North Shore Timber Home ~ Minutes To Town ~ Many Acres of Privacy!

Just 3 miles from City of Duluth, 3/4 mile from Lake Superior, near many rivers, & sight seeing areas along the North Shore. Perfect for your family get togethers. Very family friendly! Over the river and through the woods...

Appreciate all the comfortable features and relax and enjoy close proximity to the North Shore & its sightseeing and yet only a few minutes from the City of Duluth! You will appreciate the rustic natural wood timbers, stone/tile & the heart of an authentic log cabin. The living room has a Danish wood burning soapstone fireplace. The formal dining room has 2 tables that will seat up to 12 people with the option of heated tiled floor. The main floor also has a bedroom and hand crafted stone tiled bathroom.

All 3 levels each have a bath & bedroom(s). Master bedroom offers a queen bed and a guest bedroom suite which also has a queen size bed (accessed w/french doors from master bedroom). The lower level walkout has 3 bedrooms (2 queens & a king). The exterior features a large covered deck with grill and tables for dining and looks out onto the private property surrounded by trees.

The property has a gentle slope & children enjoy sledding in the winter. You may see deer on the property or evidence of them frolicking in the yard while you were out skiing or sightseeing.

The property is not located on Lake Superior, but is less than a mile from the McQuade Safe Harbor/Boat launch on Lake Superior.

High speed internet!

**This property is not handicapped accessible. And there are many steps that lead up to the house from the parking area.

Cozy haven in the woods
The entire stay was a dream and the cabin was so amazing and more beautiful than we expected. The cleanliness was top notch and we appreciated all of the extra linens available. When we arrived all the lights were turned on making it feel like we were arriving at home. The host was really communicative and made extra sure everything was perfect.

Labor Day Weekend Stay
A very roomy & comfortable VRBO. Tucked away in the woods, it is very private, yet still close to many sites to see in Duluth & up the North Shore. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect group housing
We had an amazing stay at Timber Home! The photos don't do the place justice -- it was very clean and fit all of our group (10 people) perfectly. We had dinners on the porch and really appreciated the various supplies (baking dishes/cooking utensils) that ensured we had everything we needed for cooking/baking. The yard was a great spot for a picnic and we saw the northern lights our first night. Additionally, the location was perfect for accessing Duluth but allowing us some privacy. Would stay here again!

Fantastic home and stellar host!
This is such a beautiful property! The log home is so pretty and cozy. Very well appointed kitchen, and this is from cooks/foodies. We brought a lot of our own cookware/implements, but wouldn't have needed them at all! Impressive. The bathrooms where very nice (do you love deep clawfoot tubs?) this is the place for you! The outdoor space was amazing with tons of seating space and very nice griddle top grill. We stayed right before Xmas and would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the outdoor porch! Definitely would stay again. Highly recommend! Oh, and the host went out of his way to mail us something we left behind which was extremely appreciated!

Together time
Perfect north shore feel! Nice space to visit...amazing deck! Was very well stocked for anything we could need and more. Beds were so comfortable. The motion lights on the stable concrete walk/steps to the house were very nice. That walk gave the place an even more secluded private feel.
