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!

We loved the house and were pleased with all of the facilities. We especially appreciated the tables and benches on the deck. We spent the majority of our time outside, which is a special treat during September in Duluth!

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.

First family vacation
We loved the location, the space was great and the house was well supplied with what we needed. We didn’t use the bedroom by the entryway on the main level because it didn’t have a window. Hopefully a bathroom will be added to the basement. There were areas that were missed getting cleaned. Our family vacation was amazing. We have a wonderful time and our pets had so much room.

Company Meeting
We had a great experience for our company training. The accommodations were nice and the location was perfect. We loved the fireplace. The downsides, the dishwasher was really gross, we did not want to wash our own dishes in it - we handwashed everything, bathroom caulking was black and peeling and it would have been nice to have extra scrubbers in the kitchen. There was only one smoke detector that we could find, which is unsettling when we had a fire in the fireplace. Oh also, the Blackstone grill would have been amazing to use! It was really gross (it looks like the last people who used it, did not clean it off at all) and it was rusty too, just sadly not cared for which is a shame we were excited to use it. We'd come back again but we'd bring our own pans, fire detectors and scrubbers from home.

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 Get-Away
My family loved this place. It was close enough for trips to the Duluth Aquarium, Canal Park and Russ Kendall's for smoked fish. It was far enough outside of town to have beaver and ducks on the pond and deer in the field across the road. Lots of room to have quiet time and family time inside and outside.

It was a great place. Very clean. Secluded enough but also close to the city if you forget something. The only downer for us was the oven is little tricky to turn on and i texted the number that was given to me for help but did not get a respond.
