McNeil's on the Brule

This is a one of a kind opportunity for those who love the outdoors and nature. Walk out the front door and enjoy the famous Brule River in your front yard. A five minute drive down the road brings you to the shores of beautiful Lake Superior and the mouth of the Brule River.

This historic piece of property was homesteaded in 1893 with the current house being built in 1947. This well kept, clean four bedroom home offers three bedrooms upstairs and one on the main floor. The main floor has a quarter size bath with a full bath upstairs.

The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, bake ware, tableware, utensils and offers a stove, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and toaster. There is a gas grill available for your use.

Cable television and internet services are provided. Local phone service is available for emergencies and is capable of accepting all incoming calls. Outgoing calls can only be local unless you have a pre-paid phone card.

No linens are provided. While all of the beds have a mattress protector and a clean fitted sheet, renters will need to bring their own pillows, sleeping bags, blankets, etc. Towels, washcloths, dishcloths, also, are not provided. Throughout the home are beautiful terrazzo floors... bringing slippers is always a good idea.

You will love the peace and quiet this property has to offer. The soothing sounds of the river will relax you as you sit on the covered front porch and take in the beauty of this secluded setting.

Family Trout Trip
This was our 6th Year for our annual trout trip at McNeils. Couldnt ask for a more relaxing place then here. If you are looking for a great getaway with family or friends to enjoy time together right on the Brule with a home that has spacious room for everyone, this is it. Looking forward to our 7th time in 2024.

We always enjoy our stay at the house! We’ve been with the family several times and each time we don’t want to leave. Very relaxing for everyone and lots of fishing available. Can’t wait to go back!

6 brother and brother in laws fishing trip
Six brothers and brothers-in-law stayed at the house. The proximity to the water and the secludedness were fantastic. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked. Wifi was strong. The proprietors were very prompt with feedback and accommodating, including a last minute early access request. We loved the house. There was no washer or dryer in the house but if you look at the listing and amenities that's obvious. But I missed it. If there is a knock, it's that the water which has a high iron content as well as a sulfur smell. If you bring lots of water everything will be fine. We would gladly stay here in the future.

An honest assessment both pro and con lo
This is a very well-maintained house and exceptionally clean with newer windows ( which ended up being extremely important). The setting is gorgeous and the porch is a winner. The hosts were extremely responsive in spite of having to change dates. My problems are my problems. I have asthma and anyone staying here should be aware that this is a musty old house. There is no door to the basement and I suspect the odor originates there. It probably didn’t help that the area had experienced record highs just before our arrival. That, coupled with a closed up house with no air circulation, made it a no-go for me. We left after one night. Opening all the windows did not help. Just a reality check here but also the well water smells strongly of rotten eggs. The windows alone must have cost the owners a ton so I was surprised they don’t treat the water. Sone of the furniture is very worn, living room newer and comfy. The kitchen is modestly equipped ( another quibble: for the price per a night I would think the hosts could sanitize the dishes rather than make their next guests do so). I wish past guests had given more considered reviews. Had I read any of these issues I would have found a property more suitable for me. Again, the structure is really sound. No creaking floors or inoperable windows. No mold or water marks. Very clean. The hosts were very nice. And perfectly situated for fishing the Brule

Brule River Farmhouse
Beautiful place, perfectly maintained. A truely unique family property on the Brule River. Great place to cook meals and hang out in the evening. We also fly fished out of Stones Bridge and other upstream locals. Good fly fishing in the upper river.
