Escape to Porphyry Lighthouse: Your Ultimate Weekend Adventure!
Imagine this: You and your friends meet at Silver Islet, hop on a charter boat across the sparkling waters of Black Bay, and arrive at a historic lighthouse perched on the shores of Lake Superior. Welcome to “The Weekender”—a one-of-a-kind, three-night, four-day getaway that combines adventure, history, and breathtaking natural beauty. And here’s the best part: when you book this trip, you can save 50% on the charter by taking the Thursday & Sunday scheduled charters!
Your Stay at the Lighthouse
Step back in time and settle into the 1950s keeper’s dwelling, a charming red-and-white retreat with wooden floors, gabled windows, and panoramic views of Lake Superior. This cozy three-bedroom home comfortably accommodates up to six guests, featuring one double bed, two rooms with single beds, and even a cot if needed.
While the setting is historic, your stay will be comfortable and memorable. The house is equipped with:
Solar and generator power (off grid)
Running Water
Filtered Water
A propane stove for cooking

It’s the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort—think glamping, but indoors!

Now, it’s your turn to create unforgettable memories in this unique setting and you can do this simply by looking out the window.
