Fantastic stay

Had the most wonderful time with our family at this lakeside cabin. Greatly enjoyed the lake views and using the kayaks and canoe provided by the host as well as the fire pit in the evening. The house is a convenient drive from several attractions such as Duluth canal park and several parks. It is beautifully decorated, has a cozy atmosphere and a well stocked kitchen. Host was very helpful with directions and promptly addressed any issues.

Wonderful home with beautiful view

Wonderful long weekend stay for 2 families with kids. Paddle boat was a hit! Very spacious, nice property with a beautiful deck and view of the lake. Very nice, quiet lake - ideal for kayaking or paddle boating or fishing with kids. Ideal stay, very close to Duluth. We loved it - thank you Lori and Scott!

Great house for staying on Pike Lake or in the Duluth area

We had a great time. The house was just as described. It's about a 25 minute drive to Duluth. We enjoyed campfires by Pike Lake and just sitting around the living room enjoying the views of Pike Lake.

Lovely House on Pike Lake

Our family of 6, grandparents, children and grandchildren spent a week at this wonderful property. We paddled, fished and enjoyed the loons, ducks and hummingbirds. The property is attractive and worked well for our group. It is well maintained, communication with the owner is easy. The drive into Duluth is very doable.

Best place in every way

We were in the area for a wedding and found this place as an incredible retreat from the hustle/bustle of the events. All the beautiful touches were appreciated. All upscale furniture and the views of the lake were just incredible. Hosts were very helpful with a couple of special requests, couldn't have been more helpful. Wish we had had the time to enjoy the water activities - but we'll be back. We all just loved the space and location.

A terrific time in Duluth MN

It was magic. The house was very ADA for me and my wheelchair. My two young grandsons loved biking on the road in front of the house, fishing in the lake, kayaking, and biking on the Munger trail. We all enjoyed the Munger bike trail and the Duluth train Depot

Great House!

Enjoyed the house - it was beautiful and very comfortable. Some areas were very formal and made us a little nervous with all of the beautiful knickknacks and the white carpet. Worked out great for preparing all of our meals although had some struggles with the appliances. Fire places were a plus since the weather was cool. Loved the view of the lake and the "cabin" room. Had an issue with double booking but Scott was very accommodating and proposed some different options to meet our needs. Would definitely stay there again.
