Restful
My wife and 10 month old son had a wonderful and restful time here. For anyone bringing children, the space had a few decorations that were at child level but we recognized that beforehand and planned accordingly. Brenda and Tom were great and super helpful at the right times. We had one small issue with a tricky door and they helped us out right away. We just had a really great time here and Tom and Brenda were great hosts. We wanted to hike and visit the various state parks nearby on the North Shore but the stay was so restful we also wanted to just stay and listen to the lake and enjoy the space.

Elderly Getaway
I booked this for my mother in law and a few of her sisters. They loved it! They want to come back. Great location and great facility. Some stairs to climb, but that was known at booking. Thanks hosts for making them comfortable.

Perfect Lakeside Getaway with Stunning Views
We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The location is unbeatable - right on the water with breathtaking views of Lake Superior. The cabin was spotless, and beautifully furnished.
Brenda and Tom were wonderful hosts - friendly and helpful during our stay.
The private balcony was the true highlight of the trip where we enjoyed gorgeous views of the water and lake critters.
This is the perfect stay for a trip up North! We hope to come back again.

Another excellent experience
Our second stay at Brenda and Tom’s was as good as the first. Exactly as advertised with the addition of the sound of lapping waves and the view of soaring eagles. Note: This unit is on the top floor with three sets of stairs, so pack light.

Northshore Paradise !!
Fantastic location , property and hosts ! We were beyond pleased with our stay - truly well appointed property- these folks thought of everything to make it feel like home. Outstanding views and shoreline ! Location can’t be beat either - close to multiple great parks and far enough out of Two Harbors but not too far . Excellent in every aspect !

Nice place
This is a beautiful property in a very convenient location for the main state parks. The accommodations were nice (comfortable beds, clean, beautiful roof top deck, extensive shoreline access). I would caution anyone traveling with younger children, this doesn’t feel like the best place for them. We were constantly concerned the kids were being too loud because the owners are right below you. It just felt a bit awkward. Great, comfortable accommodations, just not ideal for families with children.

Our family enjoyed our short but much needed vacation at this bright and shining star right on the north shore of Lake Superior! We have been vacationing all along this beautiful shoreline for the past 20 years with family. Thank you for making our stay relaxing and memorable! We will definitely love to return in the future.

We would definitely stay here again! Loved the location, scenery, accommodations and bonus games in the house. Brenda was quick to respond to any questions or requests; she even provided a bonus book on wolves and a list of beaches to visit on short notice. Thank you for a lovely and meaningful family vacation!

Great place to stay!
This was a wonderful private apartment with access to a rooftop deck, perfect for relaxing on the water or making a home base to visit the nearby parks. The apartment was beautiful and clean; kitchen had everything needed for cooking. We appreciated the little extras like coffee pods, fruit, and sparkling water. The hosts quickly answered our questions and allowed us privacy. Highly recommend staying here during a trip to the North Shore!

Beautiful Home in a Beautiful Setting
We had an absolutely wonderful stay. From both the spacious roof deck and the well appointed airy apartment, we enjoyed stunning views of Lake Superior. The location is central to anything you care to do on the North Shore and the apartment is a great place to come home to after a day of exploring. The kitchen has everything you need to cook your own meals. But if you aren't in the mood to cook, Rustin Inn is just down the road! Your hosts, Brenda and Tom, are gracious and kind. The great attention to detail when creating their beautiful home shows the love they have for Lake Superior and the North Shore. We will definitely look forward to staying here again in the future.
