Smith’s ‘Whose House’ is a lovely hideaway surrounded by old Norway pines over 125’ tall. It is located on the western shore of Madeline Island (2.5 miles from La Pointe, Wisconsin) and provides a wonderful view of Lake Superior and its sunsets. Guests enjoy great swimming and kayaking. The average water temperature in the middle of summer is around 70F. Renters often return and also come for more than one week to enjoy the cottage and all that Madeline Island has to offer.
The cottage has a large, comfortable living room with a big stone fireplace, two bedrooms, a complete kitchen, and a bathroom with shower. The living room is surrounded by windows on three sides and opens onto a large deck that overlooks the lake, which is about 175 feet away.
Beach chairs, kayaks and water toys are kept near the dock and renters can walk along the shore to Grant's Point. The beach is sandy and one can walk in the water well beyond the end of the dock, which is shared with the owners of the cottage. There is a swing seat under the trees next to the beach and a double bench on the end of the dock. Docking of a small boat (22' or less) is available for an additional fee.
There are many things to do on the island and in Bayfield. A few years ago the Chicago Tribune picked Bayfield as the #1 vacation spot in the Midwest! The Madeline Island Ferry makes its 25 minute trip between Bayfield and Madeline Island every 30-60 minutes from early morning to late at night during the summer months.
The island boasts a well-stocked public library with children’s story hours, books, videos, DVD’s, and internet access. The Madeline Island Historical Museum is a must visit for the whole family. There are several restaurants on the island whose food is uniformly excellent. There are also a Robert Trent Jones golf course and a marina nearby.
