About this property

Charming Country Guest House offers gateway to Northern Delights!

Are you looking for a quiet country escape? This property is for you! Our guest house resides on the property of our main home. The guest house boasts three bedrooms and will sleep up to 7! Bedroom 1 has a bunk bed- 1 twin and 1 full. Bedroom 2 has a trundle bed- both twins. (Note- you do have to walk thru the second bedroom to get to the third. This detail was added to description April 2023 thanks to guest feedback:) Bedroom 3- 1 queen bed. The home is all on one level and features a kitchen with island seating, adjoined dining area, open living room and bathroom with walk-in shower (note: its not wheel chair accessible- sorry). There is a washer and dryer in the bathroom closet as well (brand-spanking new as of August 19, 2018!). The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, cookware, and utensils. You just bring the food! (New pots added April 2023 thanks to guest feedback). The home has in floor heat in the main area- baseboard heat in the back bedroom, and we supply a window AC unit for the summer months.

The living room offers a 32 inch TV with access to all local channels (approximately 15- including NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX). For those who would like internet, we will provide a WIFI hotspot upon request. Cellular reception has been reliable for both ATT and Verizon customers. We recently added a DVD player as of November 2018.

There is a sliding glass door off the dining area that opens to a patio and fire pit. We supply firewood. Patio also offers table and chairs for lounging or enjoying an evening meal outside. An outside propane grill is on the patio for guest use! We are currently developing some trails on our acreage and would be willing to share details for those who would like to explore- we are planning to place some fire pits at intersections for those who would like to hang out and enjoy.

We live on 10 wooded acres and have chickens that free-roam, as well as other animal guests including fox, rabbits, deer, birds (song birds, owls, grouse), ground squirrels, raccoons, skunk, chipmunks and the occasional moose!

For families traveling with children, we have a large outdoor jungle gym / playhouse on the property that you are welcome to use- assuming the kiddos are always under your supervision :)

We are within approximately 20 minutes of the Duluth Miller Hill Mall, 30 minutes to Duluth Canal Park and the Duluth Lakewalk, 20 minutes to Cloquet, 20 minutes to Jay Cooke State Park and within 50 minutes of the Iron Range. There is so much to see and do! Zim Bog, Munger Trail, Lakewalk, Canal Park, Park Point Beach, Black Bear Casino, Ironworld Heritage Center, Giants Ridge Ski & Golf, Mesabi Trail, Glensheen Mansion, Great Lakes Aquarium, The Depot, Superior Hiking Trail, Spirit Mountain and of course exploring the North Shore of Lake Superior just to name a few. Hiking, Biking, Boating, Fishing, Mountain Biking, Skiing, Sight-Seeing, Snowmobiling, Snowshoeing- all just within a few hours drive!

Don’t miss out on Christmas & Holiday activities in Duluth! Bentlyville and Christmas City Express train rides can’t be missed!

When booked, we will supply detailed directions as we have found the standard map apps bring people on a round about way to our property. We are located 1.5 miles off Highway 33 in Culver MN- which is really just a ‘state of mind’ with a zip code rather than a town :)

We look forward to your booking and making your stay enjoyable!

**Snow Removal / Winter Note**: Please note that we make every effort to keep the driveway plowed and the sidewalk cleared for our guests~ for your safety and because we live here too! We recently had two guests who complained that the sidewalk and driveway were not freshly cleared...both in the middle of a snowstorm. This I simply will not tolerate. If we are delayed in clearing, its because we are waiting for the snowstorm to pass or because we are taking care of our busy family inside~ not because we are neglecting you! Your grace, patience, and understanding are welcomed during the winter months as we tend to get A LOT of snow and do our best to keep up!

Quiet time: 9:00pm - 6:00am would be ideal. Because our main house is on the property- we would prefer to have 'quiet time' during these hours.
No chasing or picking up our pet chickens! Chasing them makes them avoid human contact and picking them up can easily break their fragile bones.
We have recently added a new fence in the back yard where the playground is located. Guests are free to use but we ask to be notified first.
