About this property

Beachfront and Lakehouse With All of the Comforts!

Private Lakehouse on Great Lake Superior with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The bathroom is adjoining with the master bedroom but there is also an additional door that allows for access to the bathroom from the main living space. 2nd bedroom is on an open loft. 21 acres and 600 feet of sandy beach waterfront on Secluded Bark Bay on Lake Superior. This property is a Zero VOC property. No volatile organic compounds. No smells, organic cotton sheets, natural soaps and cleaning supplies! Hallelujah for no scents!!!!

Pet Fee is as followed, $90 per pet per stay. For each pet you bring youll need to pay an additional $90. The max number of pets is 4. DNR ANNOUNCEMENT: With no significant rainfall across much of the state we're once again asking the public to avoid burning due to elevated fire danger.

Some locations in northern Wisconsin have now gone over 30 days without precipitation. A combined lack of rainfall, low humidity and breezy conditions significantly increase fire danger this weekend and into the start of next week.
On windy, dry days, embers from any fire, especially burn piles and campfires, can easily escape control and cause a wildfire if not properly extinguished.

The DNR has already responded to over 80 wildfires across Wisconsin in the past week, burning 182 acres, bringing the yearly total to 244 fires burning over 500 acres. The majority of these recent wildfires have been related to debris burning.

If you plan to spend time outside, the DNR asks you to avoid all outdoor burning, including debris burning and limiting the use of campfires and bonfires. Be sure to discard hot ashes from woodstoves or fireplaces in a metal container until cold. Outdoor enthusiasts should also use caution with any off-road vehicles or equipment that can create a spark and start a fire.

Due to current and forecasted conditions, the DNR is suspending annual burn permits in DNR protection areas across the northern two-thirds of the state. If your property is outside the DNR's jurisdiction, please check with local authorities before burning. Check the DNR's website to learn if your property is within the DNR's jurisdiction: https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/forestfire/permits

Always check before you burn. Remember – fire danger and burning restrictions change every day.

Excellent, private getaway

A great place for families (and their pup). Our kids loved exploring the shoreline after a snowstorm-- they collected ice crystals and loved looking across the bay with the binoculars that were provided. A well stocked kitchen for big meals, this was a great stay!

2 days with family from abroad

We had a wonderful time with our family visiting from abroad. The cabin surroundings are just beautiful in the fall and you have access to the beach also amazing. We are not early morning people and not having blackouts made it very difficult to sleep in in the morning. The shared spaces for the whole family are just perfect. The space has everything you need to enjoy meals and spend time together indoors

Every Bit as Wonderful as We Had Hoped!

First, the home and property is exactly as it appears in the pictures. You can get down to the shoreline via trail or stairway and there is sandy beach and rocky edges as you find on the North Shore of Lake Superior. There are many acres and you have complete privacy and seclusion. We were there for rest and relaxation and we didn’t see another soul, hear any road noise or any airplane flyover. The sunrises were spectacular. We love doing fall color tours of the south shore of Lake Superior. As Minnesotans we had spent our lives doing only the north shore so this is our new fall tradition. The home is dog-friendly which we appreciate and I know our German Shepherd had as good a time as we did. There was plenty of yard to chase her ball and do zoomies. She also went down to the lake to wade and bark at the waves, which was very unusual because she has been famously afraid of any water since we got her from shepherd rescue. This might have been the highpoint of our trip, her actually getting in water. The home has excellent wifi reception and a smart tv with any app you want to sign in on so you won’t miss any sports. The house is spacious and comfortable and the kitchen has just about everything. As the host advises, bring the food and supplies you think you will need as shopping for groceries nearby is sparse. Two restaurants to hit for sure are Poncho’s Tavern in Cornucopia (under new ownership) and Cranberry Over Superior in Herbster.

Great place

We had a great time the property was spot on the description. Watching the sunrise in the morning off of the lake was breathtaking. We will definitely stay again when we are in that area if it is available. Communication with the host was prompt and very easy

Outdoor Relaxation

If you enjoy lake life and the outdoors this is your place. The home was within driving distance to many beautiful beaches and the Apostle Islands. I would definitely recommend a truck during the winter months as the driveway may be an issue in deeper snow. We loved walking down the shoreline infront of the home. However, access to the water maybe an issue for the elderly as you have several steps to go down and the walking path is a bit steep. Our stay was a bit chilly the first night as you do not have access to the thermostat. However, after contact with the host the heat was adjusted. This issue will not affect our return.

It was a nice house and an even nicer property and location. This is a great place to stay for the solitude of nature and also a good jumping off point to explore everything Bayfield County has to offer. I wish there were 2 bathrooms but other than that I would definitely stay again.

Herbster cabin

The property is very nice. The accommodations would have been better had it been cleaner on arrival. Having the fragrance free idea is nice but there were no cleaning supplies available in the event needed. ( including a broom and Dustpan. )Additional note: all bathroom items were not fragrance free.

AMAZING

This Lake house is great! Perfect location, great beach to feel the water, sand and pick up beautiful rocks. Our pups had a great time as we were able to just let them run free with the property and freedom of being so private. Great house with wonderful views. Highly recommend! The surrounding areas of WI are beautiful and we found so much magic with the snow, waterfalls and overall beauty of this state! LOVED IT!

Lake Superior Fall Getaway

My husband and I like to visit the Lake Superior area each fall. We chose the Herbster area because we had never been there. The house was very private without a neighbor in sight and had a nice outside area. At the time it was advertised as a two bedroom one bath that worked out perfectly for us and our two dogs. The kitchen is well stocked and the bed was comfortable. The owner was helpful and very assessable. We had the fantastic experience of seeing a very large black bear in the driveway! Don’t worry, black bears tend to run from us humans. We did a couple nice hikes at Meyers beach and Lost Creek Falls and strolled around Bayfield. Colors were still beautiful, we will consider renting this home again.

Quiet and comfy

The house was large enough for 3. Loved the wood floors, gas fireplace and large kitchen. The view, once you are outside, is amazing! Being able to walk down to the beach was nice. The weather we had was not prefect but we still enjoyed as much outside time as possible. There are few things open or nearby until after May so be sure to bring food, paper products and things to drink so you won't need to run back to a large town.

Beautiful!

We needed a get away and wanted to be on Superior. Found this home and it was everything we needed and more! Eileen's home is so inviting. And the views? They were spectacular. Watching the ice flows, swans, mergansers and sunsets was exactly what was needed. And the weather was perfect. Our fur babies loved it just as much and all the exploring wore them out. Spent many hours combing the beach looking for agates and sea glass. Eileen is a wonderful host and always kept in contact with anything we needed. And based on our travel dates, was gracious and allowing us to arrive early. It was such a treat for us. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Eileen Karpfinger

Host profile image
I'm a Native Wisconsinite and my husband is from California. We are both Chiropractors. We have 4 kids. We use natural products and building material for all of our properties, including this one! This lakehouse is a dream come true for me! I grew up with grandparents who rented a cottage on an inland lake each summer. It was my happy place! So having our very own lake home is a goal I've had my whole life! We couldn't be happier with this gorgeous sanctuary! We hope you value coming to a place that values the animals and plants , air and water!

Why they chose this property

You love real natural darkness! You love Lake Superior! You love bringing your family to the beach and swimming! You love seeing the sunrise over Lake Superior! You loath scented sheets and air fresheners(Or you don't care but are comfortable with natural cleaners.). You want to get away but don't want to drive forever. You want to see the ice caves of the National Lakeshore. You practice Wim Hof Cold Plunging(we do too!). You cross country ski! You like seeing eagles, porcupines, and the occasional bear sighting. You've always wanted to...anything South Shore of Lake Superior!

What makes this property unique

We have real lake access. Most homes on Lake Superior have no way to actually get down to the water. This home has a perfect place to walk down 12 steps to the beach. And 600 feet of private waterfront!
