Great place for a family gathering. Lots of room to spread out but a spacious and cozy living room to gather, play games and be together. We were unable to connect to WiFi with the homeâs hot spot- my son had his along so we were able to slowly connect. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was amazing!
The place was in excellent condition. We loved the 4 bathrooms and huge kitchen. 20 minutes from Superior for anything you need. We day tripped to Bayfield in 90 minutes. The highlight was having a fire on the beach at the end of the road.
If you like things in the wilderness and quiet, this is a nice place. Many animals to watch.We were disappointed with accuracy of the listing. Listing says there is a playground, this would of been nice. No playground.Listing states there is a ping pong table, paddles and balls but no table.Property was large but yard was small, this was hard with small children.Listing states fire pit, so we brought wood. There is a fire ring but it is in a small clearing down steep path to lake, not practical location-looks like has never been used.There was about 1 foot between water and woods with several logs in way, making beach difficult to use.There was a beach that was nice withing walking distance.
It was a fun quirky house, only complaint was nervousness about water use. With a family of marathon runners and long hair, we were worried we would set off the alarm!
Lovely home. Great communication. The only thing we wish we would have been made aware of ahead of time before booking was that the WiFi is very slow. It was to be a working vacation and that was made rough due to the speed of the WiFi.
House was very large and had something for everyone. There was 11 of us and 7 were teenagers. Beach was beautiful! Great location if you are looking to explore Madeline Island and Duluth area.
This beautiful home is the perfect spot for a large family or multiple families. There was so much space for everyone and it had everything we needed. We stayed while attending a conference in Duluth, which was a very easy drive from this property. Weâd love to stay again.
We had a wonderful stay at this home! It was the perfect spot for our large family to gather and celebrate our sonâs graduation. The house was spacious, clean, and well-equipped for our needs. We loved having time together, and the lake was a fun bonusâgreat for relaxing and making memories. Kris was great to work withâresponsive and helpful throughout. Highly recommend!
Incredible views and a great space to gather our family to celebrate our motherâs 70th birthday and Easter. Itâs a little further out from town but you will not regret the drive, the view and lake access make it all worth it! Updated home with lots of space and cozy fireplace.
We were a high school robotics team of students and adult mentors in town for a competition in Duluth. The house served our needs well and allowed us to come together for team meals and meetings.
This home has room for everyone to gather for games and meals at a huge table that can seat 12.
We loved that. You also can spread out if you want to chill by yourself and take in the views. During our visit it was cold outside so the fireplace was fabulous. PacMan game was so fun. We mostly loved the short walk through the trees down to the beach on Lake Superior. Love this place and really, the drive from Duluth didn't take too long.
We noticed some repair is needed to the ping pong table in the garage, but we didn't use it anyways.
Thanks for sharing this home!
We held a family bachelorette party for my daughter. There we 13 women ages from 24-65. The house was perfect. Large enough for us to sit and play games and also sneak away to a quite place. The kitchen was perfect. The house was clean and the beds were fantastic. All 13 women were very happy and impressed with the property. The host was very responsive. I would recommend this for large family gatherings. Thanks for the memories. :)
This was a great property for large family sizes. We had young kids 1-4 years old and we all had a blast. The kids loved the large space to play. The many bedrooms made it easy for a quiet nap place. The large kitchen and living room was perfect for accommodating our group. We also enjoyed almost countless hours playing in the water by the lake. It was so beautiful. The host was responsive with questions, kitchen was fully stocked, and beds were very comfortable. The only con was slow internet (we knew this before arriving and downloaded a few movies for the kids) and secondly the house is located at the end of a gravel road (not a big deal but my car will need a good bath). We hope to be back next year.
This is unique property has a lot of room to spread out. The dining room table is ideal for large groups. The sandy beach area is a good spot to check on the wiles of Lake Superior. The river area (just a ten minute walk away) is better for stone skipping, fires, etc. There are only two showers, which takes some coordination for a big group. We enjoyed seeing the waterfalls at Amnicon Falls and Pattison State Parks as well as a day trip to Bayfield and the Apostle Islands.
If youâre traveling with a big group, looking for a place to stay this is a great one to choose! Such a spacious, beautiful location. & close to the beach! Donât miss out, you will have so much fun!
This property was perfect for our family. Plenty of space to be together. The kids enjoyed the dart board, Pac-Man game and the ping pong table. The location was rural but close enough to Duluth for day trips. We hope to visit again soon!
Upon arrival the grass was long. The garage/game room was not habitable for humans. It stunk, the furniture, windows, and walls were filthy. We did not use it at all. Inside the house we had mice run across the kitchen floor and the next day we found two dead rotting mice trapped in a cage beneath the living room sofa. The dead corpses stunk up the room. The master bathroom shower curtain had mold/slime on it and the tile around the toilet was loose and broken and in total disrepair. The large wood dresser were not property anchored and had shims under the feet and presented a hazard to children. Our three year old grandchild opened a drawer and the dresser started to fall but her father was able to hold it up. The carpet on the stairs was old and filthy.
Contrary to the pictures the house has been neglected for a very long time. We have pictures to back up everything we described above. Clearly this was the worse rental we have ever encountered.
Family reunion, 8 adults 6 kids 3-9 yr old. Perfect rambling big house for such chaos. Great location and area. Nothing fancy but suited our purpose well.
