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.

Wonderful property!
We really enjoyed all the space and the covered outside seating area was amazing. Private outdoor setting with the noise of the creeks running water through the property was very soothing. A rainy day didn't even interrupt our time we had to spend with one another.

Lovely location, lovely house, lovely host.
We had a great time here with 13 adults. We had to share some beds and bring a couple air mattresses but we never felt cramped or out of space. Property and house were both lovely (covered deck was very handy with all the rain!) and host was very communicative. We would definitely rent this property again.

I have been recommending this lodge to any who want a beautiful scenic backdrop with great amenities and close to Duluth! Great hosts, amazing lodge! Can't say enough! I would love to come back with a group of couples in the fall to enjoy the outdoors a bit more and explore more around Duluth! HIGHLY Recommend!

Perfect place for a writing retreat
This property got rave reviews from all the people here for a writing retreat. The bedrooms are cozy, the sitting areas are inviting, and the big dining table allowed us to gather around and talk about writing. Everyone felt inspired! It was easy to make meals and hot tea and coffee to go along with the meals. Wish we didn't have to leave!

Amazing, cozy cabin
We had the perfect little getaway and the property was beyond amazing. Loren was extremely responsive and great to communicate with. You can really tell he takes pride in the property and his guests. We were also extremely impressed by the amount of kid amenities that were provided (baby gates were an amazing addition provided by the family!) and the fun toys for them. Looking forward to staying here in the future!

North Shore Getaway
The house was a perfect size for four families (15 people). It was clean and well stocked and lots of fun extras… High chairs, games, outdoor games, and fire pit… while it felt very private and secluded it was actually an easy drive to so many beautiful hikes, trails, waterfalls, lighthouses, state parks and the list goes on. We would love to return!!!

Ski trip
Our stay was outstanding! The house is even more beautiful than the pictures! We have never stayed in such a perfect VRBO house. Everything was provided to make our stay so memorable. Loren was very helpful and made sure our stay was comfortable. It would be fun to stay there in the spring and enjoy more of the outdoor amenities. Thank you so much for a perfect family gathering!
