Cozy Lakefront Cottage on Little Pequaywan ~ Great for all seasons

Beautiful Lake Cabin on Private Smith & Little Pequaywan Lakes
Escape to our fully remodeled 2-bedroom, 1-bath lake cabin — a cozy 900+ sq. ft. retreat designed for rest, fun, and connection. Tucked among tall pines on a quiet private lake, it’s the perfect place to unwind, recharge, and enjoy everything the Northwoods has to offer.

Inside the Cabin ~ Step inside and you’ll find a bright, open-concept space with a modern kitchen, island seating, and lake views from every angle. Everything inside is updated — from appliances and furniture to lighting and décor. It’s clean, fresh, and thoughtfully designed for easy living.

The Property ~ Our 4-acre wooded lot gives you space to roam and relax in privacy. Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck, spend the day on the water, and end your evening around the beautiful fire ring areas watching the sun set over the water.

Lake Life ~ We’ve got all the toys! Kayaks, a canoe, 2 paddle boats, 2 paddle boards and other numerous floaties are ready for your use. The beach area has a clean sand-and-gravel bottom — perfect for swimming. Life jackets are provided for toddlers through adults.
Want to explore more of the lake? Our 21’ pontoon boat with a 4-stroke motor is available to rent on a limited basis ($250/day or $1,000/week, gas included).
Note: Smith and Little Pequaywan are private lakes — outside boats can’t be launched ~ Except for kayaks, canoes and paddle boards.

Fishing Fun ~ Fishing is excellent right from the dock! You’ll find panfish, bass, perch, and northern pike. Walleyes bite best in low light or cloudy weather — try near the submerged islands located on the northern part of the lake. Fishing gear is available free of charge; just let us know what you need.

Great for All Seasons
• Summer: Swim, fish, and paddle in crystal-clear water.
• Fall: Watch the colors change over the lake and hike nearby trails.
• Winter: Snowmobile right from the cabin, ice fish, cross-country ski, ice skate on our skating rink (dependent on ice conditions) or cozy up and relax inside with a good book or movie.
• Spring: Enjoy peace and quiet as the ice melts and wildlife returns.

No matter the season, this cabin offers peace, beauty, and adventure.

Dog Friendly
We love dogs! Well-behaved pups are welcome with a $150 cleaning fee per dog. We just ask that they not be left alone in the cabin or allowed on the beds or furniture. Dogs must be in an enclosed crate if left unattended in the cabin. Note: Cats and other pets are not allowed.

Stay Connected
We have Wi-Fi, internet, and TV. AT&T works best for cell service in our area; other providers may have limited coverage.

Local Touches
You’ll find unique, handcrafted furniture and artwork from local artists throughout the cabin — and some pieces are available for purchase if you fall in love with them!

Great Location
We’re perfectly located for day trips and adventures:
• 40 min → Duluth’s Miller Hill Mall (Target, Walmart, shopping)
• 45 min → Canal Park on Lake Superior (restaurants, boutiques, boardwalks)
• 35 – 40 min → Two Harbors, Gooseberry Falls, and Split Rock Lighthouse
• 10 min → Superior Hiking Trail
• 5 min → Mother Bear Ski Trail

• Hugo’s Bar & Store – 10 miles north, serving a limited menu plus bait, tackle, propane refills, groceries, and gas

We had an absolutely beautiful stay at this cabin on the lake! We are so thankful for our hosts providing so much for our one-year-olds to play with and accommodations for their stay. We loved dining on the back deck overlooking the lake and having a peaceful, quiet place to relax. We can’t wait to go back and get out on the lake.

Beautiful Winter Getaway with Kids

Absolutely perfect stay! John and Lori were incredibly accommodating to our family during our stay at the cottage. They had an ice rink plowed, bonfire ready to light, and welcome basket in the kitchen. The cottage was so tidy and clean. There were tons of games and toys for our children to enjoy. We loved everything about our stay. It was amazing!

Great getaway!

This property was amazing! Part of the reason we booked it, was because of its proximity to other fun activities but we could have spent our entire vacation at the cabin! The kids spent hours swimming, fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding. A great place to make lifelong memories!

A three day get away with my son & grandson

It was a great time fishing with my boys. The cabin was like brand new, very clean and well organized, the fire pit up near the cabin was a great place to hang out in the evening and talk about our day fishing and being on the lake. The pontoon boat that the host provided suited our needs perfectly.

It was exceptional! The photos are accurate, the quality is high of the structure, fixtures, finishes and furniture. The kitchen is well stocked so you can cook a real meal. : ). The boat (for a fee), the kayaks and paddle boards enabled us to enjoy the water and fishing! The fire pit and yard games were great too!
