About this house rental
The Jenswold House | Historic Lake Superior Retreat with Panoramic Views, Lake Access, Indoor & Outdoor Saunas
Welcome to the Jenswold House, a beautifully preserved Queen Anne Victorian on the shores of Lake Superior. With panoramic water views, lake access, and thoughtful updates that complement its historic character. The home offers an inviting setting for a quiet escape, a family gathering, or a memorable North Shore getaway with friends.
Four comfortable bedrooms provide space for families and groups, while the spacious primary bedroom offers couples a peaceful retreat within the home. Three bedrooms and two full bathrooms are located upstairs, and a fourth bedroom on the main level provides added flexibility for your group. A main-level powder room adds convenience throughout your stay.
One of the upstairs bathrooms is especially spacious, featuring a classic clawfoot soaking tub and a two-person indoor electric sauna. Whether you’ve spent the day along the lake, exploring the trails, or discovering Duluth, it’s a welcoming place to unwind in any season.
The outdoor sauna brings another relaxing experience to your stay, with views of Lake Superior from inside, where you can enjoy the warmth and hear the waves along the shore. Between sessions, sit outside to cool off in the fresh lakeside air and take in the panoramic views. It’s a relaxing way to end a day of exploring or spend a quiet evening by the lake.
The spacious kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals and gather together, while the large dining room comfortably seats everyone around one table. From leisurely breakfasts before exploring Duluth and the North Shore to shared dinners and special celebrations, there’s room to enjoy every meal together.
The lakefront back porch is a favorite gathering place year-round, with panoramic views of Lake Superior and the warmth of a Jøtul gas fireplace stove. Begin the morning with coffee overlooking the water, watch the weather move across the lake, or settle in for a quiet evening as the daylight fades.
The Jenswold House is also a wonderful winter getaway. Settle into the back porch beside the gas fireplace and watch snow drift across the water, with Lake Superior stretching out before you. When conditions are right, you may see ice forming along the shoreline or sea smoke rising from the lake. With indoor and outdoor saunas, a soaking tub, and welcoming spaces to gather, a quiet winter day at the house can be just as memorable as a day spent exploring.
Throughout the home, generous gathering spaces, historic details, and comfortable places to settle in invite you to slow down. Large windows bring in natural light and glimpses of the lake throughout the day, while the home’s original charm lends warmth and character to every stay. Quiet mornings with lake views give way to relaxed evenings and conversation after a full day outdoors.
Whether you come for North Shore adventures, a cozy winter escape, or unhurried time with family and friends, the Jenswold House offers a warm welcome and a memorable stay on Lake Superior.

We had a wonderful time. The house has excellent amenities and is right on the lake. We could not get enough of sitting on the chairs in the garden with the lake lapping on the shore. The home is well stocked and very spacious with morden appliances and thoughtful touches throughout. We would love to go back and spend some more time at the house.

The home and the view are spectacular! Well-appointed with anything you could possibly think of- easy walks to several parks, the lake, Lester River, restaurants, and a grocery store. We made amazing memories here!

Our stay couldn’t have been better. The setup worked perfectly for our family, but more than that the home is simply beautiful. The four seasons room with the fireplace, the view, the sauna, all of it made for a very magical weekend and really was conducive for time spent together just relaxing. We will be back!
