The Weekender

Rendezvous at Silver Islet, meet your friends, take the charter across Superior and stay at the lighthouse!

“The Weekender” offers a three-night, four-day trip to a unique setting on Lake Superior. You can save 50% on the scheduled charter fee by booking a weekender trip. You can rent the historic 1950’s keeper’s dwelling and enjoy panoramic views, walks on the beach, and guided tours. You can also experience the character of a light keeper and enjoy activities such as hiking and sauna. Bookings can be made by providing the Thursday departure date.

The Weekender

Discover the Guest House

Step back in time and enjoy the 1950’s keepers dwelling, complete with wooden floors, gabled sashes and a charming red and white painted exterior. The three bedroom homestead offers basic comfort for up to six guests, including one double bed, two rooms with two single beds, and a cot if necessary. With on-site solar and generator power (occasionally), running cold and filtered water, propane stove and indoor plumbing, you’ll experience a glamping-like atmosphere while staying indoors. For 40 years, families lived and worked here, helping to navigate the waterways and build a nation.
