Perfect!

This was our second stay at this house. I can’t say enough about it! The property is on a very private and scenic lot, and the views are beautiful. We had tons of fun sliding down the hills and playing in the fresh snow. The house is spacious with plenty of room for our group of ten. It was clean, comfortable and very well appointed. We definitely want to keep going back!

Fantastic Stay!

We brought our families together for a UMD reunion and the house was perfect! We had plenty of space for our group. We loved the location of feeling separate, but yet fairly close to everything. The owners seem to be making enhancements that will make it even better. There was plenty of games, cooking utensils, dishes, etc. Entire process was smooth. We'll be back!

Dog walking trails everywhere!

We absolutely loved our time there. It is peaceful and quiet. The home has great character and it was a lovely home to spend some quality time with our friends and family. The owners did not mind our dog and actually got to meet him and it felt so good to not have to worry about people being too close. We were able to walk our dog without a lease for once on the property.

Family stay

15 of us stayed here. Our family had a great time. Beautiful location - fun exploring and seeing deer from the decks! We were only disappointed that the sauna was not finished for us to use. The host was excellent about responding to our calls and texts. We highly recommend these wonderful accommodations!

Family Vacation

What a great home and location for a family vacation. We enjoyed the deck, the view, the privacy, big kitchen and all of the bedrooms. It was perfect for our extended family to all congregate together in the mornings and evenings and close enough to Duluth and the North Shore to go on fun adventures during the day. Thanks so much.

Perfect location just outside of Duluth

This property was the perfect place to stay for our company fishing trip. The location was remote enough that you didn’t have close neighbors while still being conviently close to town. The house was beautiful and clean with plenty of added amenities. We would absolutely stay here again.

Family fun getaway

Our trip to Duluth was wonderful and the property was perfect for our family of 15 adults and kids. There were great places to gather and be together yet each family had their own space. The outdoor area was beautiful even though the weather prevented us from being outside very much during our stay. Thankfully the indoor space was great.
