Our third time staying here and we hope it won’t be our last! The property is beautiful and so peaceful. It’s perfect for a quiet weekend away. We love the availability of the pontoon and used it a ton during our stay. They have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable, including a well stocked kitchen. Our only request is for more and better window treatments in the bedrooms to help the kids sleep in :)

We had a fantastic stay. The cabin was perfect for us. We had two 14yo boys and an old golden with us. The sunsets on the deck are incredible, the loons calling, the quiet lake, the fishing, the fire pit by the water, the pontoon, the kayaks, and paddle boat were perfect to keep us busy. We never really left other than to get some bait. Check in was simple and everything was fairly clean. The only real issues were the screen door on the deck was broken and did not stay on track very good and pontoon lights did not work so we could not go out on pontoon to night fish, but fishing off dock was good so no big deal. Plus the skeeters are insane at night so probably would not have lasted long any how on the water. Bring lots of bug spray in the summer, you will regret not bringing it. Everything about this place is about relaxation and fun. We loved every minute of our stay.

The lake is beautiful —a true gem!Our group included five adults and two three-year olds and everyone had a great time! We brought kayaks and paddled all over the lake, as well as up Coyote Creek where we saw a mama loon on her nest. Fishing was fantastic as was lounging on the dock in the morning and fires at the built in fire pit in the evening. The little ones spent hours throwing rocks into the water and with water shoes comfortably wading in the shallow area by the lake-side deck. The cabin itself was a bit disappointing. The screen door to the lakefront deck was broken and non-functional, as was one of the futons in the living room. Everything could use a deep clean — even for a cabin — and normal cleaning between guests. Beds were comfortable with memory foam mattress toppers, and we appreciated plenty of sheets and towels.Sunsets were gorgeous and the at-the-lake vibe was wonderful and memorable, for our annual three-generation family time.

We live in nearby Hermantown with our 3 school aged children. We bought the cabin so they could enjoy the lake life as they grow up. With busy schedules, we try to get to the cabin a couple times a month and we want to share it with others when we are not able to enjoy it ourselves.

Why they chose this property

The best sunsets you can find with nightly sounds of loons calling.

What makes this property unique

Conveniently located between the Duluth,Two Harbors and North Shore areas with privacy to boot.
