THE COTTAGE:
Hello Thunder Bay! Why not escape to this magical place, which will make you feel so, so FAR AWAY from it ALL😌
You found it! "The Jewel of the North". Professionally updated 2021. This enchanting ALL-SEASONS cottage is only 25 minutes South of Thunder Bay and 1 hour North of Grand Marais, Minnesota. It is a close "escape" for those living in or near Thunder Bay and beckons to Americans who have ventured only as far as Grand Marais. The Cottage is a peaceful place for all in need of quiet reflection surrounded by nature's amazing canvas.
This is Lake Superior SHORELINE property, which means -- not only are there fantastic VIEWS of Lake Superior -- it is LITERALLY in your front yard. Know the difference because nothing, nothing compares to being "on" the lake. No road intersects The Cottage from Lake Superior so you get The Greatest Lake just steps away. The Cottage is situated on 2 acres of land and is very private without feeling completely isolated. Guests love opening a window to listen to Lake Superior's powerful waves crashing along the shoreline or being lulled to sleep while its laughing waters lap water's edge. If you have not heard this magical sound, there absolutely has never been a better time to experience it.
The Cottage sparkles with charm & elegance right "on" Lake Superior! The Cottage is "superiorly" clean hosting quality linens, towels and a fully equipped kitchen. Dish soap, paper towels, napkins, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner & body wash are provided. Satellite television & high speed wireless means unlimited Internet, many TV channels (including US), FREE Amazon & Netflix movies and excellent mobile service. This insures while guests are truly "away" — they are also well "in touch" with the rest of the world.
A spectacular and scenic road trip meandering along Lake Superior's famous North Shore Highway 61 from Duluth, Minnesota is acclaimed "one of the most scenic routes" in the United States and consistently rates in the top 10 world-wide. BUT! The scenic drive does NOT end in Grand Marais. Continue North one hour passing through the US/Canadian boarder and embrace the mountainous, rugged topography with AMAZING views of Lake Superior dotted with its islands and inlets -- not seen on the USA side. Experience this amazing, beautiful bi-lingual country just across the Minnesota boarder.
Bienvenue! Welcome!
Working from home these days? The Cottage is ideal for the business traveler working in or near Thunder Bay. Incredible views of Lake Superior vs. a hotel room? Not even the nicest hotel room can compare! You will feel refreshed, recharged and ready for those meetings each day. Quality, secure, wireless Internet provide the opportunity to truly work "remote". Mobile phone connection in the area is excellent and The Cottage is just 1/2 hour driving distance from Thunder Bay City Centre. Your "home away from home" hosts a large 55" Samsung Smart Television in the main living area with satellite connection, lots of channels and FREE Netflix & Amazon movies, which invite you to relax at days end.
The NEW hot tub/spa is located on the front deck overlooking Lake Superior and is "open" year-round. It is therapeutic to relax in the warm water as the sun rises or sets and in-between sunshine, moonshine, raindrops or snowflakes. A perfect place for amazing star-gazing and viewing Northern Lights.
A new propane fueled BBQ grill & fire table is located on the front deck.
Perhaps the North Shore experience is not complete without toasted marshmallows over a lakeside campfire? It is your decision. Luckily a meandering path in front of The Cottage beckons guests to the lakeside fire pit, which is a perfect place to build a fire — and memories that will last a lifetime.
The lower deck literally "hangs" over Lake Superior as its water laps below. This is an amazing place to enjoy panoramic SUPERIOR views while watching the loons pass by & saying hello. And do you remember that book? Yes, THAT book! This could quite possibly be the perfect place to finally read it. Ahhh, but is this really what it's all about? YES!
Two private bedrooms host comfortable beds, fine linens, large closets, dressers and flat screen televisions with satellite access. Both bedrooms are tucked quietly away from the main living area insuring guests can escape to a private space when desired.
The main living/dining area hosts an open concept floor plan with vaulted ceilings, which provide an open, spacious feeling. GONE! Are the days when some unlucky sole is stuck sleeping on an old-fashioned sleeper sofa. Guests will appreciate the new sectional sofa, which morphs into a large, plush, COMFORTABLE place to slumber in the moonlight. A 55" Samsung Smart Television hosts quality satellite with all the channels (including US) & FREE Netflix & Amazon movies. A BOSE sound bar elevates the TV experience and guests may also use it to listen & enjoy their own music via BLUETOOTH. The DVD player and loads of DVD movies of all genres are available for guests to enjoy.
A variety of adult card and board games are provided for guest use.
The bathroom hosts a bath/shower combination with hand held shower option, grab bar and terrific water pressure! Shampoo, conditioner & body soap are provided.
The kitchen is recently updated and fully equipped. Plenty of cook and bakeware, dishes, table settings, napkins, paper towels, dish soap and variety of spices are available for guest use.
