Liten Hus On Superior.
Is a Nordic retreat on the shores on Lake Superior - outdoor spa, local farm-to-table, and wild adventure, woven into the rhythm of the North Shore. Perfectly located between Grand Marais, Minnesota & Thunder Bay Ontario just across the Minnesota-Canadian border along The Legendary Circle Tour (Hwy 61). Private enough to feel like a true escape. Close enough to everything you might want or need.
Liten Hus on Superior sits directly on the shoreline of Lake Superior - the world's largest freshwater lake. There is nothing like hearing the waves crash along the shore from inside your own living room, or watching the lake shift from black to silver to gold before you've finished your first cup of coffee. Experience the magic of The Great Gitche Gumee at this premier, private Lake Superior waterfront cottage backed by a Top 1% VRBO Host with hundreds of 5-star reviews.
Liten Hus. Lots of Hygge.
A fully updated one-level waterfront home sitting directly on the shoreline of Lake Superior. Private, intimate, and lots of "hygge" (the Scandinavian word for coziness). Built for two - with room for four.
Two Private Bedrooms Tucked Away From The World.
Both bedrooms are set apart from the main living areas for true privacy and quiet. Each features heated mattresses for the cooler months, dedicated smart TVs, ceiling fans, full closets, reading lamps, and dressers. The full bathroom offers excellent water pressure, plenty of hot water, and a shower/tub combo - stocked with high-quality towels, premium body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and hot tub towels.
Chef's Kitchen.
Fully equipped with premium LG stainless steel appliances, microwave, convection oven with built in air fryer, dishwasher, and filtered drinking water. Everything you need to cook a proper meal is there. Stock up at the local markets and bring the North Shore home and then cook like you mean it.
Dining on the Edge of the World.
The dining area elevates every meal into a memorable event. Talk about dining with a view! The table is perfectly positioned over the water, allowing you to share meals, coffee, and deep conversation against the backdrop of the world's greatest lake. Whether you are watching the sun break across the glassy morning surface or enjoying a candlelit dinner as twilight falls, the rhythmic, calming presence of the lake sets a slow, unhurried pace for your stay.
The Living Area.
Is artfully designed to cradle you in complete stillness. Here, you are invited to curl up on the plush sofa, wrapped tight in a soft blanket or cozy wrap, with your eyes drifting between the cinematic horizon and the screen. The layout ensures you never have to choose: you can lose yourself in the shifting colors of the water or seamlessly switch on a favorite movie on the large Samsung TV, complete with unlimited free streaming on Netflix and Amazon Prime. At the heart of the room, a propane-fueled fireplace comes to life at the touch of a switch, radiating a gentle amber glow that fills the entire space with pure, undeniable hygge.
Your Private Thermal Oasis.
Just outside, the experience extends onto the deck. Tucked away is a secluded, private outdoor nook—a secret sanctuary designed for quiet reflection in the crisp lake air. Beside it, the hot tub commands the most fabulous, front-row views of the water. Step effortlessly from the fireside warmth of the sofa into the steaming, restorative waters of the spa, where you can soak under a canopy of stars while the waves crash softly below. It is a place designed to soothe the soul, slow down time, and let you truly unwind.
The Ultimate Outdoor Oasis.
Stepping outside, you enter a sprawling, beautifully illuminated sanctuary designed to celebrate unobstructed, front-row views of Lake Superior, the largest freshwater lake on Earth. This expansive waterfront property unfolds across a series of layers, seamlessly guiding you from elevated to the water’s edge.
•Upper Deck & Hot Tub: The journey begins on the main multi-tiered deck, home to a secluded outdoor nook perfect for morning coffee. Nestled here is the sunken hot tub, positioned to offer the most fabulous, steaming vantage point to watch the sunrise or count the stars.
•The Sprawling Lakeside Yard: Directly below the hot tub level, the property opens into a vast, manicured lawn stretching out toward the shoreline. With the lake commanding the horizon directly in front of you, this massive green space provides an incredible sense of privacy, grand scale, and quiet majesty.
•The Meandering Path & Fireside Pit: A gentle, winding path meanders through the lakeside grounds, softly lit by ambient outdoor lighting. It guides you effortlessly down the slope to a private shoreline fire pit, where you can gather around the flames and listen to the rhythmic lull of the waves crashing against the rocks.
•The Overhanging Lower Deck: A guest favorite that literally hangs over the edge of Lake Superior. Stepping onto this platform feels like walking on water, offering a breathtaking, 360-degree panoramic view of the world’s greatest lake.
The Hiking Trails.
You don't need to drive anywhere to experience the best of the North Shore. Step right out the back door to discover beautifully groomed private hiking trails winding above & around the property. Elevated viewpoints, sweeping, panoramic vistas and unique geography. Take in views of the rugged shorelines, hidden inlets, and islands not seen from the Minnesota side.
Exceptional Producers Just Minutes Away.
Thunder Oak Cheese Farm: Crafting award-winning Gouda in the Dutch tradition. Slate River Dairy: Small batch, farm-fresh cream, milk and cultured products made with the care and simplicity that only a family operation can offer. Bakeshop On Boundary: A farmhouse bakery producing exceptional breads, pastries, and seasonal baked goods.
Local Convenience.
