About this property

Lakefront cozy cottage on beautiful Lake Superior. Close to hiking and skiing.

Enjoy Lake Superior beauty. Go for a dip in the lake, hike the trails nearby. Make a yummy meal on the new gas range. Have s’mores around the bonfire, play boardgames on a stormy day! Lake Superior has so much to offer. We would love for you to come and enjoy this little slice of heaven we call Anchor Down.

I booked this wonderful cottage for my adult daughter and her partner who came to Thunder Bay to visit. They raved about this cottage. It ticked all the boxes. Beautiful inside. Spectacular setting. When they weren't sitting by the lake, they made the brief trip to hike the Sleeping Giant and visit Silver Islet. I would highly recommend staying here. Wonderful experience all around!

We loved everything about our stay here! The host was super responsive at booking and before arrival. Everything inside was exactly as advertised. The view looking out into Lake Superior is truly priceless, we enjoyed it during meals from the kitchen table and from the love seat in between. The master bed was very comfortable and the upstairs bathroom had everything needed. We did not use the bunk beds or the downstairs bathroom. We did not turn on any TVs, the lake was too captivating. We grilled steaks outside, made the rest of our meals inside and had every pot/plate/utensil we could have thought to need in there. The pictures are super accurate to what we found on arrival, no surprises of any kind during our stay. I will absolutely plan to stay here again the next time I am in the area.
