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 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 we were overwhelmed by inquiries and we have enjoyed 100% customer satisfaction.

A massage studio(The Body Connection in Cloquet) and fitness center(Park Ave. Fitness) are just 10 miles away. 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.

  • I've read all of the other comments posted and I feel we could have written any one of them about our experiences at Summer Lane Cottage. Restful for my husband and I, terrific fun for our son. My husband and I were struck by how well furnished the cabin is, we wanted for nothing. Tired after driving in from the airport in Minneapolis, we were met by the owner and made to feel most welcome. I was even impressed with how clean the cabin was compared to other cabins where we've vacationed. Gracious owners, relaxing setting, and a place that feels like home...we'll return every summer if possible!

  • 7/15/09 We just got back from a few days at the cabin, we virtually had the lake to ourselves during the week. It was quiet and relaxing, the paddle boat and canoe were right there and ready to go. My son caught a northern pike, and the girls were happy to fish even though they just caught bullheads, I wonder why anyone would rather go to the ozarks or okaboji which is so crowded, when you have paradise and quiet in minnesota

  • Stayed here for 3 days in August. We were very pleased. It's quiet, relaxing and the cabin is well-maintained. Mike did a great job making us feel at home, as well as providing us with ample firewood for fires. Kids had a blast catching perch off the dock, and the canoe and paddle boat were also a bit hit with the kids. In summary, we had a great time.

  • We have been up to stay at this beautiful cabin 3 different times & have more fun each time we go back. I can hardly wait to come up again. We have had a wonderful time enjoying all the lake has to offer--swimming, paddle boat, etc. It is exactly the kind of relaxing atmosphere for our family to reconnect & unwind. It seems that our time always goes so quickly! It's a getaway that I hope to be able to enjoy every year. Accommodations are suitable for a family of 4 (that includes 2 young children.All you need is clothes,swim suits, & a stop in Cloquet to pick up food.A wonderful place to go!

  • We had such a great time at this cabin, we are already planning a return trip! So peaceful and quiet, you forget you are in Minnesota because it feels like you are so far away from everything! The owner is so generous and accommodating. When we arrived all of our towels were laid out and there were chocolates on our pillows! We truly enjoyed the quiet lake and paddle boat rides!

  • We have stayed at the cottage for three summers, sometimes for as long as three weeks. It is a fabulous place to stay for many reasons. First is the cottage itself. It has every coziness a person could want. Next is the wonderful location. Some days we commuted to work in Duluth. Other days we went into the quaint local town for coffee. The bike and rollerblade trail is only twenty minutes away and is some of the best recreational biking around. And the owners have been so good to us. They are some of the most caring and accomodating people we know.!! Terese

  • What a wonderful respite from a fast paced world! All life calms down when you enter the idyllic setting of Summer Lane Cottage. The amenities are just perfect -- you really only need to bring your clothes and food. You can sit in silence, listen to music, watch a movie, walk in the woods, take a nap, read a book, stare into the lake, and just thoroughly enjoy your time there. Plus the owners are very responsive to any need you might have -- especially if you need wood for a fire on a cool night!!!

  • It was exactly what I needed. The cottage is beautifully maintained on a peaceful and quiet lake. I couldn't take my eyes off the view from the big window and deck. There was lots of wild life to observe. The cabin was stocked with everything I could think of to help me relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. There is an excellent variety of books, music and videos. The kitchen is well stocked also and there is a grill on the deck. We felt so pampered. The setting is idyllic. I highly recommend this rental to everyone.

  • I might not sound very impartial in this comment, but the first time I stayed there, Summer Lane Cottage just seemed Paradise on Earth to me. After one or two days I began to refer to it as "home" and I still did (and will do) the three other times I stayed in it. I really don't know better place to rest, to see one's problèmes from a different and beneficial point of view, to enjoy the silence or/and the leaves rustling gently in the breeze and the lakewater lapping the shore. While in Summer Lane, you will be simultaneously in the middle of a gorgeous nowhere and so close to civilization and aménities! Go for it, guys, but please, do leave me time to stay when I'll fly from France!!
