We enjoyed the time we spent here. It was very cozy. Although it was across the parking lot of the local bar and eatery, it was very quiet at night. The shower in the downstairs bathroom was not handicap accessible, which was disappointing. The bedroom downstairs was very small and not efficient for someone wearing a prosthetic leg. Overall, we were able to adapt to the space and enjoyed ourselves. Thank you for opening your home to us. We would definitely stay again if we choose Duluth for our reunion.

Wonderful place!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. There were 13 of us (7 adults and 6 kids) ranging in ages 5 to 68. We were a little concerned about some of the negative reviews we read before we got there, but didn't find anything that prevented us from having a great time!

The property was what we needed. As other reviews mention, it is RIGHT next to the bar but we really didn’t notice noise or anything negative about that. It wouldn’t be a first choice for a family who wants a secluded location but it was great for what we needed.

Overall, the trip was amazing. We really had a lot of fun! The only thing would have been if we were closer, and not so tucked into the corner by the lake. Other than that, much fun was had by all!

Duplex located in busy bar parking lot next to a loud busy road, on a cove not the actual lakeshore
Listing says it’s a private lakeside home, but it’s a duplex next to a busy bar/restaurant. Main entrance literally steps from busy parking lot w/ bar traffic & a busy 2-lane road (45-55 mph) with constant noise. It was so loud in bedrooms we got box fans to try to drown out road noise (no match for loud dump trucks & ATV’s speeding by). The “lakefront” is actually a small cove off a channel that connects to the lake & is busy w/ bar patron boats (we came home some evenings with no place to dock our boat). The swimming beach advertised as across the street: you have to climb over a metal guardrail, walk across a busy road at a curve & then traverse down a steep unmarked dirt path covered in roots. Bedrooms have only sheer window panels that block no sound or light. Direct a.m. sun in windows facing the road, lights from parking lot shine in side windows at night. The kitchen is outdated, small & sparsely stocked; there were literally 4 spoons total for a home that is advertised to sleep up to 14. This may be a good spot for a guys fishing/snowmobiling trip but definitely NOT ideal for a family vacation w/ 5 kids under 12. We felt duped by the listing’s approximate location (shows the house as located across the road on the lake). SO disappointed but we had zero options to change at the last minute during a holiday week. Booked/paid in full a year in advance & didn’t have many reviews to warn us that this isn’t a quiet lakeside retreat appropriate for families/kids.

***Not quite what we expected***
This is nice inside but there were several “surprises” we didn’t expect based on the listing. We did not realize that this is a two unit property until we pulled up. There was another car parked there so we were never sure if there was someone there. Also there was someone staying in a tent that we “think” was on the same property. There were doors that we weren’t sure led to the other unit, but there was not curtain on one which was super uncomfortable. When it said that there was a bar/restaurant next door we didn’t think we’d share a parking lot (literally drive through to get to the property). It felt uncomfortable, no privacy and felt unsafe for our kids to be outside w/out an adult. The listing says lakefront & technically it is but it’s more of a cove/pond feel & there are constantly boats coming in to refuel at the dock next to the fire pit (which incidentally is on a staggered, sloped space and not directly next to the water). A grill was advertised & it was disgusting: rusted out, burrs on the grate & super dirty-could not use it! . Indoors the window facing the water was cracked/broken. A few of the beds were extremely uncomfortable, squeaky (just seemed old). The stairs squeaked loudly. One tv didn’t work & a couple of the remotes did not have working batteries. We appreciated having a place to stay & the main living area was pretty, the deer were fun to watch and the bar pizza is great. I would say good rental/not for families though. Not worth what we paid

The house itself was good. Plenty of space and supplies. Clean, updated bathrooms were nice! Enjoyed the convenience of the bar/restaurant but did not realize it was so close and there was a lot of traffic in and out. Also, the lakeside was not what we were expecting. The lake water was very low and the house is located next to a small pocket that connects to a bigger lake so we are glad we did not bring our boat.

We wanted somewhere close to Duluth but not in town. This was the perfect distance to all the things we wanted to do while in the area. Very nice house and lots of beds. Very cozy sitting by the fireplace at night. Just across the driveway from the bar and grill was nice - food and service was great! We didn't get to use the firepit outside but it looked like a nice amenity. Would definitely stay here again.

The property was in a great location for our extended weekend family getaway. Close to Duluth and right on a lake. The bay was nice for the grandkids/adults to go paddle boarding and kayaking without having to deal with waves from the lake. The lake was so close, very short walk, for swimming and beach activity. We met our host the 1st night and he assured us if we needed anything to just give him a call. There was no need as the house was well set up and we had everything we needed. Would stay here again!
