Owl's Nest sits high on the Bark Point peninsula, the quiet finger of land between Herbster and Cornucopia where Lake Superior wraps around three sides. It's the kind of place that earns its name: perched in the trees, big and bright up top, with the whole lake laid out below.
The great room. The heart of the home is an open, light-flooded living space under a vaulted tongue-and-groove wood ceiling. Two-story walls of windows pull Lake Superior right into the room — sink into the sofa or one of the sheepskin-draped recliners and watch the water change color all afternoon. There's an indoor gas fireplace for cool evenings and an open flow straight into the kitchen and dining area.
The kitchen. A full kitchen built for real cooking: generous island with seating, stainless appliances, oven and stove, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and a well-stocked set of cookware, dishes, and wine glasses. Gather around the dining table or pull up a stool at the island with your laptop and the lake in view.
Three bedrooms. Three comfortable bedrooms, each with big windows framing forest or water. Crisp linens, extra pillows and blankets, room-darkening shades, ceiling fans, wardrobes and hangers. The primary bedroom (with en suite full bath) lies just off the living room and has a king bed, split unit A/C, ceiling fan, and the "to die for" feature: two-story set of windows with lake views. Though, if you're not a morning person, remote controlled blinds will keep those views hidden until you're ready for sunlight. The ground floor level has the secondary bedrooms, each with a queen bed, comfy linens, as well as lovely lake views. You'll find another full bath on this level.
Lower-level family room. A spacious walk-out lower level adds a second living area with another gas fireplace and easy access to the yard — perfect for kids, games, a movie night, or spreading out as a group.
Outside. This is where Owl's Nest shines. The stunning second floor deck and a long covered porch wrap the home with Adirondack chairs and outdoor seating, all angled toward the lake. There's a fire pit for evenings, a barbecue grill with utensils, outdoor lighting, and plenty of green space for the kids (or kids at heart) to play. For those cold winter nights, guests can enjoy the custom-built wood-burning sauna that is perched at the edge of the property with views of the lake from within. A private wooded stairwell leads down through the trees to your own stretch of rugged Lake Superior shoreline — ideal for agate hunting, skipping stones, or simply listening to the waves.
Family-ready. Traveling with little ones? We've got a pack-n-play travel crib and a baby high chair ready to go.
