Wildwood Cottage, Duluth, private wooded retreat on the North Shore

Wildwood Cottage is a newly built, Scandinavian Modern designed, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom retreat, nestled into the woods. There are 80-plus acres of forested state land to the south of the property with a walking trail from the cottage to the Sucker River.

Located 20 minutes from Canal Park and Downtown Duluth, 5 minutes to Stoney Point and Knife River Marina Beach, and 10 minutes to Brighton Beach makes this a fabulous location one mile north of Lake Superior and the North Shore Scenic Drive (Grandma's Marathon route).

The home is all on one level, with easy access on grade, plus all doors are 3 feet wide. The floors are all hand-stenciled, and original artwork by area artists fill the cottage.

One bathroom has a tub/shower combination unit, the second bathroom a good sized shower.

Outdoors has plenty of area for lawn games, plus a fire pit and chairs out front. All firewood and gas grill provided.

The x-long twin beds are very comfy for adults, as well as for children. Board games, blue-ray DVD player and Smart TV with lots of movies, will easily help when you just want to chill out.

The kitchen is fully outfitted with almost anything you would need and your hosts live just 1100 feet away and will easily accommodate anything that you may need.

Nestled In The Woods
We had a great stay at Wildwood Cottage! This is one of the most organized, clean, and well laid out Vrbo properties we have stayed in. The attention to detail was immaculate and the cottage was super cozy. Amy and Rita were great hosts and we can’t wait to stay again!

Amazing experience
This property was private, clean and well prepared! We loved it so much, we were happy to stay there rather than go out! It is quite a way from town and we LOVED it! Best place we’ve stayed so far. Definitely going back again-our hostesses are wonderful!

Awesome stay!
We cannot say enough about our stay at Wildwood Cottage! The cottage was beautiful and everything in order when we arrived. We loved taking the walk down to the river and enjoying the peace and beauty of the area. It was a perfect spot to stay in the middle of all the places we enjoyed visiting. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area!

Fall Family Getaway
Lovely home in the woods, great for a family getaway. Good location - close enough to various attractions if you are looking to get out and about, but also nice for just some quiet down time. This was our second stay at the cottage and we will rebook again in the future. Thank you to the hosts for sharing their cottage.

Tucked into the poplar and pine woods this gem is cozy and spacious. We discovered the nearby river and waterfall, with pools for a swim and a spot to just sit and watch nature. Our hosts were nearby and helpful. This is our third stay.

We had a marvelous time during our stay. The kids loved running around the property, napping on the couch by the big window, and we adored the distance to/from all of the surrounding communities.
