Silver Bay House | North Shore Headlands House - retreat house on Lake Superior

5 Bedroom House in Silver Bay

More flexible cancellation policy for 2021 stays due to COVID -19 uncertainties. Our laundering of all bedding between guests, state of the art ventilation system, high speed internet and cable TV, keyless contact-free check-in, and ensuite bathrooms for each bedroom contribute to our house's appeal during COVID-19 and at all times. We are a fully licensed and inspected free-standing and private home just a 3.5 hour drive from the Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport. Best of all is our location on Lake Superior with views of its most dramatic section of rugged coastline from throughout the house.
With our Scandinavian and Japanese heritage showing through the warm wood tones, the house was designed for our own family retreats and is fully licensed for short-term rental. Each of our 5 bedrooms has its own attached bathroom, with a separate powder room off the great room.
The upper floor of the house is level with the parking area and includes two bedrooms (one with a queen-size bed, the other with two twin beds) and the great room including the kitchen, dining and living areas, and covered deck. Couples and other small groups spend their entire time on this self-contained floor which also easily accommodates guests with mobility limitations. The lower floor has three bedrooms with queen-size beds, along with a laundry area the guests can use. One of these bedrooms can be configured for meetings/projects instead of sleeping, and it also includes memory foam single sofa bed in addition to a very comfortable techline queen-size Murphy bed. Both upper and lower floors open directly to the outside without any stairs and each bedroom has a view including the lake.
Each bedroom has its own bathroom, three of which contain soaking tub/showers and two of which have dedicated showers. Two of the soaking tubs have picture windows for very scenic relaxation.
The house was custom designed for its unique location on a wooded point to afford generous white water views of this most dramatic stretch of rugged Lake Superior shoreline. An expanse of south facing windows generously lets in the winter sun. The bay, islets and headlands we see from our windows looking toward Shovel Point of Tettegouche State are spectacular in all weathers and seasons.
Certified for energy efficient construction, the house has in-floor radiant heat, heat pump air conditioning in upper bedrooms, a fresh air exchange system, and naturally soft water from a a 330' deep well. We have a gas fireplace inside, and enjoy wood fires in the lakeside fire pit.
Our fiber optic cable service provides network stations from Duluth and over 60 cable channels with excellent bandwidth for all streaming services. The kitchen is very well equipped for serious cooking and service for ten, who can all fit around our extending dining room table. We provide all bedding and bath linens, freshly laundered (including blankets) and in place when you arrive. So you can unpack and feel fully at home, each bedroom has a generous closet and dresser drawers, and there are cabinets in the kitchen for your groceries, and a locker to store your coolers, packs, and luggage.
During the day, your eyes will probably be focused on the coastal views out the window, but note that we do provide information about the generous collection of regional and other artwork throughout the house. '
In addition to the fire pit outside, we have a yoga deck tucked in the woods on a trail running to the south of the house along the lake. Several outdoor benches provide places for scenic contemplation.

Summary: My kids and their partners and I stayed over a long weekend in March to celebrate a birthday with a beautiful ski at Bearskin Lodge—the last great ski of the season. Good fortune, good times. A very happy birthday.

Summary: This home is on prime real estate, with Lake Superior right on the property. My friends and I enjoyed 3 nights at the beautiful house. Everything is so organized and everything you need is available. We hope to make it back many times in the years ahead.

Summary: This is our second time staying in this beautiful house; we are so glad that we returned. Truly, this is a phenomenal place with one of the best views on Lake Superior. Everything is in its place in this home, which has an exceptionally well-equipped kitchen and excellent WiFi. Everything works well—you don’t realize how important good window screens are until you have one with a gap and there is not a single gap in any one of the many in this house. Go there, and feel secure and pampered. Just don’t reserve the days we want to return. ;-) Notes: This property is on a cliff—I would not bring young kids there. It also has no direct access to Lake Superior (some people like to dip their toes or launch a kayak…not possible on this property), nor anywhere to walk or run for longer than a half mile directly accessible from the house. But there are plenty of paths and state parks right down the road, and it’s great to be close to a grocery store in Silver Bay.

Summary: This beautiful home was a great place for our family group of eight, including one with mobility challenges, to enjoy a week of wonderful, cool weather. The host, Jim, was extremely helpful, both before and during our stay. The house is comfortably furnished and we enjoyed all the original artwork. We particularly appreciated the privacy provided by bathrooms in each of the five bedrooms. And capping the experience were the great views of the rocky shore of Lake Superior!

Summary: This is a five-star property and Jim the owner is a five-star host. He is prompt in getting questions answered and in making sure you have what you need to have a wonderful stay. It’s in a great location next to some of the best trails and waterfalls. The attention to detail is second to none in this excellent vacation home. From the very well-stocked kitchen to the sewing kit and box of personal items that may have forgotten like toothbrushes, shaving cream, etc. This five-bedroom layout, (each with its own bathroom) has been thoughtfully designed to provide maximum comfort, function and amazing views of the Lake Superior. We’ve stayed at many places along the North Shore, but this tops them all. When you stay at the Headlands, you will not be disappointed.
