Kenwood Cottage | The Trail's Edge/"Captain's Quarters" Is A Gorgeous Retreat, In Any Season.

3 Bedroom Cottage in Kenwood, Duluth

The house known as the 'Captain's Quarters' sits at the forest's edge, set back from the road and tucked into a very private estate. A four year build, (completed in 2008), it is filled with modern luxuries such as a gourmet kitchen, beautiful bluestone gas fireplace, radiant heated floors, a spa bath, air conditioning and wifi internet. Though the amenities are modern, the 'feel' of the home is steeped in an old world charm and beauty. Built with a love for the art, nothing was overlooked. From the heavy Douglas fir timbers, to the ornate cast iron radiators, much was borrowed from days gone by and re purposed here. Details in brass, marble, red wood, granite, copper, maple, limestone, and stained glass are to be found throughout.
This home was designed with friends and family in mind, and so is very social and entertains beautifully. It is truly a pleasure to experience!
The house is surrounded by gorgeous natural landscapes. White pines tower above mossy cliffs and rocky outcroppings. Wild life big and small weave through the trees. Sweeping cedars huddle and lean into each other. Colorful maples surround it all, both glowing over, and shading the acreage. There's even a pretty forest pond for the frogs and ducks, and ice skating come winter, that sits below a cozy 'lighthouse' on the bluff. And now we have a large pond nestled between the cliffs and the house with a beautiful pavilion to sit and enjoy the ducks and dragonfly's go by. Not to mention all the birds coming and going. (five bird feeders)
The property adjoins hundreds of acres of diverse designated 'green spaces' that are woven with miles of walking and cross country ski trails. And if you like e-bikes, we have those available too. And Hartley Recreational area but a short peddle away.
This house is located in the perfect part of Duluth. While being only minutes away from Lake Superior and Downtown one way, and the malls and airport the other, there is still an absolutely enchanting feel to it all.

Summary: 3 60 sisters stayed with our aging parents. We loved the dining area for eating and games and the kitchen's complete utensil supplies. Steps into living room were tough for Dad, but that space was lovely as well. Enjoyed our time there!

Summary: Charming house with great kitchen and spacious yet cozy. Kids enjoyed playing in the yard and watching the deer, birds and squirrels. Close enough to everything yet private.

Summary: We had a great celebration. My father-in-law wanted to stay there due to the craftsmanship of the home. It did not disappoint. You can tell a great deal of love and skill went into the build. We loved the hiking trail out by the gazebo and the ducks in the pond. Location is close to things to do in Duluth but never felt like it. It felt secluded in the woods. Our host, Doug, was also very kind and interesting to chat with.

Summary: Exactly what we were looking for. This is the first year our family vacation took us to Duluth. We wanted our “college student” grandson to be able to join us while being close enough to downtown to enjoy what Duluth has to offer. With family, we still wanted a quiet place to relax. This place has it all! The house is beautiful and homey without a doubt, but our rural farm family loved the deck, duck pond, pavilion and well marked walking trails that went on for miles. Douglas was very informative and easy to work with. This property is a gem!!!

Summary: My wife and I -along with a couple of close friends- were able to stay at this amazing property for a long weekend, and we were stunned by the beauty of this home. Inside, outside and surrounding property/grounds were all impeccable. Don't think twice about booking here. If your dates are available, just DO IT. You will NOT regret it!

Summary: Our stay surpassed our expectations in every way! This property is truly one-of-a-kind with customized craftsmanship, a beyond-equipt chef's kitchen and outstanding on-site amenities including the Wildlife Pond, Outdoors Pavilion and Secluded Private Hiking Trails. We visited with our two kiddos and my parents and we all had a restful, comfy and relaxing stay. Doug was gracious and informative, sharing details of his custom build with my Dad, a cabinet-maker with an appreciation for craftsmanship. We did family hikes on the property trails ever day and enjoyed an evening around the firepit on the Pavilion. Being surrounded by so much beauty was a wonderful accent to our Duluth stay and we hope to return soon!

Summary: If you love architecture, serenity and wildlife, and want to be just 10 minutes outside Duluth - this is the cabin for you. Doug is an amazing host, with the most beautiful and gorgeous cabin you ever will get the pleasure of staying in. The rooms are comfortable, the patio space and the gazebo are so relaxing. This is our second time staying here and it just keeps getting better.

Summary: We had family from 5 to 80… it was an absolutely perfect week. The house is better than pictured. The beds are dreamy… I cannot possibly describe how perfect our experience was!
