200’ of your own private accessible Lake Superior Shore: Stony Shores Retreat


Looking for privacy? Welcome to Stony Shores Retreat!

Walk down to Lake Superior’s shores on the wide mowed path from the lakeside of the house to the secluded shoreline area. A small lane along the edge of the property allows you to drive down if you prefer. You can even take your canoe/kayak down and launch right from the shore. A large mowed open lawn close to the lakeshore says “come play”; you have the whole 200’ of Lake Superior frontage for your private enjoyment! Adjoining properties are privately owned and the lakeshore is not public property, so please do not trespass on neighbors’ lakeshore. There is a fire-pit and chairs down by The Lake for those evening campfires. NOTE: Because of the uneven surface of stones frequently tossed up by the Lake storms, use the lakeshore “beach” and fire-pit at your own risk. As always, use caution when walking on loose and uneven stone surfaces if venturing off the mowed lawn area.

Build a campfire, have a picnic, pitch a tent, bring and set up your favorite lawn games, hunt for agates, gaze at a trillion stars (who will spot the first shooting star?), catch the meteor showers, watch the full moon rise over the Lake...or just sit contentedly and contemplate the wonders of nature. Life is good. Brilliant sunrises, gentle waves, wildlife visitors, screeching eagles perched high in the shoreline trees, a variety of birds and even calling/dancing loons and white pelicans are all frequent sights. Living On The Big Lake offers something different every day.

And if you can drag yourself away from the close-up lure of Mother Superior there is a house too! A newly remodeled rustic coastal retreat with large floor to ceiling patio doors across the back looking out at Lake Superior. (Please be cautious as these patio doors do open but there is no step or deck adjoining the home at these doors). The home has all hardwood floors, wood burning fireplace, fully equipped open kitchen with island, TWO remodeled bathrooms, three bedrooms, deck and patio.

With this kind of unrivaled access to the Lake Superior shore, you may want to spend the entire stay reconnecting with loved ones and nature. But if you do wish to explore the area further, you are close to so much the North Shore has to offer.

Stunning private lot on Lake Superior

Large private property with a huge backyard for the kids to play and a very private shoreline. The house is cozy and had everything we needed for our stay, including extra blankets for the chilly nights. Beautiful views of the lake. Perfect spot for my parents, sister and our kids to spends quality family together on the north shore.

First impressions are based upon the website, which described location to Lake Superior, square footage & layout, previous reviews.We discovered positive surprises as to the walk to the lake shore, wonderfully laid out dwelling spaces, artfully presented. To write that BJ was prompt, understanding, and helpful is inadequate. Perhaps extraordinary and warm approaches our experience. I have certain above the bar expectations & she was clearly way above.We visited & hiked Tettagouche and Split Rock State Parks, golfed at Superior National, ate at Bluefin Bay We truly had a marvelous time.

Amazing Windows onto Lake Superior

We had wonderful sunny days which we enjoyed hiking but also relaxing back at the house with its gorgeous views of the lake -- from every single room on the lakeside of the house. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked.

Incredible location and views

We had a wonderful stay for our first time on the north shore. Everything we wanted to do was an easy drive up or down 61. The property is incredible! Couldn’t ask for a better location. The sunrises over the lake were unbelievable. We had plenty of space for our four kids and us.

Can't Beat The Location

The highlight of this property is the location. It's close to so many great places to explore and the lot is beautiful. The view and access to the lake is unbeatable and the grounds are fantastic and well-maintained. We had some housekeeping concerns when we arrived; the property manager responded quickly and was very friendly but would obviously prefer not to start a vacation with any issues.

This was our second stay at Stony Shores Retreat. We had a wonderful time and everything was smooth without any problems. We find the location ideal for our forays into the State parks and up to Grand Marais (great for a rainy day excursion). The house was equipped with everything we needed for a lovely stay. Will book again if available on our schedule.

Long weekend with adult kids

The property was perfect for us. The location was even better than what we thought, the view of the lake was amazing. It was the best stocked VRBO of any we have ever stayed at. Plenty of towels and blankets and the kitchen had everything I would have at home. All three bedrooms were good size and the beds were very comfortable. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet peaceful getaway with family.

Breath taking view from the house.

The family that was with me were impressed with the location of the house and the ample view. We thought it was a little too cool at night in the house(had a little trouble figuring out how to work the furnace. It's location worked well for us on our golf trip with several decent courses we were able to play.

New Year at the North Shore

Our family of 5 spent 4 nights at Stoney Shores. We enjoyed the open concept kitchen, dining and living room, where we spent all of our time together either making food, watching movies, cuddling by the fire or working on hobbies on the large butcher block counter. We ventured down to the water and outside at night to watch for shooting stars. All communications were quickly replied to and always helpful. The location was nice to be near many state parks as well. We hope to be back some day!

Grandparent Getaway

This property is a well maintained home on the shore of Lake Superior. We enjoyed quiet surroundings, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, the lapping of water on the beach and a fire near the shore. This property is centrally located between Grand Marais and Duluth. Our stay was relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend this property!
