About this property

Secluded Hideaway with Private Dock!

Welcome to Whispering Pines on Lake Superior, our family's chosen name for this paradise on the lake!

You'll experience true relaxation in this gorgeous contemporary featuring 4+ acres of wooded privacy, 393 feet of Lake Superior shoreline, and a huge 60' x 60' L-shaped dock! Spend hours of uninterrupted time on one of three benches situated at various points along the bluff, all providing stunning views of the lake and at least five of the Apostle Islands. Or hike down the 76 steps to the water level and soak in the sun on our dock.

The home is a spectacular four bedroom, four full bath contemporary with Scandinavian styling, and was formerly operated as a Bed & Breakfast. The huge open family room and dining area boasts an 18-foot high custom ceiling beam, a massive glass wall overlooking the lake, maple floors, skylights, and a loft floored with Wisconsin knotty pine. Spiral staircases are the finishing touch that make this home a one-of-a-kind architectural masterpiece.

The main kitchen is well-equipped, with a new refrigerator and microwave, a gas island range, dishwasher, both Keurig and standard coffee makers, and endless cabinets!

All four bedrooms have amazing lake views, and each bedroom has its own full bathroom with shower. The fourth bedroom is a large suite with its own full kitchenette, living area, and loft bedroom - perfect for grandparents who want a little added privacy! The suite also has a murphy bed on the ground floor.

Step outside and you're surrounded by old-growth forest and wildlife. Bald eagles nest nearby, and the deer and songbirds are plentiful. The property has even been visited by an occasional bear and bobcat! The large deck includes a gas grill and generous 8-seat table overlooking the big lake and Basswood Island.

Within ten short minutes, you're in the center of Bayfield, a town honored by national publications for its restaurants, marina, shopping, entertainment, and overall charm. Go on a glass-bottom boat tour and visit nearby shipwrecks, visit the sea caves by kayak, take the ferry to Madeline Island, or experience one of Bayfield's many events such as the famous Apple Festival in October. You won't run out of fun things to do!

Note: Whispering Pines is suitable for children aged 10 and up. Sorry, but we are unable to accommodate pets.

Friends weekend
Whispering Pines was a gorgeous place. We all enjoyed it. Very well maintained and a beautiful location. Close enough to town yet far enough away to give us lots of privacy.

Couples Bayfield getaway.
This home is the perfect place to call home base for a group of adults when visiting the Bayfield area. With each bedroom having its own private bath and a great common area, large beautiful outdoor fire table and incredible dock with plenty of chairs, everyone in our group loved it. The views of the Apostle Islands are incredible. We plan to stay here again someday with either our adult children or friends. We loved it!

About the host

Hosted by Keith and Karen

Host profile image
Ever since we moved to Minnesota from the east coast in 2002, we have been drawn to Lake Superior. There is simply no other lake like it. Our family loves to visit Duluth and the North Shore of Minnesota, which led us to search for lakefront property. We soon found Bayfield, and the rest is history.

Why they chose this property

This home was the "Thimbleberry Inn" Bed and Breakfast for over 20 years. The owners designed and built the house, incorporating unique and eye-catching features, not to mention the obvious care and attention to detail that has been poured into the home over the years.
