The house known as the 'Captain's Quarters' sits at the forest's edge, set back from the road and tucked into a very private estate. A four year build, (completed in 2008), it is filled with modern luxuries such as a gourmet kitchen, beautiful bluestone gas fireplace, radiant heated floors, a spa bath, air conditioning and wifi internet. Though the amenities are modern, the 'feel' of the home is steeped in an old world charm and beauty. Built with a love for the art, nothing was overlooked. From the heavy Douglas fir timbers, to the ornate cast iron radiators, much was borrowed from days gone by and re purposed here. Details in brass, marble, red wood, granite, copper, maple, limestone, and stained glass are to be found throughout. This home was designed with friends and family in mind, and so is very social and entertains beautifully. It is truly a pleasure to experience! The house is surrounded by gorgeous natural landscapes. White pines tower above mossy cliffs and rocky outcroppings. Wild life big and small weave through the trees. Sweeping cedars huddle and lean into each other. Colorful maples surround it all, both glowing over, and shading the acreage. There's even a pretty forest pond for the frogs and ducks, and ice skating come winter, that sits below a cozy 'lighthouse' on the bluff. And now we have a large pond nestled between the cliffs and the house with a beautiful pavilion to sit and enjoy the ducks and dragonfly's go by. Not to mention all the birds coming and going. (five bird feeders) The property adjoins hundreds of acres of diverse designated 'green spaces' that are woven with miles of walking and cross country ski trails. And if you like e-bikes, we have those available too. And Hartley Recreational area but a short peddle away. This house is located in the perfect part of Duluth. While being only minutes away from Lake Superior and Downtown one way, and the malls and airport the other, there is still an absolutely enchanting feel to it all.

I have to start by saying the pictures don’t do this home justice. It is gorgeous. The woodwork and different built ins throughout the house are amazing. The outside sitting areas are numerous and it is so peaceful looking at the pond and all its inhabitants enjoying the space. There is a hiking trail right out the back door. You feel like you are away from it all but are only a short drive to some beautiful downtown areas of Duluth. Doug is a great host and provided a ton of great information about the house and surrounding areas. We enjoyed our stay so much and would definitely visit Doug’s beautiful home again. ##### Cari S.

The location is very convenient to get to either Canal Park or head north towards the north shore. Kitchen is well stocked with high quality appliances and dishes. All bedrooms have wonderful views of the property. There was plenty of wildlife to entertain everybody and the owner was friendly, helpful and available for any questions. ##### Jennifer K.
