Guest House on Owners Lakefront Property

This is our guest house. It is very nicely appointed with hardwood cabinets, tile and hardwood floors, and professional grade appliances. The lower level has an open living/dining area with a fully equipped galley kitchen. Large dining table. Patio doors with view of the lake. There is a full bath down. One bedroom with one queen and one full bed. Upstairs is queen bed with sitting area, and small bedroom with queen bed. Bath up is shower/toilet only.

This house sits on owner's homestead with a spectacular view of the Apostle Islands from a high bank. Access the large permanent pier by stairs (about 125) or by electric tram to shore end of dock. There is a swim ladder if you care to venture into the cold, clear waters of Lake Superior. Many guests do, and describe the experience as "spiritual".

The dock sits at the south end of Hidden Beach, which is accessible only to residents of the local development. Most of the time you will have the beach to yourself. Enjoy watching the fishing and sailboats heading towards anchorages at Stockton Island. Eagles nest and perch in the tall pines along the shore.

Everything was great. Check-in was smooth with Larry giving us an overview of how everything works. Kitchen was was well appointed (bring your own spices)Knives could use some sharpening. (I'm fussy) The beach was beautiful, the kids loved doing the steps to get their steps in. I used the lift on the way back up.

The guest house was clean, comfortable and had all the amenities we needed, including s’mores sticks, plentiful Tupperware and nice pots and pans. Bring spices and cooking oils in addition to your regular groceries as the store on the island is very small and limited. We really enjoyed walking down the beach, swimming in the water, hanging out on the dock and watching the sunset. The tram to the beach was very convenient and would be excellent for older people and babies who can’t do the 125 stairs. Larry, the property owner, was friendly and helpful but not invasive at all. Highly recommended!

Family Week at Madeline Island

Overall great time at Larry's property. The place was well stocked and the toddler bed was a great surprise. The lift down to the lake was great to get everyone down. The beach was great, the kids swam almost every day. He provided fire wood which was very nice. Used the grill for meals l. Plenty of space for our group of 7, three generations.

Great island stay

We really enjoyed our stay on Madeline island! The house was great! We enjoyed time on the beach and were glad for the lift up the hill between the beach and the house. The owners were friendly and helpful. The furniture was clean and comfortable. The appliances all worked well. Things to note: bring your own spices/seasonings. Also, the property is about 20 minutes from the ferry landing (some of which is over a well maintained dirt road). We enjoyed the state and county park as well as local boat tours and rentals.

Adventure North

We had an amazing time here. The island has so much to do that even the teenager was impressed, and of course you can’t go wrong spending time at the lake. The tram made it so easy to transport everything to the dock and beachfront. The property was great, very comfortable and clean, with everything we needed for our stay. The hosts were so welcoming and nice, even answering all of my curious kiddos questions. If you are thinking about adventuring north to explore Lake Superior, I highly recommend staying at the guesthouse.

Awesome stay on Madeline Island!

Thank you, Shelby, Larry & Marge for a GREAT week on Madeline Island! We had 3 adults and 3 kids (16, 12, 10) and the house was just awesome. Plenty of space for all of us, w/comfy places to sleep and hang out. We LOVED the beach and dock. There was no one else to be seen the entire time except for distance sailboats. We didn't use the canoe or kayak at the house, but we did borrow the canoe at the town park which was a great perk we didn't expect. We also didn't use the grill, patio, or fire ring because the biting bugs happened to be extra hungry when we were there, but I'm sure lots of guests love hanging out there after adventurous days. The natural landscaping on the property is beautiful and it was always fun to return to Shelby's enthusiastic greetings. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, clean, unique stay on Madeline Island - 5+ stars!

Delightful

What a delightful guest house right on the shore of Lake Superior! There was plenty of room for three couples (though the small bedroom really is small). There is ample dining space with tables for six in both the house and on the patio. Bring lots of bug spray! Due to county regulations, the kitchen isn’t as well stocked with condiments and spices as we’re used to, so be sure to bring your own. The trolley down to the quiet beach and dock enabled my husband who has limited mobility to join us as we enjoyed canoe rides, exhilarating dips in the water (for some of us) and breath-taking evening sunsets. Larry and Marge are wonderful hosts, right there on the property when needed but never intrusive of our privacy. Would love to come back and highly recommend.

Amazing house with easy beach access

A beautiful home with plenty of space and all the necessary amenities. The location is remote from town for complete quiet listening to the birds. There was not a day that my teens and I did not go down to the beach via the steps or tram and enjoy the quiet dock and walking up the beach. It was the perfect place to go instead of out in the car or after a bike ride or hike to cool down and relax. The kitchen was excellent with beautiful wood sourced from the site of the house. My teens noted that this is definitely a house we should return to again. Larry was an excellent host. He was very flexible with arrival given some traffic issues along the way. He was great to talk to about the wildlife, the area, the weather patterns, etc. yet he was very respectful of our privacy and never intrusive. He was available by a quick text with any needs and even texted us to warn us of a coming storm.

Perfect, again

A quiet but astonishingly beautiful getaway. The house is comfortable, well equipped, and full of natural light. We find we spend one happy day after another hanging out on the dock with a book, jumping in and out of the clear and bracing water of Lake Superior, and watching birds and sailboats go by.

Truly Great Escape

Beautiful home, as described. We had a great time. Larry was 100% responsive. We enjoyed the lake and kayaking. We had 1 yo baby with us, Larry set us up with all needed supplies for the baby, so we didn't regret keeping all our helpful baby equipment at home. North end of an island provided us with the seclusion we were looking for.
