McNeil's on the Brule

This is a one of a kind opportunity for those who love the outdoors and nature. Walk out the front door and enjoy the famous Brule River in your front yard. A five minute drive down the road brings you to the shores of beautiful Lake Superior and the mouth of the Brule River.

This historic piece of property was homesteaded in 1893 with the current house being built in 1947. This well kept, clean four bedroom home offers three bedrooms upstairs and one on the main floor. The main floor has a quarter size bath with a full bath upstairs.

While all of the beds have a mattress protector and a clean fitted sheet, renters will need to bring their own pillows, sleeping bags, blankets, etc. Towels, washcloths, dishcloths, also, are not provided. Throughout the home are beautiful terrazzo floors... bringing slippers is always a good idea.

You will love the peace and quiet this property has to offer. The soothing sounds of the river will relax you as you sit on the covered front porch and take in the beauty of this secluded setting.

Annual Fishing Trip

I’ve always wanted to stay at McNeils and it did not disappoint. From the massive yard, to the cozy cabin. It lies right on some of the best water on the brule, so fishing is made easy. Truly a memorable trip and unforgettable cabin. It was clean and we had all the amenities we could need. Definitely would stay again!

Beautiful Brule river property

Location is beautiful with the river flowing right there. Front porch was so relaxing to sit outside, minus the thousands of mosquitoes. Having the grass cut would have been nice. Not having a door on the basement was alittle concerning with a 3 year old. We did bring a baby gate to put up, so that helped. And acouple door knobs came off, we think we secured the one to the half bath. Other than that, it's a lovely spot.

6 brother and brother in laws fishing trip

Six brothers and brothers-in-law stayed at the house. The proximity to the water and the secludedness were fantastic. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked. Wifi was strong. The proprietors were very prompt with feedback and accommodating, including a last minute early access request. We loved the house. There was no washer or dryer in the house but if you look at the listing and amenities that's obvious. But I missed it. If there is a knock, it's that the water which has a high iron content as well as a sulfur smell. If you bring lots of water everything will be fine. We would gladly stay here in the future.

An honest assessment both pro and con lo

This is a very well-maintained house and exceptionally clean with newer windows ( which ended up being extremely important). The setting is gorgeous and the porch is a winner. The hosts were extremely responsive in spite of having to change dates. My problems are my problems. I have asthma and anyone staying here should be aware that this is a musty old house. There is no door to the basement and I suspect the odor originates there. It probably didn’t help that the area had experienced record highs just before our arrival. That, coupled with a closed up house with no air circulation, made it a no-go for me. We left after one night. Opening all the windows did not help. Just a reality check here but also the well water smells strongly of rotten eggs. The windows alone must have cost the owners a ton so I was surprised they don’t treat the water. Sone of the furniture is very worn, living room newer and comfy. The kitchen is modestly equipped ( another quibble: for the price per a night I would think the hosts could sanitize the dishes rather than make their next guests do so). I wish past guests had given more considered reviews. Had I read any of these issues I would have found a property more suitable for me. Again, the structure is really sound. No creaking floors or inoperable windows. No mold or water marks. Very clean. The hosts were very nice. And perfectly situated for fishing the Brule
