We loved it so much in 2024 that we returned in 2025! This is a great place to unplug, enjoy nature and have a great time with our family. Enjoying s'mores around the fire pit, kayaking and paddle boarding, fishing and taking in beautiful lake are our highlights! Highly recommend!
It was the perfect stay. Beautiful cottage at a beautiful lake. So many little details John and Lori provided that made this hoilday so special for the kids and us. Thank you!
Our family (parents toddler) had a great time visiting Lori & John's. A perfect jumping off point to explore the area, and for ending each night by the fire. Would love to come back and recommend to others.
We had a fantastic time at this prefect cabin for our family. Cabin is modern with all the amenities you need. Fire pit area was a big hit every night! John and Lori were super nice and accommodating. We plan on visiting again and would highly recommend!
Absolutely perfect stay! John and Lori were incredibly accommodating to our family during our stay at the cottage. They had an ice rink plowed, bonfire ready to light, and welcome basket in the kitchen. The cottage was so tidy and clean. There were tons of games and toys for our children to enjoy. We loved everything about our stay. It was amazing!
This cabin is perfect! We arrived & were surprised to see a birthday banner & cake for my husbands birthday! And a beautiful basket of goodies! We were so surprised to have someone go out of their way like this. Lori & John are Fantastic Hosts!
The cabin is phenomenal! Has everything you could want and more. They have done an amazing job with all the beautiful metal work & the fire pit area is amazing! We had a wonderful time! I Highly recommend & hope to return when we can enjoy the lake as it was fall.
Thank You Lori & John!

Clean, comfortable cabin on a quiet lake. Excellent communication with the hosts, who were welcoming and helpful. Beds are comfortable. I loved kayaking around the lake.
It was exceptional! The photos are accurate, the quality is high of the structure, fixtures, finishes and furniture. The kitchen is well stocked so you can cook a real meal. : ). The boat (for a fee), the kayaks and paddle boards enabled us to enjoy the water and fishing! The fire pit and yard games were great too! The hosts are wonderful people and we look forward to returning to this cottage on Pequaywan Lake!!
We stayed with 4 grkids. The accommodations were perfect. We loved the remote peacefulness. The kids had great fun fishing, swimming, and paddling right from the dock. We would highly recommend if you want a place away from crowds.
Lori & John are beyond amazing hosts! They go above + beyond in all aspects! The cabin was very clean (i have undiagnosed ocdđ), updated & not a detail was forgotten! A perfect getaway any time of the year! A gem of a place with more than gracious hosts! Enjoy!
Found John & Loriâs lovely updated cabin overlooking a peaceful lake to be super restful and comfortable. Decorated with a nod to the north woods, very clean, with great beds for napping and numerous spots to sit outside and enjoy natures sights.
It was a great time fishing with my boys. The cabin was like brand new, very clean and well organized, the fire pit up near the cabin was a great place to hang out in the evening and talk about our day fishing and being on the lake. The pontoon boat that the host provided suited our needs perfectly.
The house is perfect, just steps away from the lake! Everything was there, kayaks, paddle boats/boards, canoe, life jackets, bikes, you name it! Our kids enjoyed the fire pit and playing ladder golf. It was so much fun.
We went to Duluth and enjoyed a train ride, walking on the beach, and canal park.
John and Lori were very helpful with suggestions on things to do and places to visit. They were so nice and had everything ready for us on arrival, including supplies for smores!
It was a great stay, we would love to go back! Highly recommend!
Accommodations around the Duluth area can be hard to come by during Grandmaâs Marathon weekend. We were so fortunate to find this gem! The owners provided everything you need (and more) for the perfect lake vacation! We enjoyed fishing, using paddle boats, paddle boards, kayaks, having nightly bonfires, and even took a bike ride with the provided bikes! The only downfall is that we stayed such a short time, we will be back for a full week in the future! 10/10 rating!! Thank You Lori and John for everything!
We absolutely loved our stay here! They have thought of every need you may have! John and Lori were very friendly and very hospitable! House was very clean and comfortable. Kids loved all the activities they had to offer! They have activities for all ages.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here! Decided last minute to take the kids to the north shore for the fall colors. So happy I found this gem! Definitely could have used more time so that we could have enjoyed the property and the lake more! Would definitely stay again.
John and Lori were wonderful hosts! They respected our privacy while accommodating all our needs. They are the embodiment of being "Minnesota nice". The location is beautiful and the house was clean and inviting. it is perfectly located to get away and be close enough to so many beautiful locations. We were able to seethe split rock lighthouse, Canal park, The Haunted Ship in Duluth, and so much more! Thank you for the wonderful stay!
My family and I had a great time at this little hideaway cabin. The place was well stocked with all the items we needed for a 6 day stay. There were fishing poles and all the gear and plenty of little fish to catch right off the dock. We enjoyed being outside and listening to the sounds of nature. There were comfortable beds and plenty of extra bedding. Toys for the kids were a big help! We highly recommend staying at this cozy little cabin, but would suggest bringing all of your food and necessities with you as there are very limited options nearby, but that has no bearing on the cabin itself. Itâs a fantastic retreat!
The cabin is very modern and slept all of us with ease. The lake view from the yard is gorgeous. Great fishing off the dock. My kids caught fish all throughout the day! We loved trying out the canoe, kayaks, paddle boards and paddle boat. It was really nice to have a fire pit both up by the cabin and again by the dock. We would definitely stay here. Lori and John are excellent hosts!
Wonderful location. Cabin was beautiful and well appointed. Lake was quiet and the fishing was great! Lori was very attentive and provided treats for our dog and a gift basket for our kiddo. Great experience!
John and Lori have a great spot. They had a Happy Birthday banner and gift basket waiting for us along with a couple of cake pops in the freezer. That was very thoughtful. The cabin was very clean and nicely finished.
It really was a great stay. John and Lori were both very responsive.
