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.

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

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.

Wonderful property!

We really enjoyed all the space and the covered outside seating area was amazing. Private outdoor setting with the noise of the creeks running water through the property was very soothing. A rainy day didn't even interrupt our time we had to spend with one another.

Together time

Perfect north shore feel! Nice space to visit...amazing deck! Was very well stocked for anything we could need and more. Beds were so comfortable. The motion lights on the stable concrete walk/steps to the house were very nice. That walk gave the place an even more secluded private feel.

Amazing Lodge, clean, comfortable, beautiful setting!

I have been recommending this lodge to any who want a beautiful scenic backdrop with great amenities and close to Duluth! Great hosts, amazing lodge! Can't say enough! I would love to come back with a group of couples in the fall to enjoy the outdoors a bit more and explore more around Duluth! HIGHLY Recommend!

Holiday Weekend Retreat

We truly enjoyed our stay at the North Shore Timber Lodge. Our only regret is that it wasn't longer! There were plenty of bedrooms for everyone, and we were able to cook a delicious Christmas dinner. We would love to come back and take advantage of the beautiful porch, which feels like an additional living area. We liked that we weren't in the middle of Duluth but could reach downtown in just 10 minutes. If you are looking for a unique property, this one will be sure to wow you!

Perfect group housing

We had an amazing stay at Timber Home! The photos don't do the place justice -- it was very clean and fit all of our group (10 people) perfectly. We had dinners on the porch and really appreciated the various supplies (baking dishes/cooking utensils) that ensured we had everything we needed for cooking/baking. The yard was a great spot for a picnic and we saw the northern lights our first night. Additionally, the location was perfect for accessing Duluth but allowing us some privacy. Would stay here again!

Reunited with lifelong friends at a quiet and beautiful home, I couldn't recommend this place more. Clean, with everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Sat outside on the deck drinking coffee and watched a doe with two fawns frolic. Close to Duluth and Two Harbors if you want to explore some parks or shop. We didn't want to leave!

In the middle of Nature

A wonderful time was had by our extended family of 12. The kitchen was awesome for our collection of chefs. Everything you could think of was there, including an amazing coffee bar. Our favorite place to dine was at the long tables on the huge porch with a Blackstone grill at the ready! The house is convenient to activites in Duluth as well as up the North Shore. Our favorite lake was Island lake. A mere 20 minutes inland. Thank you!!!

Great place for our family of 13

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin nestled in tall pines and a snowy landscape. It was extremely clean and well equipped with all the necessities we needed for our five day stay. Loren even generously mailed back to us a well loved stuffie that was accidentally left behind. ❤️ We all enjoyed getting out sliding and enjoying walks in nature. We would definitely stay here again. Our family ranged in ages from 1 - 59.

Unique Experience

Very cozy and comfortable. Has a “House on the Rock” feel. The kids all had there little area to go to and there was also some large gathering areas. Definitely in the woods. A bit of a challenge to get from parking area to front door. It was very enjoyable.

Fall Getaway

Had a fantastic weekend at Timber Home! It easily fit our group of 11 with extra room. Plenty of bed space and seats at the tables. The place was cozy but never felt cramped. So helpful to have a bathroom on all floors. We didn't end up using the firepit--but greatly appreciated the wood left behind for us to use! The property was beautiful and breathtaking as you pull up . The wagon was so helpful to transport supplies from parking area to the house. Initially we were a little worried about this process, but it is really not a long distance we barely noticed! Loren was very responsive and made check in and check out simple. Would highly recommend!

Second stay at this beautiful property!

Annual family gathering with our 3 adult children, their spouses, and grandkids. We returned to the Timber Home because we liked it so much when we stayed here 2 years ago. Plenty of bed space and tons of sturdy kitchenware for feeding hungry folks after hiking at the area parks. The two coffee makers got a workout as almost everyone over the age of 13 drinks a few cups each morning. Secluded in the woods, yet really close to Duluth, and only a short drive to Two Harbors, Gooseberry, Split Rock, etc. A bit of effort to get all your gear into the house, but it's worth it once you're done. Great communication from the property owner and no problems at all during our stay. Thanks again, Loren!
