The house was very clean. Property owners were very fast at responding to any needs. Hot tub was perfect for cold nights and tub was perfect right before bed time. Dogs had plenty of space to run and explore. Smokeless fire pit was a great addition for the cold nights. We definitely will be back again with the kids. Thank you again. Also, candles were such a great addition to the house!

We had a terrific time at Westin's rental on Chub Lake and hope to return next time we are looking for a get-away near Duluth. The house was easy to find and check-in was simple. It was very clean and inviting as soon as we arrived. The design was modern, spacious, and open, excellent for families who have older kids as we do. The kitchen was very well stocked and had everything we needed. The second floor deck with view of the lake is amazing. Lake toys (paddle boards and kayaks) were in the garage, clean and in excellent condition. We soaked up lots of swimming and relaxing at this amazing rental. Be aware that there are quite a few stairs (even to get into the house), so it might not be a great fit for everyone from that perspective. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

Gorgeous Property

This home and property are absolutely stunning, it was perfect for a small intimate birthday celebration with family. The host was easy to get in contact with and provided everything that was needed, including water and food bowls if you are bringing a furry friend. The pontoon rental was a big plus where we enjoyed life on the lake even though it was windy and cloudy. Our dogs enjoyed the property almost as much as we need and we are grateful this gorgeous property allows dogs. 10/10 would recommend and will be back in the future.

Exceeded our expectations in every way

Comfort and cleanliness are typically a problem for us because our standards are so high, but this property has exceptionally comfortable beds, and is new and spotless throughout. The property manager thought of every aspect of our comfort. The kitchen was fully stocked, down to cold water bottles in the fridge. Abundance of towels was available in both bathrooms. The three bedrooms were beautiful, clean, and inviting— with the highest quality memory foam mattresses, and good quality pillows. Fans on the ceiling kept the rooms ventilated. Nets on the windows let the breeze in without bugs. The panoramic Lake views were breathtaking! The stairway down to the lake and the floating bench turned the sunrise into a meditative experience. The Jacuzzi was spotless and a wonderful addition to our fun. We also loved the modern bathtub upstairs. We loved stargazing from bed through the huge windows overlooking the lake. In every way, this property was a treat, and we hope to return again.

Quiet Place

Came here and looking for a peaceful place away from the city and this place didn’t disappoint. large home but very cozy. Wanted to spend a little bit more time outside, but luckily there was a storm with horrible winds and couldn’t stay outside for long. But made the best of it Inside watching movies, snacking having a couple drinks and relaxing. The only thing missing is at least having one TV in a room.

Great weekend getaway!

We celebrated a 50th birthday with friends this weekend, and we had the best time! Beautiful setting by the lake, and the hot tub was a relaxing retreat in the evening. Kayaking in the lake was a fun activity too! The house was beautiful and well stocked with everything we needed!

Great stay.

We were there for just a couple days. It was close to Duluth and the north shore so that’s why we picked it. We should have brought some fishing gear as we did see fish jumping.

Great Stay

Home was amazing with fantastic views from all bedrooms and so many areas of the house. Bedrooms were spacious, nicely decorated and beds/pillows very comfortable! There was even a sleeper sofa on the second level and a huge sectional with foos ball and a large TV in the basement. The kitchen and living area was beautiful with all the amenities such as air fryer, keurig, toaster oven, bar set with martini shaker, muddlers, etc and we loved having 2 sinks in the kitchen! The kitchen table comfortably sat 6, although we did squeeze in a 7th and there is also extra seating at the island. The living room furniture was very comfortable, decks gorgeous with a fire table and tables with umbrellas and chairs. There were kayaks for use in the garage along with extra outdoor chairs and a bean bag game. The hot tub was very relaxing also! Lake views were amazing and two bald eagles frequently fly over and perch on the tree next door!! Westin was very attentive and responsive to questions & was seeking feedback on how to make the home & amenities even better. If you are someone who struggles with stairs this may not be the place for you, as there are quite a few to gain entry, but we will definitely stay again! There is a bedroom on the main level and you can walk up the hill from the side of the house and then only have 1 or 2 steps in from the side facing the lake if need be😉
