A very beautiful place to stay. So peaceful and quiet. And we loved the fact that we were able to bring our dog, Theo. He loved the fact that he could hang out with us on the upper deck and not have to be on the leash. Home is beautiful, and I would recommend it, to anyone who wants to get away from the big cities.

The house was amazing! The space felt much bigger than expected. It was perfectly secluded. You could see and hear the neighbors, but the property felt isolated with the trees on either side. The beds were very comfortable and kitchen well equipped. We took a relaxing bubble bath in the soaker tub. We had a quick stay and spent a lot of our time in the lake with our dog who loved swimming. It was the perfect property for him. We ended the night with a fire in the fire pit, soaking in the hot tub, and relaxing on the deck. It was the perfect getaway that we needed. Very close drive to Duluth and Lake Superior. We definitely hope to come back.

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!
