Family getaway

Wonderful weekend with my kids and their families. Kayaks and paddle boards were a hit. Loved the dining area… played games, had our meals and loved having morning coffee over looking the lake.

Grandma’s weekend getaway

We had an amazing time! We had a few half-marathoners in the group, and this was a perfect location to rest and recover after race day. The outdoor space was perfect for toddlers, and we all enjoyed the water sports. We would love to come up again!

Great place to disconnect

The lodge was a great place to disconnect from the hustle and loudness of life around us. While the wifi works well, it was nice to not be constantly looking at emails or taking phone calls, the ability to disconnect was great. Fishing at Briar Lake was slow but enjoyable.

Fantastic escape from busy life

This was the perfect place to get away from hectic life of the cities. More than enough space for everyone, as well as spacious room for the dogs to roam. Was out of the inner city enough to receive peace and tranquility, but close enough to run into town to tour canal park and other tourist attractions. I will recommend this place to family and friends.

Magical Get Away in the Woods

This is one of those places you hate to review well because you want to keep it a secret from all. But, alas, 5 starts! It was so cozy, magical and fun. We loved it here.

Beautifully restored log cabin in the Northwoods. Appointed with all the needs for a large gathering. Rustic and comfortable with easy access to the lake. The owners are responsive and very helpful!

Beautiful cabin, beautiful location.

A beautiful cabin in an incredibly beautiful location. The house was spacious, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We loved all of the reading spots throughout the house and the seating area around the bonfire pit was great! Unfortunately the burner on the grill was rotted out and grill didn’t have enough propane for a single use. Also, the sauna only got up to 120 degrees after taking about 2 hours to heat up, which was a bummer, as we were really looking forward to using it.

Best Place for Big Groups!

My friends and I (12 adults and 1 infant) stayed here for a few days this fall, and last year in March I stayed with family (6 adults and 3 kids). This is a GREAT spot for large groups to spend time with one another; the space allows for people to come together or break off if different groups want to do their own thing. The huge dining room table and butler's pantry make kitchen prep and meal times simple, and the fireplace (supplied with firewood!) makes it such a cozy space to connect!!

Duluth family gathering

The property was a little far to travel to duluth and the north shore. Other than that the cabin was comfortable for our ages of family . Loved the huge table that we could all gather at for meals and games. The fire pit and lawn area were great for outdoor activities that we love. The access to the lake front was a little dangerous for our 2 year old , but the weather was not hot and so we didn’t spend a lot of time in the water. Overall it met our needs very well.

Wedding Reception/Family Weekend

This place was awesome! Beautiful & perfect for our small casual wedding reception & family stay! The only thing I could recommend to the owners is to provide some hand lotion in the bathroom & kitchens. We did use the oven to warm up some food & found an issue due to someone leaving a broiler pan full of grease in the bottom causing a smoke issue but were able to resolve it with removing the pan & using fans & and windows to clear the smoke. We did clean the pan & the dirty dishes that were left in the dishwasher. Other than that everything went very smoothly & we would not hesitate to stay here again in the future!

Beautiful property - could use some attention

First, this is a gorgeous house with an incredible panoramic view of a nice lake. It was spotless when we arrived and overall we really enjoyed our stay. There were only seven of us, and I would say that this property is a much better value for a larger group (of people who are willing to stay in the same room, as a lot of the sleeping spaces are shared, like the two loft rooms with two double beds each, for example). For our size group it ended up seeming a bit expensive for what it was. Our critiques are relatively minor, but worth noting. First of all the internet is not great here, so don't go expecting to be able to catch up on work or video chat. We really like to cook and had some issues. The oven is dangerously off-kilter. The grill was propped up on broken legs. These and a few other minor details suggest that someone with an eye to detail should review the amenities closely. We appreciated the paddle boat, standup paddleboard, and kayaks, though I would say that for a property that is intended to sleep so many people, a greater number of kayaks would be more appropriate. Even our small group could not be on the water all at once.

Relaxing time at the lake

This large log cabin was a very fun spot to stay. The cabin construction was amazing to examine. The large enclosed front porch has a beautiful view of the lake with loons and osprey. There are nice outdoor spaces too, for games and relaxing. Close enough to Duluth to do a few city things too. Clean and cozy. We would stay here again.

Elegant & cozy!

Easy check in, was good to know there would be no cell service in advance so we could plan for that. Lots of extra amenities provided (single use toothbrushes, combs, etc.) Decor was gorgeous and luxurious, the perfect blend of rustic and elevated. The well water definitely had a distinct color and fragrance—I’d personally recommend bringing plenty of bottled water. Photos of the rooms or the view don’t do it justice, nearly every room overlooks a new angle of the lake glittering between the trees. Would recommend to anyone who needs a place on the north shore that sleeps quite a few people!

Great winter getaway

Perfect for a group of friends with kids. The large fireplace was a big draw for us and it did not disappoint (though be sure to bring plenty of firewood to keep the flame going). We enjoyed playing in the snow with the kids out on the frozen lake and even found some nice Superior Hiking Trail hikes nearby, which were wonderful in the snow. Would absolutely stay again.

Nice rustic beach house

I booked this place because i had family coming over from other state that wants to experience winter here in cold Minnesota. They were very pleased with the place. They wanted to experience walking on a frozen lake and they got to experience that. The lodge has a good space for everyone. The only thing negative was that the loft/attic room was very cold because we did not use the portable heater that was provided.. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay in this place and we would like to see it again in the summer.

Friendcation

With four family and 4 little ones 0-3yo. It was the perfect size for our group. We enjoyed the long dinner table inside and long picnic table outside the comfortably fit all 12 of us. The location was quite and the yards was perfect for the toddler to run around in. The main room was perfect a spot for all the adult to sit and the kids to play with toys. We enjoyed the feature of the doors locking in the main room to help keep the crawlers in one location. It was very infant friendly in the aspect of no stairs, just ladders to the lofts. We had a wonderful time it will definitely be a core memory for our friend group.
