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.

The Lake Superior Barn was a wondeful location for our group of 3 families to convene for a long weekend. We never would have needed to leave the property with the sauna, hot tub, beach, fire pits and areas to explore but it is also in a great location for day trips to Duluth and Bayfield

This property is absolutely amazing! We stayed for four nights which was not nearly long enough! After arriving we never left and enjoyed every minute, never getting bored! The location is fantastic! We did not use the sauna, but the hot tub was a big hit! Enjoyed the best fire pit we have ever had every night too! The indoor fireplace is beautiful and our kids enjoyed the game room and cornhole. We have stayed at many properties but this is one of the best! The owners were great as were the caretakers. We sure hope to return soon!

Beautiful place for family vacation.

The location was beautiful offering magnificent views and relaxation. We really enjoyed the hot tub and shoreline. The structure of the Barn itself was spectacular ! We were looking forward to walking on the trails that were around the property especially the ones leading to creeks or shoreline. So it was disappointing that many trails were so overgrown. The magnetic screen door was in very poor shape which contributed to many flies coming inside the Barn. Kris was very helpful and readily answered any needs or questions we had. Overall we had a great time there and would certainly recommend this place to others.

Had a great time

Went here for a low key bachelor party and got exactly what we wanted out of the place, really secluded property, amazing cabin and had everything we needed. Couldn’t ask for a better spot for a low key weekend. Even had a few of our parents ask for the link because they wanted to bring their friends up there after we showed them all the pictures we took from our weekend.

Winter Wonderland

This property was everything that we were looking for and more! The views were absolutely beautiful. We had a very intimate wedding ceremony for our son and new daughter. We were exactly at 20 and this charming barn house was perfect! Plenty of room for everyone. The home has everything you need and the game room was a hit along with the sauna and hot tub. Communication was excellent with the owner and caretaker. We plan to stay here again :)

Room for all of us! Beautiful property!

Our family of 18 enjoyed the property and the cool barn. Campfires and hot tubbing, swimming and searching for glass on the beach. Our 9 grandkids loved every part of the vacation. There was plenty of room for all of us and we especially enjoyed the large deck. We could have used air conditioning on some days. The fly population was our biggest negative. The cabin was well stocked! If you are looking for a quiet rustic experience, this was a great place! We would recommend.

Beautiful Lake Superior Barn

The barn is gorgeous and the property is just as beautiful. My family of 4 stayed first week in October so we enjoyed a lot of outside and lake time. The beds were plenty comfy...we only used 2 bedrooms on the main living area. This is a great place to stay and really enjoy quality family time. The lake was gorgeous and like glass when we visited...some really beautiful sunsets!! The sauna and hot tub were fun too. Caretakers checked in with us next day as we arrived late in the evening. No complaints. Only suggestion is the kitchen is starting to show its age esp the appliances. Thank you for a great time at the barn!

Summer Family Vacation

We had a fabulous time at the barn. Our adult children and our 80 year old parents all gathered together for a week to remember. Between the yard games, board games and just good old fashioned outdoor fun, there was never a lack of something to do. The lack of WiFi and no need to have phones was scary at first for some, but everyone agreed at the end was a true gift! The kitchen was well equipped and the outdoor grill and blackstone were used daily. Kris and her husband took wonderful care of us all. If you come with older individuals there are some tricky stairs but we were able to keep everyone safe with an extra hand here and there. The hot tub takes a bit to heat up but my son in laws enjoyed firing it up each day. We would definitely visit again!

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

I reserved this space for a small group retreat for therapists.Overall, the space itself is GORGEOUS, with amazing views of Lake Superior, a lovely private beach, walking paths and trails, and our favorite - the woodfired sauna! The home itself is very well stocked and so well taken care of, and we enjoyed the decor and the warm environment. We had space to do yoga in the mornings downstairs, and spread out for group activities when needed. The kitchen was really well stocked and well laid out, and the whole vibe overall is lovely! The most challenging thing about our stay with the caretaker Kris, who left a very bad taste in our mouth and impacted our entire experience of this property. The owner casually mentioned we should contact her to arrange an arrival time, however I missed this detail in the rush of the few days before the retreat and he never provider her phone number. I had already requested an early arrival and late departure, and confirmed this with the owner, so they knew our arrival time and we let ourselves in when we arrived. Instead of texting to check in with us (she had our contact info but we didn't have hers), Kris rudely interrupted our first group activity on the first night and brought a cloud of bad energy into what was meant to be a warm, inviting experience. I understood why she was upset, because they have had guests completely wreck their sauna, but her response seemed out of proportion and she was rude and nasty the first and last day too.

We had an unforgettable stay at the Lake Superior Barn. It is a truly special place to gather with friends, serene and remote with sweeping views of the south shore of Lake Superior. While a few of us took short outings nearby, most of our time was spent enjoying the private beach, wooded trails, and the comfort of the Barn itself.The wood fired hot tub quickly became a favorite ritual, and one evening we fired up the sauna for an added treat. The wraparound deck set the stage for a big jam session, while the yard was perfect for games and bonfires that stretched into the night. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped for large groups, and we loved preparing meals to share with our friends and loved ones.Our two dogs had the time of their lives exploring the grounds, and wildlife sightings throughout the stay kept everyone delighted and surprised. We were especially lucky with our timing, witnessing the full Sturgeon Moon and four nights of meteor showers that lit up the sky above Lake Superior. From quiet mornings to lively evenings, the Barn provided everything we hoped for and more.This was one of the best group vacations we have ever taken. Watching everyone’s joy as they settled into the home and the surrounding beauty was unforgettable. We left completely enamored and look forward to returning.

Enjoy "the Barn..." we always do! Relax, get off the grid...
Thanks, Tom & Nicole and Kids

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.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
