The South Shore
The south shore is truly a place to get away from it all, but not so far from modern conveniences that getting food and gas feel like a chore. The guest book contains tips on all the incredible outdoor activities, local arts, and places to get groceries, dine out, grab a drink, etc. This is truly a year-round destination, whether you enjoy outdoor activities, local cuisine, art, or simply the company of friends & family in one of the most beautiful locations in the northern U.S.
The Area
The home is just a few minutes from the center of Cornucopia, which has a delightful general store/market, awesome coffee shop, bar/restaurant, and marina. Bayfield is about 35 minutes away, as is Washburn (where the largest grocery store is in the area). Ashland is about 45 minutes away (which has a natural foods co-op, Wal-Mart, and wider range of shops). Superior & Duluth are an hour and a bit away.
Property Details
The home’s exterior is sleek and modern, but still blends beautifully into the scenic beauty of the Northwoods. The interior is all about clean, modern lines that don’t distract from the views to the outside, accented by carefully curated (and at times, quirky) art & other decor flourishes. But this property isn’t just about it’s looks: you’ll find every creature comfort and amenity necessary to get the most out of your stay!

The open plan living/dining/kitchen area looks out onto the patio and the woods. The living area is anchored by an electric fireplace. The kitchen is incredibly well-outfitted with every appliance (even a countertop ice maker!) and utensil you could want to enjoy meals “at home.”

The primary bedroom features a king bed, serene views, and an en suite bathroom with a large walk-in shower.

The second bedroom is for the kids (including the inner child of every adult). The built-in bunk beds are a delight! The lower bunk has a queen mattress and we just can’t get over the adorable light-blocking curtains you can pull across the bunk for a cozy night’s sleep. Please note: due to state health department rules & our need to protect our cleaning team members' safety, bedding will be left out for the top bunk, but guests will need to make that bed up themselves.

The second bathroom has a bathtub/shower combo. And right next door is the laundry room, with full-size washer & dryer!

You can step out to the patio from the great room, where there’s a dining table, gas grill, and lounge seating.

There’s a magical trail that leads from the home to the edge of the property, where you can sit around the fire pit and enjoy incredible views of the lake. Or perhaps you’d prefer to enjoy a nap in the nearby hammock! Adding to the magic are mystical gnomes that have been hidden all along the path. A special prize awaits anyone who can find them all!

Porcupine Bluff has everything one could hope for creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Transit Info
Due to the lack of public transportation and the distance between towns/amenities, a car is pretty much essential. But, on the plus side, traffic is not a concept we have up here!
