Our Lake Superior Tour

We really picked the perfect place to experience a taste of the north shore of Lake Superior. At Loon's Nest we immediately felt able to unwind and enjoy this great setting. The starlit skies were 5 stars. This cottage has everything you could need and all the extras. I loved sitting on the chaise chair with the most luxurious blanket around me. Morning coffee looking out at the water was the best feeling. The area is safe, away from Thunder Bay, but close enough to visit. It is nice that there are other homes close by, but you feel absolutely secluded with total privacy. Loon's Nest is a gem!! Look no further, this is just as great as it appears. Lots of value in what you experience here.

Honeymooning @ The Loon's Nest!

The Loon's Nest was exactly what we needed. They have thought of everything, very well decorated and supplies for anything you could possibly need. Hot tub was fabulous and breathtaking views of Lake Superior. We saw a fox, many birds, and a bear twice! He ran across the driveway and across the lawn while we were walking down to the water! 10/10 would definitely stay again. Brian was very easy to communicate with and check in/out was seamless. Thanks for a beautiful stay!

Illinois to Canada

This cabin was absolutely perfect for our trip to Canada!! The entire process from booking until the time we left, was seamless! The owner responded quickly and went above and beyond to answer my (many) questions! When we arrived, we could not believe how amazing the view from the back deck was. Breathtaking really! So serene and relaxing out there too. All of the amenities were perfectly described and came in incredibly handy being a ways away from any shopping/dining options. The hot tub was icing on the cake! When the temperature dipped lower of an evening, that was where we spent our time! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your little slice of heaven for a few days! If we come back, we would absolutely stay here again!

Short and Sweet

we did not get to stay long, but it was great. Hot tub was perfect for the cool days and nights. Fire ring kept us warm while we looked for the Northern Lights. 30 minutes from Thunder Bay, so you can get your city needs and then retreat to the wilds of Lake Superior.

The Ultimate Luxury Stay

This cabin was meticulously clean and beautifully decorated. It has everything..hot tub, 2 fire pits, and a beautiful view of Lake Superior. The owner was easy to work with and checked in via text to see how everything was going. The location of this cabin is fantastic too—it’s close to hiking trails. We will be back!!! DEFINITELY

The View, View, View!!!

The decor and the view makes this a very inviting cottage! The hot tub was a real treat! The host also had other thoughtful touches. The beautiful farm table was perfect for eating and evening card playing. It is convenient to have Mink Mountain Trail down the road. Gorgeous lookout but steep trail. Wear hiking boots! Saw a red fox and a loon on Mink Bay. This is a great place for sunrise and moon photos! We are so happy that we chose to stay here rather than in Thunder Bay. Tranquil. In summary, it's the VIEW, VIEW, VIEW!!!

We loved it here! The house is cute and cozy with a great view.

This house is a little off the beaten path which was exactly what we were looking for. Comfortable and cozy and accommodated my family of 5 with a nice patio and outdoor sitting area. All the comforts of home with extra touches to make it feel more like a vacation ! Great host with fantastic recommendations!

Serene cottage

Our stay at the Loon’s Nest was delightful. The cottage was bright and clean with very comfortable furnishings. The view is amazing from nearly every window! We found the space to be well stocked with everything we might need and had some nice touches like the bathrobes and local soap. We had a wonderful time!

Great place to stay for us

This was an absolutely great place to stay for us! We came to Canada to ski Loch Lomond but didn't want to stay in a hotel. Brian was great - very easy check in, all instructions given, and he was available for any questions. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay that isn't in the city (it is about 30 minutes to Thunder Bay and the nearest grocery store). Gorgeous scenery, outdoor hot tub, and all the comforts of home. Highly recommend!

A great location for our stay in the Thunder Bay area. All we needed to feel comfortable and peaceful. While other cabins along the lake we saw no one and heard little but the sounds of the lake and nature. Thanks for letting us enjoy your property.

A warm & inviting cottage on Lake Superior

I cannot say enough good things about this property & its owners. The cottage itself is spotless and beautifully decorated. The bed in the master bedroom is very comfortable & has a fantastic view overlooking the lake. The hot tub is a wonderful way to finish up a busy day of hiking & exploring while sipping wine & admiring the view. The outdoor deck, dining table, umbrella & zero gravity chairs are hard to resist on a beautiful day! The kitchen is well stocked with any spice or cooking utensil that you could possibly need. Everything is organized & easy to find. There is a fantastic hiking trail 10 mins down the road from the cottage that gives you outstanding views from the top of Mink Mountain, overlooking Sturgeon Bay. Listening to the sounds of the loons in the morning was a gift from nature. Brain & Cathy were very helpful & responded quickly to any questions/concerns. We had a wonderful vacation in Thunder Bay & this property was a big part of it!

Spring Break 2020

We love the Loon's Nest and hope to be back in the summer. The owners were so responsive, even when we had car trouble (not once, but twice!). Sitting out in the hot tub overlooking the breathtaking scenery before dinner, making our own meals in the fully appointed kitchen, and watching a movie from the extensive collection every night was just perfect. We would also recommend skiing at Loch Lomond and visiting the Thunder Oak Cheese Store! Thank you for sharing your gem of a VRBO with us and we'll be back!
