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.
