Two 12’ x 12’ bedrooms in the back have lake and woods views. The 38’ x 25’ great room has views on all three sides. A large u-shaped couch allows everyone to watch the lake in comfort.

The location is convenient with a good supermarket 3 miles away in Two Harbors and Betty's pies within walking distance. ATV and Snowmobile trails are within a mile. The Superior Hiking Trail is close, too. Essy access to the water makes kayaking and cannoeing convenient. It's easy to find adventures all around this location.

There is lots of wildlife to be seen on this property. Eagles are regularly sitting in the top of the pines overlooking the lake. Deer frequently go through the property and a grouse or two have been known to hang around. You won’t have a lack of things to look at.

The wife and I spent our 23 year anniversary at this place. Very close to lots of cool things the North Shore has to offer. You can be in Two Harbors (Tipsy mosquito is cool) in a matter of minutes and you can be in State Parks in a matter of minutes as well. You can literally walk to Betty’s pies and we even took a journey all the way up to Grand Marais (Angry Trout is outstanding)approximately an hour and a half. The evenings were incredibly quiet and the views of the lake as usual are always breathtaking. I can’t think of much that the house did not have that we found we needed, but didn’t accommodate- I think this home would be really nice in the winter time as well!

We really enjoyed this place! It’s so awesome to have the lake right in the backyard. Hard to beat having your own private beach, which is what I assume makes this a more expensive listing. Knowing it was something we can’t afford to do often, we took advantage with dips in the water every morning and campfires every evening. The water isn’t super easy to enter if you are older or younger, but it feels great! There’s plenty of firewood for the campfire and towels. The kitchen has a lot also, but no dishwasher and the coffee maker is a keurig. Luckily we brought our French press. Location is pretty great, with it being easy drives to two harbors, gooseberry falls, split rock, and tettegouche.

This cottage is an absolute gem! It’s comfortable, with lots of space to spread out and so many thoughtful, homey touches. The location is ideal — close to town, yet plenty of privacy and incredible views. It was very clean, everything in good condition, and great communication with our host whenever we needed it. Hope to be back!

Simply the Best

My wife and I recently celebrated our 53rd wedding anniversary at Shelf Point cottage. The property is a modernized cabin with a huge great room/kitchen/dining area with two large bedrooms on the end. The great room offers 180 degrees of windowed views of the lake. The cabin was spotlessly, clean. The kitchen has a gas range, All utensils, cookware, and table service are provided. We loved the closeness of the lake, the variety of seating options, and the large firepit. Having rented 60-70 VRBO properties over the years we both agreed that this one for us was one of the best and by far the very best of any we have rented on the Great Lakes. We appreciated the owners kind attentiveness and hope to return soon for a longer stay.
Wind, waves, water -peace.

Great property and beautiful view of the Lake. Plenty of room to spread out and nice amenities.Our host was terrific and responded quickly to any questions we had.The only negative was that there is only one bathroom and it is on the small size. For our family, it was inconvenient.Still fantastic in every other way.

2nd visit even better

We had a great time enjoying the north shore this weekend. The lake, the fall colors, and the little towns. This place is a great home base and launch pad for all the things to do in this area. It was our 2nd visit to this property, and we enjoyed it even more than the first.

Perfect getaway!

This property has a ton going for it. Great Lake views and perfect firepit. We spent hours watching the water, stars and fire. The cabin is comfortable and charming in all the ways a lake getaway should be: it’s also close to great hiking and local restaurants. My wife loved everything about it! There is some road noise, most of it is over shadowed by the crashing waves and the sound of the wind in the trees. Highly recommend!

Nice cabin 30 yards off the lake shore with great views. Everything as described and worked fine. Not the most luxurious place, rustic kitchen plates/pans, bathroom - so more a cabin than a home. But again, as described and was fine.

Peaceful and Cozy Stay

It ended up being a cold and rainy weekend, but it was a super cozy and relaxing setting to enjoy the fall season anyway! Loved having the wood burning stove, and the wonderful view! This was our second stay here, and I suspect it won't be our last! :)

Fabulous Lake Superior Cabin

This is the nicest 2 bedroom cabin. It is cuter & larger than the photos. This is true lake access property with a fabulous view & breeze. Just north of the cute town of Two Harbors. Loved sitting on the lake. You can swim right off the property. Temperatures were hot in town but cool in the cabin & outside here from the lake breeze. We had a delightful time!

Enjoyed this private quiet shoreline cabin getaway

We were busy by day enjoying the North Shore and enjoyed time at this cabin in the evenings, just watching the water and sitting on the bench or in the "egg chair" enjoying the peaceful view and woods around. Fans in both bedrooms helped us all sleep better and there were dishes and towels and clean amenities for use.

We really enjoyed looking out over the lake as much as we could. Loved sitting down on the rocks by the lake and viewing nature at its best. We used the screened in gazebo each night to avoid the bugs. The cabin was very clean and spacious. The kitchen had just about everything we needed to cook breakfast and supper. It was nice to have the bedlinens and towels provided. The only real draw back was the inability to have a campfire by the lake at night. Also would prefer a Weber charcoal grill versus the gas grill. Definitely would recommend to others for a stay on the North Shore.
