    Reunited with lifelong friends at a quiet and beautiful home, I couldn't recommend this place more. Clean, with everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Sat outside on the deck drinking coffee and watched a doe with two fawns frolic. Close to Duluth and Two Harbors if you want to explore some parks or shop. We didn't want to leave!

    A perfect long weekend to enjoy the mild weather. Recent snowfall had left us with a beautiful landscape, but Loren had cleaned off all the snow so we were able to use the porch and Blackstone griddle all weekend. The combination of wood, stone, granite, eclectic mixes of modern and historic, and color made Timber House an experience for all. An early morning fire in the fireplace and afternoons in the sunshine on the porch were a perfect combination. The centralized location was perfect for day trips to Gooseberry Falls and split rock lighthouse, and then back to Duluth for the Glensheen Mansion. Many hours of games played around the dining table and the high speed provided us with the opportunity to watch the NCAA wrestling finals and March madness. A wagon was helpful to haul in/out our things, but there was plenty of kitchen supplies to prep our favorite family meals. Loved the options for coffee provided by the Ninja DualBrew (k-cups were provided) and plenty of space for our group of 7. A perfect spring break getaway.

    It’s cleanliness property and affordable however, the property needs water, bathrooms and parking lot updated. Bathtubs are lacking of support rails for elderly people to get in and out of the old style tub. Water pressure or volume needs to be increased to accommodate two or more people showering at the same time. Parking area is too far from the property which is difficult for older people to walk to the property. Thank you.

    As advertised, owners were pleasant and easy to deal with. House was well equipped (don’t have to run out and buy toilet paper/ paper towels / etc) and there isn’t a huge list of rules and house keeping like there is in some places. Only complaint is that the only way to access the two showers is through a bedroom but we made it work fine.

The house had everything we need for the little ones and the teenagers loved the ping pong table. The large porch was everyone's favorite place to hang out. And Duluth was so close when we wanted to get out for a day activity. Highly recommend for large family gatherings!

    The moment we walked in we heard our 5 grandchildren squealing in delight. They all went to the loft room to claim their nighttime spot! (My oldest mentioned the next morning that she could see the stars through the window and she felt so blessed).Throughout our stay we heard their joy playing ping pong, cornhole and cards. The deck was our choice for meals, music, playing 5 crowns and Uno and so much more. With the 12 of us just enjoying family and the outdoors and lovely wild flowers. (We really had no bug issues at all). S’mores by the fire, family photos and all the love we could share with each other.We had tears as our family gathering came to an end. We created so many memories, it was amazing.And on a side note we got to break in a new Blackstone grill, which made the guys happy to use it and the gals happy to not be in charge of the meals.Our hosts were fabulous, on top of everything and quick to answer any questions!If we could give more than 5 stars we would!

    We truly enjoyed our stay at the North Shore Timber Lodge. Our only regret is that it wasn't longer! There were plenty of bedrooms for everyone, and we were able to cook a delicious Christmas dinner. We would love to come back and take advantage of the beautiful porch, which feels like an additional living area. We liked that we weren't in the middle of Duluth but could reach downtown in just 10 minutes. If you are looking for a unique property, this one will be sure to wow you!

    This is such a beautiful property! The log home is so pretty and cozy. Very well appointed kitchen, and this is from cooks/foodies. We brought a lot of our own cookware/implements, but wouldn't have needed them at all! Impressive. The bathrooms where very nice (do you love deep clawfoot tubs?) this is the place for you! The outdoor space was amazing with tons of seating space and very nice griddle top grill. We stayed right before Xmas and would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the outdoor porch! Definitely would stay again. Highly recommend! Oh, and the host went out of his way to mail us something we left behind which was extremely appreciated!

So helpful to have a bathroom on all floors. We didn't end up using the firepit--but greatly appreciated the wood left behind for us to use! The property was beautiful and breathtaking as you pull up . The wagon was so helpful to transport supplies from parking area to the house. Initially we were a little worried about this process, but it is really not a long distance we barely noticed! Loren was very responsive and made check in and check out simple.
