Lake Superior Getaway - Walk to Water!

North Shore

"This property was a lucky last minute find. Only 15 minutes from UMD, where my son attends. Can safely have windows open overnight and let the Lake Superior waves lull you to sleep. It is a basement apartment and home owners were not present, so I can’t speak on that. Very nice patio with grill as well as wood burning chiminea, both of which we used and enjoyed immensely. Thank you for sharing your property."

"Hot tub was great"

Larsmont Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"This place was amazing. I needed a last minute stay for just one night, and this was available. When I got there, the gal working the desk was incredibly friendly and helpful and welcoming. The room was comfortable and very clean and cozy. I explored the grounds the next day before heading out, and I can honestly say I cannot wait to go back for a longer stay with my wife. When I checked out the guy working was also very friendly and helpful. Can’t recommend this place enough…it’s wonderful!!"
