About this property
Timber Frame House overlooking Lake Superior, 20 miles from downtown Duluth
Beautiful timber-framed house with over 3900+ square feet, plus another 1100+ square feet in the guest house. Includes both buildings and 550 feet of private lake shore. It is located at the end of a 3 mile long gravel road. Quiet. Secluded. Private. Come enjoy a beautiful escape on the south shore of Lake Superior. NOW with high speed wifi! Literally 100 times faster than our old DSL (starlink- 253 mbps on July 3, 2024)!
This home was built entirely from locally harvested white pine in 2002. Approximately 100 feet to Lake Superior's sandy shoreline. 10 Queen beds with three custom made bunk beds will be enough to fit your whole family and then some.
Sauna, swimming, camp fires, and star gazing... all to your hearts’ content at this secluded retreat.

About the host
Hosted by Kris Hoffman

Beth, Jake, and Kris Hoffman have dreamed about owning a small slice of the north shore life. 15 acres with a timber frame house on the shores of lake superior was too good to pass up. We would love to share our special place with you and your family.
Why they chose this property
If you're looking for a house with a ton of character you've found a great place to stay. It was hand built in 2002, finished with mortice and tenon joints.
Accents like the spiral staircase and upstairs railing were salvaged from the original Superior, Wi train station. All white pine logs are from within 20 miles of the house. The main fireplace is made of locally gathered rock, as well. Tons of character abounds from every room, and built by master craftsmen. Please come and enjoy our majestic cabin on the shores of Lake Superior.

What makes this property unique
Deer, eagles, and all types of wildlife abound and can be seen walking through the front and backyard several times a day. Feel the stress melt away as you watch the flickering flame in the main room's hearth. Come and swim in one of the most beautiful lakes and rural areas in the United States. With multiple National Parks and State parks within an hour drive. 30 minutes from downtown Duluth. You can have a little bit of everything.
And did I mention the world class Steelhead fishing in the Brule River just ten miles down the road? Or the yearly salmon runs up the Amnicon, a short half mile from the front door of this house? Resident Walleye are found every spring, as well.
Whether wildlife, relaxation, or outdoors activities are your passion... There's definitely something for everyone.
