Beauty & Serenity on the Lake at Bark Point Perch!

Location

Herbster, WI, United States

Description

Seeking an escape that offers you beauty, serenity, privacy and yet is convenient enough to all the activities the South Shore has to offer? Look no further than Bark Point Perch!

This two-bedroom, one-bath home is (ahem) perched on the lakefront side of one of the most desirable locations of Lake Superior’s South Shore is this adorable cabin, which perfectly mixes modern style (and conveniences) with the rustic charm that makes this area so authentic.

Interaction

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.

Neighborhood

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 feel like a chore. The guest book contains tips on all the incredible outdoor activities, local arts, and places to get groceries, dine out, grab a drink, etc. This is truly a year-round destination, whether you enjoy outdoor activities, 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 the largest grocery store is in the area). Ashland is about 45 minutes away (which has a natural foods co-op, Wal-Mart, and wider range of shops). Superior & Duluth are an hour and a bit away.

The South Shore

Bayfield is about 35 minutes away, as is Washburn (where the largest grocery store is in the area). Ashland is about 45 minutes away (which has a natural foods co-op, Wal-Mart, and wider range of shops). Superior & Duluth are an hour and a bit away.

Space

The cabin features a spacious open-plan living/dining/kitchen great room with stunning views of the lake. The kitchen has been thoughtfully appointed with everything and anything you need, including a wide range of spices, coffee (we feature coffee beans fresh-roasted just a few miles away), teas, as well as cookware/bakeware galore!

The living area has a crazy-comfy sectional, with the gas-powered “wood” stove as its centerpiece. The dining area will comfortably seat up to 6.

The downstairs bedroom features a queen bed and views of the lake. It connects to the cabin’s bathroom, which is spacious and includes a shower AND tub (so rare up here!).

Upstairs features the loft sleeping area which is configurable - two twin beds that connect together to make a king-size sleeping situation or can be separated if need be. The loft also houses a desk/working area as well as a cozy reading nook. And, if you absolutely have to work, you’ll be delighted at the high-speed wifi that you can access anywhere in the cabin.

A deck wraps around 3/4 of the cabin - perfect for enjoying a meal al fresco or enjoying some wine while watching the sunset.

Bark Point Perch is nestled in nearly 3 acres, which are wooded to either side of the property, making for a great deal of privacy (especially in spring-fall, when the leaves are all out). It’s also tucked away off the main road, enhancing the feeling of “getting away from it all.”

Of course, the most impressive feature of the land is the stunning lakefront views. You’ll have unobstructed views of the lake from the inside and outside. Absolute heaven!

Note: like the vast majority of properties on Lake Superior’s South Shore, there is not direct lake level access. Bark Point is a peninsula that juts out into the lake with nearly all homes sitting above the lake level. Herbster Beach, one of the area’s best, is just down the road from the cabin. And, Herbster serves as a great “jumping off” point to everything the area has to offer: just minutes from some of the best hiking, fishing, and kayaking in the area. And, Bark Point also connects to the county’s ATV and snowmobile trail systems.

Bark Point Perch is the *real* south shore experience: all the attention to detail you’d expect from a high-end Bayfield peninsula rental, but without the stuffiness or lack of character. We want you to kick your shoes off, put your feet up, relax and enjoy the company of friends, family, and your furry four-footed companions.

Transit

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!
