About this property

Our Lake Superior Retreat is a 3,300 sq ft log home on Lake Superior nestled on 4.75 acres of wooded land. We prefer to keep our landscape natural and rustic. We like the flora which is indigenous to the area. Wild lupine, ferns, thimbleberry, wild raspberries, etc. No grass, except for natural grasses. The result is our yard is filled with lovely butterflies.
There is plenty of parking space in the driveway. A path going down to the lake and firepit.
The house has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bath, 2 wood burning fireplaces, large deck facing Lake Superior. Views of the lake from every room. Warm rustic Norwegian planking on the interior walls, a spacious great room with an expansive field stone fireplace, a large foyer, a well appointed kitchen, and dining room on the main floor.
The top floor has a loft overlooking the great room with a king size bed, as well as an adjacent master bedroom and bath.
The lower level has 2 bedrooms, TV room with wood burning fireplace, an air hockey table, a laundry room, all again with with the interior walls in Norwegian planking.

The home is beautiful! The amenities are all very nice. It is spacious for a larger group of people. The location is very convenient to both northern and southern north shore. It is right on the lake with a gorgeous view from every room. There is easy access to the shoreline, also. My children are in their 20's and they loved all of it. I hope to return.

Sunrise, sunset….swiftly flow the days…

Waking up to beautiful sunrises across Lake Superior, fires down by the lake, room to spread out, and solitude. Beautiful home that is well maintained and has everything you need.

Perfect getaway

I rented the cabin for my husband and his friends for his 50 birthday. It was perfect! The cabin itself is beautiful and well stocked with anything you might need. There was plenty of firewood for use. The location is perfect if you like being away from it all, but close enough to places to eat as well. If you are into mountain biking there is a nice trail across the main road by the house. It was well maintained and lots of fun. The beds were comfy, house was clean. The guys took two fishing excursions nearby and caught their dinner almost every night they was there. Dawn was absolutely amazing to work with. She is so sweet. If you are lucky enough to come across her listing just go ahead and rent this place. You won’t regret it!

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Felt

Jeff and I built our home in 2002. It is an engineered log home, with in-floor heating throughout. It has been our sanctuary, a place where we could totally relax and rejuvenate.
Jeff is a rheumatologist, I owned an oriental rug store, our twins, Daniel and Stephanie are now 28, off on their own adventures. We have so many wonderful memories of sharing our “cabin” with family and friends. It’s the first place our kids want to come back to, our Beaver Bay house and the North Shore.
We want to share it with other people so they can enjoy it as much as we have.

Why they chose this property

Our property is unique because we leave our grounds “natural”. We are “Boundary Waters” people, we prefer a natural landscape. We live in a very orderly, professionally landscaped neighborhood, which at times we find restrictive. We then spend time at our Beaver Bay cabin with all its unorganized flora and indigenous fauna.

Our landscape will not appeal to some people, which I completely understand. They prefer grass, and spirea, potentilla, hosta, etc. There are plenty of other places to rent with those amenities.

The first thing a few of my siblings want to do is “pull weeds”. I try to explain that the plants that want to get rid of are not weeds. They don’t understand. They need to put the landscape in “order”.

We have a driveway and area to park and a path down to the lake. We have 4.75 acres of woods, 269’ lake shore, it’s more secluded and gives you the feeling of a rustic environment, while being comfortable in an elegant house. Our kids had many wonderful adventures exploring the woods.

We do have a new neighbor on our left (as you face the lake). Very nice folks, but they are adamant that our vacation rental guests do not walk on their property.
