What Makes This Property Special

Own Not One, But Two Log Cabins

This Lake Superior waterfront property for sale is a rare two-cabin retreat that doubles your options, your space, and your opportunity on the water. Each authentic cabin has 1 bedroom (loft) and 1 bathroom, plus its own efficient kitchen, dining area for two, and a warm great room anchored by a gas fireplace. Live in one and rent the other, host extended family in both, or use the pair as a turnkey income property; the flexibility is rare in this market.

180 Feet of Lake Superior Shoreline

This is Lake Superior waterfront property for sale at its most rare: 180 +/- feet of owned Lake Superior frontage across 1.50 +/- acres, with panoramic lake views from the bluff and a private wooden stairway leading straight down to the beach below. Sandy shoreline, scattered shoreline boulders, and open water views stretch to the horizon.

Wooden staircase with railings descending a grassy bluff to a sandy Lake Superior beach with scattered rocks, under a blue sky with scattered clouds.

Established Rental History

Both cabins are currently operating as an active short-term rental through VRBO, giving a buyer proven, established income potential from day one. Whether you want a working vacation-rental business, a part-time getaway that pays for itself, or a full-time home with a built-in guest cabin, the rental infrastructure is already in place.

Property Highlights

Fire Pits, Decks & Front-Row Sunsets

Each cabin has its own fire pit and seating area overlooking the water, plus front and back decks for morning coffee, grilling, or quiet reading with the lake always in view. The grounds also include a driftwood-accented swing and bench positioned right along the bluff, simple, unforgettable spots to watch the sun set over Lake Superior.

Authentic Log Construction, Built to Last

Built in 2005, both cabins feature genuine log construction with natural woodwork, vaulted ceilings, and double-glazed, energy-efficient windows. Heat comes from a combination of gas fireplace, propane, and electric, and each cabin includes a full kitchen with microwave, range/stove, and refrigerator. A holding tank handles sewer and a private well supplies water, with fiber-optic internet available at the property for remote work or streaming.

Grounds Designed Around the View

A gently sloping, well-maintained lawn connects both cabins to the bluff, with a gravel shared driveway off State Hwy 13, mature evergreens for privacy, and multiple seating areas placed to take in the panoramic lake views. Highway frontage means easy, paved access, while the layout of the property keeps the water as the focal point from nearly every vantage point.
