About the Home

Designed by Laura.
Built for everyone.

Laura remodeled and redesigned this home over eight months, with every detail considered, from the Scandinavian-influenced interiors to the 800 square foot heated game room. On the North Shore, the weather can change fast. A sunny morning on the trails can turn into an afternoon of rain or a surprise snowstorm, and the game room makes sure that never ruins a trip. It keeps guests of all ages happy and the energy going no matter what the lake decides to do.

The home sits on a private two-acre lot with sweeping Lake Superior views from multiple vantage points. Behind you, the Superior National Forest stretches for thousands of acres, giving the property an unparalleled sense of quiet and wildness.

Perfect for three couples, two or three families, or a group of friends — three en-suite bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, and a game room that rivals most rec centers make it easy for everyone to spread out and feel at home.
