"Overall a great place to stay for a bachelorette weekend. We did have some trouble with the shared bar parking lot while there because of some sort of outdoor auction and people parking in the entrance/exits. House is perfect for a group, quiet, and had everything we needed. Listing doesn’t mention that it’s a shared building, which was a surprise but not an issue."

Come relax in a Tranquil Cottage on Island Lake!

10/10 Excellent
"You can tell that the owners have put a lot of thought into the design of this cabin. We appreciated the spacious deck and beautiful lake view. Inside, there are large windows so you get plenty of natural light. When we wanted to close up for the night, the windows were sound proof, the A/C units and ceiling fan were quiet and the sun blocking shades let us sleep in. The bed and couches were super comfy. We enjoyed the well-appointed kitchen with full size appliances, many cooking items and plenty of spices. Everything was spotless. It's an easy drive from Duluth."
