About this house rental
'What a view!' Will be your first words when you enter Highlander Cottage.
Located just 30 minutes from Thunder Bay and a little over an hour from Grand Marais, Minnesota this cottage is the perfect base 'home' for you to explore from and return to each day. NOTE: Canadian guests please use HomeAway.ca for Canadian pricing.
Custom built with granite countertops, hardwood floors and leather furnishings, Highlander cottage, open year around, offers it's guests an arts and crafts style with a little post and beam thrown in. The inspiration for the one floor plus loft 1800 square foot layout was the panoramic view of Lake Superior...none other like it ! I designed the floor plan with an open living room/ kitchen concept incorporating a small cozy reading loft when you want to get away. The bedrooms are designed with privacy in mind. They are at opposite ends of the cottage and each has it's own bathroom with ample ceramic tile showers. For those bath aficionados the master has "ye ole" clawfoot tub.
The living room has a large gas fireplace to keep you warm and cozy while you look through all the windows to the lake. Off the living room is a large covered porch so rain or shine you can be outside enjoying the view while lounging on the patio furniture from Lazy Boy! The second side deck off the kitchen is convenient for grilling on the BBQ . This deck offers a great setting to dine with plenty of seating for a nice group gathering.
The kitchen is fully equipped for those of us who love to cook....and bake! If there is something missing I will make sure you have it! This is a working kitchen designed to minimize steps and enjoy the wonderful view while you are preparing.
The cottage is located in a very private setting. It is a large property offering a camp fire area up by the cottage and a nature trail down to the ledge rock edge of Lake Superior where you can sit and ponder life. With the Mink Mountains literally out your back door one can take the many hiking trails from easy to challenging. One of my favorites is the short walk to Picnic Point where a picnic lunch is a must! During the winter months these trails are wonderful for snow shoes. For those who like breaking trail... X country skiing is the best. Whether it be through the woods or on the lake when frozen over....a challenge is always waiting! Highlander Cottage is a silent sports persons dream destination any time of the year. Whether you are a reader, photographer, artist, writer, silent sports enthusiast, or a tourist that likes to be off the beaten path this is for you. Oh by the way the cottage DOES have WIFI so you will always be ...connected.
RATES: Rates are in U.S. dollars. To get Canadian pricing use VRBO.ca Rates are based on 2 person occupancy. Additional persons are $25 U.S. each per night. NO PARTY GROUPS PLEASE! THANK YOU.

There are never enough good things to say about this paradise. So wonderful and Bonzi’s attention to detail is admirable. This was my second time staying here and there will be many more times to come.

This cottage truly is magical. All the amenities matched the descriptions and Bonzi was quick to answer any questions. This made planning and preparing super easy. We didn’t want for anything during our stay. Well, we did want something… we wanted to stay longer! The nearby hiking trails were the perfect length to walk multiple times so you could see something new each trip. The ledger rock shoreline was easily accessible from the cottage as it was also from the hiking trails. If hiking isn’t your thing, the furniture comfortable inside and out. The back porch is a special place for a quiet morning/evening to enjoy the loons and sound of the waves. The yard even big enough for a picnic blanket (just mind Bonzi’s advice regarding wildlife). We experienced a different lake “character” each day which really rounded out the experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a more sincerely kind host. It is definitely a place you won’t forget and dream of your trip back.

In a word-WOW! This is one of the most beautiful VRBO's I have ever stayed in. There truly is magic as you walk through the door of Highlander Cottage. The majestic view of Lake Superior as it unfolds when crossing the threshold is incredible. And the cottage itself is so thoughtfully crafted and designed. I am in awe of the workmanship and attention to detail. The decor speaks of great love, a little whimsy and appreciation for the beauty of the surrounding nature and love of family. All provide an opportunity to relax/rejuvenate and, for a little while, escape some of the harsher realities and uncertainties of the world around us.Bonzi is an incredible host-a welcoming gift basket & note, great resources for hikes/restaurants/activities in the area, etc. But mostly, her engaging, creative and genuine personality shine and add to the magic of the experience.

Our stay at Highland Cottage was incredible. The home itself is so beautifully crafted. But, what makes this so unique is the warmth, charm, love and appreciation for artistry/nature and heritage throughout. Our time at the cottage was truly magical. Thank you Bonzi.
