Yes, the kitchen space was wonderful! We really loved the ease of using the available space. Our dog, Marci also loved the space, and I think she felt quite at home.

I'm glad Marci enjoyed it Helen, many of our pups enjoy the cabin!
Wonderful views of lake. Cabin had everything you needed. Well stocked, lots of towels and plillows. Beds were very comfortable. We had a nice campfire the last night we were there. Made some wonderful memories. Will definately come back
This is the perfect private getaway for a Family Vacation right on Lake Superior. Excellent view of the Lake. The house had every amenity you could need. Great space, plenty of room. Hosts are amazing!
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful spot on Lake Superior! The setting was peaceful and the views were amazing. Our friends from out of state had a blast. The amenities were great and plenty of space. Unfortunately, there was a small hiccup with the water during our stay, but Luke, the owner, handled it with professionalism, kindness, and generosity. He went above and beyond to make things right, which we truly appreciated. We’d happily return!

We hope you come back now that the well switched was replaced. Your group is welcomed back anytime!!!
Everything about this house was great, plenty of room for my family of 9, location to local towns and the Apostle Islands, communication with property owner, and beautiful views of the lake! I really appreciate all of the extra towels and bedding because other VRBO’s are sometimes not so generous. We also loved the abundance of seating in the great room, we’ve been to several homes that only seat a few when the home sleeps 10-15, so that was fantastic. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

We're so happy the home worked well for your family and that you felt comfortable and well-equipped during your stay. Great to hear the location and lake views were a hit too—come back anytime!
Our family of 8 adults and 4 children under 6 were extremely comfortable at this property. The kitchen/dining/gathering room was more than ample. The dining area seated the entire family. The HUGE couch seated the crew as well. The kitchen is wonderful and multiple refrigerators really help. The yard is well kept and very inviting. We had a great week!

This was the perfect site for a large family get together. It is clean and has lots of space for a large family or group and has beautiful views of Lake Superior.

So glad the home worked well for your family gathering! It’s great to hear you enjoyed the space and those beautiful Lake Superior views. Hope it made for some special memories!
Great location to explore northern Wisconsin, Lake Superior south shore, and Apostle Islands. Something for everyone in our group - hiking, kayaking, beach time, exploring.

Thanks for staying with us Jeff, we would love to host you again in the future!
Our group of 11 all enjoyed the Superior views, plenty of beds, and the unique design of the home. The kitchen lacked nothing and the native wildlife was on display. Excellent property, highly recommend.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, October is a great time to visit the big lake!
We (3 generations and dogs) had a lovely stay here- the area is so pretty and quiet, and property location is great, and the house is wonderful! Lots and lots of space and amazing kitchen and living area.
Highly recommend!

Thank you for staying with us Emily, I'm glad our house was able to fit your family's needs!
The owner had excellent communication and was very helpful. Property was remote and so quiet, which is just what we were looking for in the dead of winter!
We are 9 seniors that do a Fall Golf trip every year. Played at Forest Ridges near Cable, then Apostle Highlands and on the last day we played Chequamegon in Ashland

I'm glad you guys had decent weather for your golf trip!
The prosperity is very spacious and has separate spaces for multiple families, beautiful views of the lake and an awesome well stocked kitchen!
We enjoyed grilling and a bon fire overlooking the lake. We loved the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks, and are looking forward to be back next year!

Out of the way location- on Lake Superior. The layout of the place is unusual, but everyone had a place to sleep. Kitchen had pretty much everything we needed to cook our meals. If you're lucky enough to have clear skies you will see a awesome sunrise.

Our sunrise is one of the best on the South Shore!
About the host
Hosted by Luke and Miranda
I am a physical therapist and my wife is a registered nurse; we live in western Wisconsin with our son Niko, daughters Georgi and Leni, and Golden Retriever Lambeau. We enjoy all things outdoors, and that includes travel!
Why they chose this property
We wanted a property that could host larger groups as we come from big families and have struggled in the past to find something that could accommodate us all. Combine that with the large, breathtaking views of the lake and we knew we had to have it.
What makes this property unique
It is one of the few houses along the south shore that enjoys a sunrise view, and it is also protected from the large northern winds that have a tendency to destroy shoreline for people on the west side of Bark's Point. It is also one of the largest cabin rentals you will find while still allowing everyone to sleep under the same roof. The unique 2nd story screened in porch with the panoramic views are our favorite part of the home.
