fishing excursions - it was lovely.
This was a gorgeous, spacious home for our group of 17. Check-in was a breeze and our extended family had an awesome get-together. We appreciated the different common spaces both inside and outside. The lake access was great (though the last bit of the path was a little too steep for some our oldest). The nearby Amnicon Falls State Park was beautiful and very accessible.Kitchen-wise: Two coffee pots and the extra frig/ freezer in the guest house came in handy. The grill was a little tricky to operate (pellet rather than more familiar gas) but especially good for low & slow grilling. There were plenty of bathrooms but it would be great if two more of the bathrooms were adapted with handheld shower nozzles in the tubs.
We had our children and their families for Memorial Day weekend. Plenty of room for all of us and the separated houses was nice. The kids LOVED the beach. Too cold to swim but they loved the sand and driftwood. We definitely enjoyed the beautiful view! Kids had plenty to keep themselves busy.
Exactly as described. Perfect place to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The kids had fun hiking and exploring. Going down to the water, then relaxing in the sauna and hanging out at the bonfire.
The team had a wonderful stay and really appreciated all the amenities. We've stayed here for the past couple of years and have enjoyed every year since.
Lots of room. Easily hang out together or head somewhere for some space.Beds and bathrooms very clean. Basement had some small items left on the floor from previous guests (beer bottle tops, unsmoked cigarette). Some of the furniture showing wear and tear. Games available but many pieces missing so can't play several of them. Baby gate was missing a bottom part to secure it so that was a bit stressful with a little one running around.Drive into Duluth is reasonable with lots to do there.missing misding so can't play them. DVD pla
Our family of 7 adults and 4 littles had the perfect Christmas stay. Tons of room to spread out or all hangout in one space together. Lots to do to stay entertained and busy, with plenty of room to sneak away for a nap or to get a good night's sleep.
This was the perfect location for a large group to relax and welcome in 2025. We enjoyed hiking to the shore, games, and enough space for all of us to gather around the fire. The kitchen was adequate to feed everyone and there were seats enough for all to enjoy meals together. The large TV downstairs was great for a few wanting to watch a football game.
Everything about this place was perfect, the views, the house, the layouts, it made forba perfect family vacation and we even got married outside by the woods it was perfect. Will definitely be planning another trip back!
Great place for extended family gathering! Basement had pool table and ping pong which was fun got multi generational games. Massive leather couch was great for sitting in front of the fireplace! 2 of bedrooms upstairs had a wall that didnât go to the top of the ceiling so not private.
Enjoyed our stay. Lots of places outside to sit and enjoy the weather. Wish there was a shower in the upstairs bathroom, but we made it work. Lots of memories made.
Perfect !! House was more thab big enough to hold all of us!! Plenty of things to do at the house to keep busy and being so close to the lake was the cherry on top!! We even got to watch 6 deer chasing and playing
We absolutely loved our stay!! Our family and friends had a blast and couldn't stop talking about what a great place it was. It is a beautiful spot (we loved being that close to the beach!) and there was plenty to do. Kris was an exceptional host and was extremely helpful.
The house and property worked out great for us and four other couples. The view of the lake along with the cool breeze coming off of it was wonderful especially due to the hotter than normal weather we experienced. There was plenty of room in the backyard for outdoor activities. The house itself was perfect in terms of space and comfort for all of us. Would stay there again if the opportunity arises.
We had a large group with all ages and this house worked perfect for everyone. The beach was swimmable and walkable which was a nice surprise- beautiful at sunset. We played wiffleball in the large yard and had outdoor coverage during the rain by using the open garage. The bathrooms are a little outdated but would highly recommend this property!
Beth, Jake, and Kris Hoffman have dreamed about owning a small slice of the north shore life. 15 acres with a timber frame house on the shores of lake superior was too good to pass up. We would love to share our special place with you and your family.
If you're looking for a house with a ton of character you've found a great place to stay. It was hand built in 2002, finished with mortice and tenon joints.
Accents like the spiral staircase and upstairs railing were salvaged from the original Superior, Wi train station. All white pine logs are from within 20 miles of the house. The main fireplace is made of locally gathered rock, as well. Tons of character abounds from every room, and built by master craftsmen. Please come and enjoy our majestic cabin on the shores of Lake Superior.
Deer, eagles, and all types of wildlife abound and can be seen walking through the front and backyard several times a day. Feel the stress melt away as you watch the flickering flame in the main room's hearth. Come and swim in one of the most beautiful lakes and rural areas in the United States. With multiple National Parks and State parks within an hour drive. 30 minutes from downtown Duluth. You can have a little bit of everything.
And did I mention the world class Steelhead fishing in the Brule River just ten miles down the road? Or the yearly salmon runs up the Amnicon, a short half mile from the front door of this house? Resident Walleye are found every spring, as well.
Whether wildlife, relaxation, or outdoors activities are your passion... There's definitely something for everyone.
