About this property

The Perfect Location for your North Shore Experience

On the Waters Inn, just steps from the “Big Lake” is the perfect location for those who seek to immerse themselves in the Northland experience. Two very popular state parks are located on either side of the Inn; Gooseberry Falls (1.4 miles) to the south and Split Rock (4.7 miles) to the north. These two parks are connected by the Gitchi-Gami State Trail, a paved walking, hiking, biking path that can be accessed by simply walking up our driveway. This trail also connects you with the Superior Hiking Trail, Iona’s Nature Area (.5 miles), a beautiful pink rhyolite beach, and Twin Points Water Access (.25 miles) where sea kayakers can access the Lake Superior State Water Trail.
After enjoying the beauty of the Northland, take rest in our 3,500 square foot executive home. The home includes 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Each room was designed to reveal a picture postcard of Lake Superior, especially the Great Room with its 14 foot high windows and 180 degree view. The master bedroom includes a king-sized bed, an en suite bathroom and spa tub. The upstairs flat also includes a king, futon, and couch with an en suite bathroom. The main floor includes two other queen bedrooms and a private bathroom. To further the Northland experience, we have handpicked all of the prints and pictures found in the inn revealing the iconic places of the North Shore.
The modern open concept kitchen boasts all stainless steel appliances and wine fridge. The 4x7 foot granite topped island will provide the room you need to create your own one of a kind meal. Cabinets and drawers are well stocked with utensils, glass and stemware, plates, baking and serving dishes. The Inn also has Blue-tooth and WiFi accessibility. We also provide eco-friendly soaps, linens, Keurig coffee machine, and a hair dryer in every bathroom.
As the day closes, enjoy some late night conversation on the 3 season porch as you listen to the wash of the waves and watch the lights of the iron boats as they glide by. You can also relax on the 400 sq. foot attached deck that overlooks the lake, or relax and play some yard games in our new 2500 sq. foot green space, complete with pergola.

Beautiful location and all of the rooms in the house had a water view. Well equipped kitchen with Henkles knives (am a cook and usually struggle with dull cheap knives at rentals - not here!). Great place for a birthday trip with my 90 year old father who just wanted to relax and eat a lot of delicious food.

We enjoyed a quick three night stay here. The private access to the lakefront was wonderful, and the view from the deck and inside the house was great. The kitchen and the rest of the house served all our needs well for a relaxing and accommodating stay on the North Shore.

After reading outstanding reviews of this property, we booked for four days. It exceeded our expectations. The space is welcoming and spacious and extends to outdoor spaces-the screened porch, double level deck, fire pit, and access to the lake to dip our toes in the water. We appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, the cleanliness of the property, the comfortable beds, and the number of bathrooms. We would highly recommend staying here and would love to return. Thank you, Joe and Tom!
