About this house rental
Looking for privacy? Welcome to Stony Shores Retreat!
Walk down to Lake Superior’s shores on the wide mowed path from the lakeside of the house to the secluded shoreline area. A small lane along the edge of the property allows you to drive down if you prefer. You can even take your canoe/kayak down and launch right from the shore. A large mowed open lawn close to the lakeshore says “come play”; you have the whole 200’ of Lake Superior frontage for your private enjoyment! Adjoining properties are privately owned and the lakeshore is not public property, so please do not trespass on neighbors’ lakeshore. There is a fire-pit and chairs down by The Lake for those evening campfires. NOTE: Because of the uneven surface of stones frequently tossed up by the Lake storms, use the lakeshore “beach” and fire-pit at your own risk. As always, use caution when walking on loose and uneven stone surfaces if venturing off the mowed lawn area.
Brilliant sunrises, gentle waves, wildlife visitors, screeching eagles perched high in the shoreline trees, a variety of birds and even calling/dancing loons and white pelicans are all frequent sights. Living On The Big Lake offers something different every day. IMPORTANT: after arrival please contact local property managers who live nearby directly for any assistance or needs. Contact info is posted inside the entry and at kitchen island.
This is a remodeled rustic coastal retreat with large floor to ceiling patio doors across the back looking out at Lake Superior. (Please be cautious as these patio doors do open but there is no step or deck adjoining the home at these doors). The home has all hardwood floors, wood burning fireplace, fully equipped open kitchen with island, TWO remodeled bathrooms, three bedrooms, deck and patio.
With this kind of unrivaled access to the Lake Superior shore, you may want to spend the entire stay reconnecting with loved ones and nature. But if you do wish to explore the area further, you are close to so much the North Shore has to offer.

Nice and cozy, although the couch could use an upgrade. There was not a fire pit by the house as stated(way better by lake any way). Otherthan that, very enjoyable stay. The grounds are very spacious with great landcaping. Bring your corn hole set or other lawn toys. Firepit on lake was absolutely perfect for evening fires.

We had a great stay with our sons and their girlfriends! We enjoyed a lakeside fire, spending time on the deck taking in the great view, and hiking at a few of the great spots nearby. There was a great space for lawn games that we brought along, although Mother Nature sent a full day of rain so that didn't happen. No matter, we moved indoors for board games in the light and airy living area and enjoyed watching the weather cross over the lake. After the fierce competition, some found their way back to their comfortable bedrooms and listened to the thunder while drifting off to a rainy afternoon nap. The kitchen was well stocked - although I would suggest adding a 9x13 pan and a pizza pan. We did have to replenish the toilet paper during our stay as there was only one additional roll in each room, but the grocery store is a quick drive away and it came in handy for things we forgot to pack. Also a great asset to this property was being able to drive down to the lakeside fire pit as I have knee issues and it was great to be able to enjoy that time with my family. Thank you for a wonderful time spent with family at one of our favorite vacation spots!!

The view was spectacular, the beds were comfortable, and the WiFi was fine.However for the premium price charged, it comes with an expectation of cleanliness. It was gross. We took pictures of an area of the floor we cleaned and compared it to the rest: disgusting. The layers of dust on lights and fans was amazing. The toilets were not cleaned very well, and there was food left in the fridge that had gone bad that we had to clean out.
