Host is friendly and quick to respond.Lovely view of the lake and the loons were beautiful to listen to. Beds were clean and comfortable. Comfortable, casual space with carefree accommodations. Unfortunately the plastic connector on the shower head broke while we were there so we were limited to one shower and the accidental insurance plan (bought at time of booking) did not cover the 240.00 replacement (invoice from the host) even though the plan was a 3000.00 damage coverage insurance Generali accidental damage protection. We brought food to grill out and enjoy the lake, but unfortunately the grills were not in working order and the grass had a lot of goose poop on it. The open concept of the home is very interesting, with a loft bedroom and a full view of the lake. The bathroom doesn’t have a full wall on one side, it is an open view from bed to shower to lake, so if you like your privacy this may not be the place for you.Plenty of parking and a lots of fisherman on the lake

Awesome lake property.

Great communication with owner. Beautiful lake front. Would definitely stay again!

This house has an unconventional layout, and I wouldn’t recommend for mixed household groups or families with children under 5. The primary bedroom (and bathroom!) are part of the loft (open ceiling and open wall), so there’s no privacy to the rest of the house. It’s also up a tight spiral staircase. The bunk bed room in the FROG is a ways from the closest bathroom and would be a tough distance from parents to young kids.While technically clean, it was lacking the polish usually seen in professionally cleaned rentals and there were many junk piles inside and around the house - dirty laundry, unfinished projects, opened personal beverages in the fridge (ie not just shareable condiments), etc.That being said, it was spacious and had warm, comfortable accommodations and thoughtful coffee options. We enjoyed the kayaks on the small lake, dock, views, and fire pit on a beautiful fall weekend. We used it as home base for a 1hr drive to Gooseberry and 30 min to Canal Park area of Duluth. It’s a bit remote and we woke to gunshots in the early mornings both days (no blame to the owner, just a warning to other renters who might be alarmed by this).Checkin/checkout was simple and quick. We had no issues to communicate with the owner while there, but his responses before and after the trip were courteous and timely.
