Photos and Description of the Madeline Island vacation house rental
House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)

Somtara is the name for this vacation rental. Somtara has been judged by many repeat island visitors as the best and nicest place they have stayed on the island. Pictures alone do not do it justice. Please follow the link to our primary website to review guest comments, see more pictures,including interior pictures, and to make your reservations.

Somtara is a true lakehome. It offers direct beach access and is not across the road as some properties are. Also, unlike many island properties, the beach at Somtara is easily accessible. The views and sounds of Lake Superior abound at Somtara. From inside, the views and sounds are wonderful the entire length of this single level, ranch style home. From the family room, the kitchen, the dining room, and the living room, Lake Superior is right out the window. Further, there is a screened porch off the master bedroom and a large deck out front overlooking the lake.

Children are allowed and they love the outdoors, beach, dock and firepit, but the home is rather well appointed and more appropriate for adults. Still, the guest room is setup with two twin beds.

Thanks for sharing your lovely island retreat with us. Very comfortable and love the island breezes.

The fire pit was perfect! And having a wood supply right there - we loved it.!

Thanks again for accomodating our schedule. We will be back!

Very quiet with so many places to choose from for sitting and relaxing. Morning coffee in the bright family room with a view of the lake, get a little sun on the dock, rest on the beach, move up to the deck with a cold drink, when the flies start bugging you you can move onto the screened porch, and at night -when the wind is a little nippy - you can sit in the living room with a nice fire in the fireplace. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Our Alaskan cruise scheduled for this week was canceled due to an illness in the family. This “substitute” vacation was wonderful. The weather was perfect and the house so comfortable and beautiful. We hope to be back in many seasons!
Favorite moments:
• Making smores and a beach fire in the evening
• Morning coffee and yoga on the pier
• Settlers of Catan around the dining table
• Building sand castles on the beach
• Jumping off the cliffs at Big Bay Park
• Watching our son catch a northern pike from a canoe in the lagoon
• Every day, swimming in the clear, cool lake!!

P.S. Love the book selection! Home of a physicist perhaps?

We’ve been coming to the Island for over 20 years now, but this is our first stay at Somtara. Hopefully it won’t be our last!
The house and its location are just perfect. We loved being right on the lake, listening to the sound of the waves and seagulls. And the full moon shining down on the lake a few nights ago was simply divine! What luck to be here to witness that beautiful sight!
Thank you for providing such a wonderful escape.
Best Wishes,

It was our first trip here to the island this summer. It was also our first trip the two of us had ever taken together.
Every moment was breath taking and full of positive energy. The sights, the sounds, the smell from the lake brought us to true moments of inner peace. As we sat by the fire at night and the full moon hung in the air lighting up the night sky and our hearts we came to realize that the feelings we shared for one another were deeper than ever imagined. With the dull roar of Minneapolis far away we seized our chance to fall in love. No better place in the world then sitting on Somtara’s beach, the sky ever so bright, the fire crackling, the water gently splashing against the rocks, and the cool sand between our toes, to say I love you, and know she really felt it too.
