Cedar Ridge | Hand-Crafted Cabin with Lake Views

This newly built cabin will take your breath away. You’ll find the perfect blend of Northwoods rustic charm and creature comforts in this 3 bdrm cabin nestled in the woods overlooking Lake Superior’s Bark Bay. You’ll fall in love with all the care & attention its owners have put into every detail. From the stunning cedar beams that provide the backdrop to the incredible lake views to the hand-crafted interior woodwork and the beautiful kitchen, you will see how unique and special this cabin is.

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 Shore is truly a place to get away from it all, but not so far from modern conveniences that getting food and gas feels like a chore. The guest book contains tips on all the incredible outdoor activities around here, as well as local arts, plus places to get groceries, dine out, grab a drink, etc. This is truly a year-round destination, whether you enjoy outdoor adventure, 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 you’ll find the largest grocery store in the area). Ashland is about 45 minutes away, with a natural foods co-op, Wal-Mart, and a wider range of shops). Superior & Duluth are an hour and a bit away.

The first thing you'll notice upon making your way to the cabin is how secluded it feels. The winding driveway down to the cabin takes you through the woods of Bark Point in Herbster. You'll feel your stress melting away as you leave your "real" life concerns behind. The cabin sits on nearly 3.5 acres on Bark Point. Much of the land is wooded, which gives you privacy and quiet. The edge of the property offers expansive Lake Superior views along its ridgeline over the lake.

The cabin itself is 100% designed and built by the home's owners. We don't like to play favorites with the properties we manage, but we will confess this is one near & dear to our hearts. The exterior architecture fits perfectly into the natural setting, including the main feature of the structure: an absolutely stunning set of cedar beams which frame the views out to the lake & woods from the cabin & its back patio/porch.

Once you enter the cabin, you'll see the thoughtful design and attention to detail continue. The front door opens into the cabin's great room, which has an open plan living, dining & kitchen area with soaring ceilings. And then there are the floor-to-ceiling windows which offer stunning views of the woods & lake. The living area has a comfy sectional sofa, relaxed lounging chair, Smart TV (and DVD player), and even a combo stereo/record player/bluetooth speaker. Dining chairs for six are arranged around the huge kitchen island. And then there is that kitchen: you'll want to take it home with you! You'll find everything you need to cook to your heart's desire: all brand-new appliances (including a gas stove/oven and the rarity of a dishwasher), wide range of small appliances, and fully equipped cooking & baking gear. Even the dishes & mugs show the same charm and attention to detail!

The lower level also houses the main bedroom, which has a California king bed, and the bathroom. The bathroom has a huge walk-in shower with a large rain shower head.

Upstairs are the other two bedrooms: one with two twin beds, and the second with a queen bed.

However, we suspect you'll make the most of the shared living areas and the great outdoors! The cabin looks out onto the back patio that wraps around the cabin (this fall the owner plans to screen in a good portion of this area). The patio has a gas grill and stone steps that take you a short distance down to the sitting area around the fire pit. S'mores anyone?

A trail leads you from the patio through the woods and along the lakeshore ridge. The owner has cleared a lovely little area where you can sit and look out at the lake, enjoy the amazing sunrises, and listen to the waves (and little else other than the occasional eagle's cry and fishing boat).

Cedar Ridge is truly an exceptional experience for those who want to escape to the Northwoods, but sacrifice none of the comforts of home.



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!
