About this property

MAGICAL LAKE SUPERIOR VIEWS AT THIS 5 STAR COTTAGE! UPSCALE EXPERIENCE!

'What a view!' Will be your first words when you enter Highlander Cottage.

Located just 30 minutes from Thunder Bay and a little over an hour from Grand Marais, Minnesota this cottage is the perfect base 'home' for you to explore from and return to each day. NOTE: Canadian guests please use HomeAway.ca for Canadian pricing.

Custom built with granite countertops, hardwood floors and leather furnishings, Highlander cottage, open year around, offers it's guests an arts and crafts style with a little post and beam thrown in. The inspiration for the one floor plus loft 1800 square foot layout was the panoramic view of Lake Superior...none other like it ! I designed the floor plan with an open living room/ kitchen concept incorporating a small cozy reading loft when you want to get away. The bedrooms are designed with privacy in mind. They are at opposite ends of the cottage and each has it's own bathroom with ample ceramic tile showers. For those bath aficionados the master has "ye ole" clawfoot tub.

The living room has a large gas fireplace to keep you warm and cozy while you look through all the windows to the lake. Off the living room is a large covered porch so rain or shine you can be outside enjoying the view while lounging on the patio furniture from Lazy Boy! The second side deck off the kitchen is convenient for grilling on the BBQ . This deck offers a great setting to dine with plenty of seating for a nice group gathering.

The kitchen is fully equipped for those of us who love to cook....and bake! If there is something missing I will make sure you have it! This is a working kitchen designed to minimize steps and enjoy the wonderful view while you are preparing.

The cottage is located in a very private setting. It is a large property offering a camp fire area up by the cottage and a nature trail down to the ledge rock edge of Lake Superior where you can sit and ponder life. With the Mink Mountains literally out your back door one can take the many hiking trails from easy to challenging. One of my favorites is the short walk to Picnic Point where a picnic lunch is a must! During the winter months these trails are wonderful for snow shoes. For those who like breaking trail... X country skiing is the best. Whether it be through the woods or on the lake when frozen over....a challenge is always waiting! Highlander Cottage is a silent sports persons dream destination any time of the year. Whether you are a reader, photographer, artist, writer, silent sports enthusiast, or a tourist that likes to be off the beaten path this is for you. Oh by the way the cottage DOES have WIFI so you will always be ...connected.

RATES: Rates are in U.S. dollars. To get Canadian pricing use VRBO.ca Rates are based on 2 person occupancy. Additional persons are $25 U.S. each. NO PARTY GROUPS PLEASE! THANK YOU.

A Beautiful Hidden Gem on Lake Superior
Absolutely beautiful! Pictures didn't do it justice! No small touch was missed! Bonzi has a beautiful home on the lake and is hands on with everything! She came over and met us and went over things and gave us wonderful recommendations: Kakabeka Falls Farmers Market, Niva's Diner, Finnport Finnish Shop etc! All were fabulous! We loved sitting on the deck watching the lake, especially at sunset! Everything you could possibly need was in the cottage! We can't wait to go back!

Fantastic!
This is a fabulous property with a stunning view of Lake Superior. The property manager was excellent and provided timely communications and made our stay flawless. This was our second trip to the cottage and we are already planning our third for next year. I can't provide a higher recommendation -- the repeat visits speak for themselves.

Piece of Heaven
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this secluded piece of heaven. The hike to picnic point was absolutely fantastic and far exceeded our expectations. The house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. If coming from the states please bring groceries as it is quite a trek to get to the closest grocery store about 40-50 minutes or so. Bonzi, Thank you so much for sharing your peaceful tranquil home with us!

Absolutely a beautiful spot
The pictures of this house and the views shown on VRBO don’t do it justice. We sat for hours with our coffee and starred out at the lake watching as the fog would conceal and then reveal the islands that dotted the scene. Fishing in Sturgeon Bay, which is very close, never failed to yield northern Pike with only 4 casts and yes, we saw bear, eagles, and some sort of Crane. We’ll definitely be back.

Incredible
This is the second year my sister and I stayed @ Highland Cottage and left knowing we would book again for next year. As the descriptor indicates, the cottage is truly magical. From the moment we entered, there is such a feeling of peace, calm, warmth, beauty, appreciation of those who have shaped our lives that is so incredibly special and restorative. The cottage, Bonzi with her melodic tinkle of a laugh/smile that radiates throughout and Cheekies are truly an experience like non other. Truly an incredible week.

Weekend Getaway
My husband and I had the most incredible getaway weekend at the Highlander Cottage! The views of Lake Superior are stunning and the cottage is gorgeous. Bonzi greeted us briefly to make sure we had everything we needed and then was available for any issues that we may have encountered, which we didn't. The cottage was very secluded and had all of the amenities that we needed for a relaxing time away from it all. We did a little bit of hiking on the nearby trails. Highly recommend the trail to Picnic point if you want a rock shelf spot to reflect and the Mink Mountain overlook trail (note there is elevation) for an awesome view. We were greeted each night by Cheekies, a red fox, who gets an egg for her cuteness. Without a doubt I would recommend this cottage and we will definitely be returning again!! Thanks for sharing your gorgeous home with us, Bonzi!

Another Perfect Stay!
Highlander Cottage is perfect - immaculate and well stocked, plenty of space and yet intimate. The view is breathtaking. The location is peaceful, but there are all kinds of things to do nearby (I know, because I read about them in the diaries while I was snuggled into a comfortable chair overlooking the lake😉). Thanks so much for another great visit!

Slice of Heaven
We were looking to get away and unplug. Highlander Cottage more than delivered. From the moment we walked into see a picture perfect panoramic view, we were blown away. While we did a lot of sight seeing while we were there it was hard to drag ourselves away from the peace and beauty the Cottage and surrounding area had to offer. Bonzi was a terrific host and very responsive. Our ten year old wants to make visiting a yearly tradition. With gratitude. Shannon

A Piece of Paradise
I want to wax poetic about this magical home, but I not a poet and I know it! We found a magical, beauteous, and peaceful place in the Highland Cottage. The home has amazing art throughout, make sure to check the signature of the Artist! I will leave the delightful discovery for you to find out. Everywhere you look, you will find a treasure to study and that is just in the house! All needs were met in the kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms. Comfort Plus. Now, let's venture outside. Pure Magic! The scenic views of Lake Superior are mesmerizing, meditative and majestic. The cottage is overall centrally located to all attractions in and around Thunder Bay. Bonzi was a terrific host. Do not miss out on this stay. You will not be disappointed, in fact you will not want to leave.

Couldn't have been better
This house is stunning. It's beautiful, comfortable, well designed, and Bonzi has thought of everything in furnishing and equipping it. She is the best host imaginable, very responsive to outreach and yet respectful of guests' privacy (she lives down the road). The view here is spectacular, second to none, and the quiet is astonishing. When we found the Mink Mountain trails behind the house, a short walking distance, we couldn't have been happier. We LOVED this rental and this owner. Can't wait to return!

Exceptional Place to Stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Highlander Cottage. The view is amazing. This has to be one of the most scenic locations on Lake Superior (or anywhere). We enjoyed regular visits from the local foxes and deer. The trees were teaming with birds during their spring migration. The area is great for hiking or just going for a stroll. And Bonzi was the perfect host who was very welcoming while respecting our privacy. She was very responsive to any inquiries or requests. We can’t say enough good things about this place.

Host profile image
Having grown up in northern Wisconsin on a family resort I guess I have the hospitality business in my blood. I love being able to share Highlander Cottage as it gives others a chance to experience this enchanting area. I have owned property in the Thunder Bay, Mink Mountain area now for 17 years. I fell in love the minute I drove over the mountain and saw the view of the lake....awe struck! I have also grown to love my Canadian neighbors. We have a community here of magnificent, adventurous people who really appreciate Lake Superior and all it has to offer.

My previous property at Mink Mountain- SUNRISE COTTAGE_ was in the Vacation Rental Pool for 3 years. I had a 5 star rating and met some FABULOUS people. I am anticipating more of the same goodness with Highlander Cottage. See you soon!

Why they chose this property

I walked onto this property in the winter and I could not get over the view. Truly unbelievable ! I knew this was the place to build my Highlander Cottage so, a love affair ensued...oh and it's on Lake Superior too !

What makes this property unique

Highlander Cottage is in a rather private area of Mink Mountain so the animals love it here. I have bear, deer, fox, ducks, eagles...on and on....visit me through out the year. So, you never know what you are going to encounter when you look out the windows to the lake or walk out the back door that faces the mountains!!!
