Unparalleled 180-degree Views of Lake Superior, 400 feet above the water!
A true North Shore getaway, Gull Rock Ridge sits 200 feet above Lake Superior's shore on 22 private acres. Expansive interior windows frame the vista, and spacious outdoor decks on both the main and upper level provide perfect lake viewing, wildlife watching, sunning, and star gazing.
Outdoor activities await with three of Minnesota’s “Top Five” State Parks located within 10 minutes of Gull Rock Ridge, including Split Rock Lighthouse, only one mile away.

Kitchen was well stocked and the cabin was clean. If you're looking for seclusion (and, we were) then this is the property you're looking for. View was exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We loved our vacation here. The cabin is beautiful and thoughtfully designed. It is very clean, well appointed, has a stunning view, and is very close to many North Shore attractions. Amazing place, highly recommend.
This place is gorgeous! Amazing views of the lake. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed. Bedrooms and bathrooms are beautiful. We loved the spacious deck.
This is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beautiful north shore! The sunrise views are spectacular and overall, you can expect a 5 star experience! The house is very clean, well maintained and well stocked. Nancy was very responsive and communicated everything needed to make our stay perfect! She also provided many excellent recommendations for restaurants, hiking and things to do! We hope to come back again!
As we walked into the cabin for the first time, all we could say was "Wow, this is awesome!" The view was spectacular throughout the cabin. The cabin was well stocked with just about anything you could possibly need. Just beautiful! The beds were very comfortable. The decks were set up so nicely for viewing the lake as well as star gazing.
We were very pleased with our accommodations! The views were spectacular, the house was so comfortable and clean, and the communication from the owners was wonderful. We'd definitely love to go back!
This home has stellar natural light, and stunning views of the lake. The rooms were all comfortable and clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy a long weekend! Easy access to nearby hiking was also a huge plus.
This house is wonderful! The views are stunning and the location is perfect for trips to fabulous state parks: Split Rock Lighthouse, Tettegouche, and Temperance River Gorge. The kitchen is huge and lovely, and everything was very clean. We appreciated the 11:00 am check-out. Nancy was the most helpful and communicative VRBO host we’ve ever had, and we’ve stayed in a lot of VRBO places over the years. Highly recommed!
Perfect location for a North shore vacation. Great outdoor opportunities. House had everything you needed, was very clean and had good beds. Had a great view of Lake Superior and was peaceful.
When the listing says "unparalleled views", they are not exaggerating! It was a stunning weekend on the North Shore! The place was incredibly clean, and the kitchen was awesome! Communication with the host was great - super detailed information, and always promptly responded to any questions we had! I would book this trip again in heartbeat!
The location is perfect, away from everything, but close enough at the same time. Fantastic views, very comfortable and clean cabin. Can we just trade our house in the cities for this one? :)
Thanks for the memorable stay, we will definitely be back!

Hi Kurt,
Thank you so much for the very generous and positive review you gave us. We so appreciate you taking time to write this and also for guests such as you!
I have just gotten off the phone with VRBO regarding the ratings and categories for you.
There are 4 categories: Overall, Cleanliness, House Rules, Communication. There are no other categories for me to fill out and the 4 listed were all 5 stars.
Please know we again appreciate people such as you and look forward to our paths crossing in the future!
If you have any other questions please never hesitate to ask.
Most sincerely,
Nancy and Jay
This was our second stay in this house. Everything was perfect again! Plenty of space and decks with great views of Lake Superior. Near state parks and hiking. I've recommended to several friends planning vacations to the North Shore. Great communication with the owners too.
We loved our stay here. This home is truly beautiful and the view is extraordinary. We had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We explored the wonderful North Shore during the day, and cooked our meals in the well appointed kitchen during the evening. Then, of course, you can enjoy the food while gazing out at Lake Superior. We had a marvelous time!
