I'm not sure words can express the wonderful experience we had on our stay. Roxy is a "Rock Star" in hosting! Anything we needed or had questions on she was very prompt in communication and accommodating. Picture DO NOT justify just how beautiful this property is. It was a wonderful vacation spot to celebrate my wife's 50th birthday with the family. We will definitely be back! P.S. Take them up on the Pontoon rental. It ads to the experience to be out on the lake.

This was a fantastic rental property for a week near Duluth and the MN North Shore. After a summer full of kids' activities, we were looking for a beautiful place to unwind and this was the perfect place. The house is very well-kept and had everything we needed to be there for the week. The outdoor spaces were incredible and family favorite. They were many to choose from and all were comfortable with beautiful scenery at every turn. We feel lucky to have found this gem and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Amazing property and great experience overall! Roxie and Kelly are exceptional hosts and we cannot recommend them enough. The house has everything you could need, is exceptionally clean and well equipped for a family vacation. Check in was easy and everything was ready for us when we arrived, the kitchen and the rest of the house is fully equipped even if you forget something, you don’t have to worry as it will most likely be available for you to use from plates to coffee, it’s all there.

Hospitality Made for a Quality Stay

Spot on description of the property and yet we felt the pictures didn’t give it full credit. Clean, clean, clean. Welcoming. Great pontoon. Super-well managed property and the bugs are kept in check. Comfortable furnishings and a safe area. Could not be happier and the proximity to Duluth makes it a real gem.

I definitely would recommend staying at this beautiful lake cabin! Owners are friendly, the house and property are clean! Has many amenities for any type of fun. The kids’ favorite part was fishing on the private lake. For mom and dad it was sitting on the dock watching them swim and enjoy the kayaks! We hope to return someday soon…. a little longer tho!
