The house was great - every bit as nice as the pictures - and the beds were very comfortable. Our host, Adam, was an excellent communicator, even going so far as providing pictures of what kitchen tools we could expect to find there. That was so very helpful since we were planning a big Thanksgiving meal. Our granddaughter enjoyed the black sandy beach, which is quite different from the other properties we've stayed at on Lake Superior. There was always a large selection of birds flitting about that were fun to watch - Eagles, Chickadees, Grouse, a Pileated Woodpecker, Mergansers and more! A beautiful property! ##### Michele G.

We were in heaven when we arrived and saw the house and the private black beach. The decor and cleanliness was outstanding. We were worried about the fact there was no air conditioning (it was a warm, humid few days) and the fans keep the house very cool. The beach was where we spent the most time looking for rocks, taking dips in the water, and enjoying the bonfire. Hearing the waves at night was so relaxing. We enjoyed playing games at the table in the evening too. This place is a gem and we are planning to return in future visits!! ##### Maureen A.

We stayed at BlackBeach Cove with our adult kids and under 4 yrs old grandkids the last weekend in October. What a perfectly maintained, equipped and furnished wooded home situated on a private black sand beach right on the Gitchi Gami State Bike Trail (bring your bikes!), with a sauna! Minutes away from Split Rock and Gooseberry State Parks for hiking, as well as Two Harbors for groceries and restaurants. Our grandsons enjoyed throwing rocks in the magical lake from multiple destinations. The only downside for us - we need more than 3 bedrooms as our family grows! Adam is a fantastic host.

The house itself was spotless and well-maintained, which made our stay comfortable and stress-free. It had everything we needed for a family of 5\. Our kids absolutely loved spending time at the beach, which was closer then expected. They spent hours playing in the black sand and collecting rocks. In the evenings, we gathered around for beach fires and roasting marshmallows. Another great feature of this house is its proximity to hiking trails. We enjoyed several scenic hikes (Gooseberry Falls, Split Rock Lighthouse, Tettegouche), taking in the natural beauty of the area. Overall, this beach house provided the perfect setting for our family vacation. We can't wait to come back! ##### Joel L. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathryn I.

After staying at Blackbeach, we all agreed we wanted more time to spend there! The cabin is extremely well appointed and has even better views. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to make all our meals. The cabin was well stocked with games for us to play and the kids enjoyed playing them on the porch area. We loved relaxing on the beach. There was a great shaded area where my husband and I sat and read while the younger kids looked for lake glass. We could have done that for several days! The house also has a separate garage which was helpful-we put our van in there during a storm that was forecasted to possibly have large hail. Adam was extremely responsive and well prepared. He was an extremely good host. My only complaint is that the house lighting seemed a little dim in places. The master shower was very dark. Additionally, on the evening with the storm, the kids were playing a game in the family room and it was almost hard to see due to the low lighting. Otherwise, we have no complaints! We just wish we had more time! Thank you for this amazing retreat! ##### Kathryn I. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marty C.

Adam was great with communication before and after our stay. The home is just lovely and it was so incredibly clean throughout. The beach was our favorite part. We were able to swim and play games on the beach. At night we toasted s’mores and hot dogs. We would spend the later evenings playing cards and games at the table. The beds are comfortable and there are so many items stocked to help make our stay enjoyable. We will be back next July!! ##### Maureen A.

Highly recommend. ##### chelsea d. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andria K. Aug 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This place is a little slice of heaven! It is very clean and well taken care of. The kitchen had everything we needed including both a coffee pot and a Keurig (big coffee drinkers). The beds where very comfortable. We enjoyed the sounds of the waves each night and the beach was just breath-taking! Very comfortable couches where we watched movies each night. Great internet reception so we were completely cut off from the world. Towels, shampoo & conditioner, extra blankets, etc. I could go on for quite a while explaining how wonderful this place is. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/55f04a01-9cfb-4d66-a3dd-3e4da90a356d-1754682632550.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/96728dad-045b-4503-be0b-2c80b78bfa8e-1754682633194.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Andria K.
