Welcome to Water’s Edge! We hope this becomes your new annual Lake Superior hideaway! Ideal for a couple or small family who is looking for an easy spot to stay while they're out adventuring across the North Shore. Or, just simply relax and enjoy your direct water access and an unbeatable view of the lake and ships passing by. We can't talk up the view and exclusive access to Rocky Point Cove and Flood Bay enough... this really is a gem of a place. Everything is Instagramable, get ready!
Enjoy a spacious 792-sqft condo-style lake home right on the water. A staircase and walkway lead you down from the parking lot to your private entrance with keycode entry. As you enter, you're met with a great view beyond the living room! Private primary bedroom with queen-size bed, and closet. Full bathroom includes shower/tub, toilet and vanity. Open floorplan kitchen with appliances and utensils for basic cooking. There's a woodburning fireplace in the large family room with large sofa, and seating to watch the view or the TV. Walk out to the deck to find a patio set for dining al fresco, and an electric grill. The grassy space is perfect for relaxing, lawn games and hanging out just steps away from the shoreline, or head down the rocks to dip your toes into the water, fish, drop in your kayak or paddleboard. Our cove is also gorgeous in the winter time, with views of the wolves playing on the ice as well as the excitement of wave season against the rocks! If you like to snowmobile, there is public access near the resort next door. Snowshoers can feel free to adventure around our property, or the closest places to rent equipment is at Splitrock Lighthouse or Tettegouche State Park. Check out Erkki Harju Ski Trail nearby for cross country skiing, or maybe Lutsen mountain skiing is more of your thing (1 hour drive north). Or, just bring a book to relax and enjoy the tranquility of the view while you stay warm and cozy inside in front of the fire.
Wi-Fi is included with Smart TVs in the living room and bedroom for relaxing with your favorite streaming services. We've left some of our favorite books and games in the unit for your enjoyment. Firewood is available for purchase down the road at the gas station. There is a property manager on site for emergencies, and the unit is professionally cleaned and stocked with toiletries, linens and towels between each guest reservation.
The condo is a part of a homeowner's association that covers 46 acres of wooded property and a half-mile of shoreline. Your stay includes access to all of the hiking trails, tennis courts and seasonal outdoor pool and hot tub (Memorial Day - Oct 1st). We encourage you to take full advantage of the amenities during your stay! Since they are community spaces, we ask that our guests be considerate of others on the property in terms of noise, trash and sharing community spaces. The property is next door to Superior Shores Resort that includes a steakhouse (open to the public), cut across the beach at Flood Bay to walk to dinner! The beach is shared between the resort and a public state park, and we are asked to leave the amenities on the beach for resort guests. However, agate hunting on the beach is fair game and we've acquired quite the collection from our years of visiting. Bring your bucket! Our neighbor kindly installed rock fire rings around the shoreline as well as a community herb garden, just for you. Please utilize them!
One of our favorite things to do when we're in the area is to drive up and down the coastline to admire the scenery and discover spots to hike or take pictures, or just be one with nature. Get ready to pack some snacks and explore! The location is close to some quintessential North Shore spots: Splitrock Lighthouse, Betty's Pies and The Rustic Inn, Black Beach, Iona's Beach (it's pink!), Tettegouche State Park and Gooseberry Falls. Our lakehome is located across the highway from Lakeview National Golf Course. Less than a 5 minute drive into Two Harbors to watch the tankers pull in and out of the harbor; grab a snack at the 5th St Malt Shoppe on the way. Very close to a grocery store, gas stations, boutique shopping and restaurants in Two Harbors.
You'll be among some of our first guests -- we just took ownership on June 14th, 2024! We love the North Shore and recently had the opportunity to purchase this home from someone who was ready to pass on the torch of their beloved family spot. We honestly still can't believe that we lucked out with this one; the location, view and amenities are unbeatable. This unit is great for crashing after a busy day or to disconnect from reality and relax with the view, and we have many planned updates to make it our own over the coming year. Our 2024 rental rates reflect the need for some aesthetic updates to the unit to make it look more current, but the view, location and amenities far eclipse any little details like tile or wallpaper. We hope that you'll come back again soon to enjoy, and often!
*There is a limit to 4 individuals staying at this property at one time per HOA rules. Although we love pets, owner is very allergic to dogs so we have to keep our space pet free. A note about the fireplace: please use caution. Depending on the wood used, it can get smoky and may leave a lingering scent, which is noticeable to some in the unit from past use.
