About this property

Come relax in a Tranquil Cottage on Island Lake!

Charming LAKEFRONT home, right on the shore of Island Lake Kubash Bay, straight north of Duluth. Living room w/ gas fireplace & large window to beautiful sunset views, and water’s edge deck! Redecorated in 2022! HOSTS STAY in the LOWER LEVEL apt of the house, to give guests the top 2 floors to themselves (w/ their own entrance). 20-25 min to Canal Park/downtown, 17 min from the mall area, in a setting that is the best of both worlds: “Northwoods” peace & nature, w/ amenities & nearby conveniences of a rural city area!

*** DOCK IS REMOVED from the lake approximately Oct 15th. BACK IN the lake approx. May 15th. (Likely paddleboat & inflatable SUP also, but this is more weather-dependent)

* Many STAIRS from street level down to the house & lake (see pics).
* Please note our easy access to the city is due to our proximity to the small nearby highway. Vehicle traffic is easily heard outdoors, and while generally quiet, there are time of the day/week/year where this varies as to the amount of traffic.
[Gnesen Township Permit STR #23-04]. **PLEASE review the HOUSE MANUAL on site (in binder by the entry door).

Check-out instructions

The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:
Load the dishwasher
Gather used towels
Lock the doors
Taking out the trash & recycling is not expected, but if you would like to do so, 2 bins (blue top is mixed recycling, grey top is garbage) are up by the garage, and it is much appreciated 🙂
IF the dishwasher is FULL, and you want to run it, pods are under the sink, but also not required.
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.
We’re sorry we cannot accommodate guests’ pets. We have 2 cats of our own, who live in the lower level (One is outdoor also). And fenced chickens.
We always require a valid Gov ID (Ex. driver’s license) for the primary/paying guest. Please text a pic of the front to me or attach it in the message
REMOVE SHOES inside. If needed for wooden floors/stairs, please bring house shoes/slippers, or keep shoes on for safety, if need be.

About the host

Hosted by Ange and Erich

Host profile image
We are quiet people, but love hosting nonetheless! We both work full time, and love life on the lake, gardening, and long walks. We do our best to live an eco-friendly and sustainable lifestyle too!
We let our guests be, to enjoy their stay, but are happy to say hello to anyone who’d like to. We don’t have a lot of free time to enjoy our beautiful lake property, so it makes us very happy to be able to have others enjoy it! All are welcome!

Why they chose this property

This is a home-sharing, with separate areas and separate entrance for guests. We have owned and loved our lake home property here since 2012.

What makes this property unique

Lake/bay-front, right on the lake’s edge, 16-20ft deep water in our bay! Beautiful sunsets from the big living room window, the deck, or the screenporch.
