The house was very clean. Property owners were very fast at responding to any needs. Hot tub was perfect for cold nights and tub was perfect right before bed time. Dogs had plenty of space to run and explore. Smokeless fire pit was a great addition for the cold nights. We definitely will be back again with the kids. Thank you again. Also, candles were such a great addition to the house!

Gorgeous Property

This home and property are absolutely stunning, it was perfect for a small intimate birthday celebration with family. The host was easy to get in contact with and provided everything that was needed, including water and food bowls if you are bringing a furry friend. The pontoon rental was a big plus where we enjoyed life on the lake even though it was windy and cloudy. Our dogs enjoyed the property almost as much as we need and we are grateful this gorgeous property allows dogs. 10/10 would recommend and will be back in the future.

Great get away!

Our family stayed at the property in June as an alternative to staying in Duluth for Grandma's Marathon. It was a great stay and I would definitely recommend! The hot tub was great and there's lots of deck/patio spaces to gather outside. Additionally, the inside was great for socializing and a large kitchen which was the hub of everything.

Great weekend getaway!

We celebrated a 50th birthday with friends this weekend, and we had the best time! Beautiful setting by the lake, and the hot tub was a relaxing retreat in the evening. Kayaking in the lake was a fun activity too! The house was beautiful and well stocked with everything we needed!
