Great, affordable stay, able to disconnect while also visiting sites.
This worked perfect for our family and our stay, especially with our hound along for the ride. We’d like to return in the summer months to better be able to explore the trails. The one difficulty was the lack of heater in the cabin necessitating use of space heaters. While the cabin remained warm enough I was under the impression there was more centralized heating. Other than that we had no issues and really enjoyed our stay!

Just what we needed
It was a cozy and peaceful stay once we got the heat situation figured out. The contact person was super attentive and took care of what we needed. It was rustic but with nice amenities. Whoever thought to put a heater in the outhouse that you could turn on from inside is genius! It was so nice having the sauna available too. The walking trails were nice. And we appreciate being able to have our dog with us.

nice rustic cabin
We enjoyed our stay in this rustic cabin. There was plenty of space for all 5 of us and it was clean. The camp is nice and quiet. It's located at the end of a long dirt road, which we did not know, but it worked out.

Comfortable and Family Friendly
We wanted space close to Duluth and the North Shore but also wanted to rent a cabin. This location gave us all of that along with its own amenities - beach on Lake Superior, some new hiking trails and proximity to Duluth and all of its attractions. Also, very affordable, clean and just as described.

Great Quiet Location, Needs A Little Improvement
The road coming in is a lengthy slow drive over very rumbly graded dirt road even with the snow. Other than that the location is great, not far from Downtown Duluth but quiet, minimally used woods, and great trails to the river and to the Lake. The photos for cabins are just a little bit deceiving as they are closer together than they seem on photos or in the video. There was an issue with heater in the cabin that was booked but host was great at alerting us ahead of time and giving acceptable alternative options. When first arrived we had a question about outhouse usage and it was very quickly answered. I love that we had the basic privacy like you would a campground where you see others but no one is bothering you or feeling as if a host or caretaker is on their toes with observing you. The children loved the ability to walk out of the cabin straight into the woods so we could explore and play. There are two reasons I would overall rate a 3: 1) The smoke/carbon monoxide detector randomly went off upon waking early in the morning the first night, beeping and yelling fire. We had not even been awake long enough to start breakfast and there was no reason for it to go off. It was hardwired into the wall and I had to remove the plug and battery to get it to stop. Several attempts throughout the day and the next day left it still doing the same thing. I did contact host through the app to let them know and that we did not need anything but I unplugged it and asked the possible reason it had an issue. Because this is a one room cabin and heated by propane fireplace, adding to that having children; I found it to be restless sleep due to worrying anything possibly getting close to fireplace overnight and not having a working smoke detector. I wish staff would have gotten back to me with at least assurance all would be fine. 2) The outhouse is actually a five gallon bucket rather than dug in and with 5 total staying for two nights it got more than halfway quickly. It became unpleasant to use the outhouse quickly once the bucket started filling up. There is a lodge with flushing toilets, however even a fairly short walk up hill in the winter to get to the lodge to use the bathroom at 3am is fairly daunting, especially to get to the front shoveled path is longer still to walk when needing a toilet. Better attention to an issue and emptying any outhouse bucket with more than 2 guests more often (1x per day at least) would leave us having rated a 5.

Solitude!
Really enjoyed the location, the quiet, and the lack of cell service (AT&T). The cabin was just right. Only slight complaint would be the cleanliness and quality of the showers and restrooms. Super minor complaint. We weren’t there for the restrooms.

The cabin and outhouse were clean and cozy, plenty big enough for my family of 5 with a dog. The bathrooms in the lodge were great as was the sauna—wasn’t expecting the facility to be so nice to be honest! It’s been a while since I’ve been to camp!

Outhouse extraordinaire
Not sure what to expect when we booked this property. Was exactly as stated. Granddaughter saw the picture of our "private" outhouse and said "Hate it!" Grew to appreciate the adventure. Clean, rustic, quiet. Close enough to our weekend activities in Duluth and enough on site nature to satisfy all our party.
