Private beach and nature preserve on Lake Superior and Mineral River.

A true piece of majestic grandeur on Lake Superior near the Porcupine Mountains. A stunning home nestled in a coastal boreal forest with full access to a private nature sanctuary and beach at the mouth of the Mineral River on Lake Superior! Eight hundred feet of frontage on the Mineral River, great for paddling and fishing and 400 feet of beach on Lake Superior, perfect for summer days with kids. No other homes are within sight anywhere on the property. This truly feels like your own private wilderness. There are newly constructed boardwalks and nature trails, making the beach and property easily accessible.

Located a stone's throw from the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park with a beach that continues for a quarter mile onto public land. Don't miss a stay at the most stunning accommodation in the region.

Guests will have full access to the entire house. Upstairs rooms have views of Lake Superior through the forest! This nature-themed eco-lodge has everything needed for a great vacation in the U.P. with a spectacular beach and access to the Mineral River, private nature trails, and boardwalks. A great place for kids and adults with 5 separate rooms with guest accommodation, plus common areas, 3 porches, and a gas Weber grill available for use. A 1/3 mile nature trail/boardwalk system through the enchanting forest and across swale wetlands was completed in spring 2020.

The kitchen has a large island with three chairs for additional dining, an electric stove, a large microwave, a dishwasher, and a full-size fridge. The cupboards are fully stocked with dishes, dish towels, pots, pans, utensils, and silverware - pretty much everything you would need for meal prep/cooking, including a coffee pot. Eco-friendly dish soap will be provided. An upstairs bunk bed with some toys for kids makes it great for families. A closet with games and additional toys and two spacious living areas downstairs are ideal for low-key social events and family gatherings. However, large gatherings, such as weddings, are not allowed on the property due to possible impacts on the driveway, septic, and beach.

Bonus: a shipwreck sits just offshore within easy reach of experienced kayakers and paddleboarders.

This is very private! No houses/neighbors can be seen from the residence or anywhere on the property. The house is a short walk (100 ft) from your own slice of sandy beach in a coastal boreal forest which is contiguous with the most beautiful beach in the Porcupine Mountains with natural sand dunes. Only minutes from Lake of the Clouds and countless beautiful hikes and waterfalls in the state park, the Ottawa National Forest and beyond! There are plenty of restaurants and a few stores about a mile away in Silver City, yet when you are here it certainly feels like the wilderness with the continuous roar of Gitche Gumee.

The most romantic getaway!
My husband and I were looking for a place with some quiet, some beautiful views and creature comforts. This place has it all! The cabin was spacious, kitchen amazing for cooking big meals, the private beach and hiking trails were picture perfect and the solitude was unmatched. Being somewhere where it could literally be JUST the two of us was incredible! Ryne really put the work into making this place magical. I am a birder and the books on birds in the area along with binoculars for use was the cherry on top of this wonderful stay. Thank you and we will definitely return!

Magical Experience!
This was a perfect place to enjoy adventure! It was close to waterfalls, hiking, and the Porcupine Mountains. We loved the privacy of our own beach, riverside and lakeside! A campfire under the brilliant starry heavens with the beauty of roaring waves was an amazing and memorable moment for us. My 8 year old granddaughter loved the trail through the fairy forest! We are truly grateful for the magical experience of this beautiful home! We want to come again.

Hello Porkies!
Excellent location to check out the Porcupine Mountains. House was spacious and plenty of room for everyone. The beach was awesome. One drawback was not being able to see the water from the deck.

Family time at the Porcupine Mountains
This property was a perfect place from which our family could explore the Porcupine Mountain State Park. It is only a few short miles from the park entrance. Its location on Lake Superior and the Mineral River is very private and beautiful. The host has done an excellent job keeping the property natural, creating a nature preserve, and making the beach and river very accessible. The house is well equipped and was very comfortable and the host was very responsive to our questions.

Perfect Secluded Location
We had a great time here. The house fit our family perfectly. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The location was awesome. We loved having our own private beach. Ryne was very kind and left us some wood for the woodstove and even offered the use of his snowshoes.

Great for Winter too!
For those who enjoy winter in the UP and skiing at the Porkies, this is a great place. It had everything our family needed, and I appreciated not having to bring toilet paper, shampoo, dish soap or dishwasher detergent. The wood stove (and stock of firewood) was perfect after a day outside, and the kitchen is well supplied for cooking. We stayed only for a long weekend but I’d add time if you’re able. And if you can work remotely, the desk/library room would make a peaceful and spacious office any time of year!

Charged for Days the place was Not Accessible
We arrived Christmas Eve and the driveway was only partially plowed and the rest was flooded. The owner did not have the driveway plowed until 4 days later. We had to find another place to stay. He refused to reimburse us for those days. He actually made us feel bad for bothering him on his vacation. VRBO was not helpful in getting us a refund.

Truly extraordinary property
Picture in your mind a private refuge where the gently flowing river meets the dazzling blue waters of Lake Superior. Add to that the sun setting on your left, moon rising on your right and a campfire roaring at your feet. We experienced this and more every evening here. The house itself is special on its own, clearly designed with a reverence for the land itself. We thoroughly enjoyed the wood fireplace after long days of hiking in the Porkies. House is well appointed, comfortable, and spacious. Just a stellar place to spend quality time outdoors with family. Highly recommend.

Magical spot immersed in nature
This ecolodge nestled in the woods on the shore of Lake Superior and mouth of river is sure to delight. A sweet short trek to a small private beach with a fire circle and access to a longer stretch of shoreline.. I wish we had more time to spend just enjoying but we were on a mission to experience the best hikes in the Porkies and only had a few days. Bed were comfortable and accommodations spacious and well thought out. I always try to size up the spirit of a place and its custodians, as after all, that is what we are, and this spot has abundant positive energy. We feel grateful to have found this spot.
