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 interior of the home is anchored by the great room that has soaring two-story ceilings, 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.

Right off the great room & dining area is the deck & screen porch which face the lake, giving you incredible views of the ever-changing waters.

The downstairs is rounded out by the main bedroom with en suite bath & a private set of doors out to the screen porch & an office.

Upstairs you’ll find two more bedrooms which share a Jack & Jill bathroom as well as amazing lake views. Our favorite spot in the house is the upstairs lounge - it has two seating areas, game table, and a treadmill (for those of you wanting to stay indoors in the winter yet still get your cardio done).

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 & convenience in mind: cozy throws, over-stuffed throw pillows, comfy furniture in every room, fully-stocked kitchen, and even a beverage cart on the screen porch! We want you to immediately 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 property 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 paid by 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!
