We very much enjoyed our stay. The young adults enjoyed exploring the property and the sauna. We were secluded,but also very close to activities in Duluth. We had a slight issue with the air conditioner, but the owner was quick to take care of it. Per my daughter-in-law, I picked the perfect place! Please note that you may find fairy houses along the trail. Built by my five year old granddaughter and visited by many fairies who left notes and a gift. A truly magical place!

We stay at a lot of VRBOs around the country, and no kidding, this is maybe the best house and property we've ever seen. The home is beautiful and very comfortable. Stocked with everything we needed. And the surrounding ponds and woods are stunning. 20 minutes from downtown Duluth, and yet feels like we're at a luxury cabin / resort in the woods.

Beautiful peaceful property. Great place to relax and unwind. Lots of room outside for the dogs to roam

Talk about a loaded kitchen. Every appliance you could want, perfectly labeled drawers, and an amazing stove/oven. We had some wonderful family time at this home. Plenty of space for a family of 8, even had an extra room. Pretty clean for a pet-friendly place. Under the couch is a little scary (we lost a toy, that’s why we looked lol) but otherwise clean. water pressure left something to be desired. Location is perfect. Out of town and private but only 20 mins from all Duluth things. The views are incredible, even in the winter! I would definitely stay here again.
