Cedar Ridge | Hand-Crafted Cabin w/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. And another rarity: a washer & dryer!

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!

Peaceful Perfection!
The cabin was perfectly cozy and comfortable and made for a wonderful family vacation!!! The cabin was well equipped and very clean. The grounds were were beautifully taken care of and provided us hours of pleasure as we watched the sun rises and sun sets every day over the water. The cabin was very accommodating for our 2 old labs..it was obvious that Erin is a fan of pups because she covered everything that pup owners might need for our furry family members! Erin was a gracious hostess and very attentive. She provided answers to all of our questions in a timely manner and her suggestions for restaurants and activities were spot on. Another memorable family adventure was put into our books--and we have Erin to thank...Thank you Erin!!

Beautiful cabin and property with all the essentials!
My girlfriends and I enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cabin. The cabin is stocked with all the essentials and was clean and roomy. There were 6 of us and we had plenty of room. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch and fire pit, wood and splitter. I will definitely be back someday. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us.

We had an amazing stay! The location was close enough to all the places we wanted to visit and the cabin was quiet, relaxing and had a beautiful view. The kitchen was equipped with anything we needed during our stay and the beds were comfortable. We really loved the screened-in porch for playing games and relaxing after our days out and about! We had one small issue that was resolved with an email and a quick response from the host!

Our new favorite place!
It was an amazing girls weekend staying in a such a beautiful cabin… the property itself was a slice of heaven…but the cabin was gorgeous! We all have kitchen envy, too! Erin was amazing to communicate with and was exceptionally friendly and helpful… we participated in purchasing LOCAL fish, meats, veggies, eggs from Elsewhere Farms at Erin’s recommendation and were very impressed with the quality! The dog friendly aspect of the cabin was wonderful so our furry friends had fun too! Even though it was off season and pretty much everything was closed for the season, we had wonderful walks and campfires and an afternoon out to Elsie Blue and fun store and local bar with amazing staff. Thank you for a great weekend! We will be back!

Relaxing at Lake Superior
We have visited the south shore of Lake Superior every summer for many years. This location was breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. A nice front porch to watch the sun rise over the lake. We heard loons calling and had eagles flying by. We've already booked for next year!
