North Shore Timber Home ~ Minutes To Town ~ Some Acres of Privacy!

Just 3 miles from City of Duluth, 3/4 mile from Lake Superior, near many rivers, & sight seeing areas along the North Shore

Relax and enjoy close proximity to the North Shore & its sightseeing and yet only a few minutes from the City of Duluth!

The lower level walkout has 3 bedrooms (2 queens & a king). The exterior features a large covered deck with grill and tables for dining and looks out onto the private property surrounded by trees.

The property has a gentle slope & children enjoy sledding in the winter. You may see deer on the property or evidence of them frolicking in the yard while you were out skiing or sightseeing.

The property is not located on Lake Superior, but is less than a mile from the McQuade Safe Harbor/Boat launch on Lake Superior.

Wonderful property!
We really enjoyed all the space and the covered outside seating area was amazing. Private outdoor setting with the noise of the creeks running water through the property was very soothing. A rainy day didn't even interrupt our time we had to spend with one another.

Lovely location, lovely house, lovely host.
We had a great time here with 13 adults. We had to share some beds and bring a couple air mattresses but we never felt cramped or out of space. Property and house were both lovely (covered deck was very handy with all the rain!) and host was very communicative. We would definitely rent this property again.

Fun and Relaxing Girls Weekend
We stayed in this property for a short weekend and we just loved it. The home was spacious. There were 5 bedrooms with another bed, futon and roll-away bed available in the master, a single bed under the stairs, and even a couch if you need it. The kitchen is stocked, there are are games available inside and outside for fun. The living room was cozy with the wood burning fireplace. There are more light switches in this place than we had ever seen before! It was almost like a scavenger hunt trying to figure out how to work all of the lights. Haha! The 2 story deck was amazing and just perfect for sitting outside listening to the stream in front of the house. We came away with 2 recommendations. Bring a cart or a portable wagon to help haul your things to the house. You will need to carry all of your stuff over a bridge and up a hill to the cabin. It was quite the workout for these old ladies! It might be helpful to stash a wagon or 2 in the large brown locker in the parking area for guests to use. Also, we spent a lot of time imaging the history of the build of this house. The original cabin walls are easily identifiable. It would be really cool if you had photos of the history of the original to how it became what it is today. Maybe a photo book or something. We also enjoyed reading the guest book entries from all of the other wonderful trips that had been mad to this house. Thank you so much and we cannot wait to go back!

Amazing, cozy cabin
We had the perfect little getaway and the property was beyond amazing. Loren was extremely responsive and great to communicate with. You can really tell he takes pride in the property and his guests. We were also extremely impressed by the amount of kid amenities that were provided (baby gates were an amazing addition provided by the family!) and the fun toys for them. Looking forward to staying here in the future!

Perfect place for a writing retreat
This property got rave reviews from all the people here for a writing retreat. The bedrooms are cozy, the sitting areas are inviting, and the big dining table allowed us to gather around and talk about writing. Everyone felt inspired! It was easy to make meals and hot tea and coffee to go along with the meals. Wish we didn't have to leave!
