The house was perfect for a relaxing weekend at the lake. Great views from the deck and the large window in the living room. The screened seating area was perfect in the evenings. Great kitchen - outfitted with plenty of cooking supplies. Ange and Erich were great hosts - lots of communication before and during our stay. Great place for a stay on the lake.

You can tell that the owners have put a lot of thought into the design of this cabin. We appreciated the spacious deck and beautiful lake view. Inside, there are large windows so you get plenty of natural light. When we wanted to close up for the night, the windows were sound proof, the A/C units and ceiling fan were quiet and the sun blocking shades let us sleep in. The bed and couches were super comfy. We enjoyed the well-appointed kitchen with full size appliances, many cooking items and plenty of spices. Everything was spotless. It's an easy drive from Duluth.

Super easy to find (especially with the great communication from the hosts)! The location was outstanding—quiet, peaceful, and absolutely beautiful, yet still close enough to Duluth and multiple state parks for easy exploring. The cabin was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Would absolutely stay here again!

What a wonderful space to getaway! Ange was so great with communication and even helped me find a place to eat for my birthday! Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Cute and cozy place with an amazing view. Nice to have a covered spot for my vehicle and even though there are stairs down to the place, it didn’t feel like a big hike. It was just the reset I needed and I didn’t want to leave :) Can’t wait to visit again someday when plants are in bloom and/or in the fall.

Perfect Island Lake Reservoir Retreat!

Great house on a quiet bay! The accommodations were modern, clean & comfortable. Two of the best VRBO hosts! Clear communication before, during, and after our stay. So many great amenities inside and out (fire pit, small beach, great dock and water toys)! We will book again! Thank you for a great stay!
Beautiful sunset!
So peaceful in this bay!
The paddle boat was great for fishing! Several Pike and Bass caught!

Family getaway

Lovely property- very clean and nicely decorated. Friendly owners who reside in lower level, but are very respectful of your privacy. Owners provided a sweet welcome treat. Beautiful scenery and wonderful place to stay. Would definitely recommend staying here!
