Wildwood Cottage, Duluth, private wooded retreat on the North Shore

Wildwood Cottage is a newly built, Scandinavian Modern designed, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom retreat, nestled into the woods. There are 80-plus acres of forested state land to the south of the property with a walking trail from the cottage to the Sucker River.

Located 20 minutes from Canal Park and Downtown Duluth, 5 minutes to Stoney Point and Knife River Marina Beach, and 10 minutes to Brighton Beach makes this a fabulous location one mile north of Lake Superior and the North Shore Scenic Drive (Grandma's Marathon route).

The home is all on one level, with easy access on grade, plus all doors are 3 feet wide. The floors are all hand-stenciled, and original artwork by area artists fill the cottage.

One bathroom has a tub/shower combination unit, the second bathroom a good sized shower.

Outdoors has plenty of area for lawn games, plus a fire pit and chairs out front. All firewood and gas grill provided.

The x-long twin beds are very comfy for adults, as well as for children. Board games, blue-ray DVD player and Smart TV with lots of movies, will easily help when you just want to chill out.

The kitchen is fully outfitted with almost anything you would need and your hosts live just 1100 feet away and will easily accommodate anything that you may need.
