Lakefront Chicago Bay Hideaway Escape to the "Skipping Stone" cabin on the Chicago Bay of Lake Superior. This historical property is a short walk from the cement Hovland Dock that was built in 1905. This beautiful piece of property was the homestead chosen by the first settlers here in 1888. The first settlers then named Hovland after their home village in Norway; they ran a hotel and store here for those arriving to the North Shore by ship. Imagining the history that happened here while staying in this rustic little cabin is magical. It is a perfect home base for your Northwoods adventures. There is nothing better than sleeping and eating steps from the majestic great lake.
