Get ready for the best-appointed spot to which to escape on Lake Superior’s South Shore! Get ready for the best-appointed spot to which to escape on Lake Superior’s South Shore: the South Shore Chalet! This beautiful and well-appointed home nestled in the woods of Bark Point is the perfect home base for your family/group to enjoy all the South Shore has to offer. The property features amenities that are almost unheard of in the area, including a hot tub, magical automatic espresso machine, and even a game room (Skee-Ball, anyone?). Your host runs Bark Point Ventures, a vacation rental management & concierge company that specializes in properties on Lake Superior's South Shore. She lives nearby and is available 24/7 to assist her guests. Our passion is ensuring guests experience the magic of what we feel is one of the most amazing places in the world.The South ShoreThe south shore is truly a place to get away from it all, but not so far from modern conveniences that getting food and gas feel like a chore. The guest book contains tips on all the incredible outdoor activities, local arts, and places to get groceries, dine out, grab a drink, etc. This is truly a year-round destination, whether you enjoy outdoor activities, local cuisine, art, or simply the company of friends & family in one of the most beautiful locations in the northern U.S. The home is just a few minutes from the center of Cornucopia, which has a delightful general store/market, awesome coffee shop, bar/restaurant, and marina. Bayfield is about 35 minutes away, as is Washburn (where the largest grocery store is in the area). Ashland is about 45 minutes away (which has a natural foods co-op, Wal-Mart, and wider range of shops). Superior & Duluth are an hour and a bit away.The South ShoreThe south shore is truly a place to get away from it all, but not so far from modern conveniences that getting food and gas feel like a chore.

Superior & Duluth are an hour and a bit away.We love this property for groups & families, as it has separate living rooms on each level, large kitchen, two full baths, three bedrooms, and even a laundry room! It’s the perfect place in which to rest, recharge, and reconnect with your loved ones (but with more than enough room to get alone time when you need it).The home is nestled into a 3 acre wooded lot, which gives you peace & quiet, but is just a short walk, bike, or car ride to a hidden beach, Bark Bay Slough (for the best kayaking & canoeing around), and Herbster Beach. Detailed OverviewCareful attention to detail is evident from the moment you walk in the front door. Both the home’s owners and the host come from farming families, which means you’ll experience the most warm & welcoming hospitality possible. Enjoy a seat on the handmade bench in the front hall and kick your shoes off, then head on into the great room to relax. The great room provides an open-plan layout for the downstairs living room, dining area, and kitchen. The living room is spacious & airy, with a large comfy couch and two comfy club chairs. The dining table seats 6-8 comfortably. And the kitchen is just plain awesome: fully outfitted with everything you need to cook and bake to your heart’s desire, and even a dishwasher to make clean up a breeze. If you, like us, are an InstantPot fan, you’ll be in luck. You’ll also find every other small appliance you may need.The kitchen’s sliding glass doors open out onto a back deck sitting area, the hot tub, and the large back yard, which has a hammock for lazy days and a fire pit for summer nights. The first floor also has two queen bedrooms, a full bath (with bathtub!), and laundry room.Make your way upstairs to what we think is the jewel of the home: a gorgeous & HUGE additional living room with soaring ceilings, comfy couches, large-screen smart tv, gaming/informal dining table, gas fireplace, and even a desk for working with a view of the woods out back. You’ll also find games for folks of all ages.The upstairs bedroom has a queen bed and twin trundle. Across the hall is another full bathroom.All of the furnishings, mattresses, kitchen items, and decor are crisp & brand-new. And you’ll love all the thoughtful touches like charging stations & cables in every room, cozy throws, comfy bedding, the magical coffee machine (really - no lie, it’s amazing), and accoutrements to make adult, child, and canine guests feel extra welcome. The property’s most unique feature is the awesome game room (or as we like to call it, the “kid cave”). The owners have turned the large heated garage into an all-season game & hangout space. You’ll find comfy furniture, a dining table, and of course, the games: ping pong, Skee-Ball, and foosball. Our apologies if you have to pry the kids out of this room in order to get them to go out and hike. ;-) Due to the lack of public transportation and the distance between towns/amenities, a car is pretty much essential. But, on the plus side, traffic is not a concept we have up here!Cabin & Property AmenitiesFully outfitted kitchenDining seating for 6WifiGas fireplacePet & child-friendly: dogs welcomeShort drive or stroll to Herbster BeachShort drive to Cornucopia beach, Meyers Beach, and the lovely beaches in Port WingPerfect mid point for exploring the south shore communities of Cornucopia, Herbster & Port Wing as well as Bayfield, Washburn, Ashland*Please note that there is an exterior camera that monitors the driveway and front of the garage.
