Relaxing stay on Madeline Island

Our stay at Gooseberry Cottage was everything we had hoped for. It was a great home base to explore all that Madeline Island has to offer. The property was very private and peaceful and we had lots of fun on the beach in the lake. The home was very comfortable for our family of 4.

Perfect getaway

We were looking for a cabin/cottage feel, lake access we could enjoy as a family whenever we wanted too, and a place to bring our pup. This location exceeded our expectations and met all our needs. Thank you for a wonderful stay and for making this property available to rent.

Beautiful private beach stay

We enjoyed everything about our stay, especially the beach, indoor and outdoor porches, master bedroom with view of Lake Superior with windows on 3 sides. We had several hikes that were challenging and fun. Appreciated that this island has preserved its beauty/austerity

Great location for our family vacation

Gooseberry cabin was the perfect spot for our family of 4 to get away and enjoy Madeline Island. The cabin was clean, the beds were comfortable, the beach was fantastic to enjoy the lake and watch stars at night. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything we needed and we used a couple of the board games on a rainy day. Thanks for hosting our family 😀

Beautiful Beach

We enjoyed our stay very much. The rustic cottage brought me back to my childhood cabin days and I loved sleeping on the screen porch! The beach was wonderful and my son did a little kayaking. The owner was very responsive to the few questions we had. We enjoyed exploring beautiful Madeline Island.

Relaxing Summer Break

The cabin was perfect for our family vacation. The beach was accessible and a great place to explore. Seating in the yard and on the deck also created fun family spaces. The house had everything we needed for creating meals and spending time together.

Second Stay

This was my second time at this property and I will hopefully keep coming back - the location is great and it is very private. The property has such charm and has great bones. The island has always been a favorite destination and this makes it even more special. Close proximity to Big Bay State Park with excellent hiking trails.

Beautiful, quiet setting and incredible view of the lake!

Great throw back family experience. Had all the amenities we needed and was just a nice, quiet place to get away to with fam- sometimes you have to force yourself away from hustle/bustle, and this was perfect for that. Close to marathon route was also great. Dinners and lunches in town were awesome

Beauty and the Beach

Our family (2 kids - 8 years/10 years old) loved our stay at Gooseberry Cottage. We enjoyed relaxing on the beach, playing catch in the yard, and dealing cards on the deck. The majestic views of the lake were spectacular. The house has everything you need. If you need to unplug and reset, this is the house for you.

Magical place on Lake Superior

Madeline Island is the gem of the Wisconsin Lake Superior shore, and Gooseberry Cottage was the perfectly magical place for us to spend a week. It is completely private with a spectacular 600 foot beach, large lawn, fireplace and fire pit, and generous deck. This is a real lake cottage, casual, just a bit rustic and very comfortable. It is furnished and equipped with everything one needs. We will be back!
