Spacious 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath modern charmer home just 2 blocks from Lake Superior.

Well-appointed kitchen, convenient main-level bedroom and bath with additional two bedrooms and bath upstairs. Smart TV (with 300+ channels), Super Nintendo, board games, toys & books.

The kitchen is fully stocked to make family meals, brew coffee or bake some pizza in the double-oven while the open and bright dining and living rooms offer plenty of space to socialize and be cozy.

The oversized bathroom on the upper-floor is stocked with towels, hair-dryer and shower needs while the unique half-bath on the main level is a marvel not to be missed (was it always there or added later… we don’t know!)

Outside amenities include a large front porch swing (a guest favorite) for morning tea or coffee while the backyard fire pit is a hit for winding down the day’s adventures with some smores!

Great family getaway
My in-laws were visiting from TX so decided to take them along with our toddlers to visit the beautiful North Shore area of Lake Superior. This house was in the perfect location to visit so many places: Agate Bay/Beach, Gooseberry Falls, Splitrock Light House. Our kids loved the kids books left in the room and also the games in the living room. The backyard fire set up was great and so easy to use! The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast and dinners to enjoy after a long day of venturing out. The host is also very sweet and great about communicating and checking in on me to make sure our stay was going well. We definitely will look out for this house when we have friends/family visiting us!

Truly amazing place and wonderful hosts
We really enjoyed our stay at the Harbor House! Anna is a very thoughtful host and took extra care of us while we were hit with a blizzard! Not only she arranged for daily snow removal, she checked in on us regularly to make us feel comfortable as we were waiting out the storm. We ended up extending our trip and Anna accommodated us without any issues. Beautiful house, neat town. We will be back!

Perfect Getaway
We had a wonderful stay at The Harbor House! There was plenty of space for the 7 of us to hang out and also have our own space. The house was very clean and all of the small touches made for a great stay. We will definitely be back!
