Haeli House Luxury Home on Lake Superior Come home to Haeli House, a stunning luxury retreat located along the shores of Lake Superior in Hovland, Minnesota. In Icelandic, Haeli means “refuge”—an especially fitting name for a home designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and escape the everyday. Haeli House was architecturally designed to rest among boulders, trees, and a wild rocky shoreline, organically adapting to its surroundings. The architecture draws inspiration from Scandinavian design and the artisan woodworking traditions that have long been part of Minnesota’s North Shore culture, creating a home that is warm, understated, and beautifully connected to its surroundings. At the heart of the property is a custom Scandinavian sauna, tucked among the Boreal forest and designed around a dramatic picture window overlooking Lake Superior. Heat up in the sauna, then step outside for a rejuvenating cold plunge into the Big Lake just steps away. It’s a quintessential North Shore experience—equal parts invigorating and restorative. Haeli House features a beautiful open-concept layout. Relax in the sunken living room, step right out onto the lake-facing deck, or gather for a home-cooked meal at the large central dining table. With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, there is plenty of room for the whole family to settle in. Outside, fire up the grill, relax in the Adirondack chairs, and listen to the waves roll against the rocky shoreline. Whether you're spending your days exploring the North Shore or simply staying put and soaking in the scenery, Haeli House makes it easy to embrace the slower pace of life. Important Booking Information — Steep Driveway Haeli House is accessed by a very steep, unpaved driveway. A 4WD or AWD vehicle is highly recommended in winter and strongly encouraged year-round, especially in wet or muddy conditions. Security Cameras There are two outward-facing outdoor security cameras, one at the front porch and one at the garage.
