Finn McCool | 400’ Private Sugar Sand Beach | North End Escape
Welcome to Finn McCool, a peaceful lakeside hideaway on the “North” end of Madeline Island, just about 20 minutes from the ferry dock in La Pointe.

🌊 The Setting
400 feet of private sugar sand beach
Cabin located just 75 feet from the shoreline
Fire pit for quiet evenings under the stars

This cozy lakeside retreat features:

1 Bedroom
Full Bathroom
Fully Equipped Kitchen
Small living area with lake views

Great Stay

This place was great. We really enjoyed our stay. The one recommendation I would make - is that it would have been nice to have a little more stocked kitchen and bathroom. We stayed 8 days, and there was only one bath towel each, no salt/pepper/ saran wrap or items to hold leftovers. Would have been a nice addition to have a few more basic amenities in the kitchen. Otherwise, we loved our stay.

Nice Little Getaway

Wonderful experience. We enjoyed being so close to the water and having a fire under a blanket of stars at night. The lake was so intensely rough when we arrived. We enjoyed watching as Lady Superior calmed so beautifully thru the course of our stay.
