This is now one of our favorite places to stay around the U.S. Being from Cloquet and my relatives live on this lake, it worked out perfectly for us. Every amenity you can imagine in the house! The hot tub was perfect! We recommend renting the boat and fishing! Great communication from the host! If you want guaranteed memories for your vacation/travels then this is it!

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!

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.
