How close are you to the lake?
Lake Superior is right out of our backyard. Seagull Bay property runs right unto the Brownstone Trail, and the other side of the trail is the lake.

10-15 minute walk on the Brownstone Trail that is right out our front door. If you choose to take your car to town its about a 1- 2-minute drive.
What other amenities are in the room?
Coffee pot + coffee for all of our guests! Microwave and small refrigerator, so you can take your leftovers from your new favorite restaurant home. Plus, keep your favorite beverages chilled to sip and enjoy the views.
