Charming LAKEFRONT home, right on the shore of Island Lake Kubash Bay, straight north of Duluth (25/30 min drive from Downtown/Canal Park). Living room w/ gas fireplace & large window to beautiful sunset views, and water’s edge deck! Redecorated in 2022! HOSTS STAY in the LOWER LEVEL apt of the house, to give guests the top 2 floors to themselves (w/ their own private entrance). 20-25 min to Canal Park/downtown/mall area, 17 min from the mall, in a setting that is the best of both worlds: “Northwoods” peace & nature, w/ amenities & nearby conveniences of a rural city area!

*** DOCK IS REMOVED from the lake approximately Oct 15th. BACK IN the lake approx. May 10th. (Likely paddleboat & inflatable SUP also, but this is more weather-dependent)

* Many STAIRS from street level down to the house & lake (see pics).

[Gnesen Township Permit STR #23-04]. **PLEASE review the HOUSE MANUAL on site (in binder by the entry door).

    Great stay on Island Lake. I highly recommend this property… The owners were great to communicate with and had a nice ice cream treat upon our arrival. The cottage was clean, very well stocked, and the view of the bay was fantastic. We would stay again!!!

    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!

    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!

    The accommodations were great! The owners communicated well through the whole process. We had a chance to take out the paddleboat out at sunset. Will stay there again.

    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!
