Location: Duluth, Minnesota, USA (10M SW of Cloquet, 8 M E of Cromwell off State Hwy 210)
Accommodations: Cabin, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 3-4)
This cabin sits on an ideal piece of private property on a small 80 acre lake only 10' from the waters edge. Sitting on the sofa is like being on a house boat. Summer Lane Cottage is perfectly situated for sunrises and sunsets, with an enclosed screen porch off the deck which extends the full length of the cabin.
After owning our home on the lake 20 years we purchased this property 7 years ago (2002)and we have done extensive renovation. New carpet, wall coverings all new furniture were added first. Then an enclosed screen room was added to the deck to enjoy bug free evenings and out door dining. There is a canoe, paddle boatas well as a 24' dock to enjoy the water. 2008 updates include a new shower enclosuer and bathroom fixtures. In 2009 we resided the exterior and added gutters. We continue to add to the property each year and invest back based on our rentals.
A DNR stocked trout lake is 1/2 mile away with a walk in access; loons and moose are on and around the lake. 10 miles to the Munger Trial for biking or in-line skating and 13 miles to Jay Cooke State Park for remarkable hiking.
The guests who enjoy it here are looking for a quiet site to read, hike, bike and enjoy a quiet lakeshore experience. The home is tastefully done, with ultra-comfortable furnishings and a complete kitchen to allow the chef in you to come out. Our first year in VRBO(2007) and we have been overwhelmed by inquiries and we have enjoyed 100% customer satisfaction.
A massage studio and fitness center are just 10 miles away. Massage and fitness packages are available for those who desire. Books, music, and regional art work fill this home. The first guest who rented it for a weekend stayed 3 weeks.
The host welcomes iTravex members inquiries with incentives provided.
