Jack S Bender purchased this Cabin in 2005
Why Jack S Bender chose Port Wing
We had always traveled the North Shore once a year for vacation once a year. Ten years ago I had a overnight business appointment in Bayfield, WI. With down time I drove the shore from Bayfield to Duluth and fell in love with the area. The water is so much warmer, the sunsets are incredible and it is so quiet and serene. We purchased the lot and built a log home in 2005.
What makes this Cabin unique
We purchased the lot because we felt it had the very best view of the lake from the south shore. We have 400 feet of shore line to view the lake. The home was built 75 feet from the bluff line. The triangle windows, and the two loft gables were designed to take advantage of the view of the lake.

So Nice!
Great location on a small bluff overlooking Lake Superior. Peaceful and quiet; no neighbors. A few eagle sightings added to the ambience. Fire ring with more than an adequate supply of firewood was a great way to enjoy the evenings. The home is large, comfortable and full of interesting decor. Home was clean and beds were very comfortable. Three miles to Port Wing for housekeeping necessities. About eighteen miles to Iron River for a full service grocery and a meat market. Smoked brown sugar salmon from Johnson's convenience store in Port Wing was awesome. Friday night fish fry at the Port Bar and Restaurant should not be missed - we preferred the trout over the whitefish. The only downside (and can not be prevented) is that the water smells of iron. We suggest you bring your own drinking. Seamless process for renting, access, and instructions was very much appreciated. Thanks for making your home available to us!
Beyond amazing! Everything about the cabin and property was beauty and impeccably clean.
So very happy we found this place! I hope we are able to come back some day soon! Absolutely perfect!
Gorgeous sunsets and loved the sound of the waves!
Property was perfect! Well maintained and 20 yards from Lake Superior! They provided wood for our nightly bonfires! The night skies are filled with stars. The best we’ve ever seen. Owner was very responsive to our needs!
Best view of the Lake. Gorgeous in any weather!
Nicely decorated, incredibly comfortable, plenty of room and all the amenities! What else do you need? Just the right mix of people and you're set for a great week.
Beautiful place
Beautiful place, even better then the pictures. Our group had a wonderful time, plenty of room and honestly felt at home during our stay. We will be back.
Map
People really enjoy getting out and taking in so many options from Duluth to Ashland Wisconsin. There is so much to do and see you would have to stay the whole summer. Many folks also just love to hunker down at the cabin and just relax.
