We spent a few days here while celebrating my graduate school graduation. The house is gorgeous and had plenty of space for my family and friends. We plan to book again during the summer!
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!
This property was exactly what we were looking for. It's spacious, provides excellent scenery and is close to a larger city. I would absolutely stay here again!
What a beautiful piece of property! We so enjoyed our stay here. Lovely woodburning fireplace. So much room to explore out of doors. So many king size beds..lots of room to put people. And the
The location and scenery are breathtaking! Had everything we needed to cook all our meals! Loved having a washer and dryer, so no dirty clothes came home with us. Check in and out was easy!
This house was the perfect location for a bachelorette party, there was plenty of space for everyone and looked exactly like the pictures when booking. Can’t recommend this property enough for a large group!
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!
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.
This was the perfect place to stay for a nice get away with friends! Plenty of room with many things to do! The location was perfect and the scenery was beautiful. I would 100% go back!
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.
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.

This home is absolutely gorgeous!!
The pictures don’t do it justice!!
Loved the beautiful water view and all the little details attended to!
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.
We had a great time staying with family and kids. The home is absolutely beautiful and very comfortable. Very close to the beautiful Lester River Park too!
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.
