Summary: One of the nicest places we have ever stayed. Super duper clean, convenient to Duluth and local attractions, and truly superb hosts. Very prompt and thorough with communication. We are so glad we got to get away at this little gem.

Summary: A great stay, and we weren’t even there long enough to enjoy the huge yard, with room for any number of yard games and with a fire pit! Mom and 9- year old son in one room, young couple with baby in a pack & play in the other, and “old auntie” on the futon- worked perfectly. Room to play table (card) games after dinner, kids to sleep in rooms early so there was grown-up visiting time, a very comfy stay. I will definately book again when we are up in that area. Oh, and so convenient to all of the tourist & park stuff in Duluth & surrounding area- thank you hosts for providing some thoughts for that! Easy, quick access to Duluth and north shore, yet back to the woods and stars for the night at “home”- the best of both worlds!

Summary: This cabin was the perfect place to be out in the woods and have privacy but still close enough to drive to Black Bear casino or up to Duluth or Two Harbors for the day. Everything was very clean, well-kept, and Mike and Andrea were very helpful and did a great job communicating with us so we knew what to expect. We hope to come back again!

Summary: We had a great time in this cozy cabin! It rained when we may have been outside so we didn’t get to use the fire pit but it was nice to have a comfy place inside to cook and recover after a long day of hiking and exploring. We knew it was close to Jay Cooke but it’s ridiculously close! Super convenient without the hassle of staying in the park. Owners were super responsive throughout as well! Highly recommend.

Summary: My partner and I stayed here for two night just to get away from the cities for a birthday. It was very clean and comfy! The communication from the owners was amazing and also included so many great recommendations!! The property wasn’t quite as private as I expected (immediate neighbors) but that also could have been due to the trees not being filled in. Still a great stay and we would return :)
