5 STARS⭐️SWEET RETREAT & SPA ON LAKE SUPERIOR Between Grand Marais & Thunder Bay

This picturesque Mink Mountain getaway is nestled on the shores of majestic Lake Superior between Grand Marias, MN & Thunder Bay, Ontario just North of the Minnesota/Canadian border at Grand Portage. The topography changes dramatically in Canada becoming much more mountainous. Here is visible the many Islands & inlets not seen on the Minnesota side. The Cottage is located just 6 miles off HWY 61 directly ON Lake Superior but is AWAY from all the North Shore traffic. The Cottage offers significant savings to US guests with the currency exchange (25-35%) and is absolutely perfect for couples or solo travelers looking for a special, private North Shore experience amongst nature's incredible canvas.

❤️ Note: The Northern Lights are predicted to be especially active this summer (2024)

ONE LEVEL LIVING:
The Cottage allows you to indulge in all the things you love with an updated fully-equipped kitchen, stainless appliances and separate dining & living areas. Satellite Internet provides FREE high speed, unlimited connection to the rest of the world while providing entertainment via large Samsung televisions w/ FREE Netflix, Amazon and AppleTV. Two bedrooms are tucked away so guests can escape to a private space when desired. Heated “under blankets” on the beds in cooler months add extra level of comfort & coziness. A large bathroom hosts a shower/tub combination, lighted mirror w/ lots of hot water & excellent water pressure. One-level living makes it easy for everyone — especially those with physical limitations.

MAIN LIVING AREA:
Large windows facing Lake Superior could be the perfect place for reflection with a cup of tea or glass of wine. Count one million stars or search for the Northern Lights on a clear, dark night. Or curl up on the large sectional sofa with a bowl of popcorn and binge watch a favorite AppleTV Series or Netflix movie. The propane-fueled fireplace adds heat and coziness on a cool evening. This is YOUR time so do whatever you want!

THE GREAT OUTDOORS:
Could the outdoor spa be the perfect place to enjoy a starlit night showered under the Northern Lights? Well, yes! The spa is located just out the front door on the front deck overlooking Lake Superior. Or perhaps you prefer to wrap up in a woolen blanket next to the propane-fueled fire table on a cool, summer evening or crisp autumn night? The meandering path leads to the outdoor wood-burning fire pit and lower deck, which literally hangs over Lake Superior and provides the most INCREDIBLE panoramic views. Watch the sailboats or loons passing by and get your daily dose of vitamin D the natural way.
