Had a lovely weekend at the Washburn House! Could not ask for a more beautiful view and perfect location (proximity to Washburn - cute little town with everything you need and good restaurants and coffee - North Coast!). Place was as described, clean, and had everything we needed. Lots of outdoor seating options and you can’t beat the sandy beach. Check out Tesner’s dairy nearby and Houghton Falls. Would 100% stay here again.

Quick Getaway

Our family stayed here for a couple nights to enjoy Lake Superior. Even though the weather didn’t cooperate, we enjoyed our time at this home. The kids played in the sand and we loved being able to watch out the window as the rain came down. The owner was very responsive and helped us out with everything we needed. The is a great place to stay for some rest and relaxation!

Midweek 3 night stay. Communications with management were efficient and accurate. Check in, no problems. The property was as expected. The pictures are accurate. Being on the water is a huge asset. It has the “cabin” feel. Wondering if they got a discount on the “cocktial” sign on the beech…

About the host

Hosted by Jon \"Jack\" Armstrong

Host profile image
Born and raised in Ashland, Wisconsin. Worked in the Twin Cities most of our lives and constantly were drawn back to Lake Superior through classmates, relatives, friends, and of course the beauty of Lake Superior and The Apostle Islands. Great people, clean air, fresh artesian water, and the views of the surrounding areas are refreshing everyday that we rise. We look forward to having you enjoy Ashland, Washburn, Bayfield, Cornucopia and the entire area.

Jack & Marie

Why they chose this property

We chose this area because of the beautiful protected beach and views of Lake Superior, the Washburn Marina off in the distance as well as the lights across Chequamegon Bay from Ashland, Wisconsin. Bring your kayak!
Close to the Valhala Pub and great snowmobile trails that go right past the Beach House.
A frontage road is between The Washburn Beach House from the snowmobile trail and adjoining Highway 13. The Snowmobile trail is a biking and walking trail in spring, summer and fall and leads into Washburn, WI. Just 2 miles from Washburn with Food, Spirits, Shops, Gas, Laundry, Grocery store and great parks.

What makes this property unique

Well kept home, in excellent condition and easy to walk down to the beach on the lawn with no steps! Bring your Kayak, Canoe, or snowmobile in the winter and do some Ice Fishing right out from the home.
