This was a fantastic cabin to stay for my whole family on my daughter's graduation weekend.The beds were very comfortable and we had all the amenities we needed. Our host brought us wood so we could enjoy a lovely campfire. We had great communication with our hosts if we had a question or needed anything. Would highly recommend!!

Everything about our weekend at this beautiful cottage went above and beyond our expectations. The Johnstons were incredibly kind and caring and made the check-in and check-out process a breeze. The home was clean, warm, and inviting. From the numerous cozy and comfortable beds, to the luxurious sauna, our family enjoyed every part. There was truly something for every age: memories in the snow and on the swing set with the kids, games and puzzles, and stocked coffee bar, to name a few. With the close proximity to Duluth, we were able to go out on a few excursions and still have plenty of time together at the cottage. Thank you to the Johnstons for sharing this little slice heaven!

This was a fantastic property just outside of Duluth and was perfect for our group of nine people. Plenty of seating in living and dining areas and nice outdoor space with a fire pit. The kitchen was very well stocked. The owner was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend this property.
