North Shore Timber Home! Minutes To Town! Acres of Privacy! HUNTERS INQUIRE!

Just 3 miles from City of Duluth, 3/4 mile from Lake Superior, near many rivers, & sight seeing areas along the North Shore. Perfect for your family get togethers. Very family friendly! Over the river and through the woods...

Appreciate all the comfortable features and relax and enjoy close proximity to the North Shore & its sightseeing and yet only a few minutes from the City of Duluth! You will appreciate the rustic natural wood timbers, stone/tile & the heart of an authentic log cabin. The living room has a Danish wood burning soapstone fireplace. The formal dining room has 2 tables that will seat up to 12 people with the option of heated tiled floor. The main floor also has a bedroom and hand crafted stone tiled bathroom.

All 3 levels each have a bath & bedroom(s). Master bedroom offers a queen bed and a guest bedroom suite which also has a queen size bed (accessed w/french doors from master bedroom). The lower level walkout has 3 bedrooms (2 queens & a king). The exterior features a large covered deck with grill and tables for dining and looks out onto the private property surrounded by trees.

The property has a gentle slope & children enjoy sledding in the winter. You may see deer on the property or evidence of them frolicking in the yard while you were out skiing or sightseeing.

The property is not located on Lake Superior, but is less than a mile from the McQuade Safe Harbor/Boat launch on Lake Superior.

High speed internet!

**This property is not handicapped accessible. And there are many steps that lead up to the house from the parking area.

Great House with plenty of room and the covered porch was the highlight as it rained off and on during our stay. Location is perfect for day trips into town and up the North Shore.

Incredible house with incredible amenities. Plenty of rooms to accommodate everyone on our trip. Weather was great so we could have our meals out on the deck. There was also plenty of plates and silverware for our meals. We will definitely keep this house in mind for another stay along the north shore.

Peaceful get away

Great place to stay that is close to Duluth and other attractions but feels private and relaxing. Great house and property. Comfortable beds. Great entertaining space on the wrap around balcony. Kids had fun with the fussball table and ping pong table. Very responsive hosts.

Loved our stay at Timber home! Kids were entertained the whole time and adults enjoyed the outside porch. Cabin had everything that a family would need. Highly recommend!

As advertised, owners were pleasant and easy to deal with. House was well equipped (don’t have to run out and buy toilet paper/ paper towels / etc) and there isn’t a huge list of rules and house keeping like there is in some places. Only complaint is that the only way to access the two showers is through a bedroom but we made it work fine.

A gem just outside Duluth

We had a lovely stay with three families. Wonderful space inside and out to enjoy family time. An absolutely beautiful and quiet location convenient to Duluth and the north shore. Such a unique and historic property. You can see and feel the passion and joy that went into moving, building and restoring it. A great experience.

Amazing cabin in the woods

All 13 of my extended family stayed here at the end of July and it was absolutely perfect for our family! We had kids ranging from age 1-15 and there was something for all of them! The house had everything we need for the little ones and the teenagers loved the ping pong table. The large porch was everyone's favorite place to hang out. And Duluth was so close when we wanted to get out for a day activity. Highly recommend for large family gatherings!

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. Loren was an extremely responsive and accomodating host. He quickly answered our pre-arrival questions and was on top of any questions or requests during our stay. The house was well appointed and spacious. The kitchen had the supplies and utensils needed to cook meals for our group of 10. We loved hanging out on the beautiful, large porch and watching the stars and wildlife. Location was convenient to everything we wanted to do. We would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful cabin, perfect north shore vibes. The kitchen was fully equipment with all the basics we needed for cooking, the outdoor patio and seating was perfect for spring weather and the location is ideal for spending a city day in Duluth or a nature day out on the trails
