Amazing Lake Home

Host is friendly and quick to respond.Lovely view of the lake and the loons were beautiful to listen to. Beds were clean and comfortable. Comfortable, casual space with carefree accommodations. Unfortunately the plastic connector on the shower head broke while we were there so we were limited to one shower and the accidental insurance plan (bought at time of booking) did not cover the 240.00 replacement (invoice from the host) even though the plan was a 3000.00 damage coverage insurance Generali accidental damage protection. We brought food to grill out and enjoy the lake, but unfortunately the grills were not in working order and the grass had a lot of goose poop on it. The open concept of the home is very interesting, with a loft bedroom and a full view of the lake. The bathroom doesn’t have a full wall on one side, it is an open view from bed to shower to lake, so if you like your privacy this may not be the place for you.Plenty of parking and a lots of fisherman on the lake

Awesome lake property.

This house has an unconventional layout, and I wouldn’t recommend for mixed household groups or families with children under 5. The primary bedroom (and bathroom!) are part of the loft (open ceiling and open wall), so there’s no privacy to the rest of the house. It’s also up a tight spiral staircase. The bunk bed room in the FROG is a ways from the closest bathroom and would be a tough distance from parents to young kids.While technically clean, it was lacking the polish usually seen in professionally cleaned rentals and there were many junk piles inside and around the house - dirty laundry, unfinished projects, opened personal beverages in the fridge (ie not just shareable condiments), etc.That being said, it was spacious and had warm, comfortable accommodations and thoughtful coffee options. We enjoyed the kayaks on the small lake, dock, views, and fire pit on a beautiful fall weekend. We used it as home base for a 1hr drive to Gooseberry and 30 min to Canal Park area of Duluth. It’s a bit remote and we woke to gunshots in the early mornings both days (no blame to the owner, just a warning to other renters who might be alarmed by this).Checkin/checkout was simple and quick. We had no issues to communicate with the owner while there, but his responses before and after the trip were courteous and timely.

Secluded but still within decent distance to town

Great communication with owner. Beautiful lake front. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful location - the lake was great and our family enjoyed the kayaks and canoe. The house is unique with the loft layout and bunk room - it was perfect for our family of six. We appreciated the games and activities that were provided and overall had a great time. We had some concerns with the overall cleanliness and insects in the bathroom, but our biggest issue was that when we arrived we found that the air conditioner in the main house was disassembled and parts and tools were on the floor. I reached out to Hunter who apologized, but I feel that this was a pretty major issue that should have been communicated in advance. If the temperatures had not dropped significantly the first night we arrived, it would have been uncomfortably hot in the main bedroom in the loft.Overall we did enjoy the property and had a great time with our family, but just wanted to share the areas that could have improved.

Great time & Great place!

Beautiful house we were in town for a wedding so did not have time to enjoy all of the luxuries of the house and Beautiful lake. It seemed like the house was equipped with every thing you might need. So thank you. We would gladly return

The property itself was beautiful- Hunter was a great host. AC had a slight leak in the master but he was quick to communicate with me when I found it. The kayaks, paddle boards, hot tub, game room and every other feature we could use we did (except the boat). My hubby and I will be back on our own for a weekend hideaway! I may have forgotten one of our life jackets there

We loved our stay! The sandy beach was great for the kids, and they had fun fishing right off the dock. We really enjoyed the kayak and paddle boards. Inside, the kitchen was well-stocked, beds were comfortable, and we loved the coffee station! We would stay here again!

Very clean, homey, spacious. Loved being on the lake!

Loved our stay here. Plenty of room for our family of 6, but not so big that you loose that cozy togetherness feel. Fun games including hoops, workout area, beautiful views; we loved the fireplace and sauna. Easy drive to Hermantown and Duluth too.

Thank you

It was a lovely relaxing space to stay. We loved it!

Beautiful setting, we enjoyed our weekend here.

The property has great access to the lake for swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and playing in the sand. If you are traveling with small children there's a few good fyi's: there's a spiral staircase going up to the lofted master bedroom. Also, the room with the bunk beds is on the other side of the house from the lofted master. If your small ones need you in the middle of the night, it's a bit of a trek. Otherwise, lots to take advantage of with the lake & outdoor amenities!
