There is nothing more romantic than a charming fishing cabin overlooking Lake Superior - at least if you are a true Minnesotan. This hand-crafted cabin sits high up on a cliff surrounded by stately pine trees with stunning views of Silver Harbor Bay. Tettegouche State Park and Split Rock State Park are your neighbors with more hiking trails, waterfalls, secret fishing spots, kayaking, climbing, and biking than you can possibly fit into one weekend. That's why we recommend coming back year after year. If you love getting cozy by the fireplace as the rest of the state gets buried in snow this cabin is pretty much perfect for that as well. Or, slap on those skis and hit the Northwoods Ski Trail in Silver Bay - then warm up in the custom-built sauna.
