About this property

Sanctuary on the North Shore of Lake Superior

The unique feature of this property is the spectacular panoramic high bluff view of Lake Superior. Our property has direct access to the Blue Jay Vista Trail for both snowmobiles and ATV's. The A-frame structure features vaulted 2-story window views facing east to Lake Superior. Relax or dine on a second-story deck that provides expansive views along the north shore, Lake Superior, and the sun setting through the woods. The A-frame is completely secluded on 6 wooded acres. The property features two outdoor fire pit areas with plenty of seating and fire wood is provided.

Another unique feature is the location. Easy access for groceries, wine and spirits, eateries, and gas. Beaver Bay is close by with more restaurants and shopping. With several state parks nearby, guests will find numerous hiking and biking trails, waterfalls, and scenic views. A snowmobile/ATV trail system is within walking distance of the property.

The A-frame was completed in 2009 and is a perfect blend of new amenities and an 'up north' interior décor complete with log railings, furniture, and tongue & groove throughout. The great room has a vaulted ceiling and panoramic unobstructed views of Lake Superior. Enjoy an even more expansive view from an outdoor seating area on the edge of the bluff.

We loved our stay at this home. It is not located on the water, but the views of Lake Superior were incredible.The home was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook for the holiday, and we liked that it wasn’t too far outside Duluth.

My daughter and I visited the North Shore for the first time, and we absolutely loved our A-Frame! It was so beautiful, and we couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful setting. The beds were so comfortable and we had everything we needed inside and outside. Would highly recommend.

Always Magical
A return visit to the A Frame for us after a few years and it's even more special than we remember. A great property, with a stunning overview, on a spectacular stretch of the north shore. Moonlight and dawn views of the sky and lake are particularly wonderful from this spot. The property is immaculately maintained and rental process easy.

The Sanctuary lived up to it's name!
Our family was looking for a place to enjoy the North Shore and celebrate a birthday. We were all together for the weekend and enjoyed the easy access to so many outdoor adventures AND the quiet times spent around the home. From the deck to yard games to bonfires, it really was a wonderful retreat. Dave always responded promptly to my questions leading up to the weekend.

Amazing views
Sanctuary on the North Shore was more than we expected. It's hard to describe, you just have to book it and go there! It was hard to leave. Our fav was seeing the recent harvest moon shimmering on the lake from birds eye view. It was mesmerizing!

A REAL SANCTUARY
The best place we have stayed at on the north shore. Incredible view with lots to do on the property like relaxing in the hammock,playing horseshoes, having fires in the two fire pits, sitting out on the point etc. Dave was great when we had a little problem with one of the TV he responded very quick to our issue and walked us through it. A great week we didn't want to leave to go home.

Beautiful Property with an amazing view
Very clean, well-deigned and decorated property with 2 decks and 2 fire pits with great views of the lake. In the evening we were sitting outside and a deer strolled across the lawn 20 feet from us. The owner was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to questions. We took his recommendation for a local restaurant and were pleased. Super convenient to lots of parks and great hiking.

Beautiful home and views
My family of 4 enjoyed 5 nights of rest and relaxation at this beautiful home. It is even better in person than in the pictures. We had a bit of a weather-related snafu and Dave called us before we even realized the issue, and was communicative throughout. We were so grateful for that. We'd definitely recommend this home to anyone who wants to get away from it all, while also having easy access to so many great North Shore spots.

Late Fall getaway
The cabin itself is beautiful. Some suggestions: Would have liked to have known about the availability of the Keurig and washer/ dryer. Would suggest the king mattress upstairs be flipped and rotated. Suggest the dishes, pots and pans and glassware be checked by caretaker. All needed to be rewashed before they could be used. The view from the property is fantastic. The cabin is beautifully furnished and very comfortable. Really appreciated the access to firewood and kindling. We had a very relaxing time. Would absolutely recommend this property to anyone.

About the host

Hosted by David N Nobbe

Host profile image
We are full-time working professionals who love to get away on the north shore. We have many fond memories from our own childhood of spending vacation time up north, and then created new ones with our 2 children. It is a setting that appeals to those who want to do nothing but relax & enjoy the beauty of the north shore, to those that prefer to be active outdoors.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property for the unique expansive view of Lake Superior. An added plus is the location and proximity to many state parks, Lutsen Ski Resort, restaurants and stores.

What makes this property unique

The view of Lake Superior changes constantly so we enjoy the ever-changing scenery. We continue to find new scenic locations that are accessible on short or long hikes, or on recreational vehicle trails. The views are spectacular both inside and outside so the weather does not inhibit full enjoyment of the beauty of the north shore.
