Wonderful stay.

Wonderful home to stay at. Nice communication with hosts. Clean, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen. Eloquently decorated. Room for our group of 7 gals. Great deck to enjoy the lake view and eat our meals. Loved watching the hummingbirds and loons. May be a little tough for some to navigate the stone steps down to the lake.

Fantastic stay

Had the most wonderful time with our family at this lakeside cabin. Greatly enjoyed the lake views and using the kayaks and canoe provided by the host as well as the fire pit in the evening. The house is a convenient drive from several attractions such as Duluth canal park and several parks. It is beautifully decorated, has a cozy atmosphere and a well stocked kitchen. Host was very helpful with directions and promptly addressed any issues.

Wonderful home with beautiful view

Wonderful long weekend stay for 2 families with kids. Paddle boat was a hit! Very spacious, nice property with a beautiful deck and view of the lake. Very nice, quiet lake - ideal for kayaking or paddle boating or fishing with kids. Ideal stay, very close to Duluth. We loved it - thank you Lori and Scott!

The house was perfect. It was better than expected, we had everything that we needed. The host was very good with communication. I don’t think we could ask for more. The lake was absolutely gorgeous and we had a great time! I totally recommend and would return.

Best place in every way

We were in the area for a wedding and found this place as an incredible retreat from the hustle/bustle of the events. All the beautiful touches were appreciated. All upscale furniture and the views of the lake were just incredible. Hosts were very helpful with a couple of special requests, couldn't have been more helpful. Wish we had had the time to enjoy the water activities - but we'll be back. We all just loved the space and location.
