Incredible Custom Log Home w/Lake Views for Days | House in Herbster
3 Bedroom House in Wisconsin, Herbster
At the end of Bark Point you'll find the start of your amazing vacation on Lake Superior! This custom-built log home is the perfect home base for an unforgettable escape to the South Shore. The property features incredible views of the lake, spectacular spaces for your group to gather & relax, a gourmet kitchen, screen porch (and deck) facing the lake, and more - all on a nearly three-acre parcel set far off the road, giving you privacy & serenity.
Your host runs Bark Point Ventures, a vacation rental management & concierge company that specializes in properties on Lake Superior's South Shore. We're nearby and we're always available to assist our guests. Our passion is ensuring guests experience the magic of the South Shore--what we feel is one of the most amazing places in the world.
Bark Point Lodge is on the very tip of Bark Point, a spit of land that extends several miles out into Lake Superior. There's a boat landing nearby where you can check out the bay behind the point, and you're also just a few minutes from the beautiful estuary at the head of the bay. To get your feet wet in the open water of Lake Superior there’s no better spot than Herbster Beach, which is just a few minutes down the road.
The other South Shore towns, Port Wing to the west and Cornucopia to the east, are both close by, both with their own beaches. Port Wing has an awesome coffee shop that roasts its own beans (we stock them in the lodge) and a great little convenience store with a fish counter. Cornucopia (or ‘Corny' as the locals call it) has an excellent coffee shop, a general store, and a few restaurants and shops. It can be a little more crowded, but it's got a few more amenities, too. Bayfield is close by, too, about 45 minutes’ drive: perfect to check out the attractions over there then return to your South Shore oasis for another Superior sunset. Ashland, where you’ll find more stores and amenities, is just under an hour away. Duluth and Superior are about and hour and a quarter to the west.
The interior of the home is anchored by the great room, with soaring two-story ceilings, a wood fireplace, ample comfy seating, and our favorite feature: Teddy, the bison. The great room flows right into the open-plan kitchen & dining room. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with gas stove, huge kitchen island (with its own prep sink), tons of counter & cabinet space, and all the equipment you need to feed the whole gang. The dining nook is surrounded by windows, so you'll have the lake as a spectacular backdrop for all of your meals.
From the first floor common areas you can walk right out onto the deck or onto the screen porch. The deck and porch are both large enough for your whole group, and they face the shore for close-up views of sunrise and sunset on the Big Water. The deck also has a table and a set of chairs for outdoor dining, and a grill for outdoor cooking--all with that spectacular view in the background.
The downstairs is rounded out by the main bedroom with en suite bath and a private set of doors out to the screen porch. And if you need to get some work done, there's a beautiful office space with its own view out to the trees. You'll also find a half bath off the common areas.
Upstairs, you’ll find two more bedrooms which share a Jack and Jill bathroom. Both bedrooms have spectacular views of the lake: since you're a bit higher up, you can see farther out, often all the way to the North Shore in Minnesota. Our favorite spot in the house is the upstairs lounge: it has a daybed, a reading nook, and a treadmill, for workouts in rainy (or snowy) weather.
Bark Point Lodge is the perfect spot for a romantic get-away or an extended family gathering. The entire home is furnished with your comfort and convenience in mind: comfy furniture in every room, cozy throws, over-stuffed throw pillows, fully-stocked kitchen, and even a beverage cart that's ready to roll wherever you need it!! We want you to forget about the realities of day-to-day life the minute you drive onto the property, and enjoy the comfort, beauty, and peace this very special place has to offer.
The exterior of the home features a spacious yard for outdoor games, lounging, or just sitting on the deck and enjoying a favorite beverage while enjoying the amazing views and lake breezes. And if you’re lucky, you’ll have a visit from the eagles who live nearby!
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!
