About this property

Lake Superior Barn now has Star Link Wi-Fi!

The Lake Superior Barn is a 4,250 sq. foot home with 4 bathrooms and accommodations to easily sleep 20 people in the 6 bedrooms and 15 beds…. lakesuperiorbarn.com. (see more here.)
It is designed to accommodate multiple families with open bathrooms and individual toilets and showers. The home is just 30 minutes east of Duluth on the sandy south shore of Lake Superior.

Lake Superior Barn rests on 320 acres of remote wilderness and a sandy beach. The home sits on the south shore of Lake Superior, staring across the lake to the North Shore cities of Duluth and Two Harbors whose lights twinkle in the distance at night. The property is completely surrounded by the Brule River State Forest so there is not another home on the Lake Superior shoreline for miles… Enjoy the secluded sandy beach or walk it like an ocean looking for beach-glass. Listen to the waves crash or swim in the cleanest of all the Great Lakes where the temperature can reach 60 or 70 degrees in the shallow, sandy bottom water. Warm up to a driftwood fire or roast s'mores on the waterfront.

Once back to the house, wash the sand off your feet in the outside shower while taking in the 180 degree view of Lake Superior. Enjoy the 1600 sq foot reclaimed deck just outside the beautiful kitchen and a pantry with all the extra ingredients and spices you may have forgotten. Build a fire with firewood provided in the stone fireplace or have a fire on the bluff watching the sun set or lay in a bean bag and pick a book to read from the stocked bookshelves in the loft. Lake Superior Barn has 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 3 showers built from the reclaimed lumber, steel and iron nails of 7 turn of the century Minnesota barns. The game room has radiant concrete heat to warm your toes as you play ping pong, shuffle board or lounge on the couch to watch a movie or TV.... Star Link Wi-Fi is provided.
The Lake Superior Barn is a unique and rustic experience... yet there is a Roku TV and Wi-Fi to stream movies or sports, and also plenty of cards, books and boardgames!

The Lake Superior Barn sits on 320 private acres of forest, wander deer trails or swim in Haukkula Creek that flows the length of the property. Pick raspberries and wild strawberries in the summer or snowshoe the woods and trails in the winter… either way, you will never encounter another person on the private and secluded land. End the day by building a fire while overlooking Lake Superior and watch the summer sun set over the hills of Duluth.

Close to areas like the Duluth, the Apostle Islands, Bayfield and the scenic South Shore of Lake Superior... or canoe the Brule River... the Lake Superior Barn is a remote getaway from a hectic life.

Amazing Property!

We had a fabulous time at the barn! Such a beautiful setting for any occasion. Endless activities and exploring to do with a beautiful hot tub and sauna to unwind in. Possibly the best VRBO we have stayed in.

Sanctuary

This was the most perfect space for our healing retreat! Once we got the hang of the wood fired hot tub it was extremely enjoyable! The sauna too. The views and trails are spectacular with access to the beautiful beach. Bring hiking boots as it can get a little muddy if it rains. The kitchen was amazing with so many amenities. We lacked nothing! We will be coming back!!!

Simply Magical

We've stayed at this property many times and it never disappoints! Enough space for our group of 16 to sleep and open gathering areas. The view of the lake is beautiful and the trail down to the lake is our favorite hike. The highlight is the hot tub & sauna!

our group of 8 friends stayed for a long weekend. plenty of space to cook, play games, and relax. we thoroughly enjoyed walking the property &shoreline. northern lights were a nice bonus! fired up the sauna& fireplace, appreciated the well stocked wood shed. would note for the less sure footed folks that the trail to the lake is a downhill path through brush then a 15 step wooden staircase.

Beautiful barn & view!

The place was spectacular! You honestly can't beat the view, the barn interior & remoteness. A few things I would mention though, so many flies. Not sure it's their fault, as doors open and flies are bound to come in (that's why I gave 4 stars, some where already in windows when we got there, which i guess is hard to avoid with country living). Hot tub - cover was off or maybe they don't cover it at all. If no top, I guess that would be my recommendation to get one. We decided to not use it for that reason. The sink upstairs in the loft area was hard to work (not practical), and most of the time kids will inhabit that area. I completely understand the design element, as its rustic. Just some feedback. Overall, great place. Everyone enjoyed their time. Manager came out to show us things, which was really nice of her to do. The owners are also very responsive. I would go again! Just more as an FYI. possible. Ovcleacovered

Great, remote week long stay

It was really nice to unplug for a week at the cabin. The property is really cool, the owner/manager are very communicative. Access to the lake is easy and the yard was great for the kids to play in. This is a CABIN, in the middle of 300 acres of forest/farm land, so expect some bugs and mice, but the place was clean and they had mouse traps (meaning the owners are doing what they can). Very laid back atmosphere with owner/manager, answered all our questions quickly. Thanks for a great week!

Cousins on the Loose

We were a group of 1O flying in to the area from the East Coast with 2 driving in from Salt Lake City, all cousins from ages 15-65. We coined ourselves “Cousins on the Loose.” The Barn was perfect for our group. We could seek out privacy or choose to be together. The decor and aesthetic was so welcoming. The yard and landscape was great for group wiffle ball baseball games, cornhole, sitting by the fire with the brilliant sunset in the background, and the access to Lake Superior made for many fun days on our paddle boards, canoe, and floaties. The caretaker was extremely responsive to any questions we had or guidance needed. The owners were just as responsive leading up to and after our stay. We hope to enjoy the barn again in the near future!

Wonderful getaway on Lake Superior

We had a fantastic stay at the Lake Superior Barn House! We traveld with friends, plenty of space, loved the sauna, used the fire pit every night. Took a day trip into Duluth one day, out to Bayfield and Madeline Island another. Highly recommend for a quiet, relaxing getaway!

Beautiful, remote family vacation destination

Our group of 14 had an awesome time at the barn. The weather was beautiful and the lake was full of adventures. We brought our own kayak and paddle board, which were fun additions. No A/C was not a problem, even when daytime temps got into the mid-80s -- the evening breeze was beautiful.

Superior Barn House

Overall the stay was enjoyable with plenty of room for the kids and grandkids. View of the lake was great - watched a few "BIG" ships come in. Lots of room in the yard for the games we brought: Bags, Ladder Ball, Croquet, even had a small baseball game. All in all it was a good stay. Probably one of the biggest disappointments was the inability to use the beach as the path through the brush was unusable. It was overgrown, not trimmed and dangerous for a few us to try and navigate the steepness of the dirt trail. We had to find an alternate location about 15 minutes away to utilize a public access to a beach. (not what we had planned on) - Not a show stopper, but having a walk-to (private) access to Lake Superior from the house was one of the amenities and highlights we were really looking forward to. A few other details, would include the fact the sewage holding tank had not been pumped prior to us getting there, even though we were told it had been. Upon a visual check it was apparent it was not. There was listed in the amenities of a chest freezer - there was not a chest freezer, but we made due. There was a Blackstone flat top provided which was not listed... nice to have. Would have been nice to know (I would not have brought mine) - minor things like weed control, yard trimming, burned-out outside lights should be addressed. I feel the owner just need to update the listing, the amenities for sure! Once again, overall, it was a nice place to have all the family together!

Annual Family Vacation

Our family of 19, ages 10 to 81, stayed at the Lake Superior Barn for our annual vacation to Lake Superior. The barn was perfect for gathering together for games, meals, and conversation. The kitchen was well stocked with all the cookware and utensils needed to prepare meals. There was a variety of games and puzzles to keep us entertained on some rainy days. The view of the lake and the sound of the waves was relaxing. We were able to see some wildlife like a porcupine, a doe and her fawn, and a black bear down by the creek. The beach access was different than the pictures showed and was less accessible than we expected. Overall, this was a great vacation spot for our family.

Great place for large group to gather.

Loved the property, rooms and gathering spaces. We have stayed twice and the sauna and hot tub were not satisfactory. The hot tub is not chlorinated and the water smells. The sauna stack was not sealed properly and had smoke inside. Contacted manager and he came out and thought he fixed it but did not. After conversation with owners, they did give a small compensation.

They and the property caretaker were responsive and very easy to communicate with. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. The barn was perfect for our needs and our stay was enjoyable.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the Lake, the sound of the waves, the endless sandy beach and the fact that you are 30 minutes from an amazing city like Duluth, but you feel so remote and surrounded by nature.

What makes this property unique

The property is totally remote and surrounded by State forest... you will very likely not see another person. The reclaimed home is unique and the feel is rustic. The beach is secluded and it feels like you are on an ocean.
