About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Custom Craftsman home. 20 Miles from Downtown Duluth.

Beautiful 4400+ Square feet custom built home that comes with 350' of premier sandy lake superior shoreline. 4 bedrooms-- with 10 beds (4 Full size, 5 queen, to 1 King), 2 sectionals, 2 futons, etc... 4 Bathrooms (3.5 baths, including one custom clawfoot bathtub), a porch, fireplace, fire ring, and a beautiful kitchen. Please come and check out this secluded slice of Heaven located at the end of a 3 mile gravel road.

This house is a great opportunity to bring together loved ones and enjoy quiet time secluded on 10 acres just 20 miles from downtown Duluth. This property abounds with million dollar views, wildlife, and stars you can't imagine. Come spend time with your group on the beach or in the spacious main house around a fire on a cold winters' eve.

Bottom line. this is the perfect property for your family vacation. The only other residents on our road are retired, so we prefer to cater to family gatherings to enjoy our beautiful serenity and the north woods, slow-paced, lifestyle.

If you are looking for weddings or large gatherings, we own the property right next door-- Combining the two we can accommodate 30-35 people in our 11 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. If you're interested in learning more, please let us know. Would love to help you accommodate your group :)

Excellent!!
We held a family bachelorette party for my daughter. There we 13 women ages from 24-65. The house was perfect. Large enough for us to sit and play games and also sneak away to a quite place. The kitchen was perfect. The house was clean and the beds were fantastic. All 13 women were very happy and impressed with the property. The host was very responsive. I would recommend this for large family gatherings. Thanks for the memories. :)

Family Birthday
This was a great property for large family sizes. We had young kids 1-4 years old and we all had a blast. The kids loved the large space to play. The many bedrooms made it easy for a quiet nap place. The large kitchen and living room was perfect for accommodating our group. We also enjoyed almost countless hours playing in the water by the lake. It was so beautiful. The host was responsive with questions, kitchen was fully stocked, and beds were very comfortable. The only con was slow internet (we knew this before arriving and downloaded a few movies for the kids) and secondly the house is located at the end of a gravel road (not a big deal but my car will need a good bath). We hope to be back next year.

Roomy family house with lake access
This is unique property has a lot of room to spread out. The dining room table is ideal for large groups. The sandy beach area is a good spot to check on the wiles of Lake Superior. The river area (just a ten minute walk away) is better for stone skipping, fires, etc. There are only two showers, which takes some coordination for a big group. We enjoyed seeing the waterfalls at Amnicon Falls and Pattison State Parks as well as a day trip to Bayfield and the Apostle Islands.

This property was perfect for our family. Plenty of space to be together. The kids enjoyed the dart board, Pac-Man game and the ping pong table. The location was rural but close enough to Duluth for day trips. We hope to visit again soon!

Unkept Retreat
Upon arrival the grass was long. The garage/game room was not habitable for humans. It stunk, the furniture, windows, and walls were filthy. We did not use it at all. Inside the house we had mice run across the kitchen floor and the next day we found two dead rotting mice trapped in a cage beneath the living room sofa. The dead corpses stunk up the room. The master bathroom shower curtain had mold/slime on it and the tile around the toilet was loose and broken and in total disrepair. The large wood dresser were not property anchored and had shims under the feet and presented a hazard to children. Our three year old grandchild opened a drawer and the dresser started to fall but her father was able to hold it up. The carpet on the stairs was old and filthy. Contrary to the pictures the house has been neglected for a very long time. We have pictures to back up everything we described above. Clearly this was the worse rental we have ever encountered.

Spectacular Family Vacation
Our family stayed here over the 4th of July. I was a bit skeptical when we were winding our way back on dirt roads. We were captivated by how big the house was. Our kids were already there and had put away all the food in the pantry. The property was still quite wet from all the rain they recently received. We did use the beach down the road for the bonfire on the 4thofJuly. The kitchen was one of my favorites. It had windows on both sides. We really appreciated the games and the electronic dart board. Everyone had their own bedroom. This place made beautiful memories for our family.

Great property to get together and just hang out or go for a walk. Close enough to towns, parks for time away or perfect to stay and relax, play games or catch up on a good book. Great retreat! Wish we could have stayed longer!

Family long weekend near Duluth
This is a great property with lots of room right on Lake Superior! Kris is a super host and was very helpful with any questions we had. Home is close to a state park, and a short drive to Superior. Beds were comfortable and it was just a nice gathering spot for our family. Kids loved the catwalk!

We were in the area for a ski/snowboarding trip and wanted a place we could all fit in together. The kids were amazed at the many rooms and staircases and we all enjoyed the common room with the TV, fireplace and dartboard! Great stay for our 3 families totaling 13 people.

Great for family gatherings
This place was very spacious and cozy. Beds were comfy and towels were fluffy. Kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, and dishware. It had rained quite a bit when we were there so it made it a bit more difficult to get down to the lake (muddy and slick). The kids were addicted to the Pac-Man game! I think there could be some improvement on cleaning details but overall it was mostly good and I would recommend staying at this place

Excellent, fun home and property
We absolutely loved this home! The layout is funky but we really enjoyed “exploring” and finding all of the quirky features. There is one bedroom in a converted porch type room, and one main floor 1/2 bath. You must go up or down steps to get to a shower or tub, and there is a step down to the kitchen. You drive a ways on a gravel road, past a farm, which we don’t mind at all but it could be an adventure in wet times or winter. We would love to come back in wintertime to see it, it’s probably beautiful. The walk to the water is fairly steep and the water gets high enough to cover the beach at times- but it’s worth the wait for the beach to open up and worth the walk down. You will need to bring your own salt/pepper/etc. If you can stay at this property and don’t mind steps/gravel roads, you should absolutely do it! We hope to be back soon!

Great place- intruding neighbors
We stayed at Kris' property for the weekend of our wedding. Kris was easy to get ahold of and a joy to work with. The property was perfect for our large group and had plenty of room. FYI- the neighbors are an older retired couple and will call the owner if you do anything in the slightest. We had a very small and tame rehearsal dinner outside for 20 minutes and they called. I recommend the property, but if you have kids or even a big group it felt like we were walking on eggshells
