The location is fantastic, offering a stunning natural setting that makes you feel like you're miles away from it all, even though you're actually quite close. The hosts are super accommodating and quick to respond, making the whole experience even better.

A perfect place to stay for day trips to Duluth and the MN North Shore. The "cabin" is beautiful and the hosts are welcoming. It was gorgeous in autumn and must be amazing in the winter. It was one of the most well-equipped places I've stayed. I'd visit again in a heartbeat!

Setting of property is breathtaking! Nestled in a hill on acreage in wooded area about a mile off of Highway 61. Loren, the owner, was very accommodating and answered all of our questions quickly. The house is well-equipped and very clean. Our group of seven girlfriends had a very enjoyable stay and will be coming back next year.

Excellent location and fantastic property. Host were excellent- great personalities and communication. Property was as described and pictured, was a great time for our family reunion. Comfortably slept 10 adults, just a couple of privacy concerns if not related or extremely conservative (need to pass through another sleep area to use bathrooms on upper/lower floors. Great time!

Extremely clean beautiful home. Very comfortable climate controlled rooms. The oversized covered balcony was the highlight and accommodated our extended family perfectly for morning coffee and other meals. I can’t say enough good things about our stay, we enjoyed it thoroughly! Communication with the host was extremely easy and prompt. The property was in perfect proximity to all of the activities we wanted to do and sights we wanted to see along the North Shore as well as in the city of Duluth.

Amazing home in a sublime forest setting. We had 3 families with adult children, and the configuration was perfect with 5 bedrooms and extra beds. The outdoor tables and chairs were plentiful and so cosy. We used the Blackstone outdoor grill a ton, and it worked great for eggs, hash-browns, pancakes… we also had nightly fires by the fire pit, and loved the fireflies, the sound of the water from the creek, and the howl of coyote/wolves. We had our bikes and enjoyed the awesome trails north on the Scenic drive, and south to Duluth. A Thankful for all the work that went into making this a beautiful stay in a gorgeous setting.
