Madeline Island Cottage Overlooking Apostle Islands
- Minimum stay:N/A
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:No
A private and quiet setting overlooking the Apostle Islands National Park. Relaxing getaway for two or plenty of space for a gathering of sixteen.
Enjoy enchanting glimpses of wildlife; deer at dawn, lake trout and salmon migrating in spring and fall. The extra-wide, permanent dock reaches 140' into Lake Superior and provides a perfect place to relax on the adirondack chairs and watch children at play or enjoy a serene moment at sunset.
Our architecturally designed cottage has an old world feel. The all-wood interior on the main and upper floors, most of which is milled from old growth Douglas Fir timbers, lend warmth and character to the home. The wrap-around screen porch provides protected outdoor space for dining, reading, playing cards or taking an afternoon nap. The fieldstone rumsford fireplace will take the evening chill out of the air and the 12' dining table will seat a crowd for special meals prepared in the gourmet kitchen.
The lower level 'rainy day' room features table tennis, a kids rock-climbing wall, Blue Ray and DVD player with large flat screen TV. An acoustic guitar is there waiting to be strummed. Plenty of books line the shelves throughout the home.
We are 7 miles from the town of LaPointe where you'll find restaurants, bars, ice cream and souvenir shopping. There are tennis courts available as well as a Robert Trent Jones-designed golf course. Moped, kayak and bicycle rental also available. Take the ferry over to Bayfield for a day trip of shopping and dinner out.
Available for weekly rentals during summer months or shorter periods in fall, winter and spring. Designed by Dale Mulfinger of SALA Architects,

We stayed a week with our extended family. This is a beautiful home, both in design and decoration. The design is amazing because it never felt like there were that many people in the house until we sat down to eat together. The kitchen is great - two dishwashers are awesome when you have a large group. The beach is pristine.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

I just spent the weekend at the house with my family for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. There were 14 of us and there was plenty of room. Its not very often you can find a home with a large kitchen, great common area and bedrooms that are comfortable- this home had it all. The pictures are good but the house is even more beautiful in person. The gourmet kitchen was beyond my expectation in how well it was stocked.- just bring your groceries. The property is secluded and peaceful- we enjoyed early spring with deer and birds. The owners are gracious hosts and easy to get ahold of with questions and concerns. We rented bikes and rode around the island, played a lot of cards on the porch and even did a "polar plunge" into Lake Superior!! I highly recommend this propertyRecommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

We stayed Labor Day weekend 2009 - we had an amazing time. The place, while pricey, is even better in person, and the photos look great so that is saying a lot. There is something for everyone here.Recommended for: Age 55+, pet owners, families with young children, sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, girls getaway.
