Northwoods Luxury on Private Black Sand Beach

Beautiful waterfront all-season home with 260ft private lake shore! One of a kind private Blackbeach on Lake Superior, 3 bedrooms with dramatic lake views and everything you need to make your trip memorable.

If you've experienced Minnesota's North Shore, you know the secret beauty that awaits. From hiking, skiing and the famous Gitchi-Gami Bike Trail, the only challenge is deciding what do first...that is, if you can peel yourself away from the private beach and your cup of coffee.

A one of a kind property on the north shore for our guests to enjoy in complete privacy.

The entire property is available for our guests to access and use.

Available for questions over phone, email or text anytime of the day.

In contrast to the rocky shoreline of most of Lake superior, this is the only property that has a sandy beach that is naturally black in color. Come experience it.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a sauna or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access, onsite parking, and a car charging station.

Great Place to Stay for Thanksgiving Week
We had a wonderful stay during Thanksgiving week at Black Beach! 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!

Completely Amazing Property!
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. You will not be disappointed with this home!

Amazing Family Getaway at BlackBeach
We recently stayed at this wonderful Lake Superior beach house and had an unforgettable experience. 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!

A Piece of Heaven
Blackbeach was amazing! Super clean, comfy beds, stocked kitchen (even an Keurig!!!) and bathrooms! Communication with the owner was top-notch! We encountered a broken beach chair and he had 4 new ones dropped off the next morning! Our only wish was that the side room was a true screen porch. We LOVED the private beach and sauna!!

Stunning property and beach!
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!!

Wonderful Experience
This vacation VRBO was excellent. We had our own little piece of paradise along Lake Superior. My son loved the access to the shoreline, he spent hours throwing rocks and digging canals. Close to all the attractions. Extremely clean and had everything we needed. We will be back for sure! Adam was very responsive to any questions we had.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We had all the comforts of home and loved our evenings sitting in front of the fireplace with the sound of the waves coming in through the windows. It was a peaceful time away from the kids. We will definitely be visiting again.

This place was by far the best place we ever had up North. Secluded but not isolated, you feel like at the tip end end of the Northshore! Close to Gooseberry and the lighthouse, few miles away from our favorite pie place, stunning view, awesome beach, fire on the beach, beautiful wooden house, fully equipped. And last but not the least: flawless communication with the manager. Our visiting family was so amazed, and we are greatful to have found this gem. Hope to go back again😀

My Mom loves the North Shore. We all do. It was perfect for us! We had a beautiful view of a very private cove. Would be amazing and lovely in the summer. Very neat and clean and lots of kitchen accessories, pans, dishes etc.. We will hopefully get to come back again. Thank you for the great vacation!

Our favorite place to stay on the North Shore
We've taken many trips and stayed at many places on the North Shore, but Black Beach is our favorite. We've stayed here multiple times. Beautiful location and perfectly spaced close to so many adventures.

Blackbeach is an amazing North Shore retreat
My husband and 3 kids (ages 8, 11, and 13) stayed here as part of a longer trip to the Upper Midwest. 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!

Winter Getaway
We had a wonderful long weekend with our best friends. We come to the North Shore every January and we’re so glad we were able to stay at Black Beach Cove. There was plenty of room and we loved the feel of the cozy cabin. We enjoyed fires in the wood burning fireplace and the view from each room was amazing. The private beach was beautiful and we appreciated that the cabin was within quick driving distance to so many parks/trails to explore. The cabin had everything we needed including snuggly blankets and games to play. We hope to return in the future.

Birthday Getaway
This property is even more stunning than the pictures show it to be. It is the perfect traditional cabin getaway but has all modern amenities. The kitchen was wonderful for family meals, and the house is perched right next to the beach and you can hear the waves from the porch. It felt very private, yet it was incredibly accessible. Love the location so close to Split Rock and the state parks. The host was incredibly accessible and very kind. We were bummed to have to leave a night early due to a big winter storm. We left because of road conditions in souther Minnesota that would be on our drive, but the host was very reassuring of the wonderful snow services they have for the house if we had wanted to stay. We will definitely be returning.

20th Anniversary get away
This property is extremely cozy and right on Lake Superior. Ten or fifteen steps and your right on the beautiful black sand beach. We chose this property to spend our 20th anniversary at. Although our trip was cut a little short due to weather we will definitely be back to stay again. The garage however is not right next to the cabin, it’s about halfway up the hill that is the driveway to the highway. It should be noted that the driveway is at a decent grade up to the highway. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to return!

Great place and location
The property and cabin are just as advertised. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds/linens were comfortable and all mechanicals worked as expected. Our family loved our time here. Our children are more indoor kids but here, they couldn't spend enough time on the beach, exploring, agate hunting and enjoying campfires. It's nice to be so close to town and groceries as we had to make a few runs. The owners were great and communicative. We hope to stay here again soon.
