About this property

Madeline Island LAKESIDE Cabin on the Shore of Lake Superior - "BAYSIDE"

Our 2 Bedroom (Lakeside), knotty pine paneled cabin, sits so close to the water that you can hear the waves hitting the beach. Read a book in front of a crackling fire. Sit on the porch, or on the dock and watch sailboats glide by. Watch the water birds fish and hear loons call across the bay. Walk the beach. Relax and do what you like, it is all here on the Island!

Enjoy a scenic, relaxing drive to the Bayfield Peninsula and the Apostle Islands National Park. Just 220 miles from the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, 1.5 hours drive from Duluth International Airport.

Madeline Island is located 9.3 miles by ferry boat, off Wisconsin's north most point; the Bayfield Peninsula.

This is a wonderful spot and a well-maintained home. Watched the sun and moon rise over Lake Superior and enjoyed the fireplace and the grill. Porch overlooking the lake is a very special place, and the whoosh of the waves is so calming!

The house and property are well taken care of, beautiful beach and view.

This is a perfect place to get away from the busy work and school schedules. It allows you to just unplug all the electronics, slow down, enjoy each other's company and take in beauty of Lake Superior.

Bayside is a perfect little beach house!

Jim and Renee do an amazing job of keeping things simple, humble and clean! I rent this sunny little retreat as it's "almost off the grid" as far as my phone service goes as well as there is no TV which allows my family for the past decades have a much needed unplug!!!

Lovely Beachside Cottage!

The cottage was well equipped with thoughtful details, great maintenance, and very clean. It was appropriately cozy and feels very spacious with the vaulted ceiling. We loved the wood-burning fireplace, the porch with 180 degree views, the amazing dock, and the cabin's proximity to the water. Absolutely perfect for us! Enjoyed our weekend at the lake celebrating our 25th anniversary!

Cabin at Big Bay

Jim was very considerate and took care of the small issues we had as well as making good recommendations. The cabin is a perfect size for 2-4 vacationers with beautiful access to the Lake and a short bike ride/drive to Town Park or Big Bay State Park for unforgetable beach walks and, yes, even swimming. We kayaked, hikes, biked, and even made the short trip via ferry on foot to dine and shop in Bayfield.
