Wonderful Weekend on the North Shore

My family and I had a great weekend stay here. The rental was very nice and clean, and had ample sitting space inside and outside on the balcony for family dinners and playing board games. It is located in a very central location to several of the state parks on the north shore that we were able to easily visit. Highly recommend this rental!

Impeccable property - as if we were the first people to use it. Great condition, great (very VERY remote) location, peaceful, and on a beautiful, pristine lake. Kids had a great time exploring, kayaking, and generally being on a luxury wilderness adventure.

Beautiful Northwoods Lake Home

This was a great experience for the long weekend. The property was immaculate, had everything amenity we could ask for and the perfect balance of being off of the beaten path but still accessible to a few towns when the weather was a little rainy. The location is top notch and the property itself was perfect for 3 couples. Highest marks for this property and it’s host.

great experience

Stayed here during our ski visit to Lutsen. Property was clean, spacious and very warm. Kerry, the owner, went above and beyond to make us comfortable. We asked about a gas grill being available for grilling and next thing we know a brand new grill was dropped off because the other grill was snowed in. We would definitly stay here again.

Ideal Lake Getaway

Wow. A beautiful house in a quiet and wonderful corner of the North Shore. Our 15-year-old nephew had the time of his life kayaking, fishing, and hiking. We all enjoyed the fire pit, game room, and naps in the loft. Kerry is a perfect and welcoming host!

We wish we were there still

We had a wonderful time. The property, lake and house are beautiful. The house had everything we needed. We cooked great meals and had wonderful family time. The lake is gorgeous. We kayaked, the kids caught crawfish and swam. Be careful if you take a boat on the lake because there are shallow spots. The owners are kind and hospitable. We would love to come back.

Snowmobiling Trip

Stayed with a group of friends for a snowmobiling trip! Kerry personally ensured we knew how to get to the trail (given the current logging detour) and took us there the first time himself. The cabin was beautiful and we loved the fireplace after a long day of riding. Easy access to trails - we rode to Finland, Grand Marais, and Babbitt to name a few. The heated garage meant we could keep our gear there instead of in the cabin. Will absolutely be back for another stay and many thanks to Kerry for his hospitality and kindness!

2 retired couples enjoying the scenic beauty of the wonderful UTV trails in Superior Forest! The Cabin was a delight and a great Basecamp to experience trails in every direction. The cabin was immaculate and offered a peaceful and quiet environment after a long day of riding. KERRY took care of any concerns or questions we had on the spot. We look forward to a ride in the fall and this cabin will be our home away from home! Thanks Kerry for making our stay a success and creating some great memories in the process! Pat & Joyce

Peaceful Paradise

This home is the perfect gathering place, we knew from the listing it would meet our needs but the pictures truly do not do this place justice. The fully stocked open kitchen that flowed out to the back deck overlooking the lake was the perfect setting for morning coffees, family dinners, watching the sunset and game nights around the table. The owners thought of everything when they built and stocked this home. It is a great location secluded enough to feel the calmness of the backcountry but close enough to all the sights and attractions of the north shore. Thanks again to Kerry and Patti for sharing your peaceful plot of land with our family.

Complete Fun and Luxury by North Woods Lake

The Nine-Mile Lake home is one of the best homes we have vacationed at. It was super clean, with nice decor, well built home with different cozy spots around the house to sit and enjoy your group (sit in front of the fire, movie room, fire pit area, outside table, bean bag loft, etc). It was completely supplied with any kitchen or activity needs. The lake was beautiful to kayak on (two plus supplied). To relax or explore the north shore within a 1/2 hour this is an amazing accommodation. And to top it off Kerry and his family communicated quickly, were friendly and met requests immediately. Absolutely loved this home and wish we could take it back home with us 😊. Excellent stay!!!

Sweet spot for our family!

We loved this sweet spot off the beaten path. It's a bit of drive to get here but once you arrive it's a quiet, serene and beautiful place on the shore of Nine Mile Lake. We enjoyed hanging in the hammocks by the lake, kayaking, playing card games on the deck, going for walks and fires in the firepit. This place is clean and well equipped for 4 adults. We made most of our meals and grilled one evening so everything but the groceries is here and ready for your use. We also watched movies in the media/game room. It was a delightful stay. Thanks Kerry for being such a gracious host!
