It was a great setting right on the canal. The dock was a great spot for morning yoga. The house was clean and felt surprisingly big when all 7 of us were there. We appreciated the dog-friendly policy, as well. A short walk across to the beach was also enjoyable. All in all, a great stay!

Birthday Celebration

Family members came together to celebrate our son's birthday who lives in Duluth. The owners were so responsive. We were right on the water and even though it was too chilly to get in the water, it was a lovely spot. The cottage was lovely and wonderfully decorated with every little detail considered to care for your stay. Nothing was forgotten. We loved it and would stay there again.
